Wander for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This time on the Memory Maze blog I created a layout with a photo my son in law took of my daughter at the beach

I love the way he captured her just wandering along 

Make sure to check out the Memory Maze Store because we do custom orders as well

I didn't do a lot to this page as I wanted the photo to stand out

I used the River Pebbles Stencil with sand mixed with 3D Matte Gel

It has great texture and dimension

The Circle Mandala Chipboard I painted with Finnabair Art Alchemy Paint Sparks Unicorn Hair and I brushed a little bit of the paint over the sand for a little shimmer

I used a mould from Prima for the scrolls then used two of the Art Alchemy waxes in the new colours - Old Denim and Blue Lagoon 

I feel like they look a bit like waves and the blue adds some extra colour to the neutral colours of the layout

The quote seemed appropriate for the photo and is from one of Tim Holtz's sticker books 

I used Platinum glass glitter for a bit of extra bling

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

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

Gorgeous for Memory Maze

Hey everyone

This weeks project for Memory Maze Blog is a photo of my daughter and two of her besties having fun

Also don't forget to check out the rest of the Memory Maze Blog for inspiration and new products that come out quite regularly 

I painted the cardstock with black gesso

I used the Swirl Stencil on the background cardstock with 3D Matte Gel then covered it all with the gesso

I then went over the pattern with Art Alchemy Opal Magic Vintage Silk Wax

I painted the Fancy Frame with Art Alchemy Jade Impasto paint then used the 3D Matte Gel to give the frame a textured pattern 

Once the gel was dry I rubbed the Vintage Silk wax over the whole frame

On the chipboard word Gorgeous I used the Raspberry Pink Art Alchemy Impasto Paint for a pop of another colour

Added one of my favourite embellishments - a flair button

Behind the frame I put on of the Project Life cards I've had in my stash for ever and never got around to starting the album

The 3 metal flowers I painted with the Raspberry Pink Impasto then rubbed the Vintage Silk Wax and then added some crystals to the centres

Love for Art and Soul Studio

Hey Everyone 

This is my first post with Art and Soul Studio and I'm so excited to be here

Make sure you check out the Store for all the awesome products and the Blog for the fabulous projects that the Design Team create

I started off by using clear gesso over the paper then cut out one of the circle it has words of love on it

I then used some Helmar Tacky Craft glue and a scrap of cardstock to cover the whole as I wanted to raise to cut out piece up with some cardboard

I then glued the cut out circle to the Petite Resin Round Frame

I then used the 3D Matte Gel through the Bohemian Bazaar stencil randomly over the 13 @Arts paper

I painted the Colour Blast Leather Colour Shimmer cube over the stencilled areas and then over all the circles

I painted my paper clay piece with the Leather shimmer cube

 I poured some of the Patina powder out and added water to make a paint

It made it look old which is what I wanted

I then rubbed some of the wax over the top of the clay just enough to get the parts that stood out

I then used the pink and painted the paper clay flowers the same way

I tried a darker wax but it didn't look good so I used a wipe and it came off 

I liked the look of it as it was so I left it that way

I used the Leather Shimmer Cube to paint the frame as well and rubbed the brass wax just over the flowers

Before glueing the embellishments down I used the muslin down across the paper making sure to hide the hole that I'd cut out

I glued the bling into the centre of the spoon then glued the pebble to the top of the bling once they were stuck together I glued them down

I covered the metal word with the brass wax as well and then glued it to the paper clay 

I then placed the other embellishments down on the muslin once I was happy with everything I added the Art Stones randomly over the page
