I had a big list of things to do today of the Arty variety. BUT, Michelle's posts #1 here and #2 here have really got under my skin this week. (and she still has more posting to come!), so I grabbed a journal, and thought this will only take 5 minutes, but 2 hours later...here we are... So I thought I'd quickly share with you my 5 minute experiment! First up a few torn bits of old book page, then a geometric stencil with snowflake sponged through on top. Next up mix up some Opaque sprays. 'With what' you ask? With Fresco paints of course! This is a fantastic way to use your paints. You can make it as thick or thin as you like, opaque, translucent and all the colours of the rainbow to boot. You can easily custom make colours, and you only need to make as much as you need for the job! Wicked good fun and an awesome paint effect! Put 50-75% water in a small spray bottle! add fresco paint Shake and spray! So, on top of the BG, I added a touch of Zesty Zing with a brush, just for the warmth/ contrast in a couple of spots. {I could have sprayed, but I just used my last bottle, and couldn't be bothered walking over to the white shed to get another! Lol} Next up, a spot of stamping, this time I used archival ink in Crimson and Terracotta, I didn't want black, but I did want permanent ink. Dry thoroughly. A bit of a sanding back is a good way to smooth off the book page additions, and expose the white stencil spots at this point, plus it makes for a smoother surface, which can be handy for a stamper! At this point, I was thinking this is going to be a journaling page, but...then I thought the JoFY stamps could look really awesome on this, but, if I was going to stamp on top, the BG was just a bit too bold and bright for stamped flowers to go on top, so I decided to knock it back. How do we do that fast??? With an opaque fesco paint spray, so, this time snowflake white opaque on top would soften the BG a little. I sprayed and dried twice. Now look, with the black images stamped on top, the images are not fighting with the background at all...Ohhh they look pretty Missy Jo ! I Likey very muchos!! Dry thoroughly before the next step! First up some Hey Pesto watery mix over the leaves and a few flowers. Just squirt your spray onto your craft sheet and pick up that colour. Remember the translucent paints are the great for colouring in if you still want to see the detail of the stamp, and opaque will obliterate unless you water it down with glaze or water. But how cool do they look when you add another colour! And what about the white! Don't forget to use white to colour in!!! Looks amazing! Makes bits pop. Lastly, a bit more green on the ziggy zaggy grassy bits. And one final tip. If you want your fresco art piece to look brighter, then add a coat of satin or gloss glaze. The magic paint lady tells me that our eyes perceive colour and the brightness by how it is reflected back to the eye. A chalk paint is matte, so we perceive it to be dull, but if you apply a layer of gloss glaze over the top, the reflection back to the eye is more striking, so we perceive it to be much brighter with the gloss on top. I applied gloss glaze to just the flower heads, but I didn't take a close up picture for you to be able to distinguish the difference, so you shall have to try it yourself when you get a mo. So tomorrow, another stunning post is coming from Michelle on this blog. Don't forget we really hope you find 15 minutes (or 2 hours perhaps) to play along too, and upload your piccies here using the inlinkz tool. You could win stamps of your choice! Have a go, we'd love to see! Leandra Posted with Blogsy

Hello and welcome! I'm here today with the Happy Little Stampers Clean and Simple with my design team member card for January! This month's challenge is: A great way to start out the new year with a "Friendship" creation! Our winner for this challenge will receive a $20 coupon to spend at the shop! And new this year, if the winner uses HLS stamps, the prize is doubled! There's also guest designing opportunities too! Check out all the details HERE. For my card I used stamps and dies from Wplus9's "Doodle Buds" set. I think this has been one of my all time favorite stamp sets ever! I stamped, colored with Zig Clean Color markers, water and a paint brush, and cut the flowers and leaves and adhered them to the kraft card base. Some were popped up on foam tape. I added stems and lots of sparkle with a sparkle pen, then a few Nuvo Jewel drops. Lastly I added 3 score lines to the top. I made a similar card to this last year but before I bought Nuvo Jewel drops - I like it better with the drops and I added score lines for more interest this time! Here's a few reminders for CAS creations: I hope you will have time this month to join the HLS CAS Challenge this month and thanks so much for stopping by! I will also enter this in the: CASology Encouragement Challenge #281 Shopping Our Stash Watercolor Challenge Dies R Us Challenge #88
Do you remember this tile? Probably not and that is alright. I show you so much color on a daily basis, how would you possibly remember this one? Hahahaha! I couldn’t remember how I made it although I had my guess. So I went back into the site until I found where I originally showed... Continue Reading
