Picture Perfect Moment Mixed Media Panel for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** + Playing at Lindy's August Color Challenge!!!

  Hi lovely creative peeps, 
For today's post I made another mixed media panel, 2Crafty Chipboards sells amazing 10" panels in different shapes for this project I used the oval one. And I off course used a picture of our Abbey blowing bubbles a while back {this picture was on my desk for ages but with every project I did I finally used another picture lol} Enjoy my post.....

Picture Perfect Moment:

Beautiful 2Crafty Chipboard used: 
10" Decorative Panel Solid Oval
Flower Petals
Floral Branch
Window Shutter Set 3
Lattice Leaves
Heidi's Vines
Mini Title Stick Set 2
Fine Word Set 3

I treated almost all the chippies in different ways but for the Heidi's Vines & Floral branch I used the same technique. I just colored it with magicals and a brush without gesso-ing them first. I only gessod the window shutters, the word moment & the flower petals. The last one I want them to look more of a 3D flower so I wetted them first to seperate the petals and currled them a little.

 I saw that technique a couple of years ago and I finally gave myself some time to do it. After that I spray paint them with magicals & some wax. The lattice leaves & tittle stick I just left raw with a little bit of brown matt wax. 

 With this project I will be entering this months color challenge at the Lindy's creative Gang Facebook Page the magical set of this month is "Mountain Meadows" which is a flat set which I normally really like but this time I added a little sparkle to two of the colors {for the background} with milky way white because I wanted the background to be a little lighter to make my flowers & chipboard pop. Oh and I used all five colors....

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies & Lindy's products and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny rest of the week! 

Love to leave a little sparkle wherever you go canvas for **Mixed Media Place** Guest Designer August 2022 + Playing along with **Lindy's August Color Challenge**!!

 Hello dear creative friends, 
 I am very excited to show you my project,that I made for the quarterly challenge at the Mixed Media Place blog as their guest designer. For this accasion I made a mixed media panel size 30cm by 10cm.
On my panel I used a bunch of new Finnabair moulds which I first treated with black gesso like I did with my background. The background took a day to dry because I added some of the clear crackle texture paste on it and I wanted it to dry naturally since is was very hot the last week.

Love to leave a little sparkle wherever you go: 

I tend to find it very hard to not use a color palette or a mood board since they always inspire me so much. So I used the Lindy's Stamp Gang color challenge as my inspiration to create this for my guest designer spot at Mixed Media Place

I added a text stencil with the modeling paste and when that was dry I added two layers of black heavy gesso. After that I took out my moulds and made the ones I used with resin (I prefer that over other modeling material) 

Also before I did all of the above I pick out my flowers first which I treated with different sprays & mica powders. When the moulds were dry I used a couple of the waxes & some purple acrylic paint for the backside of the light bulbs. Then I put everything in place how I liked it and voila it's ready and the last thing I did was add some white splatters. 

With this canvas I will be entering this months color challenge at the Lindy's Facebook Page. 

I really love the colors this month look at this pretty example: 

I have used:

Glitz Spritz-Scintillating Silver

Magical Shakers - Polka Purple

Flat Fabio Sprays - Pop Rock Purple

Flat Fabio Sprays - Sidewalk Chalk

Moon Shadow Mist - Violaceous Violet

Starburst Shimmer Sprays - Tea Pot Purple

Starburst Shimmer Sprays- Creme Brulee Cream

I hope I have inspired you with my project. And see you play along at the Mixed Media Place blog and have fun!

Have a gorgeous & creative day,

Charming Moment Canvas Playing at ***Finnabair*** & ***49 and Market***!!!

 Hello my lovely friends,

Today I am here with you to share a 10 by 10 inch canvas, that I created for my beautiful cousin Nicole! On the picture you see her first granddaughter the pretty Amelia Jane from her oldest daughter Nadene and her husband Jason. Don't you just love that little face.....for this canvas I have used the pretty 49 and Market sketch for the month September & I used the gorgeous colors from Finnabair's Art Recipe for August.

Charming Moment: 

I really loved this color combination since rich yellow is not really a color that I use that often, I think it worked out really pretty here. This was Amelia her first photo shoot and she was a little doll! For this canvas I have used the "Serendipitous" mini collection with the cutout sheet and first I added the rub ons on the background paper then the pretty script stamp.

Then I added a script stencil with some Finnabair white crackle paste you see that behind my picture, then I made the grungy frames mould when it was dry I put heavy white gesso on it before treating it with other Finnabair products.

