HI! Thanks for stopping by! Today I have a Big Canvas 10x20 to show you!

Starting off I took Finnabair Rust Effect Paste and layered it through a stencil until I got the color Combo to look rusted.

Next I took My Rice paper from Stamperia and fussy cut the dress form,I kept the trimmimgs from the paper. I traced the dress onto chipboard and cut that to size also, giving the dress some sturdiness.

Here You see I add the trimmings of left over rice paper with soft gel medium and trace the outline of the dress to canvas so I know my focal point!

I added stencil with Brown Archival ink and some stamping with black archival, This helps blend the rice paper into the background.

I added a few spritzes of Lindy's gang sprays in (Merci Beaucoup Mint) I add extra cardboard to the back of the dress so it sits higher up on the canvas, I'm playing around with the postion of all my bobs and bits.

After figuring out my composition I give everything a layer of Black gesso and glue down with heavy gel medium

I take rust paste and also the turquoise paste from the Norther Lights Texture fantasy set and add it to all my embellishments.

Next I add all my finishing touches Prills in (Aqua Net) Tim Holtz (story sticks) Finnabair Vintage Melange art pebbles, and Finnabair waxes in (Vintage Gold) and (Bronze Age). Thats It! hope you like it! X0x0

Shabby Chic? Altered Dessert plate!

Hiya! Happy Friday! Today I am gonna show you how I designed this dessert plate! Project for My Rusty Crown DT

Well your gonna need a plate LOL I didnt prep it at all but, you totally could add texture with a stencil or crackle pastes!

So I got out all my embellishments,my main ones at least, I coated my Prima resin pieces with clear gesso and went about gluing them down with heavy Body Gel.

I used Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Shakers in colors (Delicate Blossom) (Rich Wine) (Grass Green) and (Bright Sunshine). These little jars have a shaker top, so easy to sprinkle on.. After I Sprinkled my colors I lightly sprayed them with water and dried with a heat gun, I did each color separately.

Here Is what It looked like right after drying, I purposely shook some on the other side of the plate for a cute splatter effect. I Took a dry brush and dry brushed on some white gesso to bring all of the texture to the surface. I then added (Blush Haze) Holographic Glitterbitz and Prills in ( Coral See). for the last added touch I took (White Gold) Prima Finnabair Metallique wax half way around the edge of the plate.

Done!

Message in a bottle

I made this Bottle to enter in the Lindy's Gang Challenge I didn't have the exact colors so I improvised with what I had and tried to lighten them up with gesso LOL.

If you want to enter the Challenge this month or any month to come the link for all the info is HERE

Hi! Happy Monday to everyone! I have had this idea In my head for a while. When I woke up yesterday morning it just would not leave my mind. So I took my behind up to my local dollar tree and purchased this oil bottle for $1. I took out the spout and replaced it with a cork and on I went to start my creation!

I started off with taking some sheet music and torching it with my heat tool. I then rolled it and added a remnant rub on message from Tim Holtz (Life Quotes) then tied it with string. The bottle I used some Grainy Texture Paste from Little Birdie Crafts through a stencil. I also added Little Birdie Mixed media sand and mixed media stones in the bottle mixed in with glitter, mica flakes and small sea shells.

Next step I added some cleat Gesso around the bottle,leaving the message area clean. I added moss in brown and green, I used some resin coral and a mermaid tail,using Finnabair heavy gel to glue them on. I Used Pentart expand paste on the coral. brushing on the expand paste with a brush and heat setting it adds tons of texture to the coral!

Here I took mica powders Finnabair art stones in all sizes and soft gel and mixed it all up. Adding it all over the bottle. I added on more shells and coated them all with clear Gesso.

Now for my most favorite part! COLOR! I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays in (Shabby Turbine Teal) (Delphinium Turquoise) (Time Travel Teal) (Rusty Lantern) Moon Shadow Mist in (Treasure Island aqua) and Little birdie Color Splash in (Gold Rush) and (Grape Crush). spraying colors and misting with water helps the colors blend nicely together!

After your colors are super good and dry. I took white Gesso and dry brushed all the elements to help define them better and to give a nice pop! I added Prills in (Spruce Willis) Cosmic Shimmer Glitterbitz in (Spring Fever) and (Mermaid Purple). ANNNND DONE!
