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

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

Maid of Honour for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges

Hey Everyone

Here's my project for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog

I love these heart canvases and this photo is so beautiful of my daughter and her Maid of Honour 

The photographer captured a glow in their faces it's just gorgeous

So I started off by using the Rosy Stencil over the whole background 

Then I painted the canvas with the Art Alchemy Red Wine

I used the Art Alchemy Metallique Wax in Old Silver with my finger rubbing it lightly over the top which looked great 

But then I decided to use the Prima Midnight Garden products and they have a copper colour foil on a lot of the pieces so I went over the canvas with the Rich Copper wax but I'd put too much so I brushed it again with a bit of the Red Wine and ended up with this colour 

I added the bow then arranged the chipboard stickers and some of the Journal Cards after I stamped randomly with the Paint Chips Clear Stamp

 Before I added the photo I added some muslin over the cardboard that I used to raise the photo up

 I added the flowers they matched perfectly with the ones that the girls had in their hair and bouquets

Flower Nymph for Helmar

Hey Everyone

This time on the Helmar Blog I created a cage filled with flowers and a Nymph hiding in amongst all the of them

Make sure to visit the Helmar Website to find out your closest stockist

And remember to check the Helmar Blog for more inspiration from the other Design team members 

I've had this Prima Bird Cage for ever a friend and I were going to do them together but then she opened a gift shop and hasn't crafted since so I thought it's about time I used it 

Mum and I went shopping in a big cheap craft store and they sold lots of flowers and materials wool etc so we bought lots of flowers and some of this mesh 

Mum got some bit and pieces 

I used the Fabric Glue adhere the glitter mesh to the back of the cage

 I stuck a few layers of cardboard using the Premium Craft Glue (it's my go to at the moment) together so there was height and the Nymph would stand out amongst the flowers 

I painted the paper clay Nymph with Finnabair Acrylic Paint Sparks and stuck it to the back of the cage and material with the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive

I used a lot of different sized gems which I scattered around the whole cage as well as used them in the Nymphs eyes so I used the Gemstone Glue to adhere them over the flowers and on the bottom of the cage

With the Nymph it has detail that stands out so I used Finnabair Art Alchemy Opal Magic Vintage Silk Wax

It's such a pretty colour and not too bright just enough to make the details pop

I used Finnabair Art Alchemy Opal Magic Vintage Silk Wax on the Heart as well and added a large flower to go with it

Enjoy the Journey for Memory Maze

Hey Everyone my turn on the Memory Maze blog today 

Make sure you check out the Memory Maze Store and check out what's new this week and see the blog for what the team have been up too

We also have an Instagram account so make sure if your in Insta you go add us memorymazelaser

and I'm slowly working my way through my daughter's wedding photos 

There's no hurry as they don't want an album so I'm doing what I want with the photos that I love the most

The girls did their own hair and make up which turned out beautiful

This is what the Heart with Wire Insert looks like except with all the hexagons in it 

I sat and glued all the hexagons onto a piece of cardstock with the outer edge but not the full frame 

Once everything was glued down and dry I added Colour Blast Heavy White Gesso over the whole thing - I did a couple of coats to make sure I got into all the grooves 

Then as you can see above I used the Colour Blast Colour Spray LOVE painting into the grooves as steadily as possible but as you can see that didn't quite happen I went over the edges a bit but it added to it I think

Then I used some Journaling Cards from the Prima range Midnight Garden (it's so pretty) and a couple of flowers from the Ephemera pack

On the Words Fancy - Smile and the Enjoy the Moment I rubbed some Finnabair Metallique Wax in the Brushed Iron to add a contrast colour

Then on the Prima Junk Yard Findings Globe I painted the back with some Finnabair Mettalique Acrylic Paint in Red Wine which suited the flowers in her hair and is a very similar colour to the Bridesmaids skirts 

Then I randomly placed different sized white flowers around the project
