Let's Embellish

Texture, paste Gelatos AND acrylic? Yes!

Thursday, November 14, 2013

Hey hey there bloggers!

Oh my goodness time is just flying by and these days I am spending way
more time on the computer cleaning up files than actually creating.

No fun.

But I am getting there- so close, almost done then I can share what I am up to.

I am working on a portfolio of my art and because I am not a computer person

it is taking a lot longer than I would like!

Meanwhile here is a another two pager I made.

I used DCWV Forever and Always Stack - I don't know if you can tell in the pictures but in

some areas the paper has a matte finish and in some it has iridescent stripes. I also added some

more texture (I love texture) with canvas ribbon, Artisan elements (Pink Paislee),

Blue Fern & Maya Road chipboard & drywall tape,

I colored all my pieces with Gelatos, misted with water and blended with a dry paint brush.

I used acrylic banners in two sizes (Clear Scraps) to make

my title and journal pop off the page!

I also used modeling paste and gesso.

Here are the pages together.

This is my oldest - aka the original baby girl in the family!

Hope you have a blessed day!

Playing with gesso & modeling paste

Hey bloggers! Here are some beautiful papers from the Tres Chic Stack by DCWV.

I was inspired to do something a little more romantic as I received

this gorgeous chipboard from Blue Fern Studios!

Lately it seems as though I can't do anything without pulling out my

gesso and modeling paste so I pulled out my supplies and went to work!

I covered most of the page & chipboard lightly with gesso,

then went back with a heart stencil and modeling paste.

(after all Valentines day is right around the corner!)

I used a Guava Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft®
Gelato® over the top of the dried gesso and paste.

I rubbed it in with a dry sponge.

Baby girl is getting bigger every day!

I think this is a perfect title for her page don't you?
