Fairy Sophie for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

For my project this week I've chosen a photo of my Goddaughter from a few years ago in a fairy costume I had some Memory Maze chipboard Fairies just waiting to be used when I remembered this photo

Make sure to check out the Memory Maze Blog for lots of inspiration and to see the new upcoming designs
We are also on Facebook and Instagram so make sure to check us out on social media as well

I painted the fairy using the Finnabair Art Alchemy Paints Metallique Rustic Brown, Wild Fuchsia, Pure Sunshine, Fresh Orange, White Pearl and Opal Magic Yellow-Blue

I mixed Helmar Super-Tac Glue with some glitter to cover the Criss Cross, Mini Scribble Heart I used

Here's what the heart looked like when it dried

I added some extra colour with Colour Blast Colour Artist Inks Slipper, Citrus and Spice just letting them run down the canvas and into the muslin and glitter I had added

After placing my photo where I wanted it with Helmar Acid Free Glue I stuck the Fairy into place with Super-Tac Glue after adding a flower to her hand

I added some extra embellishments for some dimension and interest  and glued the down with Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

Happy for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

I love shaped canvases they are so much fun so for this post for Colour Blast Blog I used a round one

Don't forget about out checking out the the Kit Club all the details are on the Colour Blast Website

This is Jack my son he's going places he has a head for business and that's what he's doing at Uni for the next five years 

He'll do any work that's thrown his way at his job 

And the only other thing he loves more than his family is the gym LOL

I started with some Colour Blast Colour Paste Steel painting it with a paint brush 

I then dripped some Colour Artist Ink in Rust (my favourite colour)

 I then used some Colour Shimmer Dust Duke which I also painted on

I then ended up painting the Colour Artist ink Rust and the Colour Shimmer Dust Duke thicker and then spreading the Colour Paste Steel with a palette knife  

I love how you can still see the canvas detail

 So here's how the canvas looks after playing around for awhile trying to get things straight LOL not a great strength of mine 

 I used Flutterbydesign Stickers to add some sayings that suit Jack 

 I added a few Finnabair Mechanicals for some contrast

In the Centre of the bottle cap I added a Melange Art Pebble which I had painted with Colour Shimmer Dust Duke mixed with 3D Matte Gel

I also used a heart from Charms Creations they have some many gorgeous shapes in so many colours

I then added Art Stones randomly to finish off the canvas

Cancer for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This layout for the Memory Maze Blog is a special one 

My Uncle has been fighting cancer for a while now and just recently we found out he is in complete remission with no sign of cancer!

 I've kept the layout simple because of the significance of it

I used the Love this moment So Rad, Authentic words chipboard and the moustache from the Bike, Cogs, Clock Moustache Chipboard and the arrow from the Boho Skull and Feathers with Dreamcatcher Chipboard

 I used the  River Pebbles Stencil on a piece of cardstock with some modelling paste

Then sprinkled some Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dust in Duke with a paint brush and then I sprayed it with water

To embellish I wanted to put a clock and a compass to show life is short so make the most of it an enjoy the time you have and go where ever you want x

Make sure to check out the Facebook page and the rest of the blog for lots of inspiration

Handbag for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This time in for the Colour Blast Blog I tried to think out side the box - well outside the bag
My mother in law was throwing her old handbag out and I just couldn't let it go just like that

Also don't forget to visit the Colour Blast website and see what's new over there

I used the Spread Your Wings Collection that Michelle Grant created

I chose the Peony Dreams paper to cover the bag and used the 3D Matte Gel to adhere it to the bag I also gave it a coat on top as well

 then the Elegant Tags which I cut 3 of the tags out

With the Word Play sheet I cut out 2 squares one with the butterfly and the other with the birds

I then used the Peony Dreams Stamp Set with a versa mark stamp then over the top I used Colour Mica Powder in Peach Nectar

With the Dorland's Wax Medium I mixed some Colour Mica Powder in Cool Mint into a paste then painted it onto the paper clay shapes I made 

I used the  Colour Mica Powder in Peach Nectar with some 3D Matte Gel to paint the handle of the bag

I also painted the little clasp with the Peach Nectar

And of course added some flowers

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

Bunny for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges

Hey Everyone

My project for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges Blog is for Easter

This project was fun and the bunny is so cute 

I got him from Bed, Bath and Table

I changed him a little he came with elastic on his head so you can hang him but I cut it off and added an extra piece to make it look like hair

He also came with a balloon in his hands which I changed for tulips which are easter flowers and my favourite as it so happens

I made a ring of flowers with some paper clay and mum's mould and then made some eggs with the clay

I used a mini hexagon canvas and painted it with Art Alchemy Paint in Metallique Rustic Brown and the ring flowers in Sparks Unicorn's Hair then used foil to cover the eggs except the one in the centre, I tried to use wouldn't work so I painted that with Sparks Dragon's Eye 

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

Easter Wreath for Helmar

Hey Everyone 

I made an Easter wreath of sorts for the Helmar Blog this month 

I painted this timber heart with some Art Alchemy Metallique paints - Wild Fuchsia, Fresh Orange, Lime Peel and Pure Sunshine, they are such fresh happy colours 

I used Memory Maze's Scribble Frame over the muslin 

I used 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to adhere all the chipboard and plastic pieces onto the heart 

I used the Foam Glue to stick the bunny down after I cut him in half so he would sit right onto the heart, he's made of polystyrene so the foam glue is perfect

I found these plastic eggs with a chicken in a nest but I didn't want to use the chicken easters about bunnies

Make sure to check out the Helmar Website for all the different glues available and what each one is used for
