Creativity For Random Arts

Hey Everyone

Here's a post for the Random Arts Blog which I haven't posted to for a while as I've had a few health issue which one included breaking my hip while taking my hubby to get his replaced - ironic I know LOL we were the talk of the hospital 

Any way I saw this quote 

I thought I'd lost my creativity I thought it had just gone and I could craft anymore with everything that has gone on with my depression and the hip and a few other things I just couldn't get into it

Then reading this quote made me realise how true it is

I knew I just had to start

So this is the first piece back it's simple but it was fun to do 

I thought it only fitting to use a paint palette seeing as that was what the quote was on

So I painted it with white gesso using a sponge to give it texture

 Then using the Lindys Magical Shakers I randomly used the three colours around the palette drying each colour as I went 

I love the way they blend into each other and can make extra colours

Here you can see I added the Little Birdie - Embossing Texture Paste - Aquatini and Frosty Fizz randomly with a palette knife

I love this paste the way the more you heat it the more it puffs

 This patch of Frosty Fizz I added some Alpine Ice Rose Magical's to it for some more colour then added the Silver Rhombus Spear Charm on top

 I added the Finnabair Old Silver Wax to the resin scissors, paintbrush and texta to make them pop

 I love the Patina Bee he's one of my favourite bits of metal in my collection

He adds that pop on the flower that was needed

I love flowers I think they soften things and add extra colour where it's needed

Hello for Random Arts

Hey Everyone

Here's my latest project for Random Arts a little canvas of such a cutie - she's my friend's granddaughter  

Make sure you check out the BLOG for lots of inspiration from the rest of the team and don't forget to visit our Facebook Page and enter our monthly challenge

I used an Art Alternatives Wood 6 x 6 Panel and used some Prima 6 x 6 Paper Pad Jodie Lee Butterfly Collection which I used some Helmar Super-Tac Glue spreading it all over evenly so it didn't leave any bubbles

I then used some Little Birdie Embossing Texture Paste Frosty Fizz using the Little Birdie Fiora Enchante Stencil

This is awesome Embossing paste - you have to heat it and when you do it puffs up the longer you heat it the more puffed up it gets

I added the little Bee Charm A Patina on top of the cabochon and birdcage for extra dimension

 I randomly added some of the Little Birdie Arctic Ice flowers for a pop of colour 

 I used some of the Tim Holtz word stickers to describe this gorgeous little girl

I love the Finnabair Mechanicals Heart Locket Pendant 

I used the large one and filled it with some material and flowers

 I glued it on top of some material that I tied in a knot and threaded the knot through the top of the locket

Adding some Little Birdie Mica Flakes in Silver randomly around the canvas  

I added the Resin Heart to the corner for balance

The resin looks so good,  they come out so clean from the moulds

Twinkle Twinkle for Embellish with Flair

Hey Everyone

This project for Embellish With Flair was a fun little project 

Using one of the flairs from the Galaxy, Moon & Stars set 

I used Little Birdie Embossing Texture Paste Aquatini through the stencil then once I heated it so puffed I went over the whole thing with black gesso

After that I used Finnabair's Art Alchemy Sparks Raven Black paint over the background

 Then brushed some Finnabair's Art Alchemy Sparks Unicorns Hair paint over the embossed area and painted the stars with it as well

 I used Finnabair's Art Alchemy Dragons Eye paint over the metal moon 

I used a Tim Holtz sticker onto to add an extra touch

 Inside you can see the clear plastic stars which are from Memory Maze 

I added some clear gems I had in my stash and to pick up on the blue in the flair I added some Art Ingredients Glass Glitter in Platinum

Here you can see all the bits that make it like a shaker box but it's going to get hung up so it all sparkles

Happiness for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This week on the Memory Maze Blog I created a canvas using this quote for a friend to remember to be happy for herself and not let people get to her and cause her the pain and stress 

I used Memory Maze Door Wire Stencil with some Little Birdie Embossing Paste which I got from Random Arts 

It's so fun to use, it goes on like a thin paste then when you heat it, 
it puffs - the more heat the more puff it's so much fun and worked excellent with Door Wire Stencil

I then painted it with Finnabair's Metallique Soft Satin Paint 
I went over the whole canvas with Finnabair's Opal Magic Vintage Silk Wax for an added dimension and to lighten the colour a little 

I then painted the Lace Scalloped Nested Circles clear gesso then with Finnabair's Metallique White Pearl Paint for a nice shimmer

I then used some Cocoa Vanilla pieces from the Die Cut Ephemera pack and some Mermaid Balls scattered around
