The Look for Soul Sisters Challenge

 Hey everyone

The Soul Sisters Challenge is so irresistible I had to join in 

These colours aaaahhhhh I love them I do a lot of my mixed media projects that 

I keep for myself in these colours 

So I had to use the colour palette, chipboard, tags, sparkle and shine everything I love

This is a photo of my daughter's niece the look says it all LOL

I added a little bow to her hair she's so cute Miss Amelia

I used water colour paints in the colours that have an awesome shimmer to them 

unfortunately they don't show up in the photos 

The tag I made gold with some gold leaf embossing power which I also used on all the 

wording that I used with a stencil and 3d matt gel

On the scolloped chipboard circle I used a glitter gold embossing powder for more sparkle

Of course there had to be flowers

I love the way the paint shows the pattern of the stencil

Here's a close up of the gold on the words it's so rich looking

Thanks for visiting and I hope you come back soon xx

Calm

Hey Everyone

Doesn't this photo make you feel calm

This is my gorgeous cousin Keira she's a very serene, spiritual soul and loves 

all things in the outside world 

Her husband Kadex took this photo (he has taken some amazing photos) in Bali 

I made a video of the process I did to create this canvas which was quite an adventure LOL 

 You can watch it here on my YouTube channel

Sorry about the quality I don't know what's happened so if anyone can help please let me 

know so I can fix it xx

When I saw the Dusty Attic Mandala stencil I knew I had to have it 

I used some of the Finnabair Impasto Paints I watered them down so they mixed a bit 

I painted whited gesso over the stencilled area after I painted it then rubbed it back so the gesso stayed in the grooves of the stencilled area

The background has about ten layers on it LOL 

I couldn't decide how I wanted it to look and kept covering it up with gesso in 

then end wiping it back gave it the look I liked 

I embellished with a few bits I don't think this canvas needed a lot the photo 

has to be the main focus so just a few flowers, a metal feather, a jar of "crystals"and 

a large crystal and thats it

Thanks for visiting and I hope you will be back soon xx

Positive Quote for Mixed Media Supplies

 

 

 

Hey everyone

 

My turn on the Mixed Media Supplies Blog today

 

I've had this little quote saved for awhile and thought the new year was a good time to use it

We need to start the year off on a positive note

 

"Don't let someone dim your light, simply because it's shinning in their eyes"

 

 

I started with a stencil that had different sized boxes in it and some modelling paste, while the background was still wet I stamped the Chain Link Fence Rubber Stamp from our Store into it so it gave it more texture

 

 

As you can see the paint went into the grooves of the Stamp

I also used the Crackle Rubber Stamp also from the Store



 

Thanks for visiting I hope you will be back soon xx

 



So Sweet For Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges

 

Hi everyone

 

 



This months Challenge at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges  is Sponsored by Tando Creative who are giving 2 prizes of 30% discount for their online STORE 

 

I created this little canvas of our gorgeous great nieces who are nearly one already it's gone so fast

 

I painted the background with gesso then used a heart stencil with some modeling paste

once that was dry I painted the background with some yellow and blue paint that I

watered down and sponged back the excess

 

I added a few embellishments with flowers and some paper dolls

 

 

A little ribbon here and there a few beads and that's it

 

Thanks for visiting I hope you will be back soon xx

Houses in a row for Mixed Media Supplies

 

 

Hi Everyone Suzanne here for my first post for the new year for the Mixed Media Supplies Blog

 I hope you all had a safe and happy start to it

 

Make sure you check out our social media pages to keep up to date - Facebook and Instagram, 

to see what everyone is up too

 

I got these little houses and decided to decorate them with the Digital Journal Printable Pages 

that I printed out on textured cardstock

 

 

I used 4 different stencils that I thought looked simular to bricks then I used the 4 different Mica Powders Shimmer Pearl , Coral Reef, Sapphire Blue and Copper Bronze

 

 

The base I covered with green paint mixed with white sand and green paint

it took a while to dry but once it did it looked great with the texture





 

I added little flowers around to make it look like little flowers growing out the

front of the gardens of the houses

Even though Christmas is over I the trees still needed something so I

added little pearls for a little shimmer

 

With the backs of the houses I thought I couldn't leave them just timber so

I used some of the texture paste and patted it down so it gave it some texture

and then dripped the mica powders down the back as well

Thanks for visiting and I hope you will be back soon xx

 



Brag Book for Mixed Media Supplies

Hi Everyone

I made this little Brag Book which will have photos added when the owner gets it

This project is for the Mixed Media Supplies blog

Make sure you check out our BLOG and see what the other Design Team members have been creating

All the papers are from the Digital Journal pages which I printed on some textured paper

I stamped using the textured rubber stamps that we also have in the Store

When I stenciled the pattern on I used crackle paste, once it dried I added a mix of watered down mod podge and the Coral Mica Powder so it would stay on the project

I used some of the Coral Mica Powder and added the ends of the ribbon to it for some added colour

I added a few embellishments, I didn't add too much as it would make it to bulky

Thanks for visiting and I hope you will visit again soon xx

Watermelon Red

White With 1's challenge this month is such a summery colour or it could be good for 

christmas

The White with 1 Blog has a great challenge where you can do the the colour or the colour and a sketch I chose to just use the colour

It's of our gorgeous great nieces Tahnie and Aisha
I love the way they are playing together and oblivious to what's around them

The heart which I cut out of wax paper was painted with the Colour Blast Candy Shimmer Dust I love how the wax paper reacted to the shimmer dust it gave different depths of the colour across the heart showing darker and lighter in places

 The little timber frame and the word Love I coloured with a black marker then covered it with some sparkle paint

Lots of flowers and embellishments

The little red flowers are ones I've had for ever they are Prima and they came in the Jars I HAD to have all the colours lol these ones were a colour that I didn't use so I soaked them in the Candy Shimmer Dust

I used some Snow Paste through a few different stencils for some dimension and randomly stamped some blossom background stamp around the heart shape

Thank you for visiting I hope you will be back soon xx
