Always

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new project with you all

as Design Team member for 13arts ~

a grungy layout featuring the 

Grungy Winter collection,  

together with 13arts mixed 

media products and mediums.

I prepared the background 

of my layout by stenciling with a 

combination of multipurpose gel medium 

mixed with Andalusite Color Glow as well as a 

mixture of the medium together with Goldstone 

Color Glow.  I stenciled these mixtures in 

different areas on my layout, dragging 

my spatula downwards to create a 

grungy, messy look.

I splashed onto the background with 

Gold spray and allowed these mediums to dry 

before adding anything else to my layout.

I added ephemera and cut-outs for the

collection to frame my photograph.

The chipboard title was painted with a 

combination of acrylic medium together 

with Goldstone Color Glow.

I hope that this project has inspired you.

Feel free

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new project with you all

as Design Team member for 13arts ~

a bright canvas featuring some of the 

February products of the month including the 

Carmen collection as well as other accessories, 

together with 13arts mixed 

media products and mediums.

I prepared the top section of the background 

of my canvas by first painting it with white 

gesso and then mixing pink Color Glows 

to acrylic medium, painting stripes 

onto the canvas, adding more powder to 

darken the medium so that I would 

get a contrast between the colours.

Once the stripes were dry, I mixed 

texture powder to modeling paste and added 

this between the pink stripes, allowing it 

to dry for the cracks to form.

I adhered pink paper from the Carmen 

collection at the bottom of my canvas, 

tearing some extra pieces and adding them 

above the pink paper.

I then stenciled onto the bottom as well as 

the top sections of my canvas.

I painted my resin embellishments with 

black gesso and then, once dry, I painted 

them with gold shiny powder added 

to acrylic medium.

The owl was painted with white gesso 

and then, once dry, I painted it with green 

Color Glow added to acrylic medium.

I added flowers and other embellishments 

to my canvas, lightly brushing them with 

white gesso once I was complete.

Thanks for stopping by!

Journey

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new project with you all

as Design Team member for 13arts ~

an earthy layout featuring the 

beautiful Paint your Life collection 

together with 13arts mixed media 

products and mediums.

I prepared the background of my layout 

by adding sticky glue along the lines 

of the page and then, once sticky, 

I added gilding flakes to the glue, 

brushing off the excess once everything 

was dry.

I painted the chipboard embellishments 

with Golden Calcite Color Glow combined 

with liquid medium.  Once that was dry, 

I lightly brushed them with gold paint.

Other embellishments and splashes of 

colour completed my layout.

Hope you get the opportunity to create 

with these amazing 13arts products.

 

Full of Wonder

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my a new project with you all

as Design Team member for 13arts ~

a mixed media wooden canvas featuring the 

stunning new Grungy Winter collection 

together with 13arts mixed media 

products and mediums.

I prepared my canvas by first painting it 

with white gesso.  I then stenciled onto the 

centre of my project with a combination of 

Labradorite Color Glow and modeling paste, 

dragging the edges of the stenciling 

downwards with my spatula.

Once everything was dry, I combined 

texture powder and modelling paste 

thoroughly and added this around the 

edges of my project with a spatula, 

not too thickly, but just thick enough for 

deep cracks to form.

I then mixed Andalusite Color Glow 

with water and added this colour to my 

project, spraying with water and allowing 

the colour to run from the top of the canvas 

down towards the bottom.  I then dried 

everything thoroughly before adding 

any embellishments.

I painted chipboard pieces with 

Andalusite Color Glow and then lightly 

brushed them with silver paint.  

I did the same with the resin frame.

Of course, I had to add splashes of paint 

and ink to complete my project.

Thank you for stopping by.

 

Paint your Life

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my first project for 2025 with you all

as Design Team member for 13arts ~

a mixed media wooden canvas featuring the 

beautiful Paint your Life collection 

together with 13arts mixed media 

products and mediums.

I started my project by adhering paper from the 

collection to my panel and then stenciled with 

modeling paste, dragging my spatula 

downwards from the stenciling

to soften the edges.

I then combined Golden Calcite 

Color Glow with gel medium and 

added stenciling around the edges 

of the panel with my spatula, 

using the same technique of

dragging the colour downwards.

I painted all chipboard as well as 

resin embellishments with

black gesso.  I then mixed 

Golden Calcite and Aventurine 

Color Glows separately with 

liquid medium.

I painted all resins and chipboard pieces 

with Golden Calcite and then, 

once they were dry, I lightly brushed the 

chipboards here and there 

with Aventurine.

I lightly brushed the resin pieces with 

white gesso and then added some of the 

Aventurine to them as well.

The copper pieces on my project 

were a gold metallic sheet which I 

painted with the Golden Calcite, 

tearing pieces and adding them to my project.

Some splashes of white ink and other 

colours used completed my project.

I hope that this project has inspired you.
