PAPER ARTSY GUEST DESIGNER - WHAT THREE THINGS

I was delighted to be contacted by Paper Artsy to be one of their Guest Designers for their What 3 Things slot.  How exciting - I had to say yes.  You can see my full piece on the Paper Artsy web site but here is a short snippet of what I received and what I created.

What 3 Things - Fiona Whitehead 

For this challenge, PaperArtsy sends the same three items to 3 people from our blogging team. It is really interesting to see how each maker comes up with different ideas and techniques with the same 3 items.  Typically we will receive a stamp, a stencil and a colour product. We have no clue what PaperArtsy HQ is going to send, the whole idea is to do something crafty in our personal style restricted to these 3 items.

I received these three things - I received this delightful set by Sara Naumann ESN39, a Paper Artsy Stencil by Sara also PS203 and Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylic in Wisteria opaque.  

I was intrigued by that Wisteria paint - that's not a colour that's really in my colour palette and teaming it with a Christmas theme was indeed a challenge.  But I ended up loving the colour and will definitely combine it with other colours in the future.

To see my whole process do pop over to Paper Artsy - especially as I had such fun with that stencil and created quite a few backgrounds to play with.  

Here's my finished card for the blog -  I love how that Wisteria colour looks - a cool shimmer for a winter's day.  I have created more projects with these 3 things and will show them on here at a later date.

I'm adding this into the following:
