Texture Paste class at Scraptivate is over, I've completed 4 of the covers in the classes as well as made numerous atc's using various ways of applying texture paste. Because I do a sample of the ATC Technique Book Cover in each class, then also paint the previous dried sample, I've ended up with 4 of the Texture Paste Covers for the book. They are 6" x 8" in size and I've decided that I don't need them all so I'm going to give 2 of the new ones away.....your choice! You can use it as a cover for a book yourself or whatever you want, cut it up, wipe your feet on it, whatever! lol
All you need to do is leave a comment and I'll wait about a week before doing a random pick from the comments for the winners. Here are the new covers, (all paint by Golden Paints). Please remember to leave your email address if it's not on your blog and also remember to check back to see if you've won!
#1... (colours used are Quinacridone Nickel Azo Gold, Dioxazine Purple, Interference Oxide Green)
a close-up...
#2...(colours used are Turquois Phthalo, Quinacridone Magenta, Iridescent Silver)
a close-up...
#3...(colours used are Phthalo Green (blue shade), Turquois Phthalo, Iridescent Gold)
no close-up...Remember, all you need to do is to leave a comment below this post to have your very own miniature door-mat!!!....I mean "book cover"!!! (if you can't poke fun at yourself, how are you supposed to enjoy it when others do it!)
I also did some more atc's as samples and raffles for the classes. The effect of Glimmer Mist sprayed on dry texture paste is gorgeous, especially when the texture past doesn't cover the whole card as the card absorbs the mist differently than the non-texture pasted areas. Here are a couple of retro ones using the Glimmer Mists.
"Laser printer"... (Glimmer mist colour is Frost)
"Wisdom"... (Glimmer mist colour is Tigerlily)
"Portrait"...(using cuttlebug waste for texture paste scroll up the top)
Yesterday I had a catch-up with some of my arty friends, these are the girls who meet up (or try to!) once a month for a few entertaining hours of laughter, gossip, support and sometimes even art! We have made a committment to do better in the "art" department this year...starting with a shadow-box canvas. Anyway, for a Christmas gift swap this year we did 4"x4" mini canvases to swap. Here is the one I did that Lyn received. (I'll put up the one I received in my next post - can't find the camera.)
"Traveller"...
Lastly, here is an uncompleted 4"x4" canvas where I've used the Golden Crackle Paste over part of the canvas and just had a paint play with some greens and paynes gray. Not sure what to do with the rest of it but it'll come to me eventually. For now I'm happy just to look at the texture.

Wow Kelsey! These look great! Thanks for the opportunity to have a Kelsey Original in my collection! :)
Hope you're well!
Hi Kelsey - they're wonderful! I particularly love the green one :) I'm sorry I haven't been attending your classes - would love to, but this is not a good year for me. *Sigh* Feel like I'm missing out on heaps of fun! Bibi
Wish I could take one of your classes! I would learn soooo much.
Thanks for sharing and for the blog candy to boot!
They look really great and I am so sorry I missed your class. I hope the class pack will help me get started on creating something as nice as that. By the way how did you do the blobby stamp thingy in the 4x4" canvas and the black border. It is really lovely.
Wow! I wish I lived near you so I could have taken this class - that magenta & turquoise one is stunning!

The covers are divine Kelsey!
Memememe these are incredible and were I a lucky winner it would be the cover of my current art journal. Well, my art journal cover measures 12" x 8" but it would be THE center decoration. These are just beautiful doormats too :)
Kelsey! I have a 2009 daytimer (which I printed myself) just ready to bind, but I haven't been in a very crafty mood and I can't go around with just a black cover! LOL! So I'll be really happy if I win this one!!!!!
And if not, I'm really happy to see your eye candy!!

I looove texture paste! It's one of my fav mediums too. Gotta say I love the sharp defined lines from your stamping here, great job. I think I love the gold the best, all those warm colours, or maybe the green, no the gold, no the green, no the gold... LOL. I just love it all really!
Kelsey - I really would love one of your "floormats". If these were my floormats I could only imagine how incredibly amazing the rest of my house would look.
