Fresco Overload!

Sorry you've not seen alot of blog action so far this year.. But i've been having far to much fun actually playing with my supplies, not just looking at them.
My latest flavour of the month {well the past few months to be honest} is Paper Artsy's yummy Fresco chalk paints and Treasured gold waxes.
So when I saw on the PA blog that there was a challenge I lept into action with my PA supplies...
This was the first thing I made:

 I used the fab fresco crackle which gives amazing effects.
Did a bit of stamping using the 'swirls & curls 2' and 'squiggly ink mini', I coloured in the dragonflies with some ruby treasured gold.

And finished with little metal feet and some pretty dotty paper to finish the inside.

When I went back to see about linking my project I actually took a moment to READ the post and it it would seem I got a little too carried away..
In all the excitement of hearing PA had taken on my buddy Gillian and them having new Guest Designer slots I missed 1 crucial detail... My challenge piece was s'posed to be 'inspired' by Michelle, the first Guest Designer.. Oops!!
Not to worry though, It just gave me a chance to get out my PA supplies all over again and play some more..
This time I made a tag...

I did try altering a little gift bag with the same colours Michelle used for her first piece but with disastrous effects, so I changed up the colours and went back to basic with a tag and was much happier with the results. I used one of the stamp and die sets, stamping on the tag, then die cutting and stamping on plastic packaging to give more interest.

Well done if you made it to the end of today's post, Next time i'll try and read what i'm doing and not let myself get caught up in the moment!! {although it's not a bad thing}
Thanks for stopping by and All the best to Gillian and all the guest designers, I look forward to viewing all the lovely things i'm sure are to come.
Stay Inky
