What's going On?
Hello everyone, firstly apologies, I'm confused as to why my post did not save the content of what was written, it seems to be happening on my schedule posts but I don't know why. Be assured I'm looking into! So over to what you should have seen on the 1st of May, remember today is the 5th and so the challenge has started and there is even more inspiration on the blog.
Hello friends and followers, today starts the new the Challenge over at
Country View Crafts chosen for us by the lovely Monika and the theme is Flower Power. How appropriate for Spring, with all the new life appearing in a palette made by nature. Not forgetting of course how powerful flowers really are, with their abundance of colour, their scent, which is used in so many ways, their use in culinary delights and their healing properties of mind and body. They truely are powerful!
Enter your art inspired by the theme and you could win a £20 voucher to spend in the wonderfully stocked shop
I chose to make a large tag
Here how it came together
I created a fine crackle using Crackle Glaze painted white on top with Fresco Acrylic Paint in Chalk from Paper Artsy. The a layer of spray dyes from
Lyndys's Stamp Gang
I Stencilled the Face (I forget who the stencil is by)
Flowers from Zinski Art for Paper Artsy
Colouring in using Inktense Pencils from Derwent
I do hope you get to play along
Take care hugs Xxx
