Archway To Morocco


Happy Friday! 
Today I'm showing you a 12X12 canvas using the Archway to morocco door by Hobbilicious.



I prep my canvas with white gesso.



Now I'm trying to figure out my composition. I have these prima chipboards I want to use.


I start off with basic Gold acrylic paint.


I now take my chippies and layer them with white gesso as well.


I love using makup blending sponges! i use this to add color all over my chippies.


I start with gluing them all down. 


Now i just do some random stamping on them with black ink.


This step I needed this to be grungy to I took brown fluid acrylic, painted over the whole thing and gently dabbed off.


Here is a better view.


Now to work on the door! this came with easy to follow instructions!I just took each layer and used emerald creek embossing powder to add color.





Then its time to add my goodies. I struggle sometimes with grungy things.. I added mitform and flowers and goodies for the MRC shop. Ill have all thing linked below as always!

Embossing and stencil

Hello dear crafting friends. 
I Am a bit late with this post but here it is. :) 



I found a hen net that I wanted to use on my canvas. 
I draw a head of a woman in cardboard and colored it black with gesso. The paper under is from Stamperia. 



I added some structure and pattern to the head with this stencil from Stamperia. I used embossing powder under the head. 



I colored the pattern from stencil in black. 



I added some embossing powder as some kind of hair, and rust paste on a bit here and there to make it a bit “dirty”. 



I added some patina gold on top of the embossing and rust at the face. And decorated around with some flowers, text and small details. 



I splashed with orange color over it. 








Thanks for looking! 
Love, MiloLilja

Baby It's Cold Outside

Happy Friday MRC! Today I'm featuring a Pink Ink Design stamp. I'm using Luna Fairy and turning her from a spring fairy into a winter ,ready for snow fairy!



I am making a winter themed card using Luna fairy, So I start off with stamping my girl and flowers on watercolor paper, I'm using colored pencils for coloring.


After she is cut out, I stamper her again on my card panel that I also cut with watercolor paper.


See how she fits right on top? Now I dont have to fussy cut all the foliage.


Just playing around with my cuts to see how I'll layer it all!


I decided to go with Infusions powders. I used royal blood. I spritzed my paper then sprinkled the infusions


I used a baby wipe to soak up some color, then went over the color with white gesso.


Now I added some stamping ( using Jane davenport squid ink) and also embossed some snowflakes.


I glue down my flowers some lace and add some sequins. 


I dabbed white gesso on the flowers and added Nuvo crystal drops to the centers to give them a winter look and thats all!
Ill have links for product down below!
