Hello Studio75 fans! It's Tracey here to share a shabby mixed media card featuring the gorgeous Studio75 Hello Spring paper collection along with fabulous chipboard from the store. The Up in the Air stencil by SnipArt adds amazing texture to the background as well.

Witajcie, Tracy tutaj z urodzinową kartką z budką i ptaszkiem. 
Do wykonania kartki użyłam kolekcji Hello Spring oraz 

szablonu od Snip Art. szablony świetnie nadają strukturę w tle, 

I had so much fun painting the chipboard and adding background texture. Be sure to check out the details below in the Tips and Techniques section.
Miałam dużo zabawy z malowaniem tekturek w odcieniach pasujących do kolekcji. 

Tips and Techniques

What gorgeous papers to work with! I adore the birdhouse image, so used this Anemone Birdhouse Frame from the store along with the little bird from the Scrapiniec Spring Prodigy Bird Ave Set. These gorgeous flowers from Little Birdie coordinate perfectly with the background paper. The fabulous watercolor leaves are fussy cut from the Hello Spring 07 page.

Uwielbiam pracować z kolekcją Hello Spring, i ten domek jest cudowny.Dobrałam tekturkę z domkiem  Anemone i ptaszka z kolekcji Spring Prodigy ze Scrapińca.
Wszystko ze sobą świetnie współgra

A close-up of the flowers. You can see some of the flowers I fussy cut from the Hello Sping 06 sheet to tuck in around the edges of the cluster and stamens which I bunched together to add a bit more texture. The molded gear is brushed with gold art wax to coordinate.

I painted this sweet birdhouse portion of the frame with a wood grain to coordinate with the sweet birdhouse on the paper. I left the little bird untreated. The Scrapiniec chipboard hearts are painted in coordinating colors as well with this one strategically placed over the opening to the birdhouse.

Tekturkę budkę pomalowałam we "wzorek drewniany" nawiązując do wzoru na papierze ;)

The delicate flowers and leaves around the frame are painted and shaded. I adhered small rhinestones to the center of each flower using Bambino Glue. The background is stenciled with white gold icing paste using the fabulous SnipArt Damask Stencil.
Kwiaty i liście pocieniowałam i lekko podkolorowałam. Wszystko przyklejałam za pomocą kleju Bambino. Damaski z szablonu są wykonane z złotej pasty lodowej. 

I added a little cluster to the bottom corner that includes a snippet of Organza Rose Trim.

More of the painted Scrapiniec Confetti Hearts.

This sentiment from the Hello Spring 08 page is colored with Distress Ink and the heart is fussy cut from the 6x6" Hello Spring paper set. 

The card front is adhered to a 6x6" Blank Card from the store. I just adore these sturdy card bases that hold the weight of my mixed media creations so well.

Butterfly Mixed Media Card with Tracey / Mediowa kartka z motylem od Tracey

Hello Studio75 fans. It's Tracey back to share a dreamy butterfly card featuring gorgeous papers from  the Forever in Love and Violet Love collections along with a stencil, chipboard, and stamps from the Studio75 Store. Doesn't this fluttering butterfly showcase these fabulous papers beautifully?

Witajcie Kochani, Tracey z tej strony. Przybywam z kartką motylową którą wykonałam z papierów z kolekcji Forver in love i Violet love. Kartkę postemplowałam  i ozdobiłam szablonem oraz tekturkami.

  

 Tips and Techniques

The focal paper is from the 6x6" Violet Love paper pack. The edges are stamped with the Agateria Grille 3 stamp from the store using permanent brown ink and then rubbed with a bit of teal and light brown inks for a grungy effect.
Głowny papier pochodzi  małego bloczka Violet love. Brzegi postemplowałam Agateriowym stemplem.

The background behind the butterfly is also stamped with grungy stamps from my stash. The edging paper is from the Forever in Love 6x6 paper set and rubbed randomly with a little more brown ink to help it pop. I rubbed some of the same ink across the lace as well.
Tło pod motylem jest także postemplowane podobnie jak pierwsza warstwa papieru z bloczka Forver in love.

