''Wonder'' - DT Canvas with ***VIDEO TUTORIAL*** for Mixed Media Place Blog

Hello dear friends and welcome on the blog!

Today I'm up on the Mixed Media Place blog and I would like to show you my latest project and I have also prepared a step by step Video Tutorial. This time I made a mixed media canvas with lots of Finnabair mixed media products and embellishments.

 

You can watch my creative process in my video below!

 

I started by applying White Crackle paste and when it was dried and the crackles were shown, I applied Finnabair Paper paste through the ''Swirly Florals'' stencil and heat embossed the pattern to make it more visible.

Then, I primed all the resin elements with Black Gesso and painted them with Finnabair Spark and Mettalique acrylic paints. The chipboard were also treated the same way.
When everything was dried I arranged all the elements around my photo and made several layers with flowers, resin and metal embellishments.

To finish the layout, I added glass beads and glitter with soft matte gel along with some glitter for more shine.

''Imagine… Believe…'' - DT layout for 49 and Market May Inspiration Part 2

 

Hello dear friends and welcome back on the blog!

Today, I am up on 49 and Market blog and I have to share my latest project created with the Vintage Remnants collection and gorgeous flowers in Sea Breeze and Linen tones. 

This time I decided to make something different and out of my comfort zone so I used a frame as a base of my project which is so similar to the frame on the photo. I have to admit that I really enjoyed it a lot and I hope you like it too.

For the background, I used the ”Paper No 10” sheet and started by priming the paper with clear gesso. When the gesso was dried, I added some texture with Finnabair icing paste in White Gold and a stencil and continued by coloring with Lindy’s Gang spray in Midnight Rendezvous Raven color.

Some of the resin elements were colored with Finnabair acrylic paint in Steampunk Copper and randomly applied White Gold wax. The rest of them were first primed with black gesso and then colored with Mystic Turquoise and White Gold waxes.

The Dusty Attic ”Leafy Frame No 2” chipboard was primed with black gesso and colored with Finnabair Opal Magic Aqua-Rose paint. Mystic Turquoise and White Gold waxes highlighted some details on them. The ”Clockworks” chipboard was painted with Finnabair Sparks Raven Black acrylic paint and White Gold wax.

Next, I added several gorgeous flowers from Seaside Blooms, Blossom Blends, and Garden Seeds in Sea Breeze and Linen tones. Then I arranged all the elements around my photo by making several layers with all of them.

To finish, I added glass and microbeads along with glitter for more shine.

''Explore Dream Discover'' - DT layout for More Than Words Challenge Blog

Hello dear friends!

Today, I'm here to share with you my layout for the More Than Words blog.

Here is our challenge board...

Word Inspiration - DISCOVER

Creative Challenge - OLD STASH

"Life is a journey towards the unknown, so get out on the way with a dream. At every step, wonder, explore, DISCOVER, and amaze." I don't remember who said that, but since I've read it I've kept it in mind. My canvas is based on this quote, and for the creative challenge, I used some pearls and lace from my OLD STASH.

To start, I covered the canvas with white gesso and when it was dried I created texture by applying graphite texture paste through a stencil and heat embossed the pattern with the Lindy's Stamp Gang Midnight Bronze powder.

I added color with the ''Dark Chocolate Truffle'' Lindy's spray. I used several 49 and Market stamps to make my background more interesting.

I used the Finnabair Sparks ''Steampunk Copper'' acrylic paint to color the Dusty Attic ''Skeleton Clock Face'' chipboard which I placed behide my composition. Next, I made several layers with lots of beautiful 49 and Market flowers and die cut shapes from the Vintage Remnants collection.

When everything was glued down, I added pearls, beads and sprinkled a little glitter on them.

That was all from me my friends!

''Collector of Memories'' - DT layout for More Than Words Challenge Blog

Hello dear friends!

Today, I'm here to share with you my layout for the More Than Words blog.

Here is our challenge board...

 Word Inspiration - FAVORITE

Creative Challenge - SCRAPLIFT YOURSELF

 I chose to SCRAPLIFT my fave canvas which I made about a year ago. I used a different photo, but I kept the same design and colour palette as it's one of my FAVORITE colour combos.


Here is the original...

 

...and some close ups of the new one...

To start, I covered the canvas with white gesso and then, I applied some white crackle paste here and there to created more texture.

I added color with the ''Whale Watch Blue'' Lindy's Gang spray. I made a little stamping and then heat embossed the pattern with the ''Midnight Bronze'' Lindy's powder.

 I used the Finnabair Sparks ''Magical Pond'', ''Ice Queen'' and ''Steampunk Copper'' acrylic paints to color the resin frame. I finished it up with some ''Bronze Age'' wax. I treated the same way all the Dusty Attic chipboards I added.

When everything was glued down, I added some art stones, beads and sprinkled a little blue glitter on them.

That was all from me my friends!

''Happiness'' - DT Canvas with VIDEO TUTORIAL for The Dusty Attic Blog

Hello everyone!

I'm back tonight to share with you my latest project made for the Dusty Attic blog for my October inspiration. I have also prepared a video tutorial so you can see all the details!

I made a romantic canvas in pink and purple tones with lots of flowers and gorgeous chipboards.

Here are some close ups...

I created the base with a paper from 13arts Art Journey collection. To create an interesting background I applied some modeling paste through a stencil and then heat embossed the pattern with the Lindy's Gang Hollyhock Scarlet Plum embossing powder. Also made some stamping here and there and again heat embossed the pattern to have even more textured background. Then, I used some sprays to add color. 

 Next step was to emboss and paint all the chipboards. I started with the ''Ornate Motifs #2 '' & ''ATC Frame #7'' which were embossed with the Lindy's Gang EP ''Midnight Ruby''.

 The ''Hashtag Sayings'', the ''Mini Clock Faces'' & ''Page Pebbles #9'' were also embossed with the Lindy's EP ''Angel Wings Ruby''.

I painted the ''Doodads #4'' & the ''Ornate Motifs #2'' with the Finnabair Sparks ''Iris Potion'' paint. Then I randomly rubbed a little Rose Gold wax.

 When everything was glued down I added some art stones and glass beads and made some splatters with white gesso.

Mini Decorative Scroll #1

 Ornate Motifs #2

''Journey'' - DT Layout for Mixed Media & Art Blog September Moodboard

 

 

Hello dears!

Today I'm up on the Mixed Media & Art blog with my very first post as a member of this amazingly talented team. I'm so excited and I hope I'll give you some inspiration with my work!

Olya's moodboards are my most favorites! Truly inspirational with amazing sketches, textures and colors...

When I saw September's board I wanted to create an altered project. Don't know why cause it's not my usual style but I knew I had to give it a try. So I altered a frame... hope you'll like it...

I got my inspiration from the color palette, the textures and the elements. I tried to follow the sketch and I used the word Journey as my title too.

To create my project, I took a frame and I glued on it's cardboard some ''Metal Plates'' Dusty Attic chipboards. Then I made my cluster with chipboards and metal embellishments and covered everything with black gesso. Applied here and there stone effect pastes for more texture and then I used metallique paints and rust pastes from Finnabair to color my project.

That's all from me today!

Hope to see you on our challenge!
