Well I thought today that I'd show you one way to use those pieces of mopping up card. What I used: Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays: Afternoon Delight Denim, Passionate Plum and... Read more →

Uh oh - I think I'm in love with another technique! You've all seen me use salt on projects before to achieve unique patterns, like my yummy textured mixed media background. Well today I'm using a similar process to add a pattern and texture to make a faux copper verdigris patina created with Lindy's Stamp Gang Products. I think I've hit the product combination spot on to create a realistic faux version of verdigris - have a look and let... Read more →

OK those of you who have been following for a while will already know about my complete love and adoration, with a mightly dose of respect and gratitude for what she does - aimed squarely at Jane Davenport. If I hadn't met Jane at the Brisbane Scrapbooking and Papercraft Expo a few years ago I probably wouldn't have started drawing, she literally changed the course of my life! Since then I've enrolled in pretty much every online course she has... Read more →

Hi All - I've been invited to play along to launch the gorgeous (and very useful) Petite Faces series of stencils created by the even more gorgeous Jane Davenport and manufactured by the Artist Cellar.

Today I will be showing you how to create your own masks and stencils to use with Copic markers and the Copic airbrush. I will be using plain acetate sheets, a wonderful low-tac product called Mask It (from X-Press It) and to finish I will be using lace or grandma's old doilies laying forgotten in the linen press (don't tell my Mum)! What I used: Clear Acetate sheets X-Press It Blending Journal or X-Press It Blending Card Copic Sketch markers... Read more →
