Sssshhhh! Artist at work

I am often heard praising people when they use bright colours, I am often nervous of using them myself and I know others are as well. I am in awe of people like Marieke from the colour your world blog. Who can use bright colours with ease. She inspired me to start to use some really bright colours. This lo was such fun to do and I really enjoyed working with the primary colours in these BG Cupcake papers.

Don't get me wrong, I have used bright colours before, if it works for a picture but prior to finding Marieke's blog, I would avoid them if possible. Now I am going to embrace them in all thier glory. So thank you Marieke you have been a great inspiration.
I am not often a fan of epoxy stickers these days, however I think these paint splats worked a treat.

MY friend Emma, say's "when it comes to scrapping you are a total perfectionist and everything has to be neat!", so I let myself go a little and just splatted the primary paints on these bazzill white chipboard letters.

HOWEVER!! It turns out, Emma was right and I found myself drawing round the edges in black pen, I told Mum it was because it made them stand out (which it does!) but truth be told I wanted to make the edges neat lol. It will take a wee while for me to really embrace those things but I will try lol.

The pictures are of Emma and Ethan having a day of painting when they were living with me last year. Great memories.

Have a good evening all. xxxx
