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

Bloom for Art and Soul Studio

Hey Everyone

It's my turn on the Art and Soul Studio Blog today and I created this canvas around this quote

I like to collect quotes I see on the internet or Facebook and use them for inspiration and motivation

We also have a Facebook Group - Soul Sisters so make sure you check that out for loads of inspiration

I started off with using some modelling paste through a Couture

Creations stencil - Rosy for some texture

Then painted the canvas with black gesso so it added atmosphere of the quote

Then I cut up a piece of 7 Dots Studio Paint Chips Nightshades cardstock into random sizes including one to mount the photo on

Awhile ago mum gave me some pinking shears and I thought these would be perfect with the zig zag in the paper

So I randomly cut one edge of each piece with the scissors

And this is a paper clay piece from mum that she made for me from a Prima Mould (she has the moulds and every now and then if I can afford it I will buy her one to add to her collection not that she needs me too she has LOTS - which in the long run helps me cause I get more patterns to use lol)
