Flying Unicorn - June Kit - XOXO!


Hello Paper and Uni friends!
It's that time of the month again that we at Flying Unicorn are proud to show you what we have designed with the kit this month. This month is a gorgeous combination of colors and products.


I started with prepping my background paper with clear gesso and cutting my other dark piece of paper in different sized triangles. Once dry I placed the triangles over the page. Again I covered the pieces with clear gesso. Around some of the Triangles I accentuated it with some extra color using the Prima Pastels. 


Now I got out the stencil and used it with the crackle paste. Randomly spread over the paste. It's best to let crackle paste dry on it's own for an optimum result. 


In the meantime I prepared the mould pieces. I first misted it with the Shimmerz Vibez - Palm Reader, let it dry and than put accents with the Prima - Color Bloom - Soft Teal - 573782 which was part of this months kit. The colors are a beautiful combination. Once this was dry I used Prima - Art Alchemy - Acrylic Paint - Metallique Silver Spoon -963101 and dry-brushed the pieces. 


Now that the background is completely dry it was time to color it. Let me tell this scares me to no end. Many a time I will ruin a layout doing this , so after the first mist spray I was ready to give up. It was time to switch it up. I had to use a brush to get a more controlled way of doing it. 


The flower arrangement is a mixture of Prima - Salvage District Flowers and the beautiful Petaloo-Garden Rosettes from the kit. Some Say-it-with Crystals bling and the gorgeous multi-colored Prills for some final beautifaction.


I hope you're enjoying your new kit and that this has inspired you a little.

More than Words - Mini Challenge - Time - Spending time Together Tag!



Hello paper friends!

Sharing with you my tag for the More than Words Challenge.

I'm on a bit of a Crackle binge. I've been playing with the new Finnabair paints, Crackle pastes and mists and just love the results.


Nothing is complete without adding some flowers of course.  A little bling does help too. There's so many colors to choose from and it will work for a lot of occasions.


Thank you for checking out my tag! 

Have a fabulous day!

Lydia

Crackle Tag!

Hello Paper & Uni friends.

It's Lydia here with a today post for Flying Unicorn. 
I recently watched a Ustream by Marta Lapkowska and loved how she started the background of one of her tags, so here goes my version of it. 


I started with a Prima Chipboard tag and painted it with the Prima - Art Alchemy - Acrylic Paint Metallique Rich Turquoise - 963231. These paints are just so great, I love the shimmer and they dry so quickly. Since it's the base layer I could quickly spread a thick layer of Prima - Texture Paste - Platinum Crackle - 961527. I placed my 2Crafty chipboard in the paste so it functioned as an adhesive as well. Since the layer was so thick I let it all dry overnight. 


The crackle really worked nicely and the blue still showed through it. I first misted the chippies with Prima - Color Bloom - Cobalt - 573898, dabbing the excess of, once dried I also misted it with the Shimmerz - Vibez - Palm Reader letting some of the residue dry up. It gives a whole mixture of colors.
The edges of the tag I dry-brush with Prima - Art alchemy - Acrylic Paint Metallique Steampunk Copper - 963064 with an extra layer of Tim Holtz - Distress Ink - Vintage Photo. I gave the chipies an extra bit of zing with Prima - Rub on Foil - Bora Bora - 585655. I put some of glue here and there and rub the foil over it and it stuck here and there. I like that grungy look.


Now that I have that part done I added 2 pieces of moulding. I made them with the Prima - IOD - Baroque 6 - 814823. I first painted it with Prima - Art Alchemy - Acrylic Paint Opal Magic Blue Gold - 963675 and dry brushed it with Prima - Art alchemy - Acrylic Paint Metallique Steampunk Copper - 963064. I glued it to the tag offset from each other.
Now it's time for adding some flowers. Prima - Kindled - Lush - 581428, Prima - French Riviera Flowers - 586218 and Prima - French Riviera Flowers - 586218. Putting some Prima string through the flowers. A final splatter with 13@rts mist and a couple of diamontes and the tag is all done.


I hope you like the project!
