Frosted Film and Clearly For Art Flowers

 
 
 
Hiya
 
I promised myself I would be a better blogger, so check me out, blogging again so soon.
 
 
My reason for starting to blog nearly 2 years ago was to enter more challenges and be more confident in my art.  Somehow life has got in the way of me keeping that promise.........................BUT I vow to change that and do better.
 
Tim Holtz and Wendy Vecchi, two of my favourite designers collaborated in combining two of their own products Frosted Film (TH) and Clearly for Art (WV)  and they both shared their results on the 1st December.  I was blown away with the results.  I needed to make a few festive art décor projects for our temporary home, as all of my Christmas décor is in storage along with 75 % of our belongs.
 
I knew I had some CFA and FF somewhere in the stash I brought with me to the new home.  So with a bit of hunting I tracked down both products.  Unfortunately I only have the white CFA so my take on Tim's  flowers has come out slightly different, but pretty stunning none the less. 
 
When I am in a creative block I always revert to paper blocking, I love it, there is no right or wrong, you just do it.
 
I am going to enter this art project in 12 Tags of 2013.  Now I know technically it isn't a tag, but I  did use a tag for the stamped verse, so not going to Freak my Freak, its creative and uses the technique, so it fits........................................

  2. The effect on the white CfA looks amazing, the colour is so rich. Your paper blocking looks beautiful too on your wonderful canvas. xx
