need you around

 Hello dear friends! 

Today I'm guest designing for Berry 71 Blue!

Kay Fatula created an amazing moodboard as a tribute to motherhood...

I have to admit that I fell in love with this amazing moodboard. I got inspired not only by the neutral earth colors but also by the motherhood theme which touched me deeply as being a mum of two children is the most important thing in my life.

So I decided to make a canvas:

For this project I used three shades of Lindy's Gang Stamp sprays and embossing powders (on the chipboard pieces): grey, beige and gold to match the color combo of the photo and the moodboard. I also used black watercolor on some spots to create a little bit of contrast. I chose only a few embellishments because I wanted to focus on the photo and the background, which is created with stamps, a stencil and the above colors. The paper, sticker and chipboard I used are from 7 Dots Studio 'Soulmates' collection.

You can see more detail at Berry 71 Blue's post :)

Thank you for visiting,

have a lovely crafty time!

searching for the meaning

Hello dear friends! 

Today I'm sharing a canvas Ι made for Lindy's Stamp Gang 

with the May 2015 Limited Edition Spray Set.

For this project I used all the sprays of the set, plus the Cosmic Pink Blue and Queen Sheba's Silver embossing powders.

In order to create a mixed media background I decided to do something different that usual: I put away my stencils and used a stamp with the two shades of embossing powders. I really love this bright effect and I'm deferentially satisfied with the result!

Of course I did a lot of painting and splashing with the sprays and had fan :)

I also prepared a video for you with the process! 

Here are some shots of the details... 

...and here is the video:

I hope you enjoyed today's project and got some ideas!

Have a lovely crafty time!

altered globe

Hello everyone!

Today I'm guest designing for ASSORTI with an amazing traveling challenge:

I decided to do something different  than usual, an altered globe! I got so much inspired by the photo of the challenge with this small cute globe, that my mind went straight to a small globe I already had bought a while ago.

 Ι didn't want to change it entirely because I really love the earth colors and ocean blue, so I just used different alphas (some of them are turned into black with LSG embossing powder)

 to write my sentence on the globe and on the car and gold acrylic to paint the black base stand.  I also glued a button on the top of the base stand...

For the wood veneer car, I used a Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powder to turn it into black and two different buttons for wheels. I also used some gold wire to place the car on the globe. 

That's all!
