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.

Brotherly Love Lasts Forever Layout Playing at *49 and Market* & *More Than Words* & *Finnabair's Art Recipe* & *Mixed Media Place* & * Lindy's Stamp Gang*!!!

Goodmorning my lovely friends,

Today I'd like to show you another layout and again just for fun. I really love this photo of Kevin & Abbey. I think it's one of my most precious ones that's because you see the love Kevin has for his little sister a bond that can never be broken. For this layout I used all 49 and Market papers, embellishments and flowers but all the mediums I have used are by Finnabair.

Brotherly Love Lasts Forever: 

I also used this months sketch at the 49 and Market Fans Facebook page but also the one at the More Than Words blog. This time I flipped the 49 and Market one so it looked more like the one at More Than Words. As most of you know I am a hugh sucker for the color purple and again this month there was a beautiful moodboard at the finnabair blog so I could not resist to enter a second time.

I cut the "Reminisence"sheet and placed the outside edges inwards I hope you know what I mean by that...then I placed on top of the other woodgrain sheet from the same collection and distressed the edges also I used a stitch stamp on now what are the outer edges then I randomly added the script stamp & a Finnabair stencil so now my background is ready.

On the some what blue flowers I added some art alchemy opal magic paint in the color blue-pink. On the purple flowers I used some finnabair waxes {sweet rose & heather hills}, also the cirkel underneath my photo is treated with art alchemy paint metallique vintage rose & impasto paste lavender. To finish of my layout I added some wishing bubbles, art stones and white paint splatters.

As I told you before I really love the sketches at the 49 and Market blog/facebook page they are very inspiring to me. This time I rotated it to the left and used just one picture. I am very excited to see the new one for the month May.

49 and Market

I was also very happy to see that More Than Words had a sketch this month. You could use or be inspired by the word perfect for me this is the perfect photo of the love and bond between two siblings. To my kids "Always Remember"that!

Memories are Perfect Layout paying at ***Finnabair March 2021 Art Recipe*** & ***49 and Market April Sketch**** & ***More Than Words***!!!

 Hi lovely friends, 

Thank you so much for your visit today, lately I feel very inspired by the Art Recipes at the Finnabair blog and I am more & more into mixed media everytime I create something. For this layout I used two sketches one at the 49 and Market blog & one at the More Than Words blog the last one I rotated on the side. At the last one you could use the word perfect or be inspired by it! The pictures are from a perfect memory we created back in 2010 when being on our vacation in Spain.

For this 12 by 12 layout I used the pretty "Paradise Island"collection by 49 and Market and a whole bunch of stamps & flowers....the moodboard got me thinking of the beach with all the lovely textures created by mother nature. I used some dried seaweed moss & dried plants that my husband gave me as a gift a while back and never got to use it untill now. I also wanted to show you the pretty woodgrain papers so I cut some parts and placed them in between my pictures. Underneath my pictures you see some of natures elements too but I could not tell you what it's called....sorry!

On my background sheet I added some of the dark forest paint with a tissue that is such a easy way to apply paint and it gives it a nice crackled look. After that I added a script stamp & Gabi's herbaceous stamp set by 49 and Market.

Then I added a stencil by The Dusty Attic although I wish I had a stencil of that by prima {Finnabair} so my layout was only 49 and Market & Finnabair but hey it does it's work. Then I sprayed some mica powder on the background and finished my layout off with white splatters.

The colours: dark green, latte brown, dark teal!

You could choose two of the four products listed and those where: 

 Pebbles, Icing Pastes, Mechanicals or Tissue Papers!

For mine layout I used: Pebbles & Mechanicals {I used five different ones}

Finnabair Products used: 

Mechanicals Desert Flowers

Mechanicals Hardware Accents

Mechanicals Antique Labels

Mechanicals Tin Hearts

Mechanicals Mini Knobs

Art Ingredients Melange Art Pebbles

Mega Art Stones

Art Ingredients Art Stones

Art Alchemy - Antique Brilliance Mystic Turquoise

Mica Powder Deep Water

Art Alchemy Metallique Dark Forest

Rust Effect Paste Camouflage

 

 As you see here this is this months amazing sketch by 49 and Market which I totally love & kept it very much alike the only thing that is different is the tittle in a other spot.

The third challege I am entering is the one at the More Than Words blog the only thing I did was flip it over on the right side if you know what I mean ;-) 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog and I hope I have inspired you to be creative in every way you can. Stay safe & happy and have a wonderful weekend!!!

Abbey Jane Layout for ***Maja Design***

Goodmorning sweet followers,

It's been ages since my last post and since I have been creative. 

I have to tell you it feels so good ;-) to create again, I have a lot of inspiration luckily! So hopefully you will like my work the next view posts. This is my first layout I made with our precious little girl in the spotlights 'Abbey Jane' is her name and she was born on the 15th of July last year, so she is almost turning one. It's sad that due to the corona virus we have to keep it small but hey 

she will not remember it anyways lol ....

Abbey Jane:

We feel very blessed that we have such a healthy little girl and she is a very happy baby, 

we could not have wished for more {our little present} 

For me this layout is kind of messy but it's my first one since a long time so I don't mind that it is. For this layout I used the beautiful "Denim and Girls" collection by Maja Design which I totally adore so more to come for sure. The chipboards are by The Dusty Attic and I painted and sprayed with different mediums. The background is purely made by using a stencil and some crackle paste. Alle the pretty flowers are by 49 and Market.

I am still figuring out how to make the best pictures with my phone still not getting it the way I want to, I think it's time for me to read the manual for once lol..... 

but where do I have the time oh oh....because when I do have time I want to scrap. for this layout I used two of my favorite sheets, Ripped Jeans bs and Romantic Blouse:

 

Hopefully you all liked my first post glad to be back again.....love to see you soon! And I wish you a wonderful day and weekend. Be creative and happy thank you for visiting my blog today ;-)
