foil

It does not show well on the picture but if you look closely at the circle you'll see foil that I added and glued to balance the  text embossed with silver pearl powder. I also played with ink and gesso.
Challenge WOW (foil & embossing)

Brusho (2)

Still experimenting with my brushos, this is another great technique to try. I learned it from Helen on the Paper Artsy blog. I used the wet solid maple leaf from the Letter Plate 4  on the brushos. There was maybe too much contrast between the 2 colors but it is worth trying.

Toujours en phase experimentation avec mes brushos, une autre technique à essayer. Je l'ai apprise de Helen sur le blog Paper Artsy. J'ai apliqué le tampon humide de la feuille d'erable sur les brushos. Il y avait peut-être trop de contraste entre les 2 couleurs mais ça vaut la peine d'essayer.

Brusho (1)

I have already used brusho's but the recent articles on the Paper Artsy blog opens new possibilities to experiment. I was inspired by Sam's post and placed a stencil on my tag, added some brusho and used a mister to dilute the pigments with water. (stamps PPA Eclectica ESN06, PPA BG1)

New collection

Makeover

The idea of the makeover challenge on the Hero Arts blog is to give an old project a makeover. I chose a card that I created some time ago and use the same colors and the same sketch but I added heat embossing with white powder. Both stamps are by Hero Arts (Anything can happen, Large open flower GC249).

C'est la rentrée...

 et puis j'avais envie d'utiliser le papier com.16 que je viens de recevoir... et hop 2 petits carnets, un moleskine et un carnet sur mesure pour mon planning.
 tout ceci inspire du challenge cartoscrap avec les consignes de la rentrée (etiquette, agrafes, oeillet et taches pour le 1er, etiquette et taches pour le 2e)
