Inspired By:

This past week over on the Paper Artsy Blog the very talented Helen Chilton is the guest designer.
My piece was inspired by a mix of day #2 and #4's projects.
I have had my portfolio's for some time and they were kinda unloved so it was lots of fun to get them out again and use them in ways i've not tried before.

 I loved the scratchy background and combined it with the stamped image/scratch highlighting, and a bit of light text stamping.

The whole piece is on one of the cool paper substrate hanging thingys.
I think I might just have a play in my journal with the same technique as it was lots of fun.
Till next time, Stay Inky

Playing with Portfolio's

Just wanted to share a little tag I made playing with my portfolio's.
I've not really worked that much with water soluble oil pastels before so had no clue what I was doing.. I was literally just playing and this is the result of that play.

 I swooshed several colours down on the tag then squirted with some water, I blended it with my fingers. I then ran a red colour round the edge creating a border.

I used the set of paper artsy stamps I received as my sub gift from craft stamper, I stamped the flower with black archival and then layered a bit of colour on top again with the pastels.

For the moth I blended a couple of blues on some pearlescent cardstock, I then stamped the image, cut out and used a pokey tool to etch away some lines in the pastel, giving a bit of definition to the wings.

 Not really sure if I like what I made but hay..I had a play and had fun doing it so that's all that matters.
Before I go..
It's my 5th and final share of the month over on the Snazzy's DT today
here's a wee peaky.. why not hop over to see the whole thing, i'd really appreciate it xx

 There will be a challenge happening over on the Snazzy's blog at the end of the month so watch out for that, lets just say if you like Darkroom Door, you'll want to play along.
