Yesterday, Emma who works with Paperartsy shared a video she'd made with Leandra where she showed some fabulous work she'd demo'd at Ally Pally - really wish I'd been there on the Sunday to see it.
I had to have a go, so here I am again, with another project for the Paperartsy challenge. The video is
HERE and it's great to watch.
I glued book text and stencilled grunge paste through the PS001 stencil and then a Crafters Workshop stencil, used the two hearts - and South Pacific. I couldn't get my spray bottles to work so just used cut'n'dry foam.
I decided to do what Emma did then, and, using my fingers, I added Tango, Chartreuse and Dusty Teal to the background - I'm working on a whole A4 sheet of Papartsy Heavy Smoothy card. I wasn't too happy with the results I was getting, so swapped to a paintbrush part way through! (easy for step by step photos, too!)
I sanded back over the grunge paste stencils as I felt they'd been too obliterated.
Used one of the new Ellen Vargo stamps for my stamping, together with Paperartsy Mini 28 (numbers)
Then it was time to knock back with Snowflake - still with a paintbrush for me!!
and like Emma, some bottle cap accents and the little 'pacman' tool for some great top layer accents.
Finally, like Emma I finished with some Snowflake flicking off the paintbrush - fun, but messy (I need a bigger craft space, and the living room maybe isn't an ideal space for this project....) and outlined the hearts with the black portfoleo pastel.
I shall use this for cards or atc's or something, soon! It was fun - thanks, Emma - can't wait to see more of your work!

Really cool masterboard... love how those hearts pop against all the fabulous layers. Haven't caught the video yet, but after visiting you and Sam, I'm looking forward to it!

This is so lovely, Helen! I would prefer it kept whole in a frame, it is too nice to cut up,

Great take on Emma's board Helen love the colours. I agree with Lucy would look fab framed xx
I love the colour scheme and how the white tones down the background - fab stuff
I was delighted to read you created a masterboard. Now that I know what they are, I'm sure I'll try more. But yours was fantastic.
I was also glad to read your sprays didn't work. You have NO idea how much time I spend trying to get mine to work. I wish they would find a good sprayer that actually worked for a change.
BTW, do you think we'll have a Craft Barn challenge this week?
Fab masterboard Helen. I watched Emma demoing some of her techniques on the Sunday at AP. Was lovely to watch her. Love your colours on here too!
Hugs
