This week the challenge at the Paperartsy Blog is to use Paperartsy stamps, and Fresco Paints together with metal. A great opportunity to try out the translucent paints that I ordered and received this week.
I coloured a tag with London Bus, then coated it with Crackle Glaze. Once that was dry, I put a thick layer of Baltic Blue on it. It immediately started to crackle, and some large cracks appeared. Wonderful! I love the bright red colour of the cracks.
In the bottom left corner, I played with Zesty Zing and Beach Hut. It created a nice opaque green colour, not exactly what I intended, but not too bad for a first time... The man is from the Hot Pick 1110 sheet. I first applied some Snowflake so that his face would not be too green...
The London Bridge is a stamp from Crafty Individuals, that I stamped with Stazon on metal. I then coloured the picture with Chocolate Pudding, Beach Hut, and South Pacific. I created some depth by puffing the bridge from the back.

Take a Word - Wings
This week's theme at Take a Word is WINGS. Searching my stash for anything with wings, I found a piece of BasicGrey paper with a bird. I used it as the background. The globe in the background is a stamp from Stampers Anonymous.
The lady is a chess piece stamp from Lost Coast Designs with additional dragon wings. The word "Wings" is made from metal and coloured with Paperartsy Fresco Finish paints. These paints gave a matte finish, so I sanded it a little to let the metal shine through.

Three Muses - Birds
This week's theme at the Three Muses is BIRDS OF a FEATHER. Inspired by an example in the August issue of Craft Stamper magazine, I made these three tags. The birds on the left and right tags are made from die cuts, the bird cage is a PaperArtsy stamp on metal, the woman's face is also from PaperArtsy.

Some experiments
Last June, Ineke and I attended the Artsycrafts weekend. We had lots of fun, and learned quite a few new techniques. It also inspired me to create some art pieces again.
For this tag I used Fresco Finish acrylic paints and two Hot Pick stamps. The ladies were printed on the tag.
The metal clock on this card was inspired by Linda Brown´s blog. I used Fresco Finish acrylic paints for the background and some Paperartsy stamps.
For this flower I used brown metal and Stream and Sunset Orange alcohol inks. The alcohol inks seem to hold only to the embossed parts.

Lente swap
Vandaag weer een grote uitbreiding van mijn ATC map ontvangen. Ik doe mee met ATC swaps van het forum van Joan Gevaert en van de Creative Cahos stempelgroep. Beide hadden in maart als thema Voorjaar. Hieronder de ATCs die ik ontvangen heb.
Mijn ATC heeft een metalen bloem die gekleurd is met alcohol inkten.

Playing with Viva Decor
A short description of the technique I used for these pieces. The metal piece in the middle was embossed using the Cuttlebug, and glued on a piece of chipboard. Then I applied Viva Decor Ferro paint to the chipboard around the metal. While the paint was still wet, I stamped garden and a flower (both Paperartsy) into the Ferro paint. I coloured the top half with Denim Dabber ink, and the rest with Viva Decor metal paints. This makes the stamped images pop out. The flower and jigsaw piece are stamped with Stazon on metal. The ATC I submitted for the Elements theme of Think Monday - Think ATC.

Nature ATC
Deze ATC heb ik gemaakt voor een swap. Het onderwerp van de swap was Natuur. Ik heb met alcohol inkt (Meadow en Stonewashed) een achtergrond gemaakt. De tekst is gestempeld met Stazon. De libelle is gemaakt van metaal. Gestempeld met stazon op de achterkant, daarna embossed en met zwarte dabber bewerkt. Beide stempels zijn van PaperArtsy (mini SM09).I made this ATC for a swap. The subject of the swap was Nature. I made the background with alcohol inks (Meadow and Stonewashed). The text is stamped with Stazon. The dragonfly is made of metal. I stamped it with stazon on the back, embossed it and wiped it with black Dabber. Both stamps are by PaperArtsy (mini SM09).
