Challenged by Liz Borer

It's Liz's turn this week to inspire us on the Paper Artsy blog. I took my inspiration from her second project and picked out the cling film method for the background as well as the cord "frame" and embossed metal .


On top of the painted board, I applied texture paste using a Prima mask... I went overboard with the texture paste because it's so much fun I couldn't stop myself! As a result, I ended up with very small areas to stamp onto, so I used a dinky one from  ESN07 as a filler.
The main image (chosen for its size!) is from Hot Pick 1201, inked with water based markers. I created a mat for it with a die-cut and embossed piece of metal, which I painted with Fresco South Pacific, rubbing the top to get back to the metal.

The clock embellishment is a bottle cap, in which I poured gold UTEE and impressed a clock stamp into.

I am also entering the Pan Pastel UK challenge.

Thanks for coming by,

    Great design, I love all the texture in the background. The little clock embellishment is really cool too; UTEE is on my shopping list as I tried it recently at a friend's and it's lots of fun!

    Fabulous texture - as far as I'm concerned you can never have too much! Glorious vivid colours and, like Julie Ann, I love the bottle top. I just popped over to say thank you so much for your lovely words on my PaperArtsy creations earlier this month - so much appreciated. Sorry it's taken me so long to catch up!

    C'est super beau !!! Ta texture avec ce mask est très belle, et tes embellissements en métal extra aussi... Bravo Christine, bonne chance pour les deux challenges. J'aimerais bien avoir le temps de participer à celui de PA moi aussi de temps en temps, mais ça va trop vite à chaque fois !... Bisous, bon dimanche
