Pretty Pink Project for Art and Soul

We have a gorgeous feminine Mood Board for February

over at Soul Sisters Facebook site.

There are 3 $50 Vouchers to be won for our

Australian viewers and the chance to be a

Guest Designer for our overseas entries.

I chose to pick a flower from our Mood Photo

and bling up my project.

I started my project by adding Gesso to my base.

Then inking some tissue paper with a script stamp

and scrunching it up as a layer for my flower.

 

Continued on my background with my 

Stamperia stencil with texture paste 

and adding some grunge stamping.

Smooched with Nuvo Shimmer Powder

and Distress Oxide Peacock Feathers.

Added some plasters tape (dry wall)

to help hold my bling in place.

I then went on to make my pink flower with

Tim Holtz Tattered Floral Dies

with  Nuvo Catherine Wheel Shimmer Powder

After gluing several together I added the centre stamens

and lots of gold glitter.

Sponged it with Nuvo Mousse.

Putting that aside I continued with the background.

Here I had  fun adding some inked tulle,

flowers, prills, beads, diamond dust, 

mini art stones inked with Art Alchemy Emerald Green paint, 

pearls and gold thread.

A few close ups - 

Finished with attaching my flower.

I will be back in a few weeks

with another much simpler project

as a Designer for Art and Soul Studio.

Life is a Beach at Art and Soul Studio Challenge

Time for my latest project  as Ambassador for

Art and Soul Studio over at their Blog.

It's a very Tropical Mood Board for December 

as we are in our Summer Season in Oz

 and it depicts just that! 

The heading says it all. 

I started by adding Gesso to my 5"x 7" canvas

then crumpled up tissue paper for texture.

and DecoArt White Crackle Paint,

 adding colour

with Art /Alchemy Emerald Green/Mermaid Sparkle

and Glitter Gold Colour Craft Lustre Powder

Now to add my sea shells

Nice variety to choose from here.

Cut the mesh bag and thought it only right that

I would use a portion to help add more texture

and painted part of it with

Art Alchemy Gold Rush with a baby wipe.

Now to add those sea shells and some Calcined Bauxite

Then some painting,waxing -

pearls, mica flakes, beads and prills.

and a few close ups

finishing with the required sentiment word (Life)

from Inkadankado

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
