This is the very gorgeous granddaughter of a friend who likes to take selfies lol

It's good for me cause my kids are older now and it's really hard to get photos of them at all

So I just steel hers and she gets the pages which she loves

I love the washed out colours in the background and how they flowed

through the stencilled pattern

Mixed Up Magazine

Make sure you check out our BLOG and see what our very creative

Design Team have come up with

This project was inspired by a new friend that helped me with some healing

(it's part of her Job) she has a business OptiMystic Xzavia she's an Intuitive Healer who

also does yourChakras, massage, past life healings and lots more

you can find her on Facebook

Anyway I made this for her as she was only supposed to spend an hour with me and

ended up spending over an hour

I started with a white plastic frame and painted it with the Finnabair Patina Effect Paste Brass 

then used the Frank Garcia Artisan Powder in Trianon Patina with some

 water in all the grooves of the frame and then on some of the edges

The background I used some modelling paste

Once that was dry I used some Lindy's Tea Pot Purple Spray and some

 Tim Holtz Distress Spray Stain Peacock Feathers with a brush so it went

into the grooves of the Memory Maze Wire Door stencil 



I also coloured a lot of the embellishments with the same colours so it all blended

I used some metal to break it up a bit as well

Ice Fairy for Memory Maze

Hi everyone

I found this picture online and just loved it

Make sure you check out the Blog to see what the Design Team have created

I have also created a YouTube video but again it's pixelated (so please if anyone out their can
help let me know whats happening)

I used Magical's for the background and added some Glimmer Magic 5ml for extra shimmer
over the background

I used the Vintage Oval Frame and covered it with some Pearl Deco foil and added

lots of flowers of course then glass beads, seed beads and mica flakes

I used some silver leaves I had in my stash 

I added some silver balls and a few clear gems them painted a coat of glitter paint over the top of all the embellishments and I'm done

Be You

Hey Everyone

I decided to enter the Lindy's Stamp Gang November Challenge where you had to use at least 2 out of the 5 colours in the pallete 

I chose Steampunk Sepia and Tweedle Dee Denim 

I used the Printers Tray from Memory Maze Designs I decided to use only one photo and this was perfect as it has the sepia tone to it

I started by adding some crackle paste over the tray in random spots, then stencilled a hounds tooth pattern on the background with modelling paste

I then painted the colours randomly then spraying water and drying in between each layer

I love how the sepia went into the cracks to give it depth

I used a few background stamps on the tray to add another dimension

I dipped some flowers and the muslin in a watered down mix of the colours 

A sprinkle of micro beads here and there for more texture they add a little shimmer as well

Added flowers, metal and a few other embellishments and that's it
