Our Heart & Soul Embroidery Hoop for Renea Bouquets & Playing with the Beautiful Finnabair December 2021 Art Recipe!!!

Goodmorning Lovelies,

Happy 2022 for you all may this year be full of health, happiness, creativity, love and so much more... I have been enjoying myself a lot being on this wonderful creative journey! Meeting a lot of amazing people around the globe thank you all for your sweet comments on my work every single time. This time I would like to show you something different, a embroidery hoop. More and more I see myself liking mixed media. Currently I am totally hooked on my amazing moulds by Finnabair, Prima Marketing & Zuri. Making a embroidery hoop is something I have never made before and I had a lot of fun doing so.

Our Heart & Soul:

For this embroidery hoop I have used the newest Maja Design collection which is called "Bohemian Harmony" and it is so totally my style......I have added a stencil, moulds, pastes, mechanicals and of course my favorite dragonflies. I really loved seeing the new Art Recipe on the Finnabair blog it has such pretty colours that I had to play along.

I placed a sheet from the collection behind the hoop but I added the stencil first but also some spray. Then I arranged a my handmade flowers & the pretty Renea Bouquets flowers as I liked them. On top of that my chipboards, moulds & of course a picture.

Goodmorning sweet followers,

I am very excited to be sharing my first layout as a guest designer for Renea Bouquest. For this layout I have used two pictures of our vacation back in 2010 when Kevin was such a cute little boy. We had so much fun then I sure miss our vacations but hopefully covid is on it's return. For this layout I used Maja Design papers and all Renea Bouquets embellishments and oh boy how I love those gorgeous dragonflies!

A Moment to Smile:On the edges of my background paper I added a lot of distress oxide "vintage photo" after I distressed all my edges first. Next thing I did was adding a background stamp and a splatter stencil to give it more of a beachy feeling. Then I used a couple of my lindy's sprays to soften up my background. Now my background is done.

I also used distress oxide "vintage photo" on the beautiful boards. The beautiful boards frames Victorian Scroll Frame & 2 Accents are treated with rust effect past by finnabair and later on I added the Blue Lagoon wax to give it the teal look to match my flowers.

To finish of my layout I also added some art stones and some gorgeous No hole seafoam glass Microbeads by Renea Bouquets. As you see in the last picture the beautiful boards are very thick and nicely cut and you can also leave them untreated as I did with the words moment & smile.
