Album for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This project for Helmar Blog is a photo album cover which I decorated with lots of metal and some paper clay pieces 

Make sure you check out the rest of the Blog for some fantastic inspiration from the Design Team

 This is a Tim Holtz Album Cover that has preprinted fabric on it 

With all the metal and paper clay I painted it with Finnabair's Art Alchemy Metallique Rustic Brown

Once it was all dry I brushed everything over with a light coat of Finnabair's Art Alchemy Metallique Wax in Vintage Gold 

 But I found it to be a bit too gold so I used Finnabair's Art Alchemy Opal Magic Vintage Silk over the top to lighten it a little 

I used the Premium Craft Glue to adhere all of the embellishments to the cover which is so good for all different types of products to stick things down with 

Metal on metal, metal to fabric, paper to fabric and lots more

 This Key hole is from Graphic 45 I love how detailed it is

 The image is a piece from one of Tim Holt's Ephemera packs which I cut into an oval shape, then covered the edge with some twine

 I added a Bee Flair from Embellish With Flair Vintage Bees into a bottle top along with a piece of tulle fabric and a little clock 

 I had some Finnabair Mechanicals which is what the ART piece is which is what I added to the centre of the angels centre piece 

 Then I added some other bits of metal I had in my stash 

Now all I need to do is add photos or maybe add some art journal pages

You & Me for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

This week's Colour Blast project I HAD to use the new stencil I'd gotten Colour Blast Boho Mandala Stencil from the Follow Your Dreams range it's so pretty  

Make sure you check out the Shop for the latest releases and the Blog for all the inspiration you need from the talented Design Team

Also, check out our Stockists for our range of products and help out a small business

Look at these two how gorgeous are they 

Mum took them to one of those pop-up shops where they take the pictures in the shopping centres and had a whole heap of photos done and when I saw them I asked if I could do a canvas of one of the photos she said for sure not knowing what I was going to do

It was so hard to pick as there were so many of them together and apart but this was the most fun out of all of them

And lucky for me their mum loved it

 I used the Colour Blast White Heavy Gesso on all the embellishments and the canvas to prime everything so that whatever medium I was going to use on them would adhere with no problem  

I used the Colour Blast Boho Mandala  Stencil from the Follow Your Dreams range with some clear impasto
I'd have to say this is my new favourite stencil it's so pretty

 

With the background, it took a while to work out what colour to go with I was going to do it in Snow White Shimmer Cube but the Lady I made it for said the other colour she liked was purple (she hadn't seen what I was doing with the photo until I was finished)

So I used the Colour Shimmer Cube Royalty 

 I used the Colour Artist Ink Slipper and some water for the flowers as they weren't white and didn't look right 
I also used it on a few of the other embellishments

 I used a Flair from Embellish With Flair it's from the You Make Me Smile Set
I also used some Cocoa Vanilla Studio Happiness Accessory Stickers and Die Cut Ephemera set

 The Heart is from Finnabair and I filled it with some Silver Art Ingredients Glass Glitter and used a Cocoa Vanilla Studio saying sticker from the Happiness collection to put on top same as I did with the saying on the arrow

The chipboard arrow is from a Memory Maze Set Arrow love me and you
