Fresh Beginnings ATP Exchange

'Fresh beginnings', 

is the theme for the first Challenge of the year at the Artist Trading Post Exchange.
 Sue has asked us to - look at our supplies and share a new product/new supplies/new technique etc.
Its a mixed media challenge and we would like to see stamped images,no digi's.





One of my new items was the Sizzix Artful Dwellings die cut plate.
On the left you can see how they looked in the early stages.
The favourite french script stamp in the background.
The colours mainly used were Vintage Photo and Broken China
 Distress inks. To add depth and textures I used Paper Artsy  Grunge Paste  and   layering stencils  from Tim Holtz




I had decided to use one of the images from  another new set of stamps by Dina Wakley and some Dylusions  clear stamp word quotes .
Extra texture added at this stage was Stampendous Frantage powder.
Next job was to stick them back to back and fix so they could fold.
This triptich is going to a friend with a great sense of humour so the quotes, will make her smile. Especially when I know she needs a cup of tea to start her day, before she can face the world.


I do hope you will pop over to see what we all made and join the challenge, our winner will receive a £10 store voucher from the Artist Trading Post.
 I have highlighted the products I used which are available from the store.

Thank you for taking time to stop by, I realy appreciate your comments .

My Favourite Things for TioT's


The first challenge over at Try it on Tuesdays for 2015 is
'My Favourite Things'
Could be a new product, image, a technique etc.,
 please pop over for all the details and see what are the teams favourites..
The new image for me was this Dina Wakley,  butterfly stamp. Then I got to thinking about all the things I love to use, like the very old  french script stamp in the background.
The Vintage photo distress ink was used on the material scrap in the corner, it was pure white  to begin with.
Watercolours on the butterfly and Spectrum Noir Aqua tints for the layers.
Yes I think paints are high on my favourites list.
 I did find it hard to pick out just a few  things.

Thank you for stopping by, the comments you leave for me are always appreciated.

Pathways.

2015 at Journal 52  and so our year begins with its first prompt for week 1
'Pathways'

.
There was a little mopping up on this page to begin with, hence a bit pink in places.
I used mainly stencils to create my scene [Sheena Douglas] and a variety of distress Inks
The words read....
What appears to be the end
is usually the start of a new beginning.

I will be following the prompts over the weeks, as I did last year,
 some late, some to catch up and maybe a few on time.
But that's life and we should all follow our own path at our own speed and enjoy the journey.

Thank you for taking time to stop by, I do so appreciate your comments.
