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.
