Fragile Papers

This is the theme for the first Paper Artsy challenge of the year. Leandra showed in her video the many papers she had that fit the theme and I must admit to own most of them as well! I HAD to enter the challenge just to use a few....

They were some great artwork shown in the blog and my page has been inspired loosely by Kate Yetter in this post as well as Leandra's video.

At first things went well and I was happy with my background stencilled in gesso and overlaid with water and Brushos :


Then I got carried away and lost control of the piece, which looks a bit like a dog's dinner... Never mind I'll do better next time.
To my stained glass window I added the papers, added texture paste through another stencil, stamped small dots (EEV06), applied Gelatos (streaks left, top and in 3 corners). I added 3 roses made out of tissue paper, leaves and a piece of muslin. I decided to add some Fresco paints on the muslin and roses.

The main image is from Hot Pick 1207 and I have left it without colours as if it was a black and white photo.
I am also entering the Craft Stamper challenge.
Thanks for coming by,

    I actually think all the layers make for a very interesting piece with lots of different textures and you see something different every time! :D

    I think it's great - there is so much going on and I love the stencil with the effect of the brushos - the central image is cool too!

    I too think this is really interesting with all the layers! I love how you added texture and also kept the image just black and white. xx

    I have trouble controlling my brushos so I think you did great! Your central image is perfect in black and white

    What a wonderful fusion of colours Christine, a beautiful creation. I am certainly loving my Brusho's, so pleased I went for them,

    Ah ah ah, tu m'as fait rire hihi!!! :) Alors pour être tout à fait honnête et comme on commence à bien se connaitre, et que c'est très chouette, je vais te dire ce que je pense de cette création. Je trouve ton pochoir et la mise en place de tes éléments vraiment superbe, ainsi que tes petites fleurs fait-main, etc. Par contre je trouve qu'en effet ton association de couleurs n'est pas top, en tout cas pas la plus jolie vue chez toi.. Mais en même temps, c'est vrai que tu as cherché à t'inspirer de Kate Yetter (suis pas fan fan moi..) donc ça peut être un parti pris Lol! Bravo en tout cas pour ce bel essai, plutôt chouette quand même, et qui mériterait d'être examiné de plus près.. :D Bisous

    This is very pretty - not a dogs dinner at all! Love the brusho background - and the main black and white hot pick image looks fab left as it is against the colourful background. Claire x

    definitely not a dogs dinner - us crafters are always so self critical - love the idea of the stained glass window xx
