Play Day

Today I had chance to play with some new techniques I have been learning with Christy Tomlinson on her She Art class.  The first part is learning how to complete the backgrounds to put the "girls" on.  I completed three backgrounds using tissue paper, patterned paper, book paper and ephemera.  Then used spray inks, paints, stencils and stamps to add texture. 


This page is using the texture paste through a Crafters Workshop template with a paper and spray ink background.

Using paints, templates and rubber stamps over tissue paper.

As I had some left over paste I used it through this seaside stencil which my lovely friend Alexa gave me for my birthday to make this seaside journal page.

Melting Pot Techniques

This is the class I took at The Stamp Attic which started my blogging path, it was a great class with Hels Sheridan giving us ideas on how to use the melting pot.  Stamping into the UTEE, creating flowers and dipping fabric or paper flowers.  We made wire flowers and filled them by brushing across the UTEE which was a bit tricky and took a few attempts.

Blogging at last!

Some weeks ago I took a class at The Stamp Attic and a lady asked me if I had a blog as she would like to see my work, of course I didn't so thought it about time I created one and here I am.  A place to show some of my learning adventures in scrapbooking and art.  I have been on weekend retreats and other classes since then so will post photo's as I go!
