Little Robin

Hi Everyone,

I loved making this Mixed Media piece. I picked up a little plaque thing from B&M bargains it was £1.60 .. and the little rectangle at the bottom swivels round to reveal a different message. I bought all of them when I saw them so I have another 3 in the loft ready to alter lol.

I started off by priming it by using Spray Gesso from Pinto ( love that stuff makes priming a piece soooo easy!! ) I then used the Poinsettia stencil and used some 3D embossing past through it .. when it had dried I coloured it us using some Dylusions Ink sprays. .. when that had dried I used the Winter/landscape Trees This time I put a Gel Medium through it, so it dried clear, & kept the colours of the background in it, I sprinkled a little glitter into it as it dried. Then to emphasise the design I went round the edges of the design using a inktense pencil. 

Then to decorate I used The Robin on a Branch Die & Stamp Set I die cut the branch & stamped out the little robin and coloured with my Ecoline Brush Pens. I then highlighted various areas using Nuvo Transparent liquid Pearls & finally added a sentiment from There is Snow Place Like Home

Digi Choosday - week 22

Hi All & welcome to another Digi Choosday, which means fabulous discounts, yaaaaay!!! So please do pop over to the blog to grab today's discount code. The challenge as always is Anything Goes, so I do hope you will share your makes with us, as I love being inspired by you all.

This week our Jan challenged us all to  use something not for its normal purpose, I realised how much we do that in papercraft anyway, buttons, lace, feathers e.c.t are part of our normal crafty stash ( just shows how adaptable and creative we all are ) I really wanted to think out the box for this one, so I went for a walk and picked up some twigs, I have then wrapped them with pink string & dry brushed with Gesso. I also used some packaging on the back of my card to add a little texture.

I then used some of the floral elements from the gorgeous Magic Garden collection to decorate the card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Stampin Unicorn Canvas

Hi All ... I'm back with another Stampin Unicorn project. One of the things I love about stamps is you can take them in any crafty direction .. Today I have gone for a real mixed media canvas.

To create this I made a background by using the LDRS embossing folders and some of the tags & wooden shapes from the magic sparkles embellishment kit I then covered it all in Gesso, when it was dry I added some pigment powders for a splash of colour.

I then coloured up the butterflies from Daisy Friends as a feature and used the words from the set too to ass as a sentiment. I created some highlights by adding a pink guilding wax and then framed it using a Black Ecoline watercolour pen.

I would like to add this to the following challenges:

Stamping Unicorn - Sewing Hoop

Hi All,

Sharing another make from the latest Stampin Unicorn release ... For this make I altered a sewing hoop I used 2 paper packs Butterfly Dreams and the sentiment is from Bits & Pieces I covered the background of the hoop with the paper, and then cut lots of strips of various sizes, and then dry brushed it all with a little gesso. I fussy cut loads of leaves from one of the papers, and some of the butterflies, I mixed my fussy cut pieces with the gorgeous Heavenly Dreams Embellishment kit ... this is so lush, you need it in your life!! & finally I covered the whole project in paint splatters.

You can find the latest release as a bundle at Polkadoodles or Hochanda

Old Jeans

 

Hello Its Ruby Rainbow Sparkle here, today I am here with one of the strangest makes I have ever made, lol :-)

I have created a mixed media canvas using an old pair of jeans. I started off by slapping fabric paint over it. I have used Dotty about Flowers I stamped onto Fabric and coloured with fabric paint. I then did some stitched detail. When I had done that I painted the reverse of the fabric with a solution of PVC & Water ... when it had dried I cut out and used to embellish my canvas.

I also layered up some of the Fourni papers and The Magic Sparkle Sentiment Toppers.

Products are also available at Polkadoodles and on Hochanda
