Just Create by Helen Chilton

I'm using some of the new ABStudio papers this week to create a piece of wall art.

I've used the Behind Closed Doors collection with a journal page as my base - I like the little tabs on these.

Choose your paper and stick it on.

Then I got out the clay and a Prima mould...

...to make this face:

The tag is cut from another page and then I added some colouring to tone it all in.

The Autumn Gold spray matched some of the colour on the tag exactly so I added a few blobs: 

Then I stamped this script over the top in grey:

I used both small and large brickwork stencils to tie in with the building image:

Finally I painted the face and then rubbed some walnut crystals and spray over both the face and the bricks:

Supplies:

I like working with scrapbook papers: they give you a starting point as regards colour and design. These ABStudio papers are really good quality and are a mixture of full page designs, smaller elements and text, so a great selection.

Hope you enjoyed this project.
