Paint Fusion meets...

Here's 2 more cards made with the paint fusion technique.

This first card uses the leaves and blossom stamps from the 'Berries' stamp plate, which I stamped onto Neenah card and painted with acrylics. However, I've used Yellow Cosmic Shimmer paint on the centre of the flowers (as I have no yellow acrylic paint yet!)
I then stamped the Crafters Companion 'Candyfloss' flower fairy and the matching corner stamp, both were coloured with ProMarkers. I then made this into an acetate fronted card and added sentiment and peeloffs.

The second card uses the 'Daisy' stamps onto watercolour card and painted with acrylics. I also stamped the statue image from Creative Expressions stamp plate 'Lost Garden' and watercoloured with Brushmarker pens. I then repeatedly stamped and embossed the Ivy stamp from the same collection around the top of the card to finish the 'scene'. Tumbled Glass distress ink was also added around the edge and into the image .

Spring - paint fusion

I've used the blossom stamp and leaves from the berries stamp plate and painted them in acrylics as per the 'paint fusion' technique, with the exception of using yellow and copper stardust pens in the centre of the flowers, as I don't have any Yellow yet! The base of the easel uses some backing paper from Joanna Sheen Jayne Netley Meyhew part 2 cd rom and border form Crafters Companion Mrs Tigglewinkle cd.
