FUL - September - OTP - Box


Hello Mixed Media and Flying Unicorn friends!
Welcome to another installment of our monthly Off the Page project. 
The Flying Unicorn kit this month has a cute this month has a cute little box. Perfect to use as a gift box or as decoration around your home.  


I always like the use the papers in our kits when working with the OTP. I lstarted of with painting the lid of the box and the top edges. I just love the Metallique paints by Prima. The sheen on them is fabulous. Lucky for us the Pink Blush was in this months kit. The paint dries quite quickly. I lined the rest of the inside of the box with the paper from the Bellarossi 6x6 collection.
After the Pink Blush paint I dry brushed the lid with 3 different paints. Very lightly mind you. I did not want to loose the pink, but did want to give it a little accent. The last was a dry coat with Gesso.
Once that was dry it was time to get the stencil out and I used it with the Graphite paste.


I had taken the hinges and lock off so I could get all the paper nicely glued under everything. I chose the black and white paper since it is a nice contrast with the pink. For a nice accent I used a Christine Adolph Rub On and a foil to give the box just that little bit more. 
Now that the box itself is decorated all that's left is some final touches on the top of the box. I used part of the Petaloo vine and a Prima flower. Some of the ribbon with Scrapiniec chipboard pieces and we're all done.

Prima - August CAT Challenge - Love!


Hello Paper Friends!

Another month and another fabulous sketch from Rikka Kovasin at Prima Marketing for the Card and Tag challenge. I've been enjoying them a lot since they started. Here's my third entry. I hope you all like it. 

I went for an older collection paper. The Epiphany Collection was one of my favorite. I'm sure the new Rossi Belle will take it's place soon. I mostly followed the sketch as my interpretation.


I fuzzy cut some small parts from one of the 6x6 ages and used the darkest page as my background. I used gesso as a whitewash and with the stencil. 


Once this was dry I used the Color Bloom spray to create a drip effect and some splatter.



One of the little sheets has little labels, so I went with the peach/orange color as the contrasting color and cut that one out and a larger piece of the similar background.


Now it's time for the flower arrangement and for such a small projects it's funny that I managed to use flowers from a few different collections. They do work nicely together. 


For a final detail some splatters. 

Below is the list with used items:

Prima - Epiphany - 6x6 pad - 846961
Prima - Heavy Gesso - 961442
Prima - Esperanza - Trella - 581916

FUL-MTW-Time with you - Our Day - Best Friends!



Hello Paper friends!

Thank you for letting me share with you another today post! 
For this layout I used our very own wonderful Flying Unicorn - Your Passion Your Art August Kit!
There was so much in the kit this month and it gives us so many options to work with. 
 Also submitting this layout into the More Than Words Challenge for August. 
The link for the challenge blog is here: More Than Words Blog


I actually wanted to use the sheet with all the details as the back ground but since I used all the fuzzy cut pieces on several projects I went and looked through all my papers and found a similar page to substitute. Since it only showed a small edge, problem solved. 
I made the edges wet of the pink page to make it easier to distress the edges. 
A friend of mine had gone to one of the latest Tim Holtz classes and came back with one of his newest stencils not for sale in the shops. She gave it to me, so I feel very lucky!  
I used it on this layout with a combination of Gesso and Modeling paste. Once dry I used 2 different prima stamps to bring in some more back ground details.


Now that the background is done it's time to start with the layers. I cut some pieces from the Lemoncraft - Just Love Me - 04 sheet and I had a piece left over from a Studio 75 sheet. Using the strips that were cut off the striped paper as part of the layering as well. Sliding in a doily and the new Snipart Chipboard pieces. The color scheme fits perfectly with the Prima - Garden Fable chipboard pieces, so I added some of those to my layout too.  


The flowers in the kit this month are a perfect match to all the colors in the paper. I love making these arrangements. It's the complete package. Love the little flowers. 


Adding the titles, some final touches like the lace and jute and the layout is complete.

FUL - August - Canvas - Angel




Hello Uni and Mixed Media friends!

I'm still in awe of the 2 classes with Finnabair I took recently. Of course I was eager to immediately try some of the things I had learned on the canvas we got in the Flying Unicorn August Kit. So for this blog post just pictures no explanations. I'm not giving away any of the fabulous things she teaches you. You'll have to experience them for yourself.


I'd recommend taking a class if she ever visits a local store, you will use these techniques for years to come in many many Mixed Media Projects.
