My Sunshine

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a canvas which I created as Design Team member for 13arts and 

as inspiration for the March Mood Board Challenge.

I prepared the background of my canvas by adding small micro beads to gel medium

and then applying this paste around the canvas to give texture.

Once this was dry, I covered the canvas with a coat of white gesso and allowed it to

dry completely.

I then added Tourmaline Color Glow with Acrylic Liquid Medium and painted

the top of the canvas, spraying it with water and allowing the colour to flow down

the canvas two-thirds of the way down as well as along the edges of the canvas.

I then added a bit more of the Color Glow to the Liquid Medium to make it darker

and repainted it as the top, lightly spraying it with water to allow it to flow.

I wanted to create an ombre effect so didn't want the darker colour to flow too far down.

Once this was dry, I added Bronze Shiny Powder to gel medium and applied it

lightly around the top and side edges of my canvas.

The resin pieces were painted with white gesso and then, once the gesso was 

completely dry, I painted them with a combination of Ruby Color Glow 

and Cinnamon Pastel Spray.

The chipboard elements were painted with diluted Bronze Shiny Powder.

I hope that you like this project and feel inspired to create a project 

of your own for this challenge.

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a mixed media album which I created for 13arts for February.

Once I had measured and cut all of my patterned paper, I prepared all of the papers by first 

adding a layer of clear gesso and then stenciling here and there with modeling paste.

I then added stamping around the edges and then applied a mixture of gel medium and 

Tiger Eye Color Glow around the edges with a spatula.

Once that was dry, I added Old Gold Glitter Ink on the pages with a spatula.

I allowed the ink to dry and then adding black gesso around the edges to 

give them definition.

Adding the little Printer's Tray on the front of the album was a really fun part 

of the process.  This was a little of box which originally had wooden embellishments in.

I painted it with black gesso, added Color Glow and then, once all the embellishments 

were added, I added white gesso.

I also added green splashes of colour throughout the album by adding green and black ink 

together to get the exact green that I was looking for to match the papers from the collection.

I will leave you with some of the pages from the album ...

I hope that you like this album.

Until next time!

Hi everyone.

I am sharing my new layout created as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee

using the beautiful new collection "Forget me Not".

Before adding any embellishments and my photograph, the background of the layout 

was prepared by stenciling with crackle paste and then applying the paste in the area 

where my main composition would be.

The resin embellishments were painted with black gesso before adding purple paint 

as well as bronze paint and wax.

I added bronze paint to gel medium and applied this as well as purple paint around the edges 

of the layout as well as around the composition.

Once this was dry, I added more of the crackle paste to soften the colours.

I hope that you like this layout.

Until next time!
