Be Brave - Mixed media tag for Lindy's Gang

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up Lindy's Gang blog with another tag. You can feel that Autumn is there. The trees are taking their beautiful colors. 

Here is the beautiful color combo for November:

Color Guidelines: Golden Yellow - Burnt Orange - Milk Chocolate

Challenge Ingredient: Leaves

I colored a watercolor paper with Cattail Copper Broan, Sandra Dee Sepia, and Café au Lait Magicals.

Next, I stamped the background with the Cattail Copper Brown. The result looks like a watercolor design. 

I colored another watercolor paper with the same three colors in which I die cut some leaves and ferns. I colored some die cut branches with Sandra Dee Sepia. 

I colored the flowers with the Cattail Copper Brown Magical.

I added some rub-ons from the Curators Meadow collection.

To finish, I added glitter.

There's magic in the air - Layout for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new layout inspired by the October mood board. I used a photo from the talented Christina Fisher. Follow the link to look at her magical photos.

Here is the moodboard.

First I add two designs on the background with two stencils and paper paste. When dry, I colored the background with inks.

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. I colored the Pumpkins with Toger Orange and Burnt Sienna liquid acrylic.  

I colored the Foliage #22 and #27, the Swirly Vines #5, the Tea Leaves with Advaocado and Umber liquid acrylic. I added bronze wax on some of them.

I colored the flowers and change the center. 

To finish, I added some glitter.

Burgundy moths - Tag for Lindy's Gang DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Lindy's Gang blog with a new tag inspired by the beautiful color combo. 

Color Guidelines: Mulberry - Soft Pink - Silver

Challenge Ingredient: Vintage

I worked on a piece of canvas linen that I colored with Gag me With a Spoon Gray and Black Hole Black. Gag me With a Spoon is a beautiful gray with a pink undertone. One of my favorite colors. 

Next, I added a design with 3D Gloss gel which I covered with Magic Moon Pearl EP before it was completely dry. I embossed the powder and insisted until the gel bubbled to add more texture. 

I die cut some leaves, ferns, branches, and berries which I colored with Long John's Silver and Open Arms Amethyst. I used the last one to color the flowers as well. 

I primed the resin elements with clear gesso. To color the frame, I used the Bombshell Black Starburst, then the Old Silver wax to highlight the details. I colored the moths with the Plum Knödel Purple Magical, then with Bombshell Black. I used the Old Silver and the Aged Bronze waxes to highlight the details. 

To finish, I added some silver glitter.

Relax, we're all crazy ... - Lindy's Gang DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up Lindy's Gang blog with my teamies for a new challenge. The challenge ingredient is retro which naturally led me to go through my stock of old postcards to find the right one. 

Color Guidelines: Bright Green - Purple - Royal Blue

Challenge Ingredient: Retro

To make my background, I used Plum Knödel Pumpkin, Just be Kind Cobalt, and Lucky Shamrock Green Magicals. When dry, I added a design with a stencil and 3D gloss gel.

When the gel was completely dry, I sprayed the whole page with Bombshell Black. The gel has a resist effect meaning that the ink didn't stay on the gel. I used tissue paper to remove the ink. And voilà!

I stamped a text which I embossed with Queen Sheba's Silver EP.

To finish I added some glitter.

• Starburst - Bombshell Black;

True friendship - Art journal page for Lindy's Gang DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Lindy's Gang blog with a new page of my Art Journal.

Color Guidelines: Teal - Orange - Mustard Yellow

Challenge Ingredient: Animals

I sprayed a piece of watercolor paper with California Poppy Gold and Tibetan Poppy Teal. I dried the inks, then I dabbed the paper to pick up the ink left-over, then dry. I repeated this until there was no ink left. I sprinkled water as well and dried it. 

I stamped with a text stamp and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide. I continued with black ink. 

Next, I added a design with a stencil and Crushed Crystal paste. 

I inked the edge with black Distress ink, sprinkled the Tin Roof, Rusted! EP on it, and heat embossed.

To finish, I stamped the sentiment on a second watercolor âper sprayed with the same ink

Vintage - Mixed media panel for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new mixed media panel. I worked with the colors of the June color combo. 

Here is the color combo.

I glued a piece of Fabric tape the whole length of the panel. Next, I tore a piece of paper which I glued on top of the fabric tape and washi tape on the side. I added some stitch washi tape on each corner. To finish, I added a design with paper paste and the Lace Stencil.

I primed all the chipboards with white gesso. When dry, I colored them with brown and black liquid acrylic paints. I wanted the ATC Frame #6, the Mini Suitcases, and the Flowers Stamens to be darker than the rest, so I didn't dilute the paints. For the Seedling and Wildflowers #5, I watered down the paints as well as for the Old coins.

I added white gold wax to the coins and vintage gold wax to the frame.  

When everything was glued. I colored lightly the design with the same paints. 

To finish, I add some Golden dragon paste and glitter.
