Moment

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new masculine layout as 
Design Team member for 2Crafty 
Chipboard with you all today using some of the
steampunk chipboards as well as paper and 
embellishments from the 13arts
Industrial Zone collection.

I prepared the background of my layout by 
stenciling with a combination of gel medium 
and Golden Calcite Color Glow.



Some chipboard pieces were painted with
black gesso and then lightly painted with 
the Color Glow diluted with water.



The rest of the chipboard pieces were 
painted with the Color Glow added to 
liquid acrylic medium.



Once my layout was completed, I lightly 
brushed the edges of the chipboard pieces 
with white gesso and lightly rubbed them 
with bronze wax to give them definition.



Chipboard pieces which I used on my layout include


I hope that this layout has inspired you in some way.

Let your feet wander and your eyes marvel

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout as Brand Ambassador for 
Penelope Dee using the beautiful new 
WILD AND FREE collection.


I prepared the background of my layout by stenciling
with a combination of gel medium and green shimmer paint,
combined with a small amount of black gesso
to deepen the colour.



The chipboard leaves were painted with sand paint, 
lightly heat embossed with Sage embossing powder 
and then rubbed with green wax.



I added the leaves, together with elements 
from the cut-out sheets to frame my photograph.


I hope that this layout has inspired you.

You shine

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new project for 13arts with you all today,
a mixed media wooden canvas as inspiration for the 
June Mood Board Challenge on Instagram.

For this project, I used papers and embellishments 
from the steampunk INDUSTRIAL ZONE collection.  
I love the elements of this collection which are 
perfect for this month's mood board.


I prepared the background of my project by adhering 
paper from the collection onto my canvas and 
giving it a good coating of clear gesso.
I then stenciled onto the edges my canvas of my 
canvas with gel medium and then added Rusty 
Bronze Powder to the gel medium while it was wet, 
shaking off all of the excess powder.
I then added the Reagent to the powder allowing 
it to turn the powder into a rust effect and 
left it to dry completely.

I also combined Golden Calcite Color Glow
powder to gel medium and stenciled around the 
edges of my canvas, dragging some of the product 
along the edges with my spatula.



Resin embellishments were painted with Golden Calcite 
as well as Andalusite Color Glows combined with 
liquid acrylic medium.



Gel medium, Rusty Bronze Powder as well as Reagent 
were also added to the bottom of the bulb as well as 
some of the resin embellishments.




Chipboard embellishments were painted with 
Andalute Color Glow combined with liquid acrylic medium 
to give them the silver/brown effect.




Once everything had been adhered to my canvas,
I gave most of the embellishments a light 
dry brush of white gesso.


I hope that this project has inspired to create 
one of your own for this month's 13arts challenge.

Precious moment

 


Hello creative friends.
I am sharing a new layout as Brand Ambassador for Penelope Dee
using the gorgeous new MEMOIRS collection.
I love the greens botanicals combined with 
the pink flowers in this collection.  So very pretty!

I prepared the background of my layout by 
layering papers from the collection and then 
adhered them to the left side of my base page.


I stenciled onto my layout with a combination of 
two different embellishment mousses, allowing 
the product to dry completely.


Chipboard elements were painted with pink paint.



I layered embellishments from the cut-out sheet 
together with flowers around my photograph 
to create depth.




I hope that this layout inspires you to create one 
of your own with these beautiful products.
