2 lovely wedding cards

Hello my dear friends!!!
Elena hire with you.
The communions have almost finished and it is coming the season of weddings. For this occasion I have created these 2 cards of lilac tones. The backgroung is made from white watercolor paper as a base. To create the texture I used White Gesso, and Finnabair Art Basics: Light Paste with Stencils. For the color, I have used some of  Dylusions Ink Sprays and for more contrast, I put some freehand  Darkroom Door Background Stamps. A bouquet of flowers and the text ended the composition. So we have a fresh result with a romantic air.


Here you have more photos with some details.




I hope it has inspired you to create your projects! :)))
Thank you very much and see you later!

Much kisses. xxx

Collage "Hi there!"

Hello my friends!
This week I have prepared a mixed media collage.


I used as the base an old paper craft that was a folder before.
I began to apply different templates using Prima Color Bloom Sprays with White Gesso. I caught a herbarium and I glued it with Finnabair Art Basics: 3D Gloss gel. To create more contrast I put some freehand Background stamps and added a few drops of color.


I also cut a cardboard frame and covered it with Finnabair Art Extravagance: Gold CrackleTexture Paste. To fasten it, I turned to the stapler instead of glue. I love the effect of an old framework, with the already worn paint.


To decorate, I took a bit of lace, newspaper, raffia, flowers Prima Marketing among other things. For title I chose letters of different sizes to provide visual interest. To give an uniform finish and integrate all the elements, I went over with white gesso brush and Finnabair Art Ingredients Glass Glitter - Gold Rush.
It is an easy work, so I hope it has inspired you to create your own fantastics projects! :)))
Thank you very much and see you soon!
Much kisses. xxx

Unusual page, recycled material.

Hello, my dear friends!

My DT project this week is a very unusual, round layout!
How I like to experience, renew and recycle things! :)) Yes!!! and do you know what I have used as a base for this page?
Sooner or later every thing reach the end of it useful life. I'm not Frankenstein (the opposite, pretty and nice lol), but the other day I did revive a "dead" and forgotten object that had pulled in a drawer in the kitchen. It was a mold to make cakes, old and almost rusty because it has not used for a long time. So, instead of throwing it in the trash (which would make any other woman seeing a white elephant in the kitchen lol), I rescued it and transformed it completely.







The first thing I did, was cover the surface with Black Gesso.


Then I used some Stencils with Finnabair Art Basics: Modeling Paste. When it comes to the colour, I resorted to sprays of Prima Color Bloom Sprays.

The next step was to add a few strips of different fabrics and laces, to achieve more texture and enrich the background.
I created a composition by mounting a few layers of paper, flowers, different embellishments, Finnabair Vintage Mechanicals: 961121 Plate & Label, dies cut and tags. To give a few finishing touches, I added Finnabair Art Ingredients Glass Glitter - Gold Rush


And the result is a different and very special layout :))  You can find all the materials in the store  A Sprinkle Of Imagination.
I hope you liked the idea and it has inspired you to try to do something different:))
 See you soon! Much kisses!

lawn fawn..

hello, 

Its been a long time since I have done anything creative... don't get too excited just yet though.   Its rare I get chance, but last week we had part two of our Lawn Fawn delivery...and yes.... I pinched stuff. 

As I don't often get time, or the inclination to scrapbook on a 12x12 scale, I prefer to use pocket scrapbooking and have found since doing that I stamp more.  Good for the stamp mountain I own...  

One of the product I have so far liberated from the Lawn Fawn delivery is these round grip acrylic blocks.  They do have a grid, and that is what I love about my Tim Holtz set of acrylic blocks, but these are so much easier to grip making they way more comfortable.   I will still use my tim blocks for larger stamps, but the Lawn Fawn ones are now on my scrapbook trolly!

(the stamp is by Ali Edwards, not available to retailers)


Other products that, I personally have been lusting after, but not yet liberated from the store, are Lawn Cuts. Lawn Fawns dies...  we have the stitched stackables in store and some new scripty dies!




I so wanna go and play!
