Wildly dreaming

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing a new layout as Design Team 
member for 2Crafty Chipboard with you all today 
in shades of blue and purple and featuring some 
of the beautiful 2Crafty chipboards.

I painted the floral corners with purple paint 
and then lightly brushed them with copper paint.
Parts of the corners were hidden under papers 
so I cut those parts off and placed them so 
that they would be visible on my layout.



I painted the Aztec arrow and checkerboard 
pieces in copper paint.


Resin pieces were painted in blue and purple, 
lightly brushed with the copper paint and 
then lightly rubbed with wax,


Splashes of paint completed my layout.

Chipboards included on my layout are ...



Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful


Hello again creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout as Design Team 
member for 13arts with you all today using 
papers and embellishments from the 
stunning new SECRET GARDEN collection.


I stenciled onto the background of my layout 
using modeling paste and then, 
once it was dry, I applied green glitter 
ink onto the edges of my layout 
using a spatula.




I also added some stamping using blue metallic ink.


The chipboard gate was painted with 
watercolour spray and then, once dry, 
I applied green glitter ink to the gate.


I added ephemera and chipboard around 
my photograph together with flowers,
completing my layout with splashes of colour.




I hope that this layout has inspired you 
to create your own.

Memories

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing my new project as Design Team 
member for 13arts with you all today, 
a vintage mixed media canvas using 
embellishments from the END OF SUMMER 
as well as MAGNOLIA DREAMS collections 
and, of course, amazing 13arts products 
and mediums.

I prepared the background of my canvas by 
combining Tiger Eye as well as Golden Calcite 
Color Glows separately with gel medium 
and then applying both colours to my 
canvas using a spatula.

Once these were dry, I combined Texture 
Powder to modeling paste and applied this 
around the edges of my canvas, covering 
the colours in places.  
Once the cracks formed, the colours 
were visible through the cracks.
I also added some stenciling with 
modeling paste onto my canvas.




I painted my resin pieces in brown paint 
and then added Golden Calcite Color Glow 
combined with liquid acrylic medium.
Once dry, I lightly brushed them all 
with white gesso.




I added diluted Rose Quartz as well as 
Tiger Eye Color Glows around my 
main composition for depth and definition.




I hope that this project has inspired you.
