'Brilliant' layout + VIDEO by Marta

Hello guys,

It's Marta here with my last July project.

I have a little surprise for you today. I created mixed media layout and step by step video tutorial.

As my layout base I used Tim Holtz Idea Ology papers.

Stencil used in the project is from Crafters Workshop called Bricks.

For colouring the backround I used Silks from LuminArte - 'Yellow Rose' and Lindy's Stamp Gang Starbusrt 'Rudolph's Nose Red'.

To build my backround I used Kaisercraft Texture stamp 'Tiny Dot' and 'Inspire'.

I added flowers from my stash.

Wording is from Heidi Swapp Favourite Things Epoxy Stickers Words.

If you would like to see my creating process here is the video, enjoy :)

Hugs, Marta x

Blooming girls- art tags by Sylwia

Hello Art Souls!!!

 

 

We are in the middle of summer:) I hope you have planned your holidays and you either read this post having cool coke by the pool somewhere in a hot hot place or... LIKE ME you read it on your computer at home enjoying your cup of coffee:) But it doesn't matter where you are, you still need to keep your creative mojo going!!!:)

 

Today I wanted to show you three different mixed media technique  for designing the background of the tag. I use the same stamp but as you can see the outcome is totally different.

 

 

I used really cool July mixed media kit from Cardz'n'Scrapz

  

 

To be able to paint on the tag, I gessoed it first. Than I decided to doodle colorul flowers using Acrylic Silks. They gave these beautiful watercolour look. I left the middle of the tag plain as I knew that there will be a girl's face. Than I used the Prima Bloom Girl Stamp. I decided to go in with a black ball pen to highlight outlines of the girl, what  gave her more sketchy look. I added Heidi Swapp Stickers  and I distressed the edges with a black inkpad.

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the second tag I used the stencils, Ink Spray by Ranger and Fabsraps Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray as a first layer. After that I used acrylic paint with a bubble wrap to add even more texture. I stamped the image and added some butterflies. When the tag dried, I added some lace and washi tape at the bottom. Than I added Heidi Swapp Stickers

 

 

 

 

My third art tag is a collage made of different papers. I stamped the girl on the book page. I colored it in with my beloved Faber Castell Gelatos and Pitt Brush Pens (my two favourite art supplies ever!!!)

 I also added some washi tape and the stickers.



 

 

  

 

 

I hope you enjoyed this project :)

 

Love,

Fabulous!

Good morning! It's Sandie back again today with a little something I made featuring Ariana, one of the Prima Mixed Media Wood Dolls and the Aquarelle Prima Tag Pad. 

I prepared the tag background by layering on some Prima papers with the edges inked. I took the Prima Checker Stencil and applied Brushed Corduroy distress ink with a sponge dauber and then applied gold embossing paste through the Prima Crackle Stencil. 

I simply coloured up Ariana with copic markers and added some Love Struck silks, from the Goodnight collection, to the shadows of her shirt. I layered on some lace and ribbon before adhering the doll and handbag accessory with 3D foam. 

The FABULOUS sentiment is from Heidi Swapp's Buzz Words Epoxy Stickers. To embellish I used some Prima Flowers, gold pearls and Tim Holtz Filmstrip. 

Thanks again for dropping by and have a great day!!

Sandie
