Odyssey of the Mind {for Lindy's Stamp Gang}

Odyssey of the Mind

Hi Everyone! I'm here to share with you another project I put together using the concept of an Artist trading Block.
The cube (or Artist Trading Block) was great fun for me and I guarantee it’s not to be the last of its kind! Yes another box- I just couldn’t help myself!!! =)

This month for the Lindy's Stamp Gang Color Challenge I put this cute little box. Bellow you can see that the possibilities are endless with the ATB's.

So let’s take an artful journey through the mind! An Odyssey of the Mind that’s where; and a 3-D Artist Block experience with a major color explosion!!!

 I used: 

Azure Sea Asters Witch's Potion Purple Starburst Spray, Brushed Nickel Starburst Spray, Clam Bake Beige Starburst Spray, and Midnight Gold Embossing Powder. The paper line i used was Authentic. Tim Holtz Alterations Dies, trinkits, and beads. 

Bellow I have a video explaining how I put this beautiful Artist Trading block together! So prepare to be amazed by these creative and innovative ATB designs!

As always I hope to have inspired you to go and create something wonderful!

House Warming Moments

Hi there Blogosphere friends, It’s Ivett here again with some Lindy’s inspiration!

 

I recently got an invitation from a good friend of mine to visit her at her new home and of course I to make her a card to go with her housewarming gift.

I created this card using a few Mixed Media techniques and my new summer favorite Lindy’s set Under the Boardwalk. I used some 7 Dot Studios paper with some We R Memory Keepers “Dreamy” Double-sided Journaling cards. I also incorporated some beautiful Prima flowers, Prima Junkyard Findings, a Prima Bust and some cute gears and chipboard gears.

My friend a big girly girl as am I so this card was a treat to make and I can’t wait to see the expression on her face when she gets her present!

I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Under the Boardwalk Flat spray set 

and coordination Embossing Powders.

Bellow I have a video with a small tutorial for you.

 As always I hope to inspire you!

Feathery Faith Page (on tonight's Ustream show)!

Hi everyone Ivett here again to share a quick project with you! For those of you that don't already know I host a live Ustream on Wednesday nights and tonight was no exception.

I took my large Dylusions Art Journal and created this Feathery Faith Page. I added gesso to the raw page then i added various tones of turquoise and aqua to the background. I then stenciled in the feathers with a Crafters Workshop stencil and added stickers for the word faith.

"Hope" LSG Color Challenge

Hi everyone and welcome back! It’s that time again!!! Today I want to share with you my rendition of our LSG Color Challenge.

We have a new color set of Flat Fabio’s and it’s called Très Chic! I of course used all the colors on my Art Journal page to show you how cute the colors are and that they play well together! I created my “Hope” page using these very subdued colors and added an extra touch/accented it with my fabulous embossing powders in Scotch Broom Yellow and Desert Moon Turquois. These amazing embossing powders helped the page pop with vibrancy!!! 

 Above is a look at my Art Journal page before I added and texture to it. 

Here you can see the beautiful colors.
