Altered frame - by DT Zanka

Hello!
Today is my last post, ending my DT term for Zeus and Zoe DT.

I have saved some best pieces of my DT pack for this project:) It's an altered wooden frame, a wall piece.

Some close ups:

I adhered pieces of scrapbook papers and vintage prints to the frame, using mod podge.

A beautiful flower by Prima accompanied by vintage buttons and metal butterflies. Most of the embellishments I painted with gesso. The centre of the biggest button I filled up with the mini pearls.

For the background I used pieces of fabric and laces which I stained with glimmer mists.

Supplies: Papers, vintage prints, buttons, laces, flowers, metal embellishments : Zeus and Zoe
From my stash: chipboard text, glimmer mists , gesso, mini pearls, mod podge.

Thank you so much for our time together at Zeus and Zoe ! I had lots of fun working with the unique mix of brand and vintage items.
With love!
DT Zanka

Beautiful - mixed media canvas by Zanka

Hey there:)
I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!
In my last DT post I hinted that I might continue playing with a self-made background and so I did :)

Today I have a mixed media canvas to show, with the background made from scratch, that is using pieces of vintage papers and magazines which I found in my Z&Z kit.
I adhered the pieces randomly to the canvas using modpodge and I sealed the surface with matte medium.
Then I white-washed the whole background with gesso and added some splashes of colour, coordinated with the colours of the picture wanted to use.

I particularly like the authentic vintage laces which were also included in my kit, here I used pieces of it to add some dimension.

Here you can see the 'work in progress' shot, when the bacground was ready and waiting for the rest of embellishments to arrive:)

Thanks for stopping by at our Zeus and Zoe blog!

Timeless - Layout by Ayeeda

Hi, it's Aida  here with my last project for Zeus and Zoe. It's been a huge pleasure to work with Marivic's gorgeous products. Over the past four months I've tried to show you how you can use these products in different ways, and how vintage style can mix well with mixed media. 

For my last post I have decided to create a layout with beautiful papers and embellishemnts from Zeus and Zoe. I made a lot texture with flowers, laces and other embellies, I put a gesso over it and added some inks, and the colors match perfectly now:) 

Here is my LO 

Timeless

Thank You again for trusting me, for giving me a great opportunity Marivic. I just love your products and I wish you and Zeus and Zoe all the best:*

Mini album by Ayeeda

 Hello, It's Aida again with my new project.

For today I have prepared a mini album, based on wonderful heart shaped canvas base from Zeus and Zoe.

 To decorate the cover of album I added some mists and modeling paste which I applied with a stencil. Then I added a chipboard and few metal embellishments, some decorative ribbon and button from Zeus and Zoe. I used all beautiful canvas hearts and then added few more cut out shapes from paper to create this album. I used some paints, gesso, washi tapes and stamps too. You will find some tissue paper and laces from Zeus and Zoe here and there too:)

Here is the cover of the album from our Croatia vacation last summer:

Please have a look at all 12 pages:) It's all a bit messy, but fun, and very quick to create.

Hugs,

Aida

Hello, It's Aida here with my new project for you:)

Our theme at Zeus and Zoe this month is "Steamy Chic" and we have amazing "Inspiration Board" made by Charlie:)

I was inspired by soft colors and steampunk drawing to create this piece. I used gorgeous white fabric and few beautiful old cards and documents as a background - they are really precious. You can find them in Marivic's beautiful kits on Etsy. I added a page from an old book too and then added a little color to it.  

Few metal embellishments, some laces, some stamps and mediums (13 arts gesso, water ink and gel medium) and the project is ready:) 

Have a great weekend,

Hugs,

Ayeeda

Romantic card and tag by Ayeeda

Hello, It's Aida here with my new projects for September.

Our theme at Zeus and Zoe this month is Frills and Romance and we have amazing "Inspiration Board" too. 

\

I do not create many romantic projects, but sometimes  every girl likes to make something with pink, frills, laces and roses:) This time I created a card, matching tag and a little pendant. I used a lot of beautiful laces, flowers and jewelry embellishments to create this projects. You can find them in Marivic's beautiful kits on Etsy. I added a little bit of 13 arts paints, mists, gel medium and gesso.

To create this card I started with sticking some laces to the background, then I added some flowers and other embellishments using gel medium as a glue. 

Then I added some colors (paints and mists) and gesso on the top of it.

At the end, I added more gel medium and strewed some silver microbeads over it.

I used the same techniques to create this tag:

 

And at the end I created this really easy, but very beautiful pendant (I love the quote too;) 

I took ready-to-use embellishment from Zeus and Zoe, then I added a silver chain, more silver jewelry parts and a ribbon:

 

I hope you like my projects :)

Hugs,

Ayeeda
