Embrace The Journey Mixed Media Panel ***Playing at Finnabair February 2022 Art Recipe***

 Hi lovely friends,

I saw my sweet friend Pascale Bernard use some amazing sized canvasses a while back and I really wanted them too. So I asked her what size they where and she told me they are 10 by 30 cm. I asked my husbands friend {who lives in France} if he could buy me some since we don't have them here in The Netherlands. This is a fun size to create with.

Embrace The Journey:  

I painted my canvas with heavy black gesso, then I added the swirly florel stencil with some crackle paste when that was dry I put on a layer of black gesso again. Then I used three different mica powders rust, copper & vintage ivory and some water. 

Then I made my mouds four different ones, the frame was also treated with heavy black gesso and the gears & star too. Then I added some matallic flakes on the frame and some waxes. The rest of the moulds are treated with white gesso and a bunch of different acrylic paints & waxes. 

And for the finishing touch I added some memory hardware pearls, wishing bubbles, mechanicals and snow and at the end I used my new favorite wax white pearl to accent the edges of my panel as on the flowers and stencil work.

This is the amazing Art Recipe that's on the Finnabair blog!

Perfect in my Heart Layout for ***Renea Bouquets*** & ***ScrapAndMe***!!!

 Hello my lovely friends, 

Today I'd like to share a layout I made based on this months moodboard over at the ScrapAndMe blog. For this layout I used the pretty Frosty Days collection and I think I used almost every sheet in this collection lol. Also I have used some gorgeous embellishments from Renea Bouquets like the Beautiful Boards, flowers, butterflies, beads & printed beautiful boards.

Perfect in my Heart: 

First I cut out the middle of the number 05 sheet then I stitched around the edges on both pieces, then I disstressed the edges. I also added a winter crackle stencil. All the chipboard pieces are covered with some snow after I first added gesso. 

I used a picture of Abbey from last winter. I did a lot of fussy cutting on this layout these papers really lent themselves for that.

Delicate Winterdays Layout for ***Maja Design*** & ***De Hobbyboerderij*** + Playing at More Than Words!!

Goodmorning lovely bloggers,

Oh was I happy to get my design team package last week the new collection is such a pretty one, that I totally am in LOVE with it. Tomorrow I will be teaching some small classes at a retreat called "Kreadoe" which is much like CHA but a little smaller as it is in The Netherlands. I will be at a stand called De Hobby Boerderij were I will be using a bunch of Maja Design papers so if you will be visiting this retreat please come by to say hello ;-) Today I will be showing you a 12 by 12 layout using this wonderful new collection hope you like it.

Delicate Winterdays:

I did some handstitching on my layout...a while ago I never thought I could make a layout without stitching but now I it's rare if I do. So I guess things aways chance in scrapbooking. The chipboard pieces are treated with snoweffects the same as I did with the pretty flowers I used on this layout. I fell in love with this sweet picture I got from pinterest that I had to use it.

I really enjoy making wintery layouts although I dislike Winter more than the other seasons.  The centers of the flowers are made with mini prills and little wooden balls (only the larger ones) some of the leaves in the flowers clusters are from a die by sizzix which I adore.
