Happiness Is....

I'm Back...

As you know I love all things Marilyn Monroe!!!
I found this gorgeous photo of her and could not resist!

Using a round canvas, with a brick and square stencil,

 I applied Heavy Gesso and let dry! 

I then painted Prima sparkle paints, watered down 

and dabbed with a wet wipe, to create the back ground! 

I also used All-Purpose inks on the frames, and the resin lamp.

I fussy cut Kaisercraft Anthology-Botanist page.

I tore a piece of music paper. 

I placed and layered everything, adding grass 

For the final touch, using the brick stencil drew on the canvas!

Adding

 Dusty in Bloom green flowers and one Prima!

Love your Smile!

Hello from a wet Cape Town,

Today, I'm here with the first of 3 projects!

Love Your Smile....

This is my friends Daughter who got Engaged

and did a beautiful photo shoot for the occasion.

The back ground I used Tim Holtz Alcohol ink -Clover on a wet wipe , 

rubbed on the page! 

Then stuck down my grass added Art Stones-small 

using collage medium from Tim Holtz. 

I then used coffee {Yes normal Coffee} and poured on letting it run

and splatting it. Let dry!

I then added more Collage medium in places 

and sprinkled Dress my craft Sequins- green.

For the Doilies I also used the coffee, 

I then took a wooden embossed card and 

used Dark brown chalk to highlight the wooden grains!

I paint the the iron garnish with All-purpose ink -Champagne 

and dusted my title Love Your Smile.

I then started layering and putting all together.

I included Die cut clocks; Prima Flowers and metal embellishments.

My Violin!!

Hello gorgeous people,

Off the cuff, I decided to do a Violin!!
This isn't part of a mood board but all my chippies are Dusty Attic!

I made it personal by attaching a photo of my Ballerina Mum!

Using all things Prima Marketing Inc. {flowers, sparkle paints, gesso and crackle paints} and a vine from 49 and Market.

All the chippies are from Dusty Attic.

My resin Flourishes and hearts are from Rustic Bling.

I had so much fun with this and hope you like it too!

Thanks for looking!

Perfect Moments!

I’m back,

This is my beautiful girl, named Baby.

Sadly, I lost her a few years ago and she is buried her under my palm trees!

I worked on a canvas and used paper from Kaisercraft.

I added bandage tape, Prima washi tape and paper strips first, then using heavy gesso from Prima painted over lightly, let dry, then I watered down my stormy Sky Tim Holtz paint, letting run and helping it with a paint brush in the directions I wanted. Let dry, then using a script stencil, stencilled over in places and added blue glitter.

I used coffee to colour my doily. I tore corrugated paper and a piece from a book chalked them with dark brown on the edges and added washi tape over the corrugated piece.

I painted my chippies with all-purpose ink. I cut the wings off the key and cut up one of the lace boarders. For the tab, I lightly painted the blue and topped off with the all-purpose ink.

Placing everything and sticking down, and adding lace; pins; wool and flowers with a few 49 and market flowers. The strip at the bottom of the Kaisercraft page was so apt!

Best Memories

Hello scrappy friends,

This is my first of two layouts for the months of August!

This is a photo I took of my nephew 11 years ago. Where does time go!

I worked on a canvas and added a baby blue torn page from Kaisercraft. I added dry wall tape first, then Stencilled stars on the top half, I dropped coffee on the bottom of the canvas, let dry, and stencilled over adding glitter.

I tore pages from a book chalked them with dark brown and added washi tape, then attached under the torn half of the page.

I painted the fancy frames with antique linen paint and separated the title words and chalked with dark brown.

While this was drying, I then went to YouTube to make my pipe cleaner teddy bears!

{The Multicrafteral Lab: The five minute mini teddy bear

multicrafteral.blogspot.com/2016/10/the-five-minute-mini-teddy-bear.html}

Placing everything { flowers: Prima and hand made, also used gauze to create a soft effect}I cust flags chalking with dark brown and stuck it all down. I use hot glue and double sided tape to give depth. once this is all done I stencilled again using Novo mousse.
