NOTES

Good morning beautiful people!

We had a Dusty Attic mini challenge to do a note book!

I love doing different little things, in other words right up my alley!!

First, I took a black note book and painted with white gesso.

I then placed all my Chippies and metal corner flourishes 

and stuck down with heavy body gel. I used an old page and also placed a stuck down.

I then painted with white texture crackle paste, making sure not to cover my printed page completely and let dry. 

(I find if you let dry naturally, one gets the most beautiful vintage type cracks. But you can dry with a heat gun!) 

I then strayed Prima Color Bloom - Poppy Fields and stone 

and to add contrast I used coffee. I also wanted a bit of shimmer so I used 

Prima Sparks - Butterfly Spells.

Once, completely dry I placed and stuck down all Prima, 

hand made flowers and metal embellishments.

I used Notes from the Tim Holtz range.

Hey ya, scrappers!

Here’s another impressions of the October mood board!

A quick yet effective canvas to inspire you!

Using K Craft Glimmer mist –Sunshine Yellow,

 plus water to help spread the paint, 

I poured onto the canvas and swirled with a paint brush.

Then, I used Prima Rust paste yellow; mustard and a touch of red, 

I painted the retro frame.

I found some roughly handmade paper dark brown and added hessian over. I then attached the frame and sanded the edges of my photo.

Finally, I added flowers, dried leaves and red berries.

Timeless Moments!

Hello friendly scrappers!

Today I’m back with my impressions of the October mood board!

Of witch I hope to inspire you!

A canvas, mixed media!

Using the new Nuvo Mica Mist- Nebula Blue, K Craft Glimmer mist – jade plus Prima Rust pastes- Yellow and red, I created the back ground using water to help spread the paints. With Metal plate I stencilled, cascading down the canvas, with Graphite texture paste. 

Then, I used Prima texture crackle paste.

For all the cog chippies,I cut up the industrial hearts and used Prima Sparks Raven Black paint and sprayed with the Nuvo over and added touches of the rust paste in places. 

And on the Hanging vines I used the K Craft spray.

Finally, I added dried roots, clocks and metal cogs.

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!
