Daydreaming!


Hello MRC! hope your weekend is fabulous! Today I'm gonna show you just a really simple altered photo frame.



I started with a 5X7 frame, I took out the glass first.


next I slathered in with white gesso about 2 coats!


using acrylic paint,I did a gradient on the frame from a medium blue to a teal color. and the inside from teal down to yellow.


Next I dry brushed the whole thing with white gesso.


here I just took some posca paint markers and doodles some flowers and dots.


Martina has these fabulous papers from A.B studio in her shop and i just cant get enough of them! I fussy cut them and just glued them right on! SOOO easy peasy!


xoxo Nicole!

Rusted Arrow

Happy Friday MRC
Today I have a cardboard Arrow I altered up!



I started off gluing down with gel medium, paper from the newly released Tim Holts paper pad "Abandoned"


I grabbed some of my resin moulds from stamperia and started adding them down as my first layer. I then covered the whole thing in clear gesso.


Now for some elements! I used mit_form casting, finnabair knobs and stars! they also got a layer of gesso!


For coloring I grabbed the Tim Holtz Oxide spray in Cracked pistachio


I added bits of color in orange and yellow, I then added glitter and prills for some extra texure. and finnabair wax in firebird.

Thats it super easy and fast! xoxo link below of products used!

Cosmo Dreams


 Happy Friday MRC fam! Today i'm showing you this triangle canvas using some new amazzzzing papers some mit_form and stencils! hope you like it!


I started with gluing down the Stamperia (Cosmos Bark) single paper.


I then used plaster paste through the new media stencil (Cosmos Astronomy) and added some random stamping!


I grabbed a navy blue and black water reactive spray and added it to the edges then spray with water so it would run through the stenciling! helps POP out that stencil.


now i'm adding mit form castings with gel medium. I grabbed some finnabair stars and resins and started putting them down too!


I used the

ABstudio - elements ABStudio&TandiArt - Just the way you are- 12'x12' i cut out the girl on the moon as my main element. 



everything got a clear coat of gesso, then I added blue spray to the elements. then dry brushed it all in white gesso. I sprinkled blue prills throughout for some texture and some feather light brushes of gold wax.
