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

Mini Art Journal for Embellish with Flair

Hey Everyone 

This time for Embellish With Flair I created a Mini Art Journal great to just throw in your back with some pens or a small watercolour palette and water pens if your travelling and don't have a lot of space or time to do get much done during the day but want to wind down at night with something 

With the background, I used a mini Wire stencil from Memory Maze with some 3D gel medium 

I then used some Mushy Peas Dylusions Paint but that was a bit light, so I then used Bottle Green and Azure Impasto from Finnabair for a mix

 I added some Vanilla Custard Dylusions Paint for the paper clay scroll and then glued the butterfly flair on top of that 

I also glued some other paper clay pieces that were broken bits from other things I'd made for a pop of white then glued the bead strand on top of them 

I painted the paper clay keyhole with Jade Impasto by Finnabair and added a key

Then added some word stickers to the cover

And that's it, it's ready to go travelling with

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

Paint for Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

For my Colour Blast Blog post this week I couldn't decide which photo I like so I did both as they were both to do with paint

You will find the Colour Paste here at the Colour Blast shop or find your nearest Stockist here

Colour Paste Canvas

So for the first canvas after painting with White Gesso  I used the Colour Paste as a paint rather than a paste to paint my very uneven stripes the colours I used are - Apple of my Eye, Blush, Fire Engine, Singin the Blues, Sunshine and Tangerine Dream I did two coats so the colours came out intense like they do when you use them as a paste through a stencil

I also painted the paintbrush that was covered first in BlackGesso which makes the colours look different - I used Fire Engine, Sunshine and Apple of my Eye

Then to do the stencilled dots I used Colour Paste Stormy Weather

I added a few embellishments like the transparent butterfly and the Today which I've had forever I think they were Heidi Swapp 

The dotted card I'm not sure if it's Project Life or Kaiser and then the words are from Tim Holtz's Small Talk sticker book

The paint Brush I just added some flowers and a butterfly that I can't remember where it came from I've had it that long 

Colour Shimmer Cubes Canvas

The second Canvas I splattered the watered down Colour Shimmer Cubes over the canvas after painting it with White Gesso the colours I used are - Apple of my Eye, Fire Engine, Punch, Singin the Blues, Sunshine and Tangerine Dream

Then to do the little frame from Memory Maze I used Colour Shimmer Cube Leather

I painted a small piece of watercolour paper with Tangerine Dream Sunshine and Singin the Blues and used a flower sticker I've had for ever I think it came with the green butterfly from the other canvas and the butterfly on this canvas

I had some old paint brushes that I dipped in the same three colours so it looked like they were the brushes I used to paint the canvas then put a few flowers across the bottom 

I also used another card this time stripes from either Project Life or Kaiser with a Small Talk sticker quote

I had a little clear arrow I've had in my stash for ever - these canvases have been great for using up older pieces
