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,

Summer Day Canvas June's Guest Designer for ***Mixed Media Academy*** + Playing at More Than Words!!!

 Goodmorning my lovely fans, 

Today I share with you a reversed canvas that I created especially for "Mixed Media Academy" as their June Guest Designer. I won their amazing April challenge and because I did, I got to be a guest this month and I really love the moodboard...As most of you know I am a sucker for beachy things like shells, starfish and so much more! So this was a blessing to make let's have a look at the moodboard first.

Beautiful right? I just love teal, aqua, turquoise and greens to created with.

For this canvas I used some Maja Design paper from the Nyhavn collection which I stitched.....yesssss I own a sewing machine again. The flowers are by the amazing 49 and Market & the chippies by The Dusty Attic. All the mixed Media goodies are by Finnabair & some sprays by Lindy's.

Summer Day:

On the background sheet I used one of my favorite stencils {that I could not find online for a while, then someone told me where to get it and now I have two omg lol} on top of that I added two mica powders with lots of water. On the green frames I added the gotic stencil after I treated it with liquid acrylics....

On the picture you see cute little Kevin who is not so little anymore where did the time go....I used two moulds here one of a starfish & one of a shell those are treated with waxes. The chipboards are treated with liquid acrylics and a little bit of spray.

As a finishing touch I added some art stones & wishing bubbles. This was a wonderful project to create I sure hope I have inspired you with my work.

Thank you so much Priyanka Srivastava for having me as a guest designer I really appriciate it.

With this canvas I will be entering this months challenge at More Than Words I have used a whole bunch of paints here on this canvas all are from Finnabair {almost the only paints I use nowadays} especially the liquid ones are amazing ;-) with my first entry for this challenge I told you that our SON is my big "hero"he is turning into such a wonderful man now he is 16 years of age and I can not wait untill he is older I bet I will be so proud of him at all ages....on this picture Kevin is around the age of 6 years but it seems like such a long time ago wow...

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today and I want to wish you a wonderful weekend and stay safe & healty.

I Love You Lil' Darlin Layout for ***Renea Bouquets*** & ***Maja Design***!!!

Goodmorning my sweet friends, 

 I have been enjoying myself a lot using one of the most beautiful products there are in this scrapbook industry. I find it sad that I don't have my whole scraproom loaded with all Renea Bouquets gooddies especially the amazing butterflies, dragonflies and beautiful boards....I want them all ;-) Today I show you a steampunk layout with on the picture my handsome husband with our tiny little girly in the shower. I don't know why I assosiate black with steampunk but I do, I used one of the darkest pages Maja Design offers to make this layout. 

I Love You Lil' Darlin: 

When I could choose my Guest Designer Package I was focussed on the black lace, flowers, butterflies and chunky glitter glass and went around that creating my layout. The beautiful boards are treated with some different mediums...I used Finnabair rust effect paste, waxes and black gesso on some of them and on the other pieces I used some lindy's sprays and a script stamp.

I think the pretty hinges are so cool to used they are very detailed and I have to tell you I am a sucker for chipboards like that kind of steampunk stylish. For me this layout is kind of clean and simple and that is sometimes nice to make as well if I had more flowers I would have added them all lol....

I have tucked the lace in the rips that I made in the papers I always wanted to try that but I never did...To finish my layout I added some amazing black chunky glitter glass and I also added some rub-on words.

A Moment to Smile Layout for ***Renea Bouquets*** & ***Maja Design***!

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.
