Vision

This chipboard frame  rom Bo Bunny is lovely. But I love everything with swirls. 



For this project I’ve used a globe architecture from 7Gypsies, text from Visible Image, crackle paint from DecoArt Media and some hearts from my stash. 

I used white crackle paint on the frame but didn’t cover it proper. I colored the background to the frame too. I’ve used a stencil with numbers from to make some details both in frame and background. 



I added Tim Holtz Distress Oxides smoked hickory and antique linen on my table and sprayed with water. After I put the frame into the Oxides for a bit more vintage look. 



I glued the frame on the background and touched the numbers with a bit grey color for pop out. 



As you can see I also colored the hearts with crackle paint and used the stencil on them. 



The pieces of papers I’ve used here is actually the thin cartoon paper that is under the globe in the packet.. 



I glued everything I wanted on top of the frame, paper dolls from Tim Holtz, The globe and the stamped text that I also cut apart.



I used vintage photo oxide with water and added to the frame, under and around details



I did a last touch with some white crackle paint on the frame. 



The stars are Architextures from 7 Gypsies. 



The small art stones are from Prima: Finnabair.

As u can see on the heart I also added some glass beads.

Altered Paint Brush (Sea Life)

Hello Happy Friday Everyone!!!!

Today I'm showing you how I altered a Paint brush using some great products! All Links will be below as always!

Here I'm  using a 3 inch Painters brush. With a stencil I used Finnabairs limestone paste.

Not waiting for it to dry I added some cheesecloth, a resin piece,and a left over ribbon spool using gel medium

Now i'm mixing some finnabair art stones in with gel medium, adding them inside the spool to give some depth. I also take Stamperia glass paste and add it all around the spool for some more texture.

I take two resin dolphins I made with the sea life stamperia mould, and add them on top of that ribbon spool. after everything is good and dry I add A coat of clear gesso.

Now My Favorite part! Adding color! Today I used some Tim Holts Distress sprays in blue and yellow. I kept layering the colors. I would dry then add more.

Here is where I added some art pebbles (melange) I was gonna highlight this with silver wax, you can see it on the dolphin tails and the shells, but I didn't love it.

So I added some black finnabair glass glitter to add some more depth under the dolphins, I also took white gesso and dry brushed everything to make all the elements pop! Lastly I used some Prills for more texture!

finished pictures.

Art Journal

Hello dear crafting friends. Today I’ve made an art journal with a lot of stamps from Stampotique. Stencil, Distress Markers and Distress Oxides from Tim Holtz, Stencil from Aall & Create. Crackle paint from Deco Art Media. 


After I colored all stamped pictures I cut them out and moved them around on a white paper until I felt satisfied where they will be. 


I used a patterned paper as base. I added doileys and cheese cloth with crackle paint. 



I used the stencils together with white crackle paint. 


On top of everything I added Distress Oxides and sprayed with water. 


I added the colored stamps.

Artist Trading Coins

Artist Trading Coins with Visible Image and Stampotique

I used a die cutting machine and cut my watercolor paper and an old cereal box for the back. These coins are 2.5 inches around.

I used Cindy Seahorse and black embossing powder,Next I used my Nuance powder. just a sprinkle of these powders and a spritz of water and you can make custom watercolors!

I did the same thing for my Coins! spritzed with water and water colored them! these powders are so very vibrant! I then took distress ink and some Tim Holtz stencils and added some more design to the backrounds!

Using Black ink I  took it all around the edges of the coins and my images.

Glued them down with some gel medium and started my doodling with a white gel pen.

 Added some Tim Holtz quotes more doodling and thats all! Links for products used down below.

ATC cards with Stampotique

Hi! 

Have u seen those sweet newbies from Stampotique! Am in love with them. One big and one tiny little sweetie. 

 

I’ve made ATC cards for june months swap at MyRustyCrown at Facebook. The theme for June is KEY. 

I have used papers from Stamperia. The stamped voododolls are colored with distressmarkers from Tim Holtz. I have distressed the edges on the papers. I love it vintage. 


The size of an ATC (Artist Trading Card) is settled: 2,5x3,5 inch/6,4x8,9 cm. The fence is a die from Tim Holtz, and the metal tag is from Tim Holtz as well. I found a key from Prima and some thread for my bow in my stash. 

I began with glue the patterned paper on my ATC base. And then in order like this: Fence, voodoo dolls, tag, bow and key. 


I colored around all paper edges with white crackle paint from DecoArtMedia. And on some details too. 


I glued some prills in the corners for more details. 


If u want to join the ATC swap, u will find it in an album at My Rusty Crown Inspiration group. Welcome! And thanks for watching.
