Pink and orange at paperartsy

Hello lovelies! Well its been a busy week and I have yet another post for you today - this time - nothing to do with DT work - just playtime. The first theme over the at Paperartsy this year is pink and orange ... I just had to join in! I got my journal out and had a painty play!


I had so much fun making the background. I used fresco paints and layered them up with a brayer. Sherbet and candy floss and tangerine twist and tango plus prawn were the paints used. I also used snowflake paint and one of the new stencils. 


The stencilling shows up nicely here - there are some elenazinski stamps in here too...


More stencilling ....


these characters are such fun!

I was inspired particularly by the post pocket-letters-by-wendy-mallas in making this - although of course mine is a journal page rather than ATCs!
