The Octopode Factory Friday Challenge

Hi Everyone

The challenge over at The Octopode Factory Friday Challenge this time around is 'Boys'

To see all the details for the challenge please click HERE

Here is my project to join in with the challenge:


I used a 6x6 piece of mount board and a baby wipe to paint the mount board with three different colours of acrylic paint.
I then stamped with black archival down the left side with a clarity stamp and doodled inside the stripes to give a 'zentangle' type look.
I then used some Tim Holtz music tissue paper on the background and used some stencil waste with yellow ocher acrylic.
I printed out the Andy Warhol image from The Octopode Factory and coloured him using water soluble crayons, I fussy cut him and added him to the mount board.

I'm hoping to do a whole series of these, this one is the first, and then punch holes in the side and create a book out of them by adding jump rings - well that's the plan anyway!!

I would also like to enter my mount board project into the Anything Goes challenge over at Anything But A Card - all the challenge details can be found HERE 

Thanks for stopping by my blog today, please feel free to leave me a comment so I know you dropped by :)

    Love this project - that Zentagling is amazing. Must try the baby wipe and acrylic paint technique you used on the background. Can't wait to see the rest of the series. Thanks for joining us at Anything But A Card this time.

    Hi Claire, just trying to catch up with my comments. I'm sorry to be so late arriving! Your background on this tag is fab and that character is so cool (as my daughter would say!).

    A great little page. I love the effect of using a baby wipe to apply the acrylic paint. I too love making little pages like this. Much better than cards ;-). Thanks for joining us at the octopode factory challenge x
