FUL - July Kit - Grow!


Hello Paper & Uni Friends!

Sharing with you the wonderful Flying Unicorn Your Passion Your Art July Kit. This month we're 
having the brand new 4 and Market papers and flowers. Lucky us, don't you think!


I started with putting clear gesso on my page. I already knew I was going to do some mixed media so this would help. Some stamping around the page. Mixing a few different mists to get the right color. I like to use a Prima ink spot stamp to help get my mists on the page. I feel it gets a more controlled effect. Once dry I used the Prima Gold Crackle with the Tim Holtz stencil.


The Chipboard I covered with the wonderful Finnabair rust pastes. The little Wood Icon Ferns and tittle I painted with the Ancient Coin paint in the kit. I made some layers with the papers from the Prima - Vintage Emporium 6x6 Collection and 49 and Market papers, also cutting a doily. 


Time to get is all assembled now. The photo is from 2001, my kids are still so young, we were visiting the Netherlands and they were having fun with their cousins. Since our move in 1998 a rare occassion. 
The flowers I put on either side of the photo tying the colors nicely together. Tucking in some of the fabric we got in the kit. Adding the tittle some final splattering with the Teastain Color Bloom and some white watered down gesso and we're all done.

More Than Words - Mini Challenge - Art


Hi Paper fans!

Sharing with you the card I made for the More than Word Mini Challenge.


Kept it fairly easy with some layering and fuzzy cutting. Created a little extra dimension using netting and twisted cord around it. The little feathers on the paper I cut out and coated with platinum crackle. 


I seem to like using crackle medium a lot lately. It gives a nice surprising texture. The copper one has a rich color too. Love the details on the 7 Dots Fortune-Teller collection!


Below the list of used items:

7 Dots 6x6 Fortune Teller Collection
TCW - 454s Mini Specimens Stencil
Prima - Texture Paste - Copper Crackle - 961534
Prima - Texture Paste - Platinum Crackle - 961527
Thickers - Amy Tangerine - Journal - Alphas
Netting

Thank you for checking out my blog!

Have a great day!

Mixed Media Place Challenge - Always follow your Dreams!




Hello Paper and Mixed Media friends!
I just dropping in to share with you the latest layout I've made. 


Entering this one into the Mixed Media Place Challenge. 


I used the 7 Dots - Verano Azul collection. The papers are divine. 


The chipboards is 7Dots and Scrapiniec.


I started with the Christine Adolp Adhesive Rub-on and used the copper colored foil with it. Then moved on to mixing some Prima modelling paste and copper paint. 
With the secon stencil I just used white Gesso.


Around the areas with paste I splattered with a variety of mists and watered down acrylic paints.
The Finnibair Melange I first painted and then I coated the copper ones with crackle.


In between the layers I used Prima trim. The trim is gold, but I painted it with the Steampunk copper & Brass Hardware paint.


The final piece is the metal embellishment. 


The mood board for Mixed Media Place Is just amazing this month. I had a lot of fun making this layout.

Thanks for looking!
