Picture Perfect Moment

Today I'm back with Penelope Dee

 the New Postcards Collection!

A Picture Perfect Moment captured of my husband’s aunt, Muriel.

No-one knows where the photo was taken or what age Muriel is in this photo. We are therefore reminded just how important it is to document our life stories.

 

To create the background, I stencilled and stamped with Jet Black Stazon, Chipped Sapphire and Barn Door Distress Inks. 

Alcohol Ink was applied to the chipboard title, arrows and circles. 

Fussy-cut words, tags, tickets and ephemera elements as well as netting, 

metal clock pieces and flowers were added to complete the layout.

I simply love these colours!

Using a music I stencilled with heavy Gesso.

Then using the Liquid acrylic paints, blue and purple watering them 

down.

 Then I added crackle paint

For the chippies I first painted with gesso and applied the paint.

I used a piece of card board and also painted with gesso and dusted with all purpose frost white, to get a shimmer!

Using Dry wall tape as my stencil and stazon jet black ink, 

added a bit of depth.

I also included blue net and Art stones.

To Travel Is To LIVE!

Hiya,

I'm here with my last impression of the April mood board.

I love to travel and am lucky enough to have been to Chicago

and see the Bean! 

Unfortunately, I don't have such a gorgeous picture 

but found this photo on Pexels!

This is a mixed media canvas!

For the back ground I started mixing Dusty Attic paints

Raisen/Cranberry/Sugar plum in heavy gesso.

{I kept adding bit by bit of paint until I had the desired colour}

Using a pallet knife I applied my paint mixture on the the canvas a third of the way down.  Once dry I used Prima Liquid acrylic paint

~Black Ink with fluid medium~ 

I then fussy cut Kaisercraft Factory- ironwork's page, attach there the two colours meet on the canvas.

Then I stencilled City Skyline - Dusty Attic- using graphite paste - Prima

after drying, I then flipped the stencil and using Nuvo Glitter paste

~ White and Gold~

Then I used Sunset Orange - Tim Holtz Alcohol ink to add a touch of colour.

For my Chip boards I used All purpose ink

~frost White~

then touching with Prima acrylic paint 

~Black Berry/Iris Potion~ and shading the 

edges with these two colours.

Attaching everything down,

and adding a touch of the white Nuvo glitter paste to the skyscrapers>

Hello beautiful people,

I truly hope you all had a wonderful Easter!

So for my first impression of the April mood board, is Easter related!

This is an off the page project of an Ostrich egg.

This one’s a bit more complicated, in that I used a Dremel tool.

{It’s a handheld grinder for use in all sorts of hobbies.}

I took my egg and cut the front off

and then I cut it to look broken, as well as drilling little holes in it!

Once I had done that, I began to stain with Tim Holtz Alcohol inks

~Sunshine yellow and Red Pepper~

For the Chip boards I painted with Prima Art Alchemy Sparks paint, 

as well as Rust Effect paste

~Fairy Wings and Rust paste Brown~

For the eggs I used Polystyrene eggs.

I painted with inks first, then crackle paint and then the top coat.
Splatted with brown paint watered down.

For the title I used Tim Holtz Alcohol inks
~Clover and Citrus~ 

and to give a bit of shimmer I dusted with All purpose ink 

~Champagne Mist~ 

I then Glued everything in place and the last touches were

 the broken looking pieces of egg that I attached last!

I truly hope that I have inspired you to step 

out of your comfort zone and 

Try something NEW!!!

Happy Crafting
