''Stronger Than Yesterday'' - DT Canvas for More Than Words Challenge Blog

Hello dear friends!

I'm back today to share with you my project for the August challenge at More Than Words blog.

Here is our challenge board...

Word Inspiration - YESTERDAY 

Creative Challenge - VINTAGE

I love creating vintage-style projects, and this month's word inspired me to make a canvas with an old photo of a beautiful young woman who lived in the 1900's. I used a sticker that states ''Stronger than YESTERDAY''. I added a fancy antique frame and some lace flowers as part of the VINTAGE creative challenge.

Here are some close ups...

 

 To start, I covered the canvas with clear gesso. Then, I created texture with crackle paste and a stencil and made some stamping here and there.

I added some color with the ''Dark Chocolate Truffle'' and the ''Clam Bake Beige'' Lindy's Gang sprays.

 I used the Finnabair ''Rustic Brown'' and the ''Steampunk Copper'' acrylic paints to color the resin frame. After that, I gently rubbed on it with a small brush some ''White Gold'' and ''Rose Gold'' waxes. I've also treated the same way all the Dusty Attic chipboards too.

When everything was glued down, I added some Copper Glass Glitter and Bronze Micro Beads and sprinkled a little glitter too. 

To finish, I made some splatters with white gesso diluted with some water.

That was all from me my friends!

''Dreams'' - DT Canvas for Maja Design July Inspiration

Hello dears!

Tonight, I'm up on the Maja Design blog and I would like to share with you my project for my July inspiration. A soft romantic canvas on the shades of blue and beige with lots of flowers, chipboards and IOD moulds.

As you may already know, I love searching on Pinterest to find photos to scrap and this time I came across with that photo. And, the beautiful papers from the ''Crea Diem'' collection was just perfect for it. But, before I continue more I want to give all the proper credits to the ”unknown” photographer.

I used the ''Må du leva och växa'' paper for the ''Crea Diem'' collection. To start, I glued down the papers and I applied a coat of clear gesso. When it was dried, I added some texture with modeling paste and a stencil.

I made some random stamping and then I used the Baby Blue Eyes Aqua Lindy’s Gang spray to color my page. 

  

I colored the ''Doodads #6'' and the ''Iron Garnish #6'' chipboard with the Raven Black sparks acrylic paint.  The ''Delicate Frame #3'' chipboard was also colored with the Magical Pond paint and the chipboard title with the White Pearl. The chipboards I used are from Dusty Attic. 

  

When everything was glued down, I added some art stones and I made the final touch with some splatters with white gesso diluted with some water.

That’s all for today, my friends!

''Happiness is the Beauty of Little Things'' - DT Layout for The Dusty Attic Blog

Hello everyone!

I'm back tonight to share with you my latest layout made for my July inspiration at the Dusty Attic blog. 

I choose the ''9mm'' paper from the 7dots Studio Dreamscapes collection and I started by applying clear gesso on the background. Then I used a stencil with modelling paste and heat embossed the pattern with the ''Pop Rock Purple'' Lindy's Gang embossing powder to create some texture.

I added color with the ''Urban Amethyst'' and the ''Pop Rock Purple'' Lindy's sprays and made some splatters with white gesso diluted with water to soften a little bit the colors.

  I painted the ''Lavender'' chipboards with the ''Iris Potion'' sparks acrylic paint.

The ''Creative Script'' and the chipboards from the ''Mini Tabs #5'' and the ''Page Pebbles #3'' were also painted with the ''Dragon's Eye'' sparks acrylic paint.

I glued everything down and added a few Dusty In Bloom ''Grassy Knoll'' along with the purple flowers to make some contrast.

''Sun Kissed'' - GD Layout for Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo Challenge Blog

Hello dear friends!

''SUN''

You can watch all the procedure an the video tutorial I have made for you...

And here are some detailed photos too...

For my layout, I used papers from the 7 Dots Studio ''Hazy Days'' collection and my main paper is the ''Oil Spil''.  

First, I created texture by applying modeling paste through a stencil and when dried, I added color with ''Dark Chocolate Truffle'' and ''Grab a Guy Gold'' Lindy's gang sprays.

I heat embossed the word title from the ''Mini Captions #12'' with the ''Golden Angel Wings'' Lindy's embossing powder. 

The ''ATC Frame #6'' & the ''Decorative Scroll #1'' chipboards were also embossed with the ''Bratwurst Brown'' powder and then I randomly rubbed a little ''White Gold'' metallique wax on them. All the chipboards I used are from the Dusty Attic.

When everything was glued down, I added some ''Plum'' glass beads, ''Bronze'' micro beads & ''Copper'' glass glitter and made some splashes with white acrylic ink.   

That was all from me my friends! I hope you will enjoy it and inspire you a little bit with my work.

As we are almost in the middle of summer we have a new summery challenge.

 

 

Word Inspiration - BEACH

Creative Challenge - SEASHELLS

My family vacations are totally connected with the BEACH. Here in Greece, we have some of the most beautiful beaches, and in the Summertime we love to spend our free time there. I used a photo of a beach for the word inspiration and added lots of SEASHELLS for the creative challenge.


Some close ups...

For my layout, I used papers from the Maja Design ''Denim & Friends'' collection. My main paper is the ''Summer Shirt''.

 To start, I covered my page with clear gesso. Then, I created texture by applying modeling paste through a stencil and when dried, I added color with the ''Baby Blue Eyes Aqua'' and the ''Dark Chocolate Truffle'' Lindy's Gang sprays.

I painted the ''Iron Garnish #3'' and the ''Scroll Set #1'' chipboards with the Finnabair Sparks ''Magical Pond'' acrylic paint. The ''Foliage #12'' and the chipboard title were heat embossed with the ''Aged Ivory'' Stampendous embossing enamel. All the chipboards I used are Dusty Attic.  

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

That was all from me my friends!
