You are... for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges

Hey Everyone

Here is my project for this month on the Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog 

Make sure you join in the fun and also check out the other projects by the rest of the design team

I used a quote that I thought suited a lady that doesn't see these things in herself so I thought it only appropriate that I make this for her to remind her that she is all these things

I used Boho Mandala A4 Stencil from Colour Blast which I purchased at Random Arts (a new Aussie online store with very good prices)
I used Finnabair's Acyrilic Paints - Line Peel and Deep Waters and added water so they mixed a bit in the middle 

I then embellished with a few bits and pieces I in my stash and added a flair from Embellish With Flairs (they have such a great range make sure to check them out)

A few more embellishments and a touch of gold wax by Finnabair

Then a few sprinkles of some Art Ingredient Glass Glitter placed around for some sparkle and we are done 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you will be back soon x

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

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)

I used some Finnabair Art Alchemy Metallique Pink Blush and Opal Magic Aqua-Rose on the background 

I love the way the Opal Magic paints work

On the black it's Aqua and if you use it on a light colour it would be a Rose colour (so clever)

As you can see I used the Acrylic paints on all the embellishments as well

I added white flowers from KaiserCraft and Art Stones from Prima to finish it off

Picture Perfect for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Memory Maze Blog so make sure you stop by and check out the other Design Team members creations and see what else is happening with the latest creation of Chipboard and other awesome products or check out the Facebook page 

Today I created a frame with a picture of girl from a magazine which I fussy cut out and decorated it with a few bits and pieces from my stash just for something different

I painted the frame with black gesso then with some graphite texture paste I used the Door Wire Stencil over the background of the frame (I took the glass out and put that aside as I don't use that)

I then used some Linda's Magical Shakers - Alpine Ice Rose, Grab a Guy Gold, Cowabunga Copper and I added a little bit of the Creme Brûlée Cream from the Sweet Treat Shimmer Set but I wasn't happy with that so that got covered up

I used the 2nd largest flourish from the Flourish Corner Set and covered it with Finnabair Art Alchemy Antique Brilliance Red Amber Wax and wasn't happy with it so I then went over it with some Metallique Rose Gold Wax 

I also used the Metallique Rose Gold Wax over some of the metal embellishments

With the magazine lady I liked the way her hair was styled except there was writing in it so I went over it with some brown paint and tried to follow the way it was styled with the brown paint

Then when I was glueing her down I added a bit of tissue under her hair to give it some dimension

I glued the flourish to her hair like a tiara and added a metal embellishment and some pearls

I then added my embellishments to the corners of the frame a few metal pieces a couple of velum flowers, a flower that I have had forever and it was perfect with the rose gold flourish that I used on her hair

I gave her a drop pearl and diamond earring

When I was happy with everything I added the Colour Blast Clear Shimmer Brush Marker to her face so she has a gorgeous shimmer to her

I also added it to the vellum flowers and butterfly - it gave them a more transparent look
