'You are Unique' layout for Finnabair CT

Hello dear friends! 

Today I'm hosting Finnabair's blog with a layout and a video tutorial!

I found this amazing photo on Pinterest and thought it would be perfect to express some thoughts and personal believes: How awesome is to be me! To be different from the rest of the crowd and feel good about it! 

So, I created a layout full of colors, contrast, little messages, butterflies and a really beautiful elephant :)

For this project I used a lot of butterfly stamps in different shapes - you can find them in Rust&Dust and Dream On sets. I decided to cut out my stamped butterflies and turn them into 3D embellishments to decorate the composition.

I also used a Lace stencil in a different way, 2 shades of Mica Powder (Green and Purple), Heavy White Gessoand of course a lot of Glass Beads and Glass Glitter mixed with 3D Gloss Gel.

You can see the whole process in my video below.

Here are some details...

I hope you will find my video inspiring and get some new ideas!

To create this page I got inspired by this amazing color pallet at  Berry71Blue...

Tiny canvas 'LOVE'

Hello dear friends!

Today I'm sharing a tiny canvas I created for 2 Crafty Chipboard

for a friend of mine as a present.

It only measures 8x7 cm and I really love how small and cute it looks.

Even thought it is so small I managed to use 7 chipboard pieces and 2 metal pieces  to create a dimensional cluster like a pyramid!

This is how it looked before I altered the chipboards and paint it all.

In order to alter the chipboard pieces I used H2Os watercolors and silks by ColourArte and black embossing powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang.

First I created a mixed media background and then I started gluing all the embellishments with 3D Gloss Gel.

I really love how this tine mixed media pyramid looks!

Here are some closeups with details...