 The gorgeous butterfly is die cut with paper from the 6x6" Forever in Love paper pack. I rubbed teal and brown ink over the die cut pieces to color. To help the cutouts in the wings pop, I glued tan paper from the collection on the back of the wings to peek through. The Little Birdie flower is rubbed with a little brown ink to grunge it up and glued into the center of the butterfly. The wings are curled to give dimension.

 I also used a text stamp with brown ink on the paper before die cutting the butterfly. A flashlight bulb worked perfectly to create a head for the butterfly and the base is colored with metallic art wax.

Powyżej na zbliżeniu zobaczycie mini żarówkę, która świetnie pełni rolę motylowej główki ;) 

  

This fabulous Daisy Branches Miszmasz chipboard is absolutely perfect as a grungy trail for the butterfly. A mix of truffle and seafoam embossing powders are used to color. Bambino Glue is used to adhere the chipboard.

 

I just adore the SnipArt Up In the Air Damask Stencil from the store and used it here with crackle paste. I cut a piece of white crafting chicken wire to layer behind the butterfly and lace.

W tle zobaczycie wzór ślicznej, damaskowej maski ze Snipartu, przez którą nałożyłam białą pastę pękającą.

 The Studio75 Blank Cards are so sturdy and are perfect bases for my cards.
Bazy kartkowe Studio75 świetnie "udźwigną" cały mixed mediowy projekt ;)

Balon w stylu steampunk od Tracey / Steampunk Hot Air Balloon with Tracey

Hello dear Studio75 fans. It's Tracey back with a new project to share. I altered this amazing Woodouts Balloon Mixed Media Base with mixed media products and a combination of Scrapiniec Chipboard, Mitform Castings metal pieces, moulded shapes and vintage pieces from my stash to create this fabulous steampunk home decor piece. Check out all the details below in the tips and techniques section with lots of close-ups.

Tips and Techniques

 

 To add texture to the background of the Woodouts Balloon Mixed Media Base, I applied plaster paste through the SnipArt Up In the Air Damask Stencil. I just adore this design, and it has become of my favorite go to stencils these days. Once dry I spritzed with blue color mist then a small amount of beige and copper. I also misted with water to help the colors move and blend.

 

I just adore these Mitform Casting pieces. The Steel Padlock piece on the left is from the Studio75 store. The fabulous metal pieces available in the store can be found HERE. I rubbed the metal pieces with brass, bronze, and teal art wax to age with a little patina.

 

 I adore going to a large community yard sale with my sister every year, and I am always on the lookout for items I can use for my art pieces. This cool spark plug is one of my finds. The other metal pieces in this close-up are a combination of bought gears, and bolts along with pieces that I moulded, painted, and waxed to give this vintage patina effect. I also added art wax to the metal parts of the spark plug.

 

 More rusty goodness including rusty washers I've picked up on when I find them laying on the ground when I'm out and about along with vintage keys - another yard sale find.

 

This cool pressure gauge is also one of my finds. Doesn't it fit perfectly into the notch on the Mitform Castings Steel Padlock? A little moulded sprocket on the gauge adds to the steampunk feel.

 

 These fabulous Scrapiniec Chipboard Steampunk Flying Hearts XL Wings are a perfect fit across the Woodouts Balloon! I painted them with a mix of brass and teal paints, then rubbed with metallic art wax to add to the grungy aged metal effect.

 

 The Scrapiniec Focus Small Arrows were a perfect fit around this vintage drawing compass, and also added a few Scrapiniec Confetti Stars below the wings. These chipboard pieces were finished with the same products as the wings. I dyed some cheese cloth with the color mists and to tuck in for added texture. As I glued down the metal elements, the cheesecloth was secured in place. 

I brushed a mix of rusty/patina paints around the metal objects and spritzed with water so that it looks like they have been there and weathered to rust in place.

These faux metal chains are also from the Scrapiniec Steampunk Flying Hearts XL Elements set. Isn't it amazing how paint and waxes can make them look just like aged metal? I used a couple more Mitform Casting pieces to give definition to the balloon basked and added a vintage couple into the opening to enjoy the flight.

 

I used Bambino Glue to adhere beaded texture in place. Because it dries clear, it the perfect adhesive for these little bits of texture.
