A few more pieces...

Here are a few more creations using the new Paperbag Studios 'Flourish' plate that was released this week (see post before this).

This first piece was created using a smooth white domino. A gorgeous surface to work onto. Perfect for fine detail stamping.



This second piece was my first attempt at what I call a cheating grid effect (cheating in the sense that I made the three central panels THEN chopped it up (not mask areas as one would expect). The branches are a combination of paint being blown with a straw and rubons.



This is a Stampbord ATC hanging panel. Again, as with the domino, I LOVE super smooth chalky silk surfaces to work onto



Here the stamp image has been totally chopped and changed to create a 3D style slidemailer. The text on the left is random stamping from the text area of the stamp and the butterfly makes a double appearance. I think I got away with the rub on word Honor being spelt in the American way as the stamp company is from the States.:0)

    The raven piece is absolutely stunning, and for me is the most striking piece of the whole collection. It is full of mystery.

    Fab work, Jo.

    Beautiful work using the Paperbag Studios stamps! Welcome on as a designer. This is my second go around and think it is a great challenge to use the stamps creatively. Looking forward to seeing more examples!
