New Zinkski Stamps at PaperArtsy

Hello everyone,

Last Saturday I had the honour to be featured on the Paper Artsy blog with some samples I made for the new release of Elana Guzinska's Zinski Art. I had fun making loads of different samples and today I will show you what I made.

These sheep are my absolute favourite ! I combined them with small stamps from the other stamp sets. 

A tag with one the of baking themed Zini's. 

The potty baker on a tag...

More baking ! on a gelli print. 

Love the lovebirds on a background made with Infusions. 

Another tag with 2 of the new Zini's, also on a gelli print. 

Love this one, gelli printed background with a sheep..

Really love these sheep. CaS coloured with Copic markers. 

Another gelli printed background for these guys.. 

These are chatting ! Copic coloured images on gelli prints. 

I stamped these guys on gessoed book paper and then adhered them to an Infusion background on which I stencilled with gesso. 

And a set of 4 twinchies with my favourite sheep ! All done with Copics. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. 

Monsters just want to have fun

Hello everyone,

Every month I try and take part in the UK Stampers Forum's tag and postcard swaps. I have finished mine for August and these are them :

The theme for the tag was 'anything goes'. Have used one of my faves Zini's by PaperArtsy on a background of Distress Oxide Inks. 

The theme for the postcard swap was 'buildings' so I used this fab stamp by Lost Coast Designs on a gelli printed background. 

If you like swapping stuff then the UK Stampers Forum FB page is the place to go ! 

Thank you for stopping by today ! 

It wasn't me

Hello everyone,

It is August 1st and that means a new Challenge over at Country View Challenges.. and this month it is me who set the theme ! Yay ! I chose blues and greens as this is one of my favourite colour combinations. I hope you will play along with us. You might just win a GBP 20,- voucher to spend in the shop ! Just make sure to read the rules HERE.

I made a postcard:

And here's how I made it :

I stamped this fabulous little character on Neenah white smooth card stock with black Memento Ink. 

Next I coloured him with my favourite colouring medium : Copic Markers. 

This is the background I chose.. the blue at the top is a little more turquoise in real life but I find blues and greens difficult to photograph.. It is a gelli print. I always have stacks in stock because it makes my life a lot easier.. 

I have cut him out and you can probably see that you loose a lot of the fine details like eyelashes and hairs. To get around this I simply stamp the image again directly on my card. 

I used Archival Ink because my background is acrylic paint. 

I didn't stamp his feet because there is grass either side which I didn't want. I did manage to stamp him slightly crooked ! lol 

And here is the finished card. The little monster and the sentiment are both rubber-stamps by PaperArtsy designed by Elena Guzinksa. They are sold under the name Zinski Art and I think they are fabulous ! 

Thank you for stopping by today !

Naughty but nice

Hello everyone,

I had a quick play today. Just for me.. so much fun ! I used a Gelli Print made with PaperArtsy Chalk Acrylics and all PaperArtsy stamps.

I took lots of stamped and digital images on holiday and did a lot of colouring with my beloved Copic Markers. This little dude is one of them. So I made a gelli print, and added some stamping and some white embossing. When I was happy I glued him in place on top of some washi tape and added the sentiment and some doodling with a white pen along the edges.

That was it ! 

Thanks for stopping by today ! 

Three Monster Dwellings

Hello everyone,

I was so very happy when I heard I would get the opportunity to make a project with the brand-new PaperArtsy Stamps designed by Elena Guzinska. There is nice post over at the PaperArtsy BLOG today too.

I have made this :

It was so much fun making these little houses out of grey board. I painted them with Fresco Acrylic paints and then stamped them. The little people were stamped separately, coloured and glued into place.

This one is the only one that has a little monster on the back as well as the front:
