NEW PaperArtsy {2014} Products: Lynne Perrella Collection

Well, first of all Happy Valentine's Day! And there certainly has been an overwhelming amount of love received here at PA HQ this week from you all regarding our newest collections that we have revealed. Thankyou! Yes a lot of work does go into doing this, and for a very small company, I think we punch above our weight. Good things come in small packages though right?

Well you might not have received a whole bunch of diamonds today from your loved one (or perhaps you did), but for the rest of you but we've got 5 amazing diamond stamp sets here for you to consider! We are seriously thrilled with this early 2014 release from Lynne Perrella. If you ever have the opportunity to take a class with Lynne you should. I like to think of her as a wise enabler. She exudes the most wonderful manner in class that just gets you to dig deep and discover talents you never knew you had inside.

Her way of creating stamps is fascinating, she researches, collects items, ponders, and then when she's ready, she starts to collage elements and images together. You can see she has her go-to people or faces that she often works around, and I feel like we are sharing a small part in the lives of Lynne's ladies; gradually getting to know them from different eras, or dressed for different occasions. 

I have collected 'face stamps' for years, and Lynne's design style is one that I clicked with many years ago when I bought plenty of her Acey Deucy Wood mounted stamp designs. He unique design style still screams from these new stamps as loud as it did all those years ago. 'People' stamps like this are great as you instantly have a focal point to work around. Lynne's stamps are so quirky that you can take them in all kinds of directions, and it always just 'works' right. This ticks my ever-important 'versatility' box when it comes to crafty purchases.

As luck would have it, this year, we have developed a 'script' theme that gently weaves its way through many of the PaperArtsy collections, and Lynne, by the powers of the universe, and her ever perceptive muse has also utilised fonts, scripts, fountain pens and coordinating postal elements. So we couldn't be happier with this latest release from her. We got our ducks in a row this year...or is that flying ducks on the wall! Well these will certainly be on the walls of many shops over the coming weeks I am sure!
