The first challenge of 2015 over on the PaperArtsy blog is 'fragile papers'. There seems to have been a lot of interest in the new format of the challenge and I'm hoping I'll be able to join in with a few more this year. Well I love fragile papers and as you can see I've been inspired by Leandra's box canvas and just adapted what I had.
I seem to have used very similar colours, I started off with blues and greens and the intention of adding in some brown, but at some stage a touch of lilac appeared.
This is my selection of fragile papers and the piece I used is some tissue wrap form some boots of my daughters, seemed perfect for the challenge and I just scrunched it up to add some texture.
The covered 7 x 5 canvas and the painted tissue paper (which is what I wanted to have a go at). The stamps I used were EEV02/06/07/10. ELB01 & ESN10.
This was my first attempt, not sure what went wrong, but I think it's difficult to see where you've brayered when your tissue is on a craft mat and I think I just over worked it. I couldn't stamp on it but it's not going to waste because I love the distressed look of it!
The layered effect on the flower.
Some of the details.
