Summertime at Country View Crafts

Hello lovelies! Well here I am today with the second of my posts for CVC this month - the theme is summertime and I have used lots of lovely Paperartsy goodies in my second make. Can't get enough of the beautiful Lin Brown stamps. In todays project I used two main stamp sets elb24 - sunflower and elb22 teasel. I started with three MDF hearts and painted them with fresco-finish-chalk-acrylic-paints jade.


It looks very blue in this picture against the black but trust me it is jade! Then I started stencilling with snowflake paint. I used different stencils on each heart.


On the first one I used the -jofy-ps007 stencil. I stamped the sunflower in red archival on card then painted with -tango fresco paint.  I fussy cut and added to the hanging. I also stamped with some of the smaller stamps from the set to build up the background. The sentiment came from the teasel set.


On this one I used the stencil-elb-ps002 and some smaller stamps and painted with both the bougainvillia paint and the wisteria paint. 


The final part uses the stencil-elb-ps004. and the paints zesty-zing and banana. 

I hope you can join is in the wonderful summertime challenge over at countryviewchallenges.
