Celebrate Home Canvas

I love messing with paint and stamps. When my DT pack arrived from Linda I immediately knew what to do with the frame and canvas piece she sent me.

The canvas piece that the frame holds was covered in gesso before I applied different colors of Ayeeda mists. When the gesso and mist was dry, I added a bit of modelling paste trough a stencil. After some more driying time the stamping was added with a permanent black ink. the chipboard frame was painted with silver glitter paint and the flowers with spray ink added with a brush.

Enjoy!

Quotes - August Designer Challenge

I must admit that I´m not a big fan of quotes. But I´m always up for a challenge. One quote that has stuck into my mind and one that I sort live by "Sweat is fat crying". I love to work out at the gym!

I made this layout using mixed media techniques. The background was made with a lot of gesso and paint splatters with really wet metallic water paint. I used a Linnie Blooms canvas shape that I stamped on with permanent ink as a backdrop for my photo. The Linnie Blooms canvas butterfly was painted with the same metallic paint as I dribbled on the background.

The buttons and chipboard was a variety of colors, so I covered them with a thin layer of gesso to hold it all together.

The picture was taken at my local gym - Victory Gym.

Have a really nice day - and from a nutty Cardiac Nurse - move and think of what you eat!

Yellow exam card

I´m showing you a yellow and bright card I made for our nice Teacher exam. I love how it turned out with the different shades of yellow paper and the yellow flowers. The Linnie Blooms canvas feather and leave was just spot on perfect for this project.

To highlight the canvas shapes further, I inked them a bit with a beige ink. Enjoy!

Mixed media tags

Today I would like to show you two tags I made for my doughter Alice who turned 6 years old a couple of days ago.

 

I have used the same base for both tags, a cardstock tag with a patterned paper from 7 Dots Studio (Love is in the Air collection "Rising of the Sun"). First of all, I wanted to add some structure so I applied thick modeling paste (from the hardware store) trough a template. When dried I sprayed the tags with mist from Ayeeda (13@rts). After drying more I stamped with black permanent ink randomly over the tags.

 

When happy with the base I added my chosen Linnie Bloom canvas products, mixed with a couple of other embellishments. For the tag above I made a flower using two Canvas Blooms that I sew togheter by hand. Then I sprayed it with ink and highlighted it with a bit of red paint.

For the card down below I used the gorgous Canvas Leaves and feathers! They are SO versatile!! Instead of misting them I painted them with thin gesso. That way they get more flexible, and easy to bend when semi dry.

Other materials used: Flower (13@rts). Frame (Fabscraps). Chipboard Wheel and tag (Scrapiniec). Rinestones (Pink Paislee). Button (Prima Marketing). Stamps (Prima, Keisercraft).

Hope you liked my tags as much as Alice did!

Gold and Glitter

You know those days you feel like you are like a grey mouse wandering around in the city? We all have them, and I took a photo of myself one of those days. I mean, scrapbooking is about documenting life, and life ain´t bright and sunny everyday...

To spruce up the "sad" picture I have used a lot of golds and sparkly bits.

I have used a mini file folder as my backdrop for the picture. I used different stamps to achieve some and dept to it.

I built up my page on top of the file folder with different cards, tags, tread and a piece of a brown bag. Then I added a lot of flowers and the gorgeous Linnie Blooms Canvas leaves.

The leaves where covered in varnish and two different Mesospheres from Ayeeda (13@arts). The papers, cards and tags are from 7 Dots Studio. I have also used Heidi Swapp color shine (gold).

Hope you enjoyed my romantic page!
