ATC's for Art and Soul Mixed Media

Hi everyone, today I am on the Art and Soul Mixed Media blog to share a couple of ATC's that I have created using this months quote and the Yupo paper available in the store.

This months quote:

I began by applying watercolour to the Yupo paper with alot of water and letting the watercolours do their thing.

I then applied some Jane Davenport washi tape to the red and yellow ATC.  I then swiped with a baby wipe.  The thing about Yupo paper is the water colour stays wet for a very long time, allowing for blending and movement.

I have used an alphabet stamp to create the title and a carabelle eye stamp for the main eye.

For this one, I have used the Jane Davenport faces stamp

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a chance to have a go at creating a project using this months quote :)

Altered Box for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Design Team

Hi, today I am up on the Creative Artiste Mixed Media blog to share an altered box I have created using the wonderful Maja Design papers from the Vintage Autumn Basics Collection.

Maja Designs are the sponsors for us this month and you can find their website here

This is the box before I started - I purchased a new purse from Vera May - and I love it :)

I began by covering the box in the Maja Design paper on all the edges and adding some lace along the edges where the two designs meet.

I had previously made some embellishments using silcone moulds and No More Gaps - they worked well as they were very flexible.  I have used them for the centre piece and the side doillies.

The centre piece (which is two separate pieces) have been painted with Lumiere Paints in Metallic Rust, Rose Gold and Pearl White.

I have used a Bo Bunny Romance stamp embossing powders on the top of the box.  The birdcages I have used Ranger Embossing Powder in Copper and the rest of the stamping I have used Stampendous Embossing Powder - Pearl White.

Here are some close ups:

The butterflies were cut from the Maja Design paper - 6th May.  I also highlighted them by using dimensional magic.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope that I have inspired you to have a go this month.  You will find all the details on the blog here

altered jewellery box - for Scrapbook Boutique

Hi there, today I am up on the Scrapboook Boutique blog with a jewellery box that I have decorated using the awesome 49 & Market paper from the Heirloom Botanicals collection

This is the jewellery box - which I can remember where I got it from as it has been in my cupboard for a while!

I painted all the edges with Distress Paint - Victorian Velvet.  I used Finnabairs Art Alchemy Sparks paint - Butterfly Spells for around the mirro and the ring holder.

The rest was ALOT of fussy cutting!

ATC's for Funky Flair

Hi there - Today I would like to share some ATC's I created for Funky Flairs.  It is cold and wet in Tasmania at the moment and I though I would create a little bit of spring!  I have used the Funky Bricks Collection found here 

Below I have a couple of process steps to create these ATC's

I began with water coloured paper and a mini Tim Holtz brick stencil using crackle paste.  Once that had dried I used Prima Water confections paint to add a bit of colour.

To create the butterflies, I again used water colour paper and the prima paints

I then stamped and die cut them using a kaisercraft stamp/die cut.

I have used Scrap fx chipboard which I have embossed using Nuvo Embossing powder - Blue Odyssey, Lindy Stamp Gang Drop Dead Gorgeous Green and Hi Maintenance Magenta.

Here are some close ups:

Thanks for stopping by and dont forget the moodboard challenge this month.

art journal page for Art and Soul Design Team

Morning :)  Today I am up on the Art and Soul Blog to share an art journal page that I have created using the fabulous products from the Art and Soul Store found here 

Life in accounting is hectic in the month of July and this page represents how I have felt this month!

I began by putting random paint marks down on my art journal page.  I have used Golden High Flow Paints and Golden Acrylics.

I added highlights

and then added more colour

I then used a Scrap Fx stencil/mask  to create the people by blanking out the areas with brown and black acrylic ink.

Once I had the people in there, I added dimension by using a white paint pen to outline them and black distress ink to further enhance them. 

Here are some close ups:

the words were added using a alpha stamp and white big brush pitt pen.
