''Dandelion Wishes'' - DT Mixed Media Card for Lindy's Stamp Gang with a VIDEO TUTORIAL

Hi there sweeties!

It’s Mary here with you today with my farewell post for Lindy's Stamp Gang. It has been one amazing year and I feel so honored for being a member of my dream team. Thank you so much Tracey and Kate for the wonderful collaboration but mainly thank you for your trust in me. You are such a kind and sweet ladies both of you. Love you!

But for now, let's take a look at how I made this gorgeous mixed media card
using Flat Fabio Sprays and Embossing Powders from Lindy’s.

For my card, I used papers from the 7dots Studio ''Cotton Candy'' collection. I started by covering my card with clear gesso. When dry, I applied modeling paste with a stencil.

I glued down some torn papers, tags and elements to give more interest to my card and I added more stenciling. Then, I colored the card by splattering it with Kissin' Kenickie Coral and Merci Beaucoup Mint sprays.

I heat embossed the chipboard with Cleopatra's Copper embossing powder.

I also heat embossed the Dandelions chipboards with the Desert Moon Turquoise embossing powder.

To finish, I made some splatters with white acrylic artists ink. 

Here are some close-ups so you can see all the details.

I have also made a video tutorial with the procedure.

''Happy Birthday'' - DT Layout for More Than Words Challenge Blog

Hello dear friends and Happy New Year to all!

At More Than Words challenge blog we celebrate our 2nd birthday and the challenge theme is about a birthday celebration.

 Word Inspiration - BIRTHDAY
 Creative Challenge - TAGS

The word inspiration BIRTHDAY brought to mind balloons, happiness and love. So, I made a page based on a photo of a woman on her birthday with lots of balloons and happiness. For the creative challenge, I used 2 TAGS layered behind my photo.

Here are some close ups of my layout...

  The paper I used is the ''Sincerely'' from the 7dots Studio ''Writer's Blog'' collection.

To start, I covered my page with clear gesso. I created texture with modeling paste and a stencil and then, I heat embossed the pattern with the ''Angel Wings Gold'' Lindy's Gang embossing powder. Next, I used the ''south Shore Sand'' and the ''Dark Chocolate Truffle'' Lindy’s sprays to color my page.

 I painted all the chipboards with the Finnabair metallique ''Steampunk Copper'' acrylic paint. Then, I rubbed them with the ''Bronze Age'' wax. All the chipboards I used are 2Crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

When everything was glued down, I added some ''Copper'' glass glitter and ''Bronze'' micro beads. I finished my page by making some splatters with white gesso.

 

That was all from me my friends!

''Christmas Joy'' - A DT Layout for 2Crafty Chipboard with a Video Tutorial

Hello dear friends!!!

 Tonight, I'm up on the 2Crafty blog with my last post as a design team member. It's so hard for me to step down from a team that I have been a member for more than one year. It has been one of the best teams ever and I am so honored I was a part of it. I had a really great time creating with these gorgeous chipboards and I really hope to return in the future.

But for now, let's take a look at the projects I made for my December inspiration.  

I created a layout and a Christmas home decor on wooden slides and both are having video tutorials.

My first layout was made with lots of flowers, some Christmas embellishments combined
with some beautiful chipboard pieces.

You can watch the VIDEO TUTORIAL with the procedure here. 

 I based my page on the 13arts ARTelier December sketch challenge.

2Crafty Chipboards used... 

 Stars
Swirly Star Border
Xmas Mini Word Pack
 

 Here are some close ups...

 First, I made a mixed media background with modeling paste and a stencil and made some random stamping. Then, I added color with the ''Pastel Cobalt'' and the ''Pastel Lavender'' 13arts mists.

 I painted the ''Stars'' and the ''Swirly Star Border'' chipboards with the ''Gold'' splash ink.

The title words from the ''Xmas Mini Word Pack'' was also painted with the ''Silver'' splash ink.

Finally, I added some ''Natural Mika Flakes'' and made  some splatters with ''White'' splash ink.

Well, that was all about the first one...

 

...come in a while for the second layout coming in a while... 

''Dream a Little Dream'' - DT Layout for Maja Design December Inspiration

Hello dear friends!

Today, I'm up on the Maja Design blog and I have a new layout to share with you. 

A Christmas page made with the new collection ”Joyous Winterdays”.

 As usual, I found that photo on Pinterest and combined it with two papers of that gorgeous collection, lots of beautiful flowers, some chipboards and several Christmas embellishments. But, before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ”unknown” photographer.

For my background, I used the ”Pick a Tree” paper on the back side and made two layers on it with torn pieces from the ”Outdoors” paper  using both sides of it. First, I gave my background a coat of clear gesso. When it was dried, I added some texture with snowflake paste and a stencil. I continued by coloring my page with Lindy’s sprays ”Sea Grass Green” and ”Rusty Lantern Lime”.

I painted the snowflake chipboards with the opal magic ''Aqua-Rose'' acrylic paint. The flourish chipboards and the title was also painted with the ''Fairy Wings'' acrylic paint sparks. As usual all the chipboards I used are 2crafty.

When everything was glued down, I made some splatters with white gesso diluted with some water.

Papers used:

  

That’s all for today, my friends!

Thank you for stopping by!

''5 Forever'' - DT Layout for Lindy's Stamp Gang Color Challenge & More Than Words Challenge Blog

Hello dear friends!

We finally are on the last month of this year and new challenges are up on the Lindy's Stamp Gang 

and the More Than Words challenge blogs. 

As you propably have already guess this time I combined these two challenges because they were matching perfectly.

  

 Word Inspiration - FAMILY 

Creative Challenge - NUMBERS

 In my mind, FAMILY and Christmas are tightly connected, so when I saw that word, I decided to create a Christmasy layout. I used a photo of a baby to represent my three kids when they were so little on their first Christmas. I added the NUMBER 5 for the creative challenge as we are 5 in our family. 

Here are some close ups...

I used the ''Ephemera'' paper from the Maja Design ''Joyous Winterdays'' collection. 

To start, I covered my page with clear gesso. When it dried, I created texture with modeling paste and a stencil. Next, I used the ''TiffanyLou Blue'', ''Medieval Gold Glitz'' and the ''Poinsettia Red Gold'' Lindy’s sprays to color my page.

I heat embossed the ''Deer Head'' chipboard with the ''Caesar's Gold'' Lindy's Gang embossing powder and all the other chipboards with the ''Desert Moon Turquoise'' powder. Then, I rubbed a little white gold wax on the star chipboard. All the chipboards used are 2Crafty and the flowers are Prima Marketing.

When everything was glued down, I added some art stones and made some splatters with white acrylic artist ink.

Thank you so much for your time!
