Best friends FURever - Michelle Carrick

Hello Scrappers!

WOW...WOW... can you believe its 1 month to Christmas!!

This photo is of my niece Amy and her dog Zoe!

this picture was taken the night of her matric dance and colour perfect for November mood board!

For the back ground I used a mixture of colours

Dusty Attic paints - Rasin; Cranberry; Sugar Plum and impasto White, 

including a bit of crackle paste!

Stencilled with music and stars using Heavy gesso and gold glitter paste!

then stamped with scrip stamp in various places.

After that, using espresso alcohol ink, dropped and let run.

But this was to dark, so I toned it down using Bleach, 

which intern gave it a lemon yellow tinge.

I also applied beach to again tone down my Salmon card stock.

For the chip boards: 

The title I used All-Purpose ink Gold

For the frame I used Ranger embossing powder - lavender gold 

For the butterflies All-Purpose ink Gold with a drop of espresso ink!

I finally added Lace; Film ribbon and flowers!

Create - Altered Pumpkins - Michelle Carrick

Good day my friends,

Today I'm back with a special 

Two altered mixed media pumpkins

especially for the month of October!

Unfortunately, I was so excited about this project,

that I forgot to take a before photo! my bad!!!

I found metal art work pumpkins and 

with that I used two different techniques!

For the first Pumpkin 

I primed it with 3 lays, as the rusty metal kept coming through.

Then I applied alcohol inks - Butterscotch; sunshine yellow; espresso; origanum; Honeycomb; Sunset orange

and a touch of impasto paint! 

Once dry 

I added all the embellishments.

For the chippies I used gold All-Purpose ink as well as alcohol inks - Sunset Orange and Origanum.

For the second one:

I used Prima acrylic liquid paints.

Once again, I primed it with 3 lays, 

as the rusty metal kept coming through. 

I then added texture paste and painted with acrylic liquid paints-

Magenta; Tiger Orange; white and Avocado green.

Once dry i added all my embellishments.

Totally Pawsome - Michelle Carrick

Hello friends,

Here is my first creation for this month.

This photo is of a Schnauzer on my group, and she just poses so beautifully.

A Scrap-able moment!!!

So although one dose not need to prepare the record, I did by using Black gesso. 

Letting it dry naturally, as heat warps the record.

I then stencilled using a damasks stencil, once dry I added colour. 

A mixture of Prima - Black Berry; Iris Potion; Butterfly Spells 

and a touch of Red Wine, to bottom and top of the LP.

To create the starry effect I flicked {using a old Tooth brush}

  

I painted all the Dusty Attic chip boards with Prima - Red Wine 

adding a touch of Butterfly Spells.

Using hessian and angel hair to back my photos.

Most of the flowers are hand made.

I added Dusty Attic - mini tabs, as well as buckles and hessian ribbon

to finish off the look.

Thank you for popping over 

I hope to inspire you!

Happy scrapping
