Christmas star by Kasia

Hello,

today I have for You a wooden star with an interesting and easy-to-do background. 

First, you have to apply a thick layer of modeling paste. Then, make patterns using a rubber tool.
When the paste is dry, decorate the star of your own choosing.

Witajcie,

dzisiaj chciałam Wam pokazać drewnianą gwiazdę z ciekawym i bardzo łatwym do zrobienia tłem. 

Pierwszy krok to nałożenie na nasz obiekt grubej warstwy pasty modelującej. Następnie tworzymy fakturę za pomocą gumowego grzebienia. Jeśli coś Wam nie wyjdzie, to nie martwcie się, zawsze można wygładzić pastę i spróbować jeszcze raz.

Gdy pasta już dobrze wyschnie ozdabiamy gwiazdę według własnego uznania.

modeling paste

rubber tool

Winter cards by Kasia

Hello!

Today something special for me - cards. I make it very rarely, but for Christmas I try to make a few. I want to show you, how to make snow effect with our media - modeling paste and gel medium.

First - my cards without snow ;)

Then, I mixed gel medium and glitter, and applied on the card.

In this card I made snow with modeling paste. Remember, in this case you need to sprinkle with the glitter, not mixed with paste. 

It's hard to capture this effect on the photo, but I tried to...

Hello!

Today I have for You another mini photo tutorial about making background.
This time I made my project on white cardboard.

First (1.) I painted it with gesso, then (2.) gel medium and glued laces and gauze on it. When it was completely dry (3.) I added my favourite mists - this time pastel mint, pearl olive green and absolutely fabulous new color - pearl old gold. After that (4.) I added some papers from our new collection Color Basic and a little bit of Splash! Ink - black and the new one - gold. 

 I maded another few layers of papers, gauze, flowers and my project was ready :)

Mixed-media tags - by Kasia Bogatko

Hello!

Today I have for you two tags. It's a great way to practice your skills.

 Both were created on a black base and with a lot of mediums.

I like to use glass beads to create the background. I stick them with gel medium and lightly covered with gesso. They will be more visible and better prepared to mists and paints.

gesso

Ayeeda pastel mists: lavender, white, green

Ayeeda pearl mists: bordeaux, gold

glass beads D5

To make layers, I used cardboard, corrugated board, pages from old book, gauze and twine.

How to decorate metal and resin elements - tutorial by Kasia Bogatko

Hello!

Today I have a little tutorial for you. I want to show you, how I decorate metal and resin elements to my projects.

1. cover the elements with gesso (add to it a little bit of water)

2. paint with chosen color (I love gold!)

3. add you favorite colors (mine - metallic blue and pink).

I do it mostly with my fingers. That gives a natural and smooth effect.

Now you can add some embossing powders. Look at the result with distress embossing powder and gesso - it looks realy like a rust.

Resin elements don't need a gesso, you can mists them with 2-3 colors (heat after each color).

I used a pearl gold, pearl pink and chalk blue light mist. To highlight the details use paint or embossing powder.

Thank You!
