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.

Cherish this moment

Hello again creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as 

Design Team member for 2Crafty Chipboard 

with you all today.

I altered my chipboard pieces by first 

painting them with Sand paint and then, 

once dry, I lightly brushed them with a 

copper paint.  Once the copper paint

was dry, I lightly coloured certain elements

of the chipboard embellishments with

a blue paint.

I layered different ephemera together 

with rub-ons to frame my photograph

and to establish my main composition.

Splashes of blue and copper ink completed

my layout.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.

Be amazing today

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new project as 

Design Team member for 13arts with you 

all today ~ a canvas using the Beautiful 

Moments collection.

I tore and layered paper from the 

collection and adhered them onto 

my canvas, covering the paper at the 

top with clear gesso.

I added stamping around the 

edges of the top of the canvas.

I stenciled onto this paper and then, 

once dry, I applied a mixture of modeling 

paste with texture powder around the 

edges with a spatula, allowing it to 

dry completely so that the 

cracks would form.

Once everything was dry, I added 

Tiger Eye as well as Jadeite Color Glows 

individually, spraying with water so that 

the colour would move and drying 

between each application.

Resin embellishments were painted with 

Tiger Eye Color Glow with liquid acrylic 

medium and then, once dry, were dry 

brushed with white gesso.

I added elements from the cut-out sheet 

together with flowers and other 

embellishments.

I hope that this project has inspired  you.

Hello creative friends.

I am sharing my new layout as 

Design Team member for 2Crafty Chipboard 

with you all today featuring some of the 

beautiful chipboards from the collection.

I altered the Hibiscus frame by first painting 

it purple and then, once dry, I lightly heat 

embossed it with gold embossing powder.

I painted the title with emerald green paint and 

then lightly heat embossed it in gold.

I altered Ava's frame by heat embossing it 

completely in gold. Some of the thinner 

part of the frame got 

hidden under my photograph,

but the main part is still visible.

I painted the flourishes with emerald green paint.

I arranged these elements around my 

photograph together with other embellishments, 

rub-ons and flowers.

I hope that this layout has inspired you.
