A Whiter Shade of Pale - PaperArtsy Shades of White Lynne Perrella

 


I'm delighted to have a post over on the PaperArtsy Blog for the Shades of White challenge, using my favourite Lynne Perrella stamps. This will be my last post for PaperArtsy. I've been associated with them for such a long time, and it's been wonderful! The stamps and paints and stencils are second to none and I know I will always use them. I demoed for Leandra a few times at Ally Pally which I enjoyed so, so much, and I have made some wonderful friends who I hope I will keep always. But it takes a surprisingly long time to do the projects and the posts and, after so long, there are lots of other things I wanted to do, so with the business moving to France, it seemed like the right time to make the break. I'm excited to see what France has in store for PaperArtsy, or is it the other way around! I hope Leandra makes some time to eat some gorgeous food!

A New Way With Octopi! PaperArtsy Under the Sea with Eclectica Zinski Stamps

I do hope you are all staying safe and well during this difficult and challenging time. I have been finding crafting a huge source of comfort and distraction. Tonight I have a project over on the PaperArtsy blog, and I have tried to make something on this occasion that would suit families self-isolating together, as well as regulars to working with PaperArtsy products and mixed media. Maybe you don't have many products or are finding it difficult to get hold of craft materials whilst the shops are closed, or your budget is limited.


I have made some suggestions for alternative products you can use in conjunction with the Zinski fish stamps. I love the PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paints, which dry so quickly and are so easy to work with, but you can use any paints you have to hand. If you are new to this type of project please ask me here or on the PaperArtsy blog, or ask any member of the blogging team. But most of all, I hope you get lost in the crafting process and enjoy it!

A Case for Mr Magoo - Ink and the Dog for PaperArtsy


The current topic over on the PaperArtsy blog is Eyes. Such a great topic! I am very pleased to have a project over there if you care to look, and leave a comment either there or on here - thank you so much! I have made a soft glasses case using Vintage Ink and the Dog stamps and Fresco Finish paints. I find 'hard' glasses cases take up a lot of space in my handbag so I like this type of case and am already using this all the time. I do hope you like it!
