Opposites Attract!

 Hi Everyone,

Thank you for visiting my blog today! 

I'm sharing an art journal page I created for the PaperArtsy blog - the topic is opposites attract and this topic is all to do with colour theory.  My chosen colour combo was orange and blue - which I love working with so much.

Please do pop over to the PaperArtsy blog to check out more photos of my project and also to see what colour combinations everyone else came up with!

Thanks for visiting,

My Favourite Colour

 Hi Everyone,

Thanks for stopping by today :)

The current topic over on the PaperArtsy blog is 'My Favourite Colour' and for me the colour I always reach for first when creating is definitely PINK!

I just find it so easy to work with and combine with other colours - especially orange.

So I have a post over on the PaperArtsy blog all about creating some ATCs using pink and also stamps by Tracy Scott - please do pop over and take a look.

Thanks, Claire xx

JoFY Stamps and Distress Oxides......

Hi Everyone,

Today I am sharing a birthday card created using Paperartsy JoFY stamps and distress oxide inks.  I am linking this card up to the current challenge over on the Paperartsy blog which this fortnight is all about hybrid inks.

So here is my card, it's 7x7 inch square:

I created a distress ink masterboard, which I then used for the leaves, flowers and the word 'happy'

All the stamping on the card was done with distress oxide ink except the blank ink which is versafine.

The stamps are all from the JoFY range by Paperartsy and are from sets JOFY 26, 53 and 54.

I cut out some of the additional flower elements from other sections of the masterboard to create more colour contrasts in some of the flowers.

Here are a few more photos:

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