Paintchip Scraplings


I have made these for a swap on the gingersnap yahoo group. if you are interested in taking part the details are here.
I have used 11 different stamps to make these and they are all taken from the new Hotpicks range at PaperArtsy.

I trimmed my paintchips so that the names of the paints are left on, as I really like the names.
like this first one "gipsy bloom"

on"heather bloom" I used the film frame and masked it so I could stamp part of the eiffel tower picture inside it. I also distressd the edges of the paint chip with my scissors.

then there's "fragrant cloud"

and "cracked clay"
