Complexity and Simplicity

Happy September!

Our new challenge at Scraps N Pieces is up!

My art journal page is about Complexity and Simplicity.

I tried to include in one page two different styles...

For this project I used ColourArte products (Primary Elements, H2Os, Silks and Vivids) to color it

and Finnabair Art Basics Products (White Heavy Gesso and Modeling Paste), stencils and stamps.

Chipboard pieces by 2Crafty Chipboard.

You can find a journal like this at The Journal Shop.

The butterflies are handmade by me :)

So, I hope I see your creation at Scraps N Pieces blog, 

for a chance to win a beautiful collection by Crafty Impressions.

You can create any type of project as long as it's relative with our theme

 "Opposites Attract"

for example black-white, male-female, day-night, past-present, etc.

Thank you for visiting,

I created a Layout based on Prima's BAP August challenge.

I hadn't really created for a long time something just for myself, as I'm always too busy with the design teams...I enjoyed it :)

My page is based on Prima's BAP sketch made by Riikka Kovasin...

Tiny roof tiles *video

Hello :)

My new tutorial for ColourArte is here:

I altered these cute tiny roof tiles in order to give them as a gift appreciation to my daughter's teachers. They already have them and both loved them :)

The ColourArte products I used to paint them are:

Primary Elements

Summer Breeze

Mystique

Sunflower

Spiced Pumpkin

Autumn Leaf

All Purpose Clear Glaze Medium 4oz Bottle

I mixed the Primary Elements with the Glaze Medium and made custom waterproof paints.

You can see all the process in my video, I hope you will enjoy it!

Bunny in a hat *with video

Hello dear friends!

Today I'm sharing my new project I created for Finnabair Creative Team!

This is the second card I'm altering from a card set I got from Ikea a long time ago.

I had so much fun painting and decorating this cute bunny and I'm happy to share the whole process in a video with you.

I started with covering the background with Heavy White Gesso in order to mute it a little bit and used some Art Alchemy acrylic colors in shades that matched the card's colors: Fresh Orange, Royal Red, Steampunk Copper and Black Berry. 

I also used all these beautiful colors to paint the chipboard pieces and all the metal embellishments...

I love doodling on my projects and this time I used a black permanent pen, as well a white pen.

The several stamps I used created a really messy and interesting background and helped me create even more texture with a fun technique I did on White Heavy Gesso - you can watch all these tricks in the video below.

I hope you will enjoy my video and maybe get some ideas to create your altered card!

Thank you for visiting,

have a lovely crafty day!
