Amazing for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Memory Maze Blog

Remember to check out the rest of the Design Teams work for some inspiration

And ask your local or online store to order in the Memory Maze products you see that you really MUST have - they have new stock all the time so make sure you check out the site yourself 

This photo is just is just beautiful and speaks volumes 

This is my cousin's husband - Kadex

He's Balinese and as you can see a very calm person they look like they really have a connection

I kept the page simple because the photo says it all

I used clear gesso on the paper first to prep it for any mixed media products I may use on it

I used the Flower Stencil with some 3D Matte Gel on the background paper just for some dimension

Then with all the chipboard  Hearts a pair and Moments Like These I used some Colour Blast Colour Embossing Powder in Sienna - I picked up the colour on the Elephants trunk

I used some Finnabair Mechanicals they look like lotus flowers

Today for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone 

This was a fun little project for the Memory Maze Blog with colour but also my favourite rust and owls

Make sure you visit our Facebook page so you don't miss out on anything new

I started of with the Door Wire Stencil and some crackle paste on a mini canvas I set it aside to dry on it's own as it has ha better crackle when you do this

Once the background was dry I used some Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink in Citrus, Slipper and Spice
Dripping the colours down the canvas and adding a little water to spread the colour over the whole canvas

Then with the 2 piece vintage oval frame I painted it with some brown acrylic paint then some Rusty Paper Paint dabbing it randomly then I added some Frank Garcia Memory Hardware Artisan Powder in Trianon Patina in random spots

I cut 2 of the outer Hearts a pair so they sat in each other then used the Artist Inks again to paint them 

I painted the flowers behind the owl with the citrus as it needed some more brightness behind the owl
The owl I used Frank Garcia Memory Hardware Artisan Powder in Umber, Clay and Black and mixed in a bit of Colour Blast Colour Spray Mocha and the leaves I used the Grass Artist Ink

From the Globes set I took the little vintage timer out and painted it with Artisan Powders and then a bit of the Mocha Colour Spray and a bit of Cobalt Shimmer Dust mixed with a fair bit of water

I added a few white flowers because you can never have enough flowers LOL

Love for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This week on the Memory Maze Blog I created a canvas for a friend who lost her dad last year and every time I saw this photo on Facebook I knew I had to do something with it

And it just so happens it was her birthday a couple of days ago so what better present that a lovely memory

Don't forget to check out the rest of the blog for inspiration and check out and see the new products that are always coming out

I started off with some impasto on the background with the Diamond Stencil

Then I used Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Cubes in Singin the Blues and Just Blue on the grooves of the diamonds

With the Vintage Corners I painted them with Colour Shimmer Cubes in Snow White just for a bit of shimmer

On the Hearts a Pair I used the Snow White and Fire Engine with a bit of the Snow White over the top

After it dried it gave it a crackle look

Words Fancy Awesome, Spectacular I also used the Fire Engine

After finishing with all the embellishing I used the Micro Beads with a bit of Helmar Super-Tac Glue mixed together

I used some paper flowers, a metal circle and a paper clay key hole

Here I used a paper clay heart with wings I thought it was perfect for this picture

Sound of Music for Helmar

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Helmar blog this time and I created a tribute to The Sound of Music but more so my favourite song from the movie 

Edelweiss 

I don't know why I love this song so much maybe because it bring the family back together I'm not sure

I also have little tributes to My Favourite Things and Do-Re-Me on there as well

I couldn't leave them off as they are some of the popular songs from the movie and when you hear them it makes you think of the movie

On the little flowers I used white flocking powder because the Edelweiss flowers look like they are fluffy so I use the Craft & Hobby PVA Glue to adhere the flock to the flowers

On the little stamens I used Colour Blast Colour Mica Powder in Olive dipping them in the Tacky Craft Glue first then dipped them in the Mica Powder 

Once they were dry I used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to glue them to the flowers

After the glues were dry on the flowers and stamens I then took them outside and sprayed them with the Crystal Kote Fixative Spray because of the Mica powder and the flocking powder I wanted to make sure they didn't come off

I used Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dust Candy to colour the white flowers I had

I also used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive to the flowers to make it look like rain drops on roses 

Like always I used the Acid Free Glue on my photos

I found some of the word from the song off the internet so I printed it off on photo paper

I had a metal hat I couldn't find a straw colour like Maria's hat so I used Vintage Silk Finnabair Wax

In the background you can see sheet music which is the music from the song Edelweiss  

I used the Memory Maze Madala Doily Stencil with some 3D Matte Gel 

Then for some colour I used Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink 

Here's a close up of the Raindrops On Roses unfortunately you can see the bubbles from the glue but I still like that it looks like they are wet

Here you can see some of My Favourite Things - Bright Copper Kettle (I used Rich Copper Cinnabar Wax), Brown Paper Package, Raindrops on Roses

On the frame I randomly used Icy Snow Paste and Finnabair's Art Stones which were stuck down with Tacky Craft Glue everything else was stuck down with 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

And here - Do a Deer a Female Deer , So a Needle Pulling Thread, La a Note to Follow So

On the edge of the frame I used Rose Gold Finnabair Wax

On this Memory Maze Criss Cross Mini Heart I used Fire Ruby Finnabair Wax it has such a beautiful shimmer to it 

On the little bow I used Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink Calypso
