SPA - Sepia

It's been a while since I entered the Sunday Postcard Art challenge, the latest theme has been chosen by Rosie and she has chosen Sepia.

I started by gluing some gauze to the card and then gave it a coat of gesso. I put some acrylic ink at the top of the card and sprayed with water so that I could let the ink run down the card - I used three colours and dried each colour before adding the next one. I added some script and white splatters. The flower [Stampers Anonymous] was stamped onto white card, coloured with distress ink, cut out and glued to the card, I also stapled the stem. The words [Paperartsy] were stamped onto white card and cut out.

Thank you for dropping by.

SPA - Wizards

Good morning everyone, I hope you are having a lovely weekend.

I'm very pleased to be hosting this weeks Sunday Postcard Art challenge, the theme I have chosen is Wizards.

I used a couple of That's Crafty dinky stencils with modelling paste for the wall then I glued some gauze to the bottom half. I painted the card with gesso. I coloured the background with Daler Rowney and Magic Color Artist Acrylic Ink. I stamped and coloured the images with felt tips and coloured pencils. I cut out the images and glued them to the card.

The stamps I used are

Stamps Happen - the wizard.

Hampton Art Stamps - bottle.

Stampers Anonymous/Tim Holtz - label, skull and bat.

Cherry Pie Art Stamp - candle.

Thank you for looking, enjoy the rest of the weekend.
