Helen Inspired

 Evening every one, My Twitter mate Helen, was a guest on the Paper Artsy Blog this month. She decorated a journal cover which was fabulous, take a look at hers on the PA blog. You might also like to check out what else Helen gets up to by visiting her own blog which will be a real treat.

I didn't have any journals to decorate but do need something for my downstairs loo and thought I would use an 8x8 grey whiteboard from Paper Artsy. I pretty much followed Helen to begin, but chose plum as my colour, and that's where the detour began. I felt that this would be too dark so gave it another coat of chalk fresco finish acrylic paint.

I then used Amythest 

Then the central feature

I used tinned pea and then chartuse I then chalk for highlights. I outlined the feature flowers in black pen and then added some deep purple inktense pencil to areas for shadow. I felt the background flowers were still to dark so added white Caron D'Ache  water soluable crayon. I finished the picture with some doodles.

I loved doing this so thank you Helen for great inspiration. 

Thanks for the visit
