This function on the PaperArtsy Weblog is the place 3 bloggers are despatched 3 objects within the submit. We have now no clue what PaperArtsy HQ goes to ship us, there may be a slight variation however usually 2 of the three issues shall be an identical. 

Often as the times shut in on the tip of a yr, I have a tendency to start out wanting ahead to the subsequent. Seeing the hearts and the harlequin stencil design had my thoughts instantly fascinated about getting a soar begin on a Valentine’s day piece.

Our most up-to-date weblog subject was ‘Gilded’, and I wished to work that into my piece. In case you are conversant in a few of my work then you’ll perceive how including a little bit of gilding to my mission isn’t uncommon for me! To problem myself, I assumed it will be enjoyable to make use of gold leafing, which isn’t a provide I sometimes use. 

For this submit at this time, I’m excited to share with you ‘My Coronary heart to Hold’, a tag ebook for love notes, that I created utilizing these “3 issues” I used to be despatched. 

I started by including some paint to a set of hardboard tags. These will function the back and front covers of my Tag Guide. I hoped to attain a extra classic look so I used a dry brush and didn’t cowl the complete floor with the PaperArtsy Fresco End paint in Sweet Floss.

After permitting the PaperArtsy Grunge Paste stencilling to dry, I added one other layer of paint.

So as to add the gold leaf, I realigned the stencil on the quilt and pounced steel leaf adhesive via the design within the areas I wished so as to add the gold leaf. I then eliminated the stencil advert positioned the sheet of gold leaf onto the adhesive, creating the sample design.

I altered a cupid that I had fussy lower from some outdated scrapbook paper. The garment was painted with PaperArtsy Fresco End Pink Lipstick. I then blended the Pink Lipstick and Sweet Floss paint colors collectively to create some gradients for the main points.

I warmth embossed “My Coronary heart” from the stamp set onto a small tag painted in Fresco End Pink Lipstick with dry brushed Sweet Floss and clipped it to the sting of the tag.

For the specialty paper inside each the back and front covers, I used the script stamp from the set and randomly stamped with embossing ink, then I warmth embossed with gold powder.

I blended the Fresco End paints to create completely different pink hues after which layered the bottom with stencilling to create lovely patterns to construct upon.

I like that I can simply add further tags to the ebook, and am wanting ahead to writing personalised notes on every of those tags for the recipient.

creatively yours,