Then the building of my page starts I always love this part of creating, but firstly I treated the pretty frame with some amazing impasto paste, acrylic paint & waxes I love the way it turned out. At the end I added some Art Pebbles & Wishing Bubbles.

You are The World to Me Layout for ***Renea Bouquets*** + Playing at Finnabair's Blog!

 Goodmorning my lovely friends, 

As you all may know by now I am a die heart layout maker and it takes me roughly about five hours to create a layout. From the beginning untill the end {with the idea of papers & products I use leaving out of that time} So this next layout will not be any different although this design I made one time before. For this layout I have used two Maja Design collections "Miles Apart" & "Enjoying Outdoors"

I wanted to follow the Art Recipe Moodboard on the Finnabair blog for this month which consists out of Purple, Rich Yellow and Fern Green....The beautiful frames are treated with rust paste, impasto paste and three different color waxes. The rest of the beautiful boards I kept just the way they are which is a gorgeous color. I only added some wax on the words "YOU" & "ME" to make it more matching my layout. 

I used a pictures of our sweet Abbey and me....in our house we are in a different fase at the moment Abbey went to kindergarden for the first time last week. And it was very hard for her she was crying her eyes out but today she didn't want to go home with me lol, that's how fast they get used to it! 

With this layout I will be entering this month's Art Recipe at the Finnabair blog for this layout I have used two products from the list and those are Pebbles & Impasto Paint and off course I have used a bunch of other Finnabair procust as well such as waxes, a stencil, white gesso, heavy body gel, liquid paint, rust paste & art stones.

Spring Flower Card for ***Maja Design*** + Playing at Cuts2luv!

Goodmorning lovelies,

Don't you just love the new Denim & Friends collection by Maja Design? It totally rocks for me because of it's versatility...you can go masculine but also very feminine so for today I did the last one. I went for a girly spring card with a bunch of flowers, chipboard pieces and some shimmery embellishments. I took out the teal colors form the Denim & Friends collection to match my flowers which are by Petaloo & 49 and Market.

Spring Flower: 

The chipboard pieces are treated with gesso, spray, paint and metallique wax. I took out a clear sheet and a script stencil by The Dusty Attic and added paste on the clear sheet then I lifted the outer border a little with foam tape. The text is a clear stamp by Joy and I also added a piece of ribbon and a flair {which I totally love to use btw}

The sequins are by "Dress My Craft" and are called play with green {but I think they look really teal tho}....this was a super fun card to make and I think I will make more of them. On the outer line paper I did some stitch like stripes to finish my card and at the end I added some sprays.

Maja Design papers used:

 Denim & Friends: Streetwear bs, Jeans & T-shirt bs and Summer shirt bs. Monochromes Shade of Denim: Mono Denim – Aqua.

Other products used:

Dusty Attic Chipboard, Petaloo Flowers, 49 and Market Flowers, Stencil, Paste, Spray by Lindy's, Ribbon, Cheese Cloth, Cuts2luv Flair, Sequins, Ink and Stamp. 

With this card I will be entering this months challenge at "Cuts2luv" this time I went for the pretty oranges in the moodboard and the embellishments "Stars" they are on my flair. Hope you like it...

Thank you for you visit today and I would like to wish you a wonderful & sunny weekend... 

Mid Month Reveal at Scrap Around the World {August 2014 Challenge 16 by Marilyn Rivera} & Playing at Lindy's Stamp Gang {August 2014 color challenge}

Hello everyone & welcome to challenge 16, hosted by Marilyn Rivera, from the USA!

This is such a amazing mood board by my sweet friend Marilyn Rivera look at all the great pictures you can work with wow I was totally inspired by the gold & teal dresses and that fiveties touch of the middle picture below!

So this is my take on the mood board:

I used some gorgeous papers by Graphic 45 & beautiful lace and flowers by Tresors de Luxe 

A little closer:

I also used some of Lindy's Stamp Gang  sprays because with this layout I want to enter their monthly challenge!
I was inspired by the pink & blue colors in the palette.

 I don't own that much sprays & embossing powders.....that hugh flower with the pearl in the middle I made myself using the Starburst Creme Brulee Cream {in love with that one}
I also used
-  Glitz Spritz Sunset Pink
- Starburst Tiffany Lou Blue
- Starburst Cotton Candy Pink

This is the color palette
