Our first Paint Entries!

Hello stampers!

I have lots of lovely painty goodness to share with you today!!

First we have this card that was sent in by Ellie Knoll from The Netherlands:

And here is a close up:

Ellie has written a tutorial on her blog about the technique she used for this card. Check it out here.

Great work Ellie!

Next we have a scrapbooking layout that was sent in by Emily Pearce:

Emily says:

"I scraped red paint around the edges of my layout with a piece of cardstock, then a sprayed a bit of glimmer mist. Once it dried I got out all my "boy stamps" and stamped over the paint".

Awesome work Emily! So great to see a scrapbook page here!

Next up we have an altered notebook by Lynne Quinn:

Lynne says:

"For my plastic covered note book I masked off an area for painting then added 2 coats of luminere paint. I then dabbed 3 more colours of the same same paint, stuck down girl with Liquitex, and added words and roses. I then sealed again with Liquitex".

"The name "Lynne" is a word stamp that I had made".

Lovely work Lynne!

Lastly for today we have some altered bags that were created by Giovanna from Italy:

Gio says:

"For this project I altered two little bags with paint, used colour catchers and lots of stamping. I painted the bags with red and teal acrylic colors. I stamped with a swirl background stamp with gesso from Aladine".

"I put together four colour catchers and I started to stamp on them with different rubber stamps:
the clock and the dressform with staz-on, the flower from Stampinback with some gesso".

"I cut the colour catchers into little squares. I opened up the bags and sewed three squares on every bag, and I added some micro beads".

You can see step by step photos on Giovanna's blog here.

Great work Gio! 

Wow - what a very different bunch of projects! I just love seeing all the different interpretations of the challenges! You guys rock!

Stay inky!
