Inspired...

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!

JOFY scrapbooking!

There are not many times that I would solely use stamps on a layout for scrapbooking.  But my friend Karen showed me an example on the Paperartsy blog using JOFY stamps, but also laying it out in a project life styley!

So at our crop we go to, we set ourselves a mission to finish a layout!

It was great fun getting messy and laying out each rectangle to make a larger picture.

I finished off by stamping the title and the journaling too.

Looking forward to our next challenge Karen!
