PaperArtsy Launch Samples

Yesterday PaperArtsy featured new stamps sets by Elizabeth Borer. 
When Liz asked me to be one of her "wingmen" and produce four samples
for this launch I was both excited to be asked and panic-stricken in
equal measure.  Liz's stamps are gorgeous but very different from
my usual style.  I hope I have managed to do justice to them.
Check out PaperArtsy blog where you will see all Liz's
amazing artwork plus a video by Leandra featuring
her artwork and samples.
 
Here is my first sample. I used Fresco paints and matt glaze for and around
the image.  For the background I used a purple paint through a stencil over a
brayered background.  For the larger background I used the ribbon
swirl stamp over soft flower stamped images.
 
 
 
 
The Second sample from the same stamp set. I wanted to keep the image as the
focal point and used the other stamps from the set to highlight this.

We are lucky enough to have Liz as a member of our craft club, so
wish her huge success with her new stamp launch.
