Spring

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing a new project as Design Team 

member for 13arts with you all today as 

inspiration for the April Mood Board 

Challenge at 13arts.

I prepared the background of my canvas 

by painting pastel sprays vertically,

Once the colours were dry, I applied 

white ink inbetween the colours, 

spraying with water so that the 

ink would run downwards.

I also mixed modeling paste and texture 

powder together and applied this mixture 

around the edges of my canvas, 

allowing it to dry completely so 

that the cracks would form.

I then arranged elements for my 

main composition from the 

cut-out and foil sheets together with 

flowers and other embellishments.

I hope that this project has inspired you 

to create one of your own for the April Challenge.

 

Shine

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing my new layout for 2Crafty today ~

a mixed media layout featuring some of the

beautiful chipboard from the collection.

I prepared the background of my layout 

by stenciling with gold paint added 

to gel medium.

I painted my chipboard pieces, except the title, 

with black gesso and then, once dry, I lightly 

rubbed them with a vintage gold wax.

I painted the title with gold paint.

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

Trendy

 

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as Design Team 

member for 13arts with you all today using 

the amazing CITY LIGHTS collection.

I painted my resin piece with white gesso 

first and then, when dry, added diluted 

Raspberry Metallic Paint to give it colour.

I added some stamping down the sides of 

my layout as well as some stenciling.

I then added elements from the papers and cut-out 

sheet to frame my photograph together with flowers 

which I dry brushed with white gesso 

to tone down the bright colours.

Splashes of the raspberry paint as well as 

white ink completed my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Discovery

 

Hello creative friends.
I am sharing my new layout as Design Team 

member for 2Craft Chipboard with you all

today using some of the amazing

chipboards from the collection.

I painted the chipboard pieces with an 

avocado green paint and then, once dry, 

I lightly painted them with Golden Calcite (copper)

Color Glow diluted with water.

Once I had added all ephemera and details 

around my photograph, I added stenciling with 

a combination of gel medium and the copper Color Glow.

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

Garden of Love

 

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as Design Team

member for 13arts with you all today ~

a round wooden mixed media canvas

using ephemera from the 

SECRET GARDEN collection.

I painted the canvas in black gesso and 

then stenciled onto the canvas with 

gel medium mixed with black gesso.  

Once this was dry, I repainted the 

canvas with black gesso.

Once everything was dry, 

I combined Emerald Color Glow with 

liquid acrylic medium and painted the 

colour onto the stenciling, spraying 

with water so that the colour would move.

Once dry, I lightly dry brushed the 

stenciling with white gesso.

I painted resin embellishments with 

white gesso and then, once dry, I 

lightly painted with Emerald Color Glow 

mixed with liquid acrylic medium, 

drying the colour before adding 

Tanzanite Color Glow as well.

I combined flowers and ephemera around 

my main composition before adding 

splashes of white ink.

I hope that you are inspired by this project.

Go See Do

 

Hi everyone.

I am sharing my new layout as Brand Ambassador

 for Penelope Dee with you all today using 

the new EXPLORER collection.

I prepared the background of this layout by 

stamping at the bottom and top edges of my 

layout and then stenciling with 

Aloe Vera embellishment mousse 

in places that would still be visible 

when I added all other elements.

I added different elements from the cut-out 

sheets and added these around 

my photograph, painting the word "see"

 as well as adding splashes of diluted 

mousse to complete my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.
