4-1 Mixed Media Canvas!


Today I'm showing you How I created these four 10x10 panels They look awesome up on the wall! they cant be separated more and still look pretty darn cool but I didn't want to put tons of holes in my wall for the sake of pictures! LOL. I'll have a product list at the bottom like always!
First I Put my panels all together and grabbed my focal point ( Creative Expressions)  (Pop-ems Scene- Heart). This heart come in a neat little kit with nuts bolts,the heart and a Tag!  I layed my heart out and cut it up a couple more times to I could get Four section, one section for each panel.



Next I took these awesome new Texture Impressions molds made by Stamperia! I poured my resin and used them as my background, I ripped some so I had a little texture all over. I then added a light layer of Clear crackle paint to the empty spaces.


I gesso'd the whole thing in black and started to figure out my Composition, I Started with the hearts and build around those.


Another pic of me figuring it all out and starting to add more black Gesso to my embellishments.


The whole thing in a whole


Covered the whole Thing In Gesso ! Now its ready for color!


Here I start adding my Colors, Around the edges I Used Stamperias Mixed Media Aqua Color in (Water Green) the middle I start spraying with LB  (Ocean Mist) I dry all colors inbetween layering them, I use a brown and also  LB (Paprika) I was trying to replicate an old vintage Oxide look with out having to use paints, Sprays can get into all the nooks and crannys!


Now I just added all my extra bits! and my Finishing Touches, I went over the middle with Vintage Gold wax from Finnabair ( my favorite one). I then went over the whole thing with white gesso with a dry brush! I added some metals by Finnabair and splattered the heck out of it with white paint! 





Hope It gave you all Some Inspiration with the ) Pop ems and the Stamperia molds! XOXO Nicole

Let loose Journal page

This week I decided to make my Journal page for the (Build A Journal) event we are having over at My Rusty Crown Inspiration Facebook group! I just Let Loose! Now I don't mind a chunky journal, I think it gives it some charm! My Partner is also a chunky layering person so I went with it!


I started with My 6x9 paper, I used mixed media paper so it would hold up good to all my mediums! I started off with stamping, I like to do this to get an idea of where I want to place everything, I used the 49andMarket stamp Pascales formula along with some other random stamps. ( I keep a pile of go to stamps on my desk that I like to grab for background stamping).


I then Cut Out my Elements so I could move them around and have them sitting by for color reference. I used these awesome dragons from the New Craft Box paper pad ( The Dreamer). I have the 6x6 pads. they are awesome size for journal pages!


Now I'm ready to start my process, I used some TH washi tape for texture and (background Noise) I then gave a white was of gesso to the page and used a Little Birdie stencil and modeling paste to add more texture!


Now I start adding some color using Cosmic shimmer,shimmer shakers I just keep sprinkling the powder and spritzing with water and drying in between colors. 


I took some black sewing thread and added that along with more stamping! I also took some colorsplash and lindy's sprays and went to town with splattering! (splattering Colors is an addiction for me)!


Here is a Stamperia Mould I used Some resin in,I used very little resin, paper thin. I didnt wait the whole 10 mins for it to cure, as soon as I was able to puul it out I did. the resin was still soft so I took scissors and cut the wings away from the heart. I color them with black gesso and give them a dusting of finnabair wax in (Blue Velvet)


Here Im rearranging How I want these places and gluing them together
