Create and Inspire

  

I finally did it! My very first blog and it has only taken me about a year to do so. Blogging is not something I ever envisioned doing (because of time), but we'll see how it goes.  And to celebrate my first blog, I thought I'd share a little mixed media project that I created recently using some of the amazing Finnabair products.

I do like to scrapbook, but I love to play with mixed media.  And if I can combine the two, even better! I created these two mini canvasses to go alongside each other - CREATE and INSPIRE - because, as crafters, that's what we hope to do ... to create the things we love and to inspire others to do the same.

I love using Prima and Finnabair products on my mixed media projects.  The make mixed media so easy and so much fun.

I also love the combination of these two colours ... jade and purple.  I highlighted some of the elements with Finnabair gold wax to bring out some of the amazing details.




And micro beads ... who doesn't love gold micro beads?!




I added a bit of  Ranger "Mermaid" Liquid Pearls to the texture paste and I love the colour!

I do hope that this little project has inspired you to get creative and to go get your hands dirty ... who knows, you might just enjoy it!
