Unicorn Love for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

I have a couple of friends that love unicorns but one in particular who saw this picture and loved it so I HAD to make her something with it 
So for my Memory Maze project this week this was created for her

Because the photo is so colourful I wanted the background to be neutral and simple but still have texture

So I started off by using texture paste through the Mini Divided Heart Stencil once each layer dried I went over it again for extra height

I then used clear gesso over the top of them and made sure I carefully pushed into the divided lines of the heart 

I stamped archival in with the Vintage Baroque Stamp randomly over the canvas but because there are so many raised areas it didn't show up very well

On the word Unicorn I used Colour Embossing Powder in Snow White which showed up silvery because I painted the all the embellishments in black gesso

Here I spray Colour Shimmer Spray in Dusty Charcoal to enhance the grooves in the hearts 

I used the Unicorn from the Set that has a few different sizes, the word and some stars in it 

With the medium Unicorn I used Colour Embossing Powder in Bling

I also used it on the arrow

I used the Unicorn Acrylic White and the Double Heart Vintage Frame which I also used the bling Colour Embossing Powder raising two of the corners up using the Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots it's great for having height without having to use white dots that you can see

Here I filled the glass bottle with little beads I have a heap of and used a flair button from Flutterby Designs

I Believe in ART for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This week on the Memory Maze Blog I created a mini canvas with a quote I thought most craft/art people would understand and appreciate 
Make sure to check out the Blog and take a look at everything else that's going on over there

I painted all the chipboard with white gesso first to prime it all for what I was going to do next

On the frame I used the Frank Garcia Artisan Powders to make the chipboard look like timber

The Colour Shimmer Sprays I used in Just Blue, Singing the Blues, Envy and Snow White I used to make my painting in my frame and add to the jar of water to make it look like it had been used for the painting and the Bling I used on the paper clay key hole I painted a few layers to get the depth of colour I wanted

 Colour Paste in Fire Engine, Sunshine and Singing the Blues not that you can see the Sunshine through the Paint Brush Stencil Jar splats to add to the art part of the canvas

It's a great stencil as it has the jar, the brushes and the splats 

 I also used the Colour Shimmer Spray Fire Engine Spray on the handles of the scissors painting it on a few times so it came out nice and deep and then used some Finnabair Old Silver Wax on the blades to make them look more like real scissors lol

On the border I used Colour Shimmer Cube Tangerine Dream 

I added a Heart from Charms Creations and a flair button from It's and Bits Craft Supplies 

And loads of flowers lol

Bottle for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This weeks project is for the Helmar blog make sure you check out the rest of the blog and see what the rest of the Design Team have been up too

I was given this bottle and loved the shape so thought why not decorate it

I also created a Youtube video here's the LINK 

These are the Helmar glues I used through the whole process for the metal and heavier things I used the Premium Craft Glue, for the string and large beads I used the Super-Tac Glue and the Tacky Craft Glue I used for all the little beads and paper clay 

I used a stencil randomly over the bottle with some texture paste then painted it with black gesso

I also wound string around the top and bottom of the bottle for more texture

I used some muslin over the bottle for some added dimension

I then started adding my embellishments using the different glues depending on what I was putting on the bottle

Making sure to add something to the lid

Then covering the whole lot in black gesso 

Then I chose 5 different colours of the Finnabair waxes - White Gold, Rose Gold, Old Silver, Vintage Silk and Turquoise Satin which is the main colour I used on the whole bottle

Thank you for visiting and I hope you come back soon x

My Dear for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

So for my Colour Blast project I decided I'd use this little 

shadow box kit I had bought awhile ago

I thought it would make a cute little picture frame 

Don't forget to check out the Blog for more inspiration from the rest of the team and also see the latest Kit Club designs

I started off by painting everything with Colour White Gesso to give and even coat and for all the products to adhere to the timber evenly

On the inside of the shadow box I used Colour Paste Tangerine Dream and on the outside I used Stormy Weather

I then used Colour Shimmer Cubes (which I shouldn't use as we don't have them in stock I'm just lucky enough to have the whole set of these) but I'm building on my Colour Shimmer Sprays collection and don't have those colours yet 

So I used Tangerine Dream and Stormy Weather in those to paint some of the timber areas like the stand, the scroll at the top and around and inside the shadow box

I then painted the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Chipboard Stickers with the  Colour Shimmer Brush Markers - Sliver on the deers head and then Clear on the flowers underneath him and then on the frame around the photo and the arrows and hearts then a little on the all the flowers (once you start you can't stop) they just add that little extra touch

I also used the Silver on the scroll at the top of the shadow box

And added a Cocoa Vanilla Studio Flair Button inside the shadow

box
