WOYWW 451 - new journal pages, new stamps!

Welcome to another Wednesday desk-fest... Week 451...
I am still (buying new stash) using stash I haven't used before; using new stamps; creating art... did I mention buying new stamps?

I have had a bit of a splurge (and some!) on some of the new Paperartsy releases that have been launched at Creativation (what used to be called CHA, much easier!) and the first two sets have arrived..

so these are the first two  - designs by Raquel Burillo Perez ("Scrapcosy")  and I inked them up straight away (because I am going to now.  No more storing stroking not using stuff.. Buy it.. Use it..for a while at least!)

You can see they are laying against my square journal which I am having such fun in... so, Monday night I used the ship set, on the blue page... and Tuesday night (tonight, but don't tell) I used the seahorse set on the pink page..

 the blue paints were brayered and when the stamps arrived, I added a bit more white paint to allow the ship to show up... it stamps beautifully, as you would expect for Paperartsy stamps...

the pink page (applied paint with my fingers, something I never do, and really don't like to do much, but for some reason it felt right...)  It started as so often, with leftover paint from something else

I know pink is odd for a seascape, but hey it's a fantasty seascape! 

I had forgotten that the page beneath this one was the one with all the die cut flowers glued to it, so some dodgy stamping happened - so I re-stamped the big seahorse and the octopus on tissue and glued it over the dodgy images..
See, on WOYWW we share our secrets! 

and here they are on my desk!


There is a lot more stuff to come, but some of it is on pre-order, so I don't know exactly when it will be making it's desk appearance! 

you'll just have to keep watching..


Thanks for your visits last week (and in advance of today)  and I will catch you very soon
