After the 3UP fun, this week, the new
Paperartsy Guest Designers - well the first one - start their term in office. The first designer is the lovely, talented
Sue Carrington and she has made a beautiful canvas, do check it out if you haven't seen it
This is my 'inspired by', version.
I used a 5x7 canvas frame, and more or less followed the same method as Sue did, with different stencils and stamps along the way, apart from the tulip as my main image. I die cut the tulip from some black card painted with blood orange fresco paint, and then over-stamping with the tulip stamp. The leave is cut from card treated in the same way, painted with tinned peas. (this isn't a die)
I haven't photographed the sides, but I can report that it was very fiddly getting the grunge paste through the wall stencil!!!
The paints I used were Nougat, Brown Shed, Irish Cream, Stone and then Bora Bora /Stone for my bumping. (as far as I can remember... I did this yesterday before craft club!)
The stencilling of the leafy vine was Hyde Park.
Looks Fab hunni! Love the texture. X

This background looks so much fun, although I can imagine doing the sides would be fiddly! The tulip looks great - Blood Orange is such a lovely colour - I need it! I also need Grunge Paste! I'd better take the time tomorrow to invest in some. Oh dear, will my bank balance recover? x
