Industrial

 

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as Design Team 

member for 13arts with you all today, 

a standing wooden canvas using paper 

and embellishments from the 

INDUSTRIAL ZONE collection 

and, of course, 13arts products and mediums.

I must admit, as you can see from previous projects, 

I am always drawn to the steampunk and industrial 

elements of this collection and tend to 

use it more than the others.

I love the browns and greys of this collection

which allow you to create anything

you desire.

I prepared this canvas by adhering paper 

from the collection to my canvas with gel medium 

and then gave it a generous coating of clear gesso.

Once the gesso was dry, I diluted a combination of 

Tiger Eye as well as Andalusite Color Glow with 

liquid acrylic medium and added the colour 

around the edges of my canvas, spraying it 

with water to allow the colour to move 

on my canvas.

I then stenciling along the left and right sides 

with modeling paste, allowing it to dry completely.

Once I was sure that everything on the canvas 

was dry, I stamped around the edges with clear 

embossing ink and then added white embossing 

powder, shaking off the excess before heat 

setting with a heat gun.

I painted my resin pieces with black gesso, 

drying it completely before applying the 

same two Color Glows to it.  Once it was all dry, 

I dry brushed everything with white gesso.

I adhered all my pieces to my canvas together 

with ephemera and cut-outs from the collection 

as well as metal cogs and gears.

Some splashes of brown and white completed my project.

Thank you for stopping by.

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new project as Design Team 

member for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all 

today using some of the beautiful chipboards 

in the collection.

This time I altered a wooden panel with some 

stamping and stenciling.

I adhered my paper to the panel with 

gel medium and gave it a good covering 

of clear gesso.

When the gesso was dry I added stenciling 

around the edges of my panel and then, 

when the modeling paste was dry, I added 

diluted paint, spraying it with water 

to allow the colour to move along the panel.

Once the product was dry, I added Tiger Eye 

Color Glow to gel medium and added 

stenciling in brown, dragging the product 

onto my panel as well with my spatula.

I painted the clock faces in brown paint 

and then lightly dusted them with white gold 

embossing powder and heat set the powder 

with a heat gun.

The wings, title and geometric arrows were heat 

set with the same embossing powder.

The 2Craft chipboards which I used on 

my project are

I hope that this project inspires you in some way.

I am so blessed

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new single layout as Brand Ambassador 

for Penelope Dee using the gorgeous new 

YOU-NIQUE collection.

I love the bright bold colours in the collection 

which match my photograph perfectly.

I prepared the background of my layout by layering 

some of the papers and then stenciling around 

my main composition with crackle mousse, 

allowing it to dry completely to bring out the cracks.

I layered cut-outs from the collection around my 

photograph together with flowers and chipboards.

I diluted some of the crackle mousse 

for splashes to complete my layout.

I hope that this layout inspires you.

Life is short. Take the journey.

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new layout for 

2Crafty Chipboard with you all today 

using some of their beautiful chipboards 

as well as paper from Penelope Dee's 

ESSENCE collection.

I prepared my chipboard pieces by first 

painting them with green metallic paint 

and then lightly rubbing them with orange wax.

I gave the title a generous coating of 

orange wax and then painted it with 

copper glitter acrylic ink.

Of course, my layout wouldn't be complete 

without layering cut-outs from the collection 

together with some flowers.

The 2Crafty chipboards which I 

used on my layout include the following ...

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing a new double layout as 

Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee with you all 

today using the new WILD AND FREE collection.

I created this layout using photographs 

of a very special, fun family holiday a while back 

which go really well with the papers 

in this collection.

I layered the different elements and 

cut-outs from the collection on my layout, 

raising some pieces to give depth.

Chipboard pieces were painted with

green paint.

So many leaves to cut out to create depth 

and an outdoor feel for my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing a new layout as Design Team member for 13arts

using the soft and romantic MAGNOLIA DREAMS collection.

I prepared the background of my layout by coating the paper

with a good covering of clear gesso.

Once the gesso was dry, I mixed Rose Quartz Color Glow 

with gel medium and stenciled

onto the paper using two different stencils.

I also applied the gel medium along the sides and top 

of my layout using a spatula, dragging the product 

in a downward motion.

I painted the resin piece with Amber Color Glow 

with liquid acrylic medium and then, once dry, 

I dry brushed it with white gesso.

I dry brushed the gesso onto the flowers

as well.

Splashes of white ink completed my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.
