NEW PaperArtsy {2014} Products: Eclectica³ Darcy Collection

Darcy Wilkinson took up the challenge of Guest Designer for the PaperArty blog in 2013. She totally amazed the wider PA blog family with her unusual approach to being creative, and certainly inspired many to have a go at the numerous techniques she presented. She even made a giraffe from scratch, who was rightly named Colin.

In August to coincide with her final post, we released a couple of stamp sets, and she did 2 more for Christmas.

So we are thrilled to add 4 more A5 stamp sets to the Eclectica³ Darcy Collection: 

Darcy has also designed 8 minis (credit card size stamps)

 

  

 

I'm sure you would like to see some samples of what Darcy and some of our other guests have been up to with Darcy's newest stamps. I'm only showing you a few here, but if you pop to these peoples blogs, they also will have more pics of what they made and how.

First up Darcy herself, this gorgeous piece caught my eye, beautiful paint layers in the wood background, such a content little bird! Love the Grunge Paste wood-effect background.

And next a Darcy Flower garden with flowers generated from circle stamps,and bespoke stalks.

This home is stunning, the frame is made from little fabric squares, then all kinds of cool effects to create a typically Darcy border. The hose stamps are a trio of steampunked delights from Plate 8. And below, a Darcy mini, another little house. Lots of details to enjoy here.

Alison Bomber really enjoyed the rustic nature of getting back to nature in her samples

Linda Cain in her typically bright and colourful manner has created some stunning pieces with lots of detail in the backgrounds and uses paint shading to create focus within each piece.
