"Cherish That Wonderful Day Canvas" for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & *Playing at Finnabair March 2022 Art Recipe*!

  Hi lovely friends, 

For today I show you some mixed media inspiration, this is a reversed eight by eight canvas with a picture of our Abbey and lot's of 2Crafty chipboard pieces. This time I used a different colour combination which is more my style.

Cherish That Wonderful Day:

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
 Fine Word Set 1
Lace Doily Frame
Frames Tiny Vivian's 
Square Leafy Frame Set
Corner Steampunk 6 Set

All the chipboard pieces are first treated with white gesso, then I added rust paste on them with the exception of the fine word "Cherish" that one was treated with liquid acrylic {nude}. After the rust paste was dry I added several different mediums on the beautiful 2Crafty chipboard pieces such as matte & metallique waxes, impasto paint & metallique acrylic paints.

The canvas was treated with tissue paper, then I added some paper texture paste on the outer side {the wood part} of the canvas when that was all dry. I placed another layer of tissue paper on the outer edge. It took a bunch of hours to let it all air dry before I could embellish it. 

With this canvas I will be entering the amazing Art Recipe on the Finnabair blog!

 I have used: Tissue Paper & Matte Wax

Products to choose from:  Jewel Paste, Chipboard, Matte Wax, Tissue Paper

The colours: dusty rose, delicate coral, light taupe.

My Crew Abbey & Fibi Layout for ***Celebr8***!

 Goodmorning lovely friends, 

Today I give you some inspiration with the awesome "YOLO"collection by Celebr8. This collection has lot's of wonderful word strips like all the Celebr8 collections have. This time I went for a picture of Abbey with our sweet dog Fibi. I did a lot of fussy cutting on this layout but also some stamping, spraying & stenciling 

My Crew Abbey & Fibi:

The bottom part of my layout is a sheet from the "Textures" collection, I love it when the collections all go so well together. I layered the flowers that I cut out and placed them on several places on my layout. I matted my picture with three layers, two of them I stitched around the edges.

I really adore the pretty colors of this collection they speak to my heart. Hopefully I have more time to create with this one again soon.

One of a Kind Layout for ***ScrapAndMe***!

  Happy Spring lovely friends, 

I am delighted that you are here with me today, I was super excited that newest collection "Afternoon Sky" was brought by the postman last wednesday. It's so pretty in real life that I had to digg in as soon as I got the chance. In my last post I hoped there would be another blue collection and my prayers are answered. And off course I made a layout with it with a picture of Abbey as my focal point.

One of a Kind: 

I did a lot of disstressing the edges and coloured it with ink. I also made a fun patched background behind my picture with strips of paper from the backgound sheet I used. Then I added some eyelets on the left side of my layout to run some ribbon through.

I did some mixed media on the background with rub-ons, stamping & stenciling to give my layout more depth & demension. This was fussy cutting heaven I really adore this collection. At the end I added some art stones, sprays & butterflies

A Moment With You is Magical Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***

 Hi there lovely friends, 

I am excited to show you my second layout for 2Crafty, for this one I used the color yellow which I not use that often. But when I got my new 2Crafty chippies I knew exactly which ones I wanted to use & with what paper collection I was going to use it. The picture is a oldie and I wanted to use it since we are going to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary next month. 

A moment with you is magical: 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
 Fine Word Set 2
Frame Fine Circle with Butterflies
11"Fine Floral Frame Set
Foliage Set 6
A Moment With You

All the chipboard pieces are treated with gesso and "purely white"embossing powder then I added a layer of wax with two different colors {rusty brown and old white} on the foliage pieces I added some green matt acrylic paint and on the little circles I added gold pearlecents.

I did some machine stitching around my picture, and also used some pretty flowers, rub-ons, wishing bubbles and did a lot of fussy cutting from the "sunflower" collection by ScrapAndMe. At the end I added some frozen jack frost & shimmer spray. 

I also added some rub-on words & three beautiful butterflies made by my very talented friend Renea Harrison. Thank you so much for your visit and I hope to see you next time.

Much love and happy crafting...
