Small mixed media canvas

Hello Arty Souls,

This is my little extra project for June. Sometimes I create those little canvas to add to the gift instead of the card. It takes no time to make them and they are nice personal touch to the present.

I used the fabulous June kit from Cardz'n'Scrapz and following art supplies:

Chipboard Blueberry Clock

Create Paper Pad 6x6 Oh Darling 

Gelatos

 Derwent Inktense Pencils

Acrylic paint Lagoon 
paper flowers
5x5 canvas
stamps

I started by gluing random pieces of Create Paper Pad. Than I added some paint and doodles. I also use stamp to add more texture. When I use stamps, I never go for a perfect picture, I just stamp randomly using half of the stamp. When my background was finished I added paper doily and chipboard clock.

I also added some paper flowers

I hope you enjoed the project.

See you in July!!!

Love,

Sylwia

My Vintage Angel- mixed media painting by Sylwia

Hello Arty Souls!

This is my second project for May. I decided to incorporate  this divine vintage kit into my mixed media painting. I love creating whimsical girls, fairies and angels so there it is My Vintage Angel:)

Art Supplies used in the project:

Tim Holtz Adventus Idea Ology Paper Stash Pad

Ranger Inkssential Memory Frames

Prima Marketing Chalk Fluid Edger Pad
Chipboard Background Lattice 

Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist
Acrylic Silks

Acrylic Paint
Texture Paste

I started off by tearing pieces of paper by Tim Holtz and gluing them to the background. Than I outlined my angel and painedt the background using old credit card. It is more scratching than painting but trust me I didn't use any brush in this painting. I 'painted' it only with plastic card. That is why the texture looks uneven and grungy.

The same technique I used to paint the face and hair...

I decided not to cover whole background with paint. I love this butterfly/moth:) 

I also sprayed the pieces of chipboard background lattice with  glimmer mist and glued it to the background. It is hard to see it on the photo, but this mist gives beautiful gold shimmer effect:) Love It!

And I used Memory Frame to make a necklace for my angel. I cut the inside of the frame and a heart out of piece of cardboard, which goes with a vintage theme:)

As for wings I decided to use texture paste and stencils:) And also I decided not to cover the dress with paint completely, as I wanted beautiful papers to show through.

I hope you enjoyed this project:)

Vintage layout by Marta

Hello my friends.

It's Marta here with my second May project.

I would love to share with you my vintage layout.

As a base for my layout I used beautiful paper from Tim Holtz Idea Ology. The lovely roses that you can see where originally on the paper. I tried to show the beauty of the papers by not covering it but to integrate it with my design.

The whole layout is stiched around by sewing machine. 

I also used stamping and stenciling on the backround.

All the paper pieces were inked on the edges. 

Under the flower you can see Chipboard Backround Lattice. I covered it with Prima Chalk Edger.

Added flowers were from my stash. The butterfly was cut out from the same paper. This is a great idea if you don't have much embellishments. Try to find on the papers some designs that could be cut out and used as your very own embellisment. Here is the photo of those paper butterflies.

Another stunning addition to the project was Prima Marketing Shabby Chic Treasures Resin Railings. I distress it with black ink and Prima Marketing Chalk Fluid Edger Pad Dark Rust.

I hope you have enjoyed this project. If you didn't see my vintage cards please check them out here :)

Love, Marta x

Vintage cards by Marta

Hello crafty people ;)

I hope you are having a great May weekend.

I am super happy that I can share with you my new creations from May kit.

I have decided to do two different vintage cards.

Both of the cards have the same style. I cut out some shapes from stunning Tim Holtz papers. I wanted to show how nice, vintage designs are on the pages. I inked all edges of the cut our papers. 

My most recent love are the strings (in all kids). 

As you can see I have wrapped the card around with some old string from my stash (I think the string comes from a parcel I have received from my parents ages ago). 

I added stunning chipboard lacy bird. In the reality it is absolutely beautiful, delicate and so cute embellisment. Those few flowers are also from my stash but you could use any kind of paper flowers.

Finally my favourite stamp from Kaisercraft Texture Stamp.

Here is few more close ups pictures:

 Our May kit ;)

My second card was also created with stunning Tim Holtz Papers. The flowers were made by me - all you need is paper circle and scissors. I added some chipboard backround lattice covered with white paint. Of course some string under the flower :) My backround has some Tim Holtz stencil with dots and Tattered Angels Mist - colour coffee shop.

Few more close ups ;)

I hope You have enjoyed my vintage cards. I love vintage, dark, old and sometimes dirty look of my creations. Tim Holtz papers are divine and it was my big pleasure to use them! My next project is on it's way... In the mean time If you haven't see my April projects please feel free to take a look ;) at Seaside Layout, Picture Frame or Cards.

Have a great and creative day !

Lots hugs,

Marta x
