Shielded by strength - Mixed media canavs for Dusty Attic

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic's blog with a new mixed-media canvas.

First, I covered the whole canvas with book pages with a gloss gel. Next, I added a design with the Geo Texture stencil and 3D Gloss Gel. When dry, I added a thin layer of white gesso. I kept it very light as I wanted to see the text and remove the gesso from the design with a baby wipe. I painted the background with black, Prussian blue, and umber liquid acrylic paints. 


I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I chose the biggest Moon and colored it with liquid acrylic to match the shield of the photo. 


I used different shades of brown paints to color the Wildgrass #1, the Foliage #3 and #25, and the Fern Fronds.


I added a design to the Boho Skull with white heavy gesso and the Fossilised stencil. I painted the horns with black and burnt sienna paint and the skull with the same color with a hint of orange, but I diluted the colors with water. 


For the Feather Charm #4, I used brown, black, orange, and Carmin paints. 


To finish, I added some glitter.

Vintage Christmas - Layout for 49 and Market

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a Xmas layout with a vintage feel. 

Photo: @ArtHouseWhimsy

I chose a paper from the Krafty Garden collection: Java Explosion and worked on the B-side. I added a few Krafty garden rub-on transfers.


I die-cut some pines and holly branches in a watercolor paper with the Pine Holidays and the Pencil Line Holly framelits dies from Sizzix. As I wanted a vintage feel to my composition, I first colored all the die-cut elements with different shades of brown Magicals. When dry, I added a green color.
With the help of gliding glue, I covered the hollyberries with red glitter.


I selected a few Ticketed Ephemera from the Christmas Spectacular collection and aged them with brown ink to keep this vintage feel.
I chose a few Salt Nature's Bounty flowers and used brown ink to distress them.  


On the top left corner of the layout, I added a few elements to remind the main composition .


To finish, I splattered red glitter.
