It's 3up week on the paperartsy blog this week. There was so much artwork and creativity going on, it was hard not to pick up a paint pot and splodge away! I loved the work that Lesley Ebdon created on a framed mirror and took my inspiration from her work.
At my recent trip to Alexandra Palace, I bought a tray from the mdf man that I am going to use for my craft tools.
This was the perfect substrate to get my art on! I had fun building up the layers..
I started with a base layer of a light blue then mixed 2 further shades of blue using a cut and dry pad.
Using a Dyan Reaveley border stamp inked up with watering can archival ink I went on the inside edge of the tray, whilst that was drying I stamped some JOFY glitter and circle images into some old dictionary paper.
More JOFY stamps were used for the flowers and for effects. Once everything was dry (ish! - You know us crafters are impatient!) I added acrylic paint to accent & glued the dictionary images with gel medium.
Fab inspiration from paperartsy! Ta muchly!
