Hi everybody!!

Today i'm here with a little mixed media piece i made out of an old photoframe i had laying around. I used these cool products from random arts shop:

I took the frame and put the pieces on it the way i like it. I played around a bit because i dont know up front what will look best. Then i covered everything in heavy gesso. Not everything needed to be well covered because i was going to use dark colours.
Once that was dry i painted it in a dark blue colour. I mixed blue and black to get the shade i wanted. Then i went over with, brown, purple, metallic turkois, lindy's spray, some waxes and rust pastes. I kept going back to it untill i was happy with the result, so i gave it multiple layers of each colour over and over again. That will give you more deapth. The waxes i put on last, to give it a nice finishing touch.

 Hello everybodyyy!

How are all of you liking the moodboard for february? This is my take on the wonderfull colours. I made a page in my art journal to show you something different for a change, This is how it turned out.

I'm using an old book as my art journal because i think this gives a nice background. And of course i've used some lovely products from random arts shop. I will list the things below. But here are the products i used.

Lovely set of products isn't it?! Ok so if you want to know how i made this page, keep reading ;)
I started to give my bookpages a wash of gesso. I wanted the words to show so i mixed gesso with a bit of water so it became a wash of gesso. Then i started spraying with some lindy's stamp gang sprays in purple and pink colours.. After this was dry i used a stencil from my stash with some distrss inks.
​

After that i stamped the big image on both pages. Make sure you use a permanent ink if you are going to use other fluids on the page. You dont want it to run over your page and loose your image!
​

Now its time to get a bit messy. I've used liqid acrylics violet. It was the first time i used it. But it is beautiful. Its such a bright colour. Even with adding the water it stays very bright. Beautiful. I let it drop down the page from the top and the bottom.

Give it a good dry with the heat tool and you are good to go. Then i chose some papers from the paper pack Breathe. I chose 3 different papers that matched the colours. Cut them in different sizes and glued them down. To make them stand out more i used neocolours and a black pen. 

Now i splattered some white and gold on the page. And added the border stamp from the stamppack to the sides of the pages. 
I cut out the arrows and a butterfly with my die cuts and punt the aged bronze enamel on it. I love this stuff! Then glued them to the page. With a stencil from my stash and some modelingpaste i gave some more texture to the background in the corners.

i used the nuvo drops in black to give an accent to the arrows and make them blend in with the page a bit. Now its time to add a sentiment to the page. I used the stamp from the pack. And a sticker that i had in my stash. I also lined them with black marker so they stand out more. As a finishing touch i put black ink on all sides of the pages. I hope you like it!
