Paperartsy New Release January 2017 - Tracy Scott

Exciting times indeed!  Now, it is no secret that I have long been an admirer of Tracy Scott's journaling and art, so when Tracy contacted me and asked me to be one of her wingmen for the launch of her new stamps and paints with Paperartsy I was 100% jumping for joy!  How on earth could I not be excited about being involved in such an opportunity?

So where to start?  Leandra from Paperartsy generously supplied me with an abundance of new colours, gorgeous stamps and stencils to get crafty with.  Come with me whilst I share  my creative Paperartsy journey with these glorious new products!

First of all I started with a piece of craft card and with and old gift card I spread on some Cherry Red Paperartsy Fresco chalk paint.

Using Paperartsy Fresco Chalk paint, I went through some stencils adding the second layer to the card.

With a brayer, I lightly went over the top using the same Chalk coloured paint to knock back the red.

I repeated this with Carribean Sea and continued to build my layers using the paints and the stencils 

until I was happy with my masterboard.  I ended up making a couple like this.

I stamped on to one of the boards with the large bloom from set ETS06 and heat embossed.

I cut the flower out, I also cut out the centre, re-stamped the image onto acetate, coloured in the dotty centre with a white paint pen and replaced the centre of the bloom.

On to some masking tape, I blended Carribean Sea and Cherry Red Fresco paint and stamped the cluster of circles onto the tape.  I added some extra colour with paint pens to create my own washi tape.

Now that all my bits and pieces were made I was able to assemble and complete my Funky Flower!

Onto my next make, with all of the new colours from Tracy's new release, I  went on to make a masterboard.  Using the stencil PS052 I added Carribean Sea, bumped the image and went over with Chalk Paperartsy Fresco paint.

I  painted Paperartsy  smoothy card with Cherry Red Fresco paint and splattered with some black and white paint.  Using the Flower stamp from ETS08, I stamped, heat embossed and cut out.

I stamped again onto a  spare piece of  the masterboard, heat embossed and cut out a chosen three of the petals and the centre of the flower, leaving it in one piece and layering onto the red bloom.

I Stamped the flower stalk onto the main card and applied the colourful bloom, slightly raised from the main card.

For my third project I blended together, on some Paperartsy smoothy card, Prawn and Butternut Fresco paint. 

I cut the A4 sheet down in size to create my tag.  I stencilled with stencil PS054 with Chalk Fresco paint and also added some white & pink stamping.

I now added lots of little details using the smaller circular stamps and collaged them onto my tag.  I made the main flower out of a couple of different layers using the colours I had used for the background.

I added white doodles, stickles and pearly dots to the tag for a bit of sparkle!

I cut out my tag shape and  mounted onto black card which made the fabulous images pop out!

These are a selected few of the projects that I have shared with you tonight.  If you would like to see some more creations using these delicious stamps,  check out my Instagram page clarecraftsalot.
