'enjoy' tags

Hello dear friends!

Today I'm sharing a fun and colorful project I created for ColourArte.

A couple of tags for two special friends of mine.

For this project I used:

ColourArte products:

• Twinkling H2Os Watercolors:   African Jade, Summer Breeze, Sky Blue, Pink Crocus, Lemondrop, Dreams Bloom, Hopeful Honeysuck
• Radiant Gels: Blue Pearl, Emperor's Gold
• Silks: Black Ice

Other supplies:

• 2 Tags
• Finnabair White Heavy Gesso
• Finnabair 3D Gloss Gel
• Finnabair Art Ingredients
• Finnabair Stamps
• 2 flowers
• 2 buttons
• 7 Dots Studio paper and tags
• 2 Crafty Chipboard
• thread
• canvas paper
• ribbon

So. lets get started!

First I applied with a spatula the two different colors of Radiant Gels. They are so soft and shiny and dry very quickly!

After they were dry, I glued everything down and grabbed my H2Os. I sprayed some water and waited a couple of minutes...

I painted with a paintbrush here and there with all the colors of the H2Os. I also painted the ribbons. I really love this colorful result!

The 'enjoy' chipboard is painted with the Black Ice silk...

Last thing to do was to glue some Finnabair Art Ingredients (glass beads and glass glitter) on several spots and make some splashes with white gesso.

That was all for today :)

Have a lovely crafty day!

Brokenness

Hello mixed media friends!

Today I'm hosting the Mixed Media Place blog!

I found this beautiful and interesting photo on pinterest and my mind went straight to my black journal. I used a lot of media to create a dark and mysterious background, a couple of 2Crafty Chipboard frames to embellish it and alpha stickers to write the title:

'She always had a way with her brokenness'.

 In order to create a mixed media background, I used from Finnabair Basics Heavy White Gesso, Modeling Paste and Matte Soft Gel. First I used a doily stamp with black embossing powder. I melted the embossing powder and glued some paper stripes here and there. Then I used the Modeling Paste with a stencil and a beautiful background stamp with black ink.

Then, I glued the chipboard frames and painted them with Black Silks. I also used the Iridescent Copper Silks on some spots.

Next thing to do was to write the title. I used alpha stickers from the 7Dots Studio Domestic Goddess collection. I sealed them with Soft Matte Gel and made some doodling with the Uniball White Pen.

As some final touches I glued some Mulberry Flakes (I absolutely love this color!!!) with the Soft Matte Gel and made some splashes with the White Gesso.

I hope you got some ideas on how to create a dark and mystery background!

Till next time,

have a lovely crafty day!

Enjoy every moment

Hello dear friends!

Today I'm sharing a fun and colorful layout I created for 2Crafty Chipboard.

I had this cute photo with my daughter playing and painting at school, 

so I wanted to make a cute and playful page.

I chose from the Word Circles Set 1 the words 'smile', 'happy' and 'today' - they are so cute for this page and I love how they look in the composition!

I also used a butterfly and a doodle frame.

I order to alter my chipboard pieces, I used watercolor paints H2Os and I painted them with a paintbrush.

For the circle words I also spread some embossing powder here and there to make it look even more interesting. I really love the result!

For the doodle frame I used the same colors I used on the rest of the chipboard pieces.

I cut it in half and placed the two parts in different spots to make the page look more funky.
