' ' ' 'Crafty Endeavours: Inspired By Emma Godfrey

Monday 29 December 2014

Inspired By Emma Godfrey

When I saw Emma's project on the Paper Artsy blog,  I knew I wanted to try this. I was instantly attracted to the bright and luscious colours with the brushstrokes still in evidence.
I chose to make a book cover, a work in progress of mine that should end up being a folder for dies but started life as a Next catalogue.

I followed Emma' s step by step so won't repeat here and just show you the result below.


I used Frescos in Claret, South Pacific, Vanilla and Pansy. The script stamp (only one, unusually restrained...) is from the Paper Artsy ESN10 set and I used the reverse Chicken Wire from the Crafter's Workshop, plus a circles stencil that I die-cut with a Papertrey ink cover plate.

I made the flower from Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die, the flourish is a magazine freebie.

And if I'm not showing the spine or the back cover, this is because I haven't done either and I am reserving the right of doing a completely different design if I feel like it!
