Purple journal

This is my post. The best colour in the whole world is the one that looks good on you. I recently attended a Kate Crane workshop where we made some brayered backgrounds. I had previously attended a whimsical faces workshop and combined the two to make this journal page. I used acrylic paints and stamps and some gelli prints for the dress.

Box clever

 I bought a very cheap little wooden box for £1 that had three drawers. I wanted it to tone in with the other boxes on my desk so I painted it with warm white acryllic pain and then used a Tim Holtz stencil flourish and Victorian Velvet Tim Holtz distress ink to decorate the sides and top. I added some die cut butterflies with gems for centres and made some roses and leaves - just wanted to keep it simple.

Paint pot

Here is my paint brush pot that I made out of a cocoa tin. I started with covering it with gesso, added Paper Artsy chalk paint, them added pink tissue paper and finally added one ply of a pretty cocktail napkin, all sealed with PVA glue and a final layer of gesso to tone down the darker purple. I then made a cluster of Prima paper roses on a white leaf, one large lilac rose, one smaller purple one, a white one and a very small green bud with a couple of pearl trims.
