The Day has come to Show You...

Today is the day I get to post my very first project 

as an Ambassador for the

Art and Soul Studio

Here is our Mood Board for November

As soon as I saw this I wanted to do something with

the image of that LONG RED HAIR!

When I walked into the Studio I went looking

for a suitable stamp and found this

and so my journey into Mixed Media really begins.

I heat embossed my image in black

and smooching the background with 

Tim's Festive Berries Distress Ink mixed with 

Forever Red Perfect Pearls to add shimmer.

next came

a bit more colour before cutting with a

Postage Stamp Die.

Now on to the background using

Black Textured Card Stock.

Next step to add a bit of dimension with

Dina Wakley Tornado Stencil using

white texture paste.

and lots more colours with Mica Flakes

Finnabair Glass Beads and Fantasy Snow

with melted red gelatos painted with

Metallic Gold Rush Paint.

Then die cut flourishes in gold and black

and my flowers inked with

Metallic Paint in Red Wine and Rusty Red

 scored to add shape.

Added some yellow glitter to the centre

and a few gold material flowers to the back.

You can see a tiny bit of the original colour

peeking out from the centre of the flower.

I needed to take the stark white away from the

stamped image so inked all around with

a shimmery black wax.

Thought the cut out sentiments were perfect

for this amazing image.

Did you notice I even found an earring

to add from my stash?

Just a few more finishing touches with sequins

then attaching to a corrugated cardboard back

and punched holes to add my gold coil ready for hanging.

Here are a few of the products purchased from the

 Art and Soul Studio - It's Craft Heaven

especially when you get to visit and browse

(takes quite a while)

and relax with scrumptious home made yummies

and an amazing cuppa.

If you aren't lucky enough to visit

you can browse online and purchase.
