Winter Flower Canvas

Good Morning!

Georgie here today and I'm sharing with you a mini canvas I have made made using loads of Prima goodies!

I had one last Prima Resin Flower (Patty) left, I love these by the way, and can't wait to get more! I sprayed her with Prima Color Blooms in Summer Sky, Iris and Pearl White. The petals absorb the paints perfectly. The base was super easy to do, I ripped some papers from 7 Dots Studio Messy Head 6x6 Paper Collection, using Art Basics Soft Matte Gel to lay it down with and then cover a layer of it over the top.

Then I did a very light coat of Art Basics White Gesso, and stencilled over with Art Basics Modelling Paste using the a Finnabar's Stencil.

I included two pictures here of this little lovely flower, to try and show you the gorgeous shimmer and sparkle. Of course, the opportunity to use some Finnabair Glitter Glass always makes me happy and as I was going with wintery theme colours I chose 'Midnight', and topped it off with Finnabair's Sugar Glitter in White

I love the Micro Beads by Finnabar, for this canvas I used 'Splash'. Once dried, I went back over with the bloom sprays. The leaves are from Prima's Wood Icons in a Box and painted with Art Basics Gesso.

I added some torn strips to the sides with some modelling paste and paint drips to continue the theme.

Finished up with ink distressing the edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

So that's me for today, I will be back soon with another project. Hope you all have a fan-tab-u-lous weekend!

What a Story - Layout

Hi my lovelies,

Georgie here today and sharing my latest layout - What a Story.

I'm going to list all products used at the end of this page  :)

Lots of different elements used to build up this composition. I played a little with different colours to build a grunge look to contrast the soft photo.

Started with some stencilling mixing paste with Mica Powder, then added some stamping. Also with the stamping I went around the outside to keep the eye focussing inward.

Lots of gorgeous elements to help build layers, and splatters of white gesso to tie everything in.

Adored playing with Mica Powders, some of them the new release from Finnabair. 

Here is the list of items used:

7 Dots Studio:

12 x 12 Cold Country, As It Was Before

A Piece of the Puzzle

Hiya

Georgie here today, and I have been playing with the very fun, Dina Wakley paints... again! Boy, I am venturing more and more over to the bright side. I love how the colours on their own just lift your mood! Forget chocolate, these paints are the way to go!

Anyway.... :) back to the card. How many of you chuck away puzzles, with missing / dog-eared / eaten pieces? I have about three of my son's chunky puzzles which were about to find themselves in the bin, but the crafty brain got thinking, and voila:

Tried out some shadowing techniques with a stencil for the background. Laid down white paint first and then went over with purple, over a pink and blue mix base of colour.

Gorgeous Lawn Fawn die, had my eye on this for ages. This is just plain black card stock with UTEE over the top to give it that glossy domed look.

Finnabair stamps, those elegant butterflies and quirky text bubbles, stamped with Archival Inks. I coloured the butterflies with Picket Fence Distress Paint and edge with Intense pencils.

Bling bling!! Of course and little sparkle. Stunning faceted gems by Prima.

Mini Christmas Cards

Hiya... Georgie here!! :)

When I saw these super cute Hero Arts Scandinavian Holiday stamps, I knew I had to have them in my life!! I just adore this style!!!!

Now usually I'm a background stamper, love getting messy and not having to worry about perfection. I have created a set of mini notelets, which can be used as Christmas cards, or thank yous for after.

I wanted to do so much more with these and ventured into a watercolour background, but the images just didn't pop like I wanted them to. So after some playing around I went CAS, which for me is a real achievement!

Archival Ink in Jet Black, created the contrast I wanted for these. 

I can't help but think of 'Frozen' when I see these images :)

Soooo in love with this little Christmas Tree!

Clean, simple and sweet! If you need some cards made up in a hurry for Christmas, I completely recommend these, they are just such a joy to work with :) 

Hugs

Georgie
