About Me

My photo
I'm a retired primary school teacher, who started paper crafting in 2008, when I had a fancy to make my own Christmas cards. Since then, I have tried all sorts of techniques and styles - and I kind of like them all. I have been lucky enough to be on blog teams and large design teams and to do a bit of freelance demonstrating - and I love the challenge of working with different products. My crafting style is very varied - from junk journaling and art journaling, bookbinding and journal making, to quilting and patchwork - and of course I still make cards. This variety keeps me interested - and my crafty stash growing!! I'm always seeking inspiration for new projects.

Simply Scissors

Another day - another sample for Sue's shows on Hochanda starting this Friday at 6pm.


For this canvas, I started by painting the 10x12 canvas with white gesso, and Silver Gold, Amethyst and Dark Orchid Starlights. I added buttons to the corners of the canvas with Transparent Relief Paste, and painted over them with the gesso and Starlights.

I then applied Platinum Relief Paste through the stencil for the scissors, Linen and Lavender Shabby Chic Relief Paste for the flowers, and Dark Orchid Relief Past for the script and jewels. This took a bit of masking off, but the effort was worth it.

A background stencil and Platinum Relief Paste added the texture down the sides.

Will be back tomorrow with another.

Take care,
Cxxxx
