"Christmas Wonder" Layout for fun + Playing with the quarterly challenge at "MIxed Media Place"!!!

 Hello lovely creative people, 

I just couldn't let the quarterly challlenge at the Mixed Media Place blog pass by since it is such a pretty mood board. I am not a real fan of making Christmas projects overall but this one was so much fun to make since I had a sweet sweet picture of my little Abbey posing in front of our Christmas tree last year.....I totally forgot that I had taken them. 

"Christmas Wonder"

I have distressed the edges around my layout the I made some horizontal fissures where I later one added some of the fine metallic flakes. That really gives such a shiny effect and it's so much fun to do so. On my chipboard pieces I added some acrylic paint, wax and the same flakes. 

Let's have a look at the mood board:

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,

July 15 at Sea 30 by 10 canvas playing at ***Mixed Media Place*** & ***Lindy's Stamp Gang***!!

  Goodmorning my lovely friends, 

Today I am here with you to share another mixed media panel {canvas} and again I used a 30cm by 10cm and I placed it on the side. When I was visiting the mixed media place blog I saw this gorgeous soft toned beachy moodboard which I really loved so I had to enter {but little did I know I only had two days left to enter} so I went strait to my scrappy room and started playing. Also the pretty June color challenge at the Lindy's Stamp Gang  was very similar in colors so I thought why not combine the two so I did. For this canvas I used a picture of our sweet Abbey on the beach looking for sea shells.

July 15 at Sea: 

This was such a fun canvas to create I could not stop adding layers it was that Abbey woke up that I had to stop lol. In the end I added some art stones & mica flakes. 

I have used the tree branches mould designed by Sharon Ziv from Prima Marketing and the Treasures of the Seas mould by Zuri. Also some amazing chipboard pieces by 2Crafty & flowers from 49 and Market. 

Here is a picture of the beautiful mood board: Mixed Media Place

Beautiful Memories Layout for *Renea Bouquets* + Playing at *Lindy's Stamp Gang* & * Scrap and Me* & *Mixed Media Place*!!!

 Goodmorning lovely friends, 

How sweet of you to visit my blog, here in The Netherlands it's nice warm weather just as I like it the summer kicked in Oh Yeah!!!. Today I would like to share a layout that's close to my heart. I made this layout with the newest Maja Design collection called "Tropical Garden" which has beautiful pale & soft tones in it. Why is this layout so special you may wonder well it's because of the picture {you probably guessed that already} I made this picture without both knowing I did they had a special moment here and I captured it......

Beautiful Memories: 

I took some of the pink & purple papers and the cut out sheet and I fussy cut the whole sheet. Then I wrinkled the pink paper and used a stencil by Finnabair on the purple sheet. I placed the pink sheet on the purple after I added some pink, purple & white Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays! 

Then the building a layout begins on the bottom of my picture I added some courd as I did on in the flower clusters too....I really like this part of making the layout. Some of the beautiful board I left just the way it is and on some I added paint & waxes.

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!
