Paperartsy - Colour Mixing and new stamps

The current topic at Paperartsy is Colour Mixing and we have seen some fabulously informative posts about how to mix colours (and not make mud!) and some of the guests have taken a huge amount of time to experiment with colours.  Kim Dellow has also released a new set of stamps to go alongside her earlier releases and they are gorgeous!

so I had a play in my journal with some bright contrasting colours (Inky Pool, Limelight and Bougainvillea) for some impact and stencilled modelling paste.

I started with the black modelling paste to get some texture on the page, and then painted round the paste (once dry) with the paints.. I used some white to slightly tone down the pink.

and some white and black marker doodling to outline the breaks between the colours (it was feeling a bit map-like at this stage but I still had no idea where I was going..)

 then Kim's stamps arrived and I had a play... stamped them on some white cardstock, and painted them with the same 3 colours, cut them out and glued them to the journal.

Added some thinned Snowflake by using the Tim Holtz splatter brush

Hoping to have another (better) play at this for the challenge if thee is time.. but the Olympics have started (I am watching a re-run of the Opening Ceremony as I write this) so I may be a bit distracted...
