So I started off with painting the timber tag with white gesso and then sponged it with some Finnabair Art Alchemy White Pearl
I glued the flowers on with the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

I had a little chipboard house which I also painted with white gesso then I glued that together with the Super-Tac Glue and added extra cardboard to the back so it would be level with the roof so it would stick flat onto the tag
I painted everything I used with Finnabair Art Alchemy paints the house is Opal Magic Yellow - Blue

The metal was painted with the Opal Magic Rose - Gold 
This piece I bent in half and cut bits off the ends to fit the roof for some added texture

The fairy was painted with 
Sparks - Dragons Eye, Unicorns Hair, Opal Magic Blue - Gold, 
Metallique Vintage Rose

Amazing for Memory Maze


Hey Everyone

My turn on the Memory Maze Blog
Remember to check out the rest of the Design Teams work for some inspiration
And ask your local or online store to order in the Memory Maze products you see that you really MUST have - they have new stock all the time so make sure you check out the site yourself 

This photo is just is just beautiful and speaks volumes 
This is my cousin's husband - Kadex
He's Balinese and as you can see a very calm person they look like they really have a connection

I kept the page simple because the photo says it all


I used clear gesso on the paper first to prep it for any mixed media products I may use on it

I used the Flower Stencil with some 3D Matte Gel on the background paper just for some dimension




Then with all the chipboard  Hearts a pair and Moments Like These I used some Colour Blast Colour Embossing Powder in Sienna - I picked up the colour on the Elephants trunk

I used some Finnabair Mechanicals they look like lotus flowers

Eyes of an Owl for Colour Blast


Hey Everyone

My turn on the Colour Blast Blog
Make sure you check out the rest of the blog to see what the Design Team have been up too 
And check out the links on the side of the blog for the links to all our Social Media Links

I have an obsession with Owls there's something magical about them
This ones eyes have such depth 


I used Colour Artist Ink Rust with a touch of water

I used paper from the Limited Edition Collection - Imperfect oh my this range is awesome so steampunk but light enough that you can add more depth and texture too it
I used the Peony Dreams Stamp from the Spread your Wings Collection randomly over the paper
After stamping I dripped some of the rust down the page



Adding some water sprays along the way to help it spread


And using the Heat gun to move it around
I also spray some Colour Spray - Mocha on the background for more depth
I decided I wanted to use the Graffiti Grunge Collection - Linked in Die but I didn't want to use another paper so I cut out the middle of the paper I was using and ran it through my Die Cutting machine twice as the paper is quite thick

Colour Blast also have small stencils that aren't on the website (contact them they usually have them at craft shows) I used 3D gel with the grass looking one on the stencil 3 times 
I know Colour Blast know longer have the Colour Shimmer Cubes (you can still find them at some online stores) but the colours are perfect for what I needed 
The resin owl was from a kit I bought from Art and Soul Studio (it was one of their monthly kits and because it had an owl I had to have it)
I started of by spraying him with Mocha Colour Spray then added Leather, Sienna and Bling Shimmer cubes to him 
His beak I added some Snow White and his eyes are done with Dusty Charcoal
I used a white sharpie to add the whites to his eyes
The frame and tags are from the Limited Edition Collection - Glorious I just layered them and added the Linked in Die that I cut up and added some Rust too



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

Create for Memory Maze


Hey Everyone

For my Memory Maze project this time I felt like colour and randomness LOL 
So I used one of the Chipboard Journal pages gathered up some bits picked some colours and off I went


I started with some 3D gel and the Diamond Stencil and just chose a few spots to put the diamonds to go with the pattern on the chipboard page

After arranging things how I wanted them and glueing them down I painted everything with white gesso (I painted in layers so I made sure everything was covered) 

 I then chose 4 Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dusts to use put only used 3 - Lollipop, Sunflower and Amber

 I started with the Lollipop as you can see it's very vibrant 

 Then adding the other colours you start to get a mix so you end up with more than just 3 colours

Here you can see I used the Silver Micro Beads which I mixed with some Helmar Super-Tac Glue and placed them randomly over the Journal

I used the some of the small 12 x 12 All there is is Cogs together 


This is one of the birds and nests that is part of a set (I couldn't find them on the site so you can message Sally at Memory Maze and I'm sure she will find them for your local shop) 

Here is one of the many feathers from the Feathers, Feathers mixed Dreamcatcher Feather they have some many sizes and shapes it was hard to choose 

 Because I've called this page Creative I added a music note, scissors, buttons, a screw, a zip and more that you can use while being creative 

 I love flowers so I couldn't not use some 
I think the pop of white also breaks up the colour


I love these scissors they are paper clay that my mum has the  mould for 
Once I was happy with the colours over the Journal I used some Art Alchemy Opal Magic Vintage Silk Wax over the top of everything to give it an extra shimmer
