Creepy & Cute panel for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & Playing at ***Lindy's Gang***!!!

 Hello sweet friends, 
I am so happy you are here with me today....this time I bring you some mixed media inspiration. This panel was created with all gorgeous 2Crafty chippies and some moulds it was made for a challenge with the theme "Creepy & Cute. I off course used a picture of Abbey as a little baby for the cute part.

Creepy & Cute: 

2Crafty Chipboard used: 
Anna's Flourish
Cassie's Flourishes 
Flourish Adornment Set 5
Foliage Set 6
Steampunk Gears Medium
Steampunk Gears Small
Mini Word Set 3

I altered some of the chipboard pieces with black gesso {on the creepy side} then I added some waxes that I brushed on them. On the other pieces I used white gesso and on some of them sprays {which I blow dried} and on the others some effect paste. The spraying gives it such a fun effect like water drops.

On the beautiful "Cassie's Flourishes" I added a layer of crushed ice effect paste to make it sparkle a little bit, but it is not really visible on the pictures sadly. To finish my work I added some flowers & white spray. 

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny week!

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,

Today was Just Adorable Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & ***Maja Design***!!!

 Hi there lovely friends,
It's a lovely day to visit my blog, for today I have another layout to share with you. Lately I really love to use a little mixed media on my layouts like combining the very romantic stuff with a darker twist to it. This time I made all the beautiful chipboard pieces black which I later on painted to my likes. For this layout I used a picture of both our kids {Kevin & Abbey} Kevin was reading a book and I thought it was so sweet that I took a picture. 

Today was Just Adorable:

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Elegant Flourishes
Cassie's Flourishes 
Word Circles Set 1
Corner Twisted Vines
Hinges Pack
Filigree Arrows
Just Adorable 
Clock Face Frames
Mini Title Stick Set 3
Mini Title Stick Set 1

All the pretty chipboard are treated with a layer of black gesso. Then I used several waxes and a dabber brush to make it look like real metal. In the end I added some color with acrylic paints to match my layout 

For my layout I have used some Maja Design papers and a new mould to frame my sweet picture with. For the background I have used a stencil and some sprays. 

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny week!

Wonderful Memory of You layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***!!

 Hi there lovely friends,

It's a lovely day to visit my blog because I have another layout to share with you all. What I really love about 2Crafty Chipboard pieces are that they are so delicate and swirly which makes your layouts & other works so romantic and I am a sucker for romance and hearts. 

Wonderful Memory of You: 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
Mini Word Set 3
Memory of You
Beaded Hanging Heart Set
Frame Handrawn Hearts
Squiggly Heart Cluster 
Leafy Shrub Set 1

I just can't stop creating in purple colors since it is my favorite color lol, this layout was made with the pretty "Spring Purple" collection. All the chippies are painted with one layer of white gesso then I painted the "Memory of You" phrase with some purple acrylic paint then I added some transparant crackle paste and some wax when it was dry.

I painted the Leafy Shrub Set 1 with some green acrylic matte paint and then I added some wax and purple impasto paint. I also added some hearts from the "Steampunk Hearts" mould by Finnabair which I painted with black gesso en pruple wax. In the end I added some pearle on the leafy set to give it more demension. The flowers are all handmade and I did a lot of fussy cutting as well. 

Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to take out your lovely 2Crafty Chippies and create and have fun while doing so. Have a blessed & sunny week!

My Wish for You to Find Joy in the Ordinary Tag for *Scrap And Me* Challenge #94 use the color pallette & Playing at *More Than Words* Mini Challenge!!!

 Hello sweet crafty friends, 

Happy July it's the 8th of the month and that means another challenge over at the ScrapAndMe blog. This time the challenge is "Let yourself be inspired by the color pallete" and that is very easy since the new collection "Spring Purple" has those colors. I made this tag with one of the new moulds by Finnabair "Baroque Frames" 

My Wish for You to Find Joy in the Ordinary: 

I took my largest tag die that I own to create this tag I stitched around the edges with my sewing machine. I slightly moved the smaller piece of paper to the right to create more dimension I also lifted it up a little with foam tape. The flowers are handmade with some of my flower dies I always wet them a little and fold them up like little balls and wrinkle them a lot before drying them. 

Then I used my gorgeous new mould by finnabair "Baroque Frames" that I painted with acrylic paints and waxes. This was a really fun tag to make and I hope you are going to play too it would be nice to see what you all will create. 

 Scrap And Me papers used: 

With this card I will be entering at this months Mini Challenge at the More Than Words blog and facebook page here: Art Cafe Facebook Group

 I would like to thank you all for being here with me today and for your amazing support. I really love this creative journey I am sharing with you all ....

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.
