Hi everyone, Darcy here. While messing around with my paints today I decided that I really needed a colour chart. Once finished I was really pleased with it and thought you might like to make one for yourselves. I started out by creating a table, just in a word programme, it's really nothing flashy. Actually I wanted to keep it fairly simple, but with a very important element. Of course there needed to be spaces for the paint, and a box underneath with the corresponding paint name. However…

Hi - today see's the start of #3UP over at the PaperArsty blog where 3 different designers are featured each day for the next week using the fabulous PaperArtsy products.

Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics August 2019 New Product Announcement A note from Leandra: In July, I managed to sit down for a couple of weeks and work out a new plan for the Fresco Finish Chalk Acrylics. I decided the best plan was to set aside the designer paints into their own series, and re-group the remaining into our core collection. Families of 6 seemed to make the most sense. This meant a few tweaks and created a number of gaps, around , to fill. Yes there WILL be a new paint chart, but…

I saw some cards recently by Emma Godfrey from PaperArtsy using Fresco paints to create a masterboard as the foundation of the designs. I liked this idea - so today am sharing my own version. (Thanks Emma!) 1. Take a few chalk paints and a credit card and begin layering up your card - I started with a sheet of A4. 2. When you are happy - and it doesn't need to be a masterpiece - cut the card into the sizes you require. My finished cards are 6" square (15cm sq.). I wanted to make them all…
