Cheers for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone 

Here is my latest layout 

I'm slowly working my way through the wedding photos (it will be their First Wedding Anniversary on the 18th of May lol)

I love this photo of the girls, I better do some of the boys soon though

Make sure to check out the rest of the Memory Maze Blog for loads of inspiration and check out what's new

I had this Wine Glass Chipboard in my stash which was perfect but I didn't want to paint it like I always do so the paper range from Prima I used had this paper in it which is so pretty so 

I glued it to the chipboard waited for it to dry then used a knife to cut around it

I then used some Art Alchemy Wax inAged Brass around the edge to get rid of the chipboard colour to finish it off 

I added a few feathers for something different over the top of the vellum sheet that came with the matching flowers and feathers

 One of the Prima papers has a foil print on the paper so I hand cut around it to make a frame

The little white flowers were out of one of the Prima packs 

One of the Prima sheets of paper had different sized shapes on it and I cut a few different piece from that to lay under the glass and the added another flower 

I then used the Finnabair Art Ingredients Glass Glitter in Copper randomly over the page for some sparkle  

These flowers I got from a cheap shop and added some glass glitter too as well

Teach our Daughters for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This week on my blog my project for Memory Maze is about our daughters I saw this quote and it just seemed right (yes I love using quotes I have adult children so it's hard to get photos LOL)

I started off painting the edge of the inside of the canvas with Azure Impasto (not a colour I would normally use but I need to use other than the ones I always use LOL)

I used the Noughts and Crosses Stencil around the edge of the canvas with some Heavy Body Gel
I wasn't happy with Azure so I painted everything with Dylusions Calypso Teal

I then used the Mini Divided Heart Stencil in the centre of the canvas randomly which I then painted with Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Cube - Snow White for some shimmer in the background

I then use some more Colour Shimmer Cubes in a variety of colours but the ones I used on my canvas were - Deep Water, Sunshine, Rose Petal, Punch and Bling

I used the Snow White Shimmer Cube on the Words Fancy Awesome, Spectacular chipboard and some Bling Colour Blast Embossing powder

I used a card from my stash of Project Life cards that I never use and you can see some fabric I've had that for a while 

These are some Prima flowers that a friend gave me so I had to use them and I love flair buttons and this one is so true with the quote

Then I used some little white Kaisercraft flowers on the canvas as well cause I love flowers

Hello for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

Yes it's another owl but I can't help it I just love them and this one is very cute LOL 
This weeks project for the Memory Maze Blog I used a Printers Tray they are so pretty and you can do just about anything with them
I love how they have the different shaped sections in them and if you really want to you can cut some of the chipboard out to fit what you need in
Make sure you visit the Memory Maze Blog and check out all the great inspiration from the rest of the Design Team each week and see all the latest Chipboard and other goodies that are put out for your favourite store to get in stock

On each feather I used a different stencil using modelling paste as you can see (links below) just to add some interest rather than leaving them plain

On the background of the Printers Tray I used modelling paste with the Wire Stencil for some dimension and texture

On the back ground of the I used Colour Shimmer Dust Lollipop

With the feathers I sprayed (I have these colours already made up as I seem to use them a lot) some Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dust Cobalt, Lollipop and Sunflower they all mixed and made a few different colours which I think added extra interest and is also what I used on the Boho Skull and Feathers and lace border too  

You can see the textures on the feathers

This feather arrow was from the Boho Skull and Feathers and I use Colour Paste Sunshine on the larger feather

I painted the outside of the Printers Tray with Jade Impasto 

This is one of the Acrylic words that Memory Maze make they also have a whole range of different shapes as well 

The Hello also comes in chipboard I love this font

I won a prize from joining in at White with 1's monthly challenge from The Resin Rainbow and this gorgeous lace border was in the pack it was a pale pink and it didn't really go with my project so I  did the same thing as I did with my feathers and the colour shimmer dusts 

And of course there had to be and owl somewhere

And to finish the project off I went around and added silver micro beads with some Helmar Super-Tac Glue

Birds of a Feather for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge

Hey Everyone 

This month on Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog our sponsor is WOW 

Make sure you check out their site and see the great range of products they have including a huge range of embossing powders

I happen to have one of their moulds that's what I used

 Also don't forget to check out the Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog to see all the creative work the Design Team have made and enter to win

With the Feathers Mould I used paper clay 

It's such a light medium to use and is great on a canvas 

I love how detailed the feathers come out

I decided to add a chipboard house to the top of the canvas like a bird house for the paper clay birds that mum gave me

I used a stencil of lanterns but I thought they looked like bird feeders

Once I glued everything down with some Helmar 450 Quick Dry Adhesive Glue (it's great because it really does dry quick and it's very strong)

I then used some Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dusts in Sunflower, Candy, Lollipop and Amber 

Adding a little bit of one coloured powder at a time 

Sprinkling it with the tip of a small brush then spraying water and drying each colour before adding the next colour 

I used some Colour Mica Powder Cool Mint  mixed with some Dorland's Wax Medium over the top of all the raised edges 

And by heating it, it went into the grooves as well so it made the feathers details stand out more

Making sure to get colour in the grooves of the feathers as well

I added a few white flowers because if you've seen my work and know me you know there has to be some flowers somewhere LOL 

Thank you for visiting and I hope you come back soon x
