Hi friends,
It's Victoria, from VictoriaWildingCreates, with you for another 'With 3 Things' challenge post.
For this feature on the PaperArtsy Blog 3 identical items are sent to 3 members of the PaperArtsy Blogging team. Typically we will receive a stamp, a stencil and a couple of Fresco Paints.
We have no clue what PaperArtsy HQ is going to send, the whole idea of this challenge is to do something crafty in our personal style with these 3 items. We can incorporate other PA products into the mix if we feel it is necessary.
So let's take a look at what I received from PA HQ ...
I squealed with delight when I saw these goodies! Text, flowers and purple… three of my favourite things. There’s so many creative options with these products, so it was a bit tricky deciding which direction to take, but then I remembered a frame I bought months ago (from a UK shop called The Range), with the intention of framing some art for the house. Needless to say it was still sat in a drawer forgotten, so I decided to make some faux vintage frame art ...... let's take a closer look.
I love relatively clean and simple designs, but you can still pack a punch with lots of visual texture, so that was always the direction I was going to take. I started out with a small rectangle of white cotton fabric and added some text from the Documents Printed Tissue (PT07) using some clear drying glue. I also teased out some threads at the edges of the material for extra interest.
Next I took a piece of 6x4” Kraft card to use as the main background piece, and added some text stamping using the verse stamp from The Violets Edition set (EAB30) with white embossing powder. I chose the classic look of the white text against the Kraft card to tie in with the white fabric and the text from the printed tissue,
I then secured the fabric in place using double sided tape, to prevent wet glue soaking through the fabric and creating wrinkles.
I wanted to add one of the violet stamps next, so I stamped out the smaller image onto white card using Black Archival Ink, so I could add colour without the image smudging.
Then I used Mattint in the colour Bellflower to colour the flowers. The transparency of these Fresco Tint’s are perfect for painting over stamped images without obscuring the detail of the stamped image.
Before adding Mattint’s in Greenstone and Fern (MT03) for the stems and leaves.
I fussy cut the flower and glued it to the bottom right hand corner of the fabric and card.
Finally, I wanted one last element to tie everything together and decided on some white splatters using an acrylic paint pen.
I love the simple, elegant look of the finished piece, and whilst I’m using this in a frame, it could easily be used as a card design too.
And the distressed white and brown of the frame, matches the piece perfectly.
It’s going to look lovely sat on my ladder shelf, together with some candles and dried flowers.
I hope I’ve inspired you to have a go at using your PaperArtsy products to make some art for your home.
Until next time, wishing you a happy, creative week!
