Little Boy Blue

On day 2 this week over on the paper artsy blog Sue Carrington did a lovely canvas with loads of very interesting layers. you can pop over and see it here.

Not a very long post today as I had a little accident yesterday and ended up in A&E so having to rest my sprained wrist as much as possible!! I followed along more or less what Sue did so you can follow the instructions from Sue...I must say this was very quick and enjoyable piece to do...

Had a very busy week this week so not much time to go into my shed and create... Over on the Paper Artsy blog this week Darcy was back with 5 amazing projects...you really should pop over and and have a looksie.A brilliant apron here, next up was some home made washi tape and storage to keep it nice and tidy here and here. Next she did a great journal page you can see here...and last but by no means least Geisha kitty!! and she is right here. She really did create some beautiful projects this week.

It started as a T!mmy Tag...

As I had the day off today I thought I would have a go at the May tag over on the Tim Holtz blog. I haven't used my distress inks for a while so was looking forward to having a play..then realized I didn't really have a stamp suitable. Never mind I can still use my inks. Then I remembered my Andy Skinner stencils that arrived late last week, I had already used the children one so now was the time to try out the Baroque one....it is gorgeous!!

 I started off with a size 8 tag and used picked raspberry, broken china,wild honey and evergreen bough distress inks, just randomly covering the tag. I then used black soot through the stencil..

I stamped some small script and numbers minis from paper artsy in vermillion archival all over the tag,
then Dream from a T!m set and coloured it in with an orange pitt pen..also added some of the orange around the numbers.

I edged the tag with black soot and added some white dots with a white gel pen, a few bits of white to highlight the face.

I coloured a piece of seam binding in distress inks and tied it to the top..I do love this stencil..
