Paper Artsy with Suzz

On Wednesday Suzz made a lovely frame called Courage and Dreams...as pink is not my usual colour I thought I would like to have a go at what Suzz had done.

I didn't have a frame so used a piece of grey-board.
Firstly I painted the background with moonlight and
a touch of lilac frescos.

I don't have any of the dylusion sprays so mixed some cranberry colour wash with some snowflake and roughly dabbed some around the edges. I stamped the girl from ID02 on smoothy white card, cut her out and stuck her down. Gave her a slight shadow with portfolios. I stamped  the letters from ID04 down the side using archival mangenese blue. I used one of my fav little script stamps from Clocks C1 in french ultramarine in the background.

Sprayed the roses in cranberry colour wash and added a bit of white, added chain and baubles with ribbon to the top. Finally I framed it with aged mahogany distress ink and threw on some cerise pink scrim around the edges and the baubles...done!! I know it is very much the same as Suzz but wanted to see how I got on with those colours...
