I'm so sorry this blog post is late going up as I've been poorly and completely out of it today. This past week has been 3Up week over on the Paper Artsy blog. This means that each night, 3 Paper Artsy fans have been showing their favourite techniques. I was absolutely delighted to be working with Gabby and Julie Ann and we quickly decided that the commonality between us was Lynne Perrella, so this was to be the link between our three projects.
We chose to use Lynne Perrella plate 030 which is the one with the lovely big collage stamp. I feel really pleased looking at the way our projects have come together that they show the versatility of this stamp, which is what we had hoped for, as we have all done something quite different. I decided to have a play with Portfolio pastels on Stampbord, which was a bit of an experiment, and you can see some of my test pieces above.
I made a quadrupe slide mailer and used some additional Lynne Perrella stamps for the images to go inside the mailer:-
It was a joy to work with Gabby and Julie Ann and I hope we will have collaborations such as these again.
I do hope you will go over to Paper Artsy to see our three projects, and once again I apologize for my completely 'lost day' today.
So sorry to hear you've been unwell (hope not the same hideous Norovirus as me!!) - and hope you are able to take some time to rest and recover. Loved this over at PA tonight - I haven't played with Portfolios, but you've definitely tempted me with this - gorgeous!

Loved your project Lucy, so sorry you've been poorly today.
ReplyDeleteOh Lucy! Being poorly is awful, but especially at this time of year! Thank you for your warmth and generosity while we were creative buddies! Loved every minute and look forward to finding an excuse to meet up soon!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous Lucy! Those bright shades work so well with the Lynne Perrella images. I love your project.

Hope you feel better today Lucy, loved your project last night - those bright colours look so good with that large collage stamp. It was lovely to see all three of you use the same stamp but in such different ways. Take care, Claire xx
ReplyDeleteHope you have recovered this morning Lucy and feeling a lot better.
ReplyDeleteLove Stampboard, love Portfolio Pastels and the LP image is the only one i like so a win win win for your project from me. Beautiful work as always Lucy:-) xxx
I adore your project Lucy!!! Thank you for all the details and tips, fantastic mailer. I take the opportunity to wish you a healthy, peaceful and very creative year 2015. Best wishes and bises from France, Coco x
ReplyDeleteThis is definitely one to try! Love the vibrancy, the stamps(of course!) and a fabulous project! Hope you had a lovely Christmas despite the bug, and wishing you the very best for 2015, Chrisx
ReplyDeleteSo sorry to hear that you've been poorly, Lucy. I loved working with you too and I want to try Portfolios with stampbord soon! Thank you also for introducing me to the slide mailer, which is such a versatile object to alter. Thank you for inspiring me to take out my Portfolios again and use them with the new discoveries of stampbord and slide mailers! What you have done on this project is gorgeous! xxx
ReplyDeleteLoved your #3UP project over the PA blog and the technique is so interesting, tThanks for sharing it with us! Hope you get better in time for the New Year festivities (or some crafting...)
