Discover Extraordinary..

I have a triple for you today, three totally different journal pages with new Paperartsy goodies...
the first, which is actually the last I made, is inspired by Alison Hall's splattery plaque from yesterday on the Paperartsy blog - inspired by the colours and the splatters.

 I have most of the new Fresco individual colours now, and was keen to play with the purples and blues.. Started by brayering Wisteria over the page, then added a couple of drops of Purple Rain which I blending with a babywipe and continued to brayer and blend for a bit...

 added some texture, in the form of tissue tape and the hessian type mesh "stuff" I used in a previous piece..I fixed these with matte medium, and then brayered a bit more Wisteria over the top to help blend it into the background.  
Stamping next - took the script and circles from Sara's new set, used Watering Can and black, respectively.  bit more dry brayering to blend that in just a little.










Took a scrap of white card, brayered Wisteria on it and stamped one of Sara's texts from an earlier plate and cut it out and stuck to the page.

and stamped 'discover' and 'extraordinary' directly onto the page.. added some more of Sara's stamping, spatters and circles in Blueberry.

Finished with some splatters of Chalk Fresco, got best results with a coffee stirrer and slightly watered down paint.


Am entering this to the Paperartsy "paint" challenge here  and, because there are lots of drips and drops, both stamped and literally, I am entering the CountryView Challenge "drips and drops" here 

 next up is a page in my small A6 journal, bit of fun with JoFY's new stencil in Chalk over Cherry Red background and the flowers are painted with some of the new purples.

next is a page I am calling Homes for Smurfs - mainly because I used the new blue Smurf, and the stencilled bubbles are Blueberry (gorgeous colour!)

I bumped with Chalk Fresco

and stamped Lin's houses twice the solid, and once the outline, and cut as shown.  The text is Lin's, and the little circles are from the big flower set, stamped in Blueberry to match the under-bumping.

Thanks for looking!
