Altered Letter S, September mood board Challenge

9/30/2020

Hello Lovelies. Here is my blog for the September mood board challenge.
I love the colours of this months mood board. The beautiful baby blues, teal and pinks are just stunning.

I created this Altered letter S for my daughter Scarlett for her 5th birthday. As she loves Elsa and all things Frozen this months mood board was the perfect inspiration to create something for her in her favourite colours.

Picture
I started with a hard timber letter i purchased from my local dollar store. I then played around with placement of the resins, chip boards and jewellery until i had a plan. The resins are available in store as are most of the chip boards. 
Picture
Once i was happy with placement i glued everything done and gave the whole thing a good coat of white gesso. I added a few flowers i had laying on my craft table from another project.
Picture
Using a soft brush i played around with Finnabair Opal Magic (Teal-blue and Pink-blue). I love this product so much. So smooth to paint with leaving just the right amount of shimmer to the project. I also added a little Lindy's sprays
​(Time traval teal and Azure sea Asters). 
Picture
Here i used Finnabair wax's. (Indian pink, Peacock and mint sparkle)
​I never really have a plan of attack when using the wax, i just do what feels right and have fun with it. I then added some mini prills and that's about it. 
Picture
I love all the small details in this, it looks amazing on scarlett's shelf. 

Thankyou for viewing my blog.

{Dear Diary}

Hey there!
​I'm back today with unfortunately my last DT layout for Random Arts. So I hope you like this layout.
Picture
Picture
I started this layout by stenciling with some transparent relief paste and then spritzing the paper to make the stenciling show.
Picture
I heat embossed all the chipboard on this layout.
Picture
​I arranged the euphoria pieces under and around the flowers and weaved the lace through, tying it into a bow
Picture
To finish off this layout I used some silver flakes over the flowers and around the page to make it sparkle. I also added some crystals.

So I hope you have enjoyed seeing my DT layouts for Random Arts this year. It was great being part of this wonderful Design Team.

Happy, Love, Beautiful Art Journal Page

Here is my free post blog for Randomarts. I decided to go back to basic's with an Art Journal Page. With the stresses of day to day life i personally needed time to reflect and find some inner calm. Working in an Art Journal is fantastic therapy.
Picture
I started this page by giving it a good coat of white gesso. Once dry i then used white texture paste through a variety of stencils, building up texture and patterns. I then used a graphite pencil to roughly draw a design. At the beginning i was feeling a fairy spirit through the page, however this changed as the page moved on.
Picture
Now this is where the fun started. I used so many fun product's here. I started by using a wet brush and smearing water all over one side of the page. I then dripped, sprayed and painted on Lindy's sprays and little birdie color blast. (full product list at the end of the blog)
I then added a little icing paste through another stencil to add some shimmer and shine. I used dylisions paints and tim holtz distress paint for the lady's face. 
Picture
I used watered down lindy's flat fabio to paint in the details of the face, eyes and lips. I added a few lines of hair to add more details. 
Picture









​I used black ink and stamps throughout the page, washed out places with white gesso and a baby wipe and used a black sharpie pen to detail where needed. 

Picture











​​I smudged white gesso so i could write some words. I adore how much texture this page has. Really happy with the outcome.

​Hello again crafty friends!
A new month brings a new mood board challenge at Random Arts and this one is my favourite - Mint! Who doesn't love that beautiful pastel soft colour :)
So here is my DT layout for this month's mood board, I hope you love it and get inspired to join in.
Picture
​For this background I used a rose stencil with white gesso, then sprinkled embossing powder over the top while it was still wet.
Picture
​I then arranged my elements under and around my photo. Once I attached my photo, I attached some chipboard chains on either sides which I heat embossed pink/white.
I also embossed some small puzzle chipboard pieces in the same colour and others in a shabby white colour.
Picture
​Once everything was attached in its place, I stuck some feather like flower stalks in between the flowers to soften it a little.
Picture
I scattered some art stones around the layout and attached some crystals. I also dabbed a small circular lid into black ink and randomly stamped it around the outside of the layout. And that's it!
I hope you liked my latest creation for Random Arts. You will find a list of products I've used below and on the website.
If you would like to give this month's challenge a go, here is the mood board- you could win a $25 store voucher or a guest designer spot! Good Luck! Enter here.
Picture
I will be back very soon with another new creation to show you! Until then...happy crafting! :)
