Brayered Canvas Notebook Covers with Fresco Paints - Paper Artsy Challenge


The PaperArtsy challenge theme at the moment is to use Fresco Finish paint. I decided to use Leandra and Ellen's brayering technique on sheets of canvas which gave a lovely texture. I then used the sheets to cover some notebooks and stamped some Lin Brown flower stamps using some of the new colours of Fresco paint. I used Banana, Tangerine Twist, Bougainvillea, Lavender, and Prawn. Totally love all the new colours and it's been great fun to at last have a play with them!

I will definitely brayer onto canvas again. IRL the texture and the way it takes the paint is great.

I am entering the PaperArtsy paint challenge which is here.

  1. Canvas makes for great covers, more tactile than paper and more luxurious. Beautiful!

  6. Oh wow wow wow these are super gorgeous, I really love the colours you have used. I still have my notebook that I use for designs that I made when France Papillon was designing on the PA blog. Love yours though, the colours certainly make the dreary weather seem bearable lol. Happy Art :-) Kezzy xxx
