Inspired by Michelle Webb

For my entry for the Paper Artsy challenge I took a little bit of inspiration from 2 of Michelle's projects: Fragile Hearts and Old Door. I didn't go as far as Michelle with the stencils and I didn't apply white on top of the stencilled areas, but I stayed with her choice of green because I tend not to use green (not my favorite colour by far !) and I need to get out of a rut...
You will have to forgive the lighting, but the weather is miserable and I don't have my usual camera.


For stencils I used sequin waste in 2 sizes and a Chickenwire template (Crafter's Workshop).
The stamps are from Hotpicks 1207 (the girls) and 1204 (sentiment, dot texture).

Not sure if I like it but hey it's a learning experience, so honest opinions please...

  1. I like this, the bright green with the browns and hint of red work together. It is good to use a colour you don't usually go for helps spark the imagination, I find pink difficult.

  2. It's good to get out of our comfort zone sometimes, isn't it?

  3. Moi je trouve ton fond très chouette, même si le vert n'est pas vraiment ma couleur favorite non plus ! J'adore tes masks... Je serais peut-être allée juste encore plus loin, mais je ne sais pas dans quelle direction ! :) En tout cas j'aime bien, c'est joli sincèrement je trouve !! Bises

  7. I really like it! Lovely colours, and the stamped image goes so well with the sentiment too. Love the dots inside the circles too. Michelle xx
