Love Flowers for Soul Sister Challenge

Hey Everyone

This week on the Art and Soul Blog it's my turn for this months challenge for Soul Sisters Facebook Group and it is to use feathers or leaves 
Also check out the Art and Soul Studio Store for lots of yummy products - new stock arriving all the time

This mood board is so vibrant loving the glass bottles
Don't forget to enter and put it in the March Album with photo on it 

I have an unhealthy love for flowers hahaha which lucky for me this months challenge called for leaves and I have plenty of those as well

I had made a tag awhile ago using a Tim Holtz stencil with modelling paste

I added a row of heart stickers I think they were from a Kaisercraft sticker sheet and some Art Stones 
I then painted it with Impasto - Jade and Raspberry Pink and added a bit of water to it then stamped a Kaisercraft dotted stamp with some Black Archival Ink

The frame I was given by someone that they had gotten from the op shop, it was navy blue to start with
On the back of the frame I used the doily stencil then painted it with the Jade Impasto

So I used the Raspberry Pink Impasto which is so thick I only needed one coat
I then gave it a light wipe with some white gesso

I got out my flowers and added them after glueing the tag to the frame

I painted the leaves in the Jade because the green of the leaves just didn't go

I gave the chipboard word a flick with some watered down impasto because it was just too white

Bling Challenge for Art and Soul Studio

Hey Everyone

This months challenge for Art and Soul Studio is all about Bling and who doesn't like bling 

I love the whole mood board this month it's so feminine, soft and pretty

If you enter the challenge on our Facebook page Soul Sisters you have the chance to win one of three $50 vouchers to spend at the store

The photo is of my chandelier in my bedroom I told hubby when we finally did our room no matter what we are having a chandelier in our room 

It's not a huge grand one it's perfect for the size of our bedroom

I played underneath to take it as it's over our bed

I started off with a timber frame and gessoed it so when I painted it the paint would go on smooth

This is the back of the frame which I painted with gesso as well so I could use the mix of Heavy Body Gel and a fine glitter

I used the mix through the Bohemian Bouquet Stencil

I then used Colour Blast Snow White Embossing Powder randomly on the frame for a bit more bling and sparkle

I had some tulle that has bling in it so of course I had to use that 

I added the stem of flowers and then added some of the other flowers in amongst it all

Then added some plastic bling randomly through out the mix

I had the large blog flower which I love - it fit perfect on this project

As you can see I used a lot of the Rose Gold painting all the metal and paper clay
