Bag It

Bag It

Hi Everyone!

Hope you're having a

good day.  I'm hoping 

for a seriously good

crafting day -  I see the

UFO's are settling back

into my Craft Room and

we can't have that..........

Helen Chilton is back with

us today and oh my, does

she have a super fabulous 

project to share using a 

Kraft bag and Kay Carley's

new PaperArtsy stamps.

"Step 1

I'm cutting out a window in one side

of the Kraft bag using a 

Sizzix Framelit (any shape) and I've put in 

the long thin plate to cut on

Step 2

If you haven't got this type of plate 

just put your die on the inside of the bag, 

cutting side downwards - a bit more fiddly, 

but it still works.

Step 3: 

Next stamp your images from Kay Carley 

sets 05, 06 and 07

Step 4: 

Paint them in using Frescos, going over the lines.

Step 5: 

Then add some South Pacific blue 

and give shape to the flowers in white.

Step 6: 

You can see here how the white paint gives the flower form.

Step 7: 

Paint the spikey flower in Pixie Dust going 

over the black again.

Step 8: 

Add extra colour with coloured pencils 

and then highlights and shading.

Step 9: 

Cut acetate to fit the window, mask 

and start stamping in black.

Step 10: 

Here's a close up - I've stamped the first few 

in grey and then stamped over the top 

in black to add depth.

Here's the back"

Materials used:

PaperArtsy Kay Carley 05, 06, 07
Fresco paints
Derwent Coloursoft pencils
Acetate
Kraft bag

Thank you Helen for a beautiful

project.  

This would make a lovely present

filled with toiletries or a maybe a

selection of seed bags for a gardener.

What would you put in it?

'Till tomorrow
