Trust your own madness

Καλή χρονιά σε όλους!

Εύχομαι το 2016 να είναι μια υπέροχη και δημιουργική χρονιά γεμάτη χαρά και υγεία!

Όπως κάθε μήνα, στο Scraps N pieces σας έχουμε μία ολοκαίνουρια προκληση:

We are all mad here

 Βρείτε μία τρελή, αστεία, παλαβή φωτογραφία! Θυμηθείτε μια τρελή στιγμή, κάτι παλαβό που κάνατε... Journal a quote για την τρέλα... ή εμπνευστείτε από την Αλίκη στη χώρα των θαυμάτων... τραπουλόχαρτα, τρελές γάτες... τσαγιέρες... ;)
O τίτλος ελεύθερος 

Φτιάχνετε ότι θέλετε όπως πάντα, είτε σύνθεση, κάρτα, art journal σελίδα,
mixed media καμβά, altered item...

Για τη σελίδα μου στο Μαύρο Journal χρησιμοποίησα:

 2Crafty Chipboard για τη λέξη MAD, Finnabair βίδες - διπλόκαρφα, και πλαστικό χόρτο.

Αφού το κόλλησα πρώτα, τα έβαψα με ιριδίζοντα silks της ColourArte.

Επίσης χρησιμοποίησα μάυρη Lindy's Stamp Gang embossing powder και Finnabair Glass Glitter τα οποία κόλλησα με  3D Gloss Gel. 

Για να γράψω τον τίτλο χρησιμοποίησα το Uni-ball άσπρο στυλό, με το οποίο έκανα και μερικά doodles (πώς είναι αυτό βρε παιδιά στα ελληνικά; χαχα) γύρω από τις βίδες
-οι βιδες ειναι συμβολικές όπως ελπίζω να καταλάβατε, χαχα-

Hello dear friends and Happy New Year!

This is our brand new challenge at Scraps N pieces.

.........

I made a page at my black journal about the madness some of us have in our personality.

Of course I mean the good madness, the kind of madness all artists have :)

If you can trust your own madness, you can do amazing things while you creating, don't you think?

For my project I used 2Crafty Chipboard letters, some Finnabair screw brads and plastic grass.

I painted all with Iridescent silks by ColourArte.

I also used a little bit of Lindy's Stamp Gang black embossing powder here and there, as well some Finnabair Glass Glitter with 3D Gloss Gel. 

For the tittle and the doodling I used the Uni-ball white pen. 

Here are some details...

Περιμένω να δω τις όμορφες δημιουργίες σας!

Altered star for Christmas

Happy Sunday everyone!

Today I'm sharing an altered fabric star I created for ColourArte.

For this project I used:

ColourArte products:

• Twinkling H2Os watercolors: Pale Porcelain, Warm Gray and Blue Ice

Other products:

• Finnabair products: White Heavy Gesso, 3D Gloss Gel, Ephemera vintage photo, glitter, Glass Beads, Pearls and Glitter, Metal embellishments
• 2Crafty chipboard star
• 7 Dots Studio sentence sticker
• lace
• buttons
• shinny black grass
• wire

First I attached the wire on two sides of the star to create a hanger. I also hanged a cute tassel at the underside of the star. How cute is that?! I removed a couple of beads of the tassel and attached on the wire.

Then I applied white gesso with a sponge all over the star.

Next thing to do was to alter the chipboard star.

I painted it with the warm gray and pale porcelain H2Os and spread some glitter on it.

I really love these two shades, I think they are perfect for vintage projects!

I let it dry.

Then I cut with scissors the little girl from a Finnabair's Ephemera vintage photo and glued it on the chipboard star. I glued all the embellishments on the fabric star with 3D Gloss Gel and spread glitter and Glass Beads here and there.

As some final touches I used with a paintbrush the  Blue Ice H2O here and there.

Despite the red shades of the project, I decided to use blue color because I always like to add a little bit of blue on vintage projects.

With this project I'm playing at:

7 Dots Studio 'Cold Weather' challenge.
Despite the red shades of this project, I believe it creates a cold vintage feeling.

I used stickers from Yuletide collection.

Art Sandbox challenge 'hanging on a Christmas tree'

So, that was my altered vintage inspiration for today.

I hope you got some ideas :)

Have a lovely crafty day!
