MoJo is on Vacation

Hi UmWowStudio fans.....
can I just say....I hate it when my creativity
decides to take a hiatus and I have a deadline!!

What do you do??

As for me...I start scanning challenges and mood boards
once again I landed on
Our Mixed Media Moods

so I just began creating.....

with no plan or any true inspiration.

I did like the transparency ideas

so I decided to begin there.

I pulled out a piece of Tissuestock

and a tub of Modeling Paste

and an UmWowStudio Wheelie Mask

Now, where I went from there is quite the journey.

I cut the Tissuestock into a tag,

painted the back with Glimmer Glam,

adhered another piece of Tissuestock ~ French Script,

then a piece of Kraft Cardstock

I colored things using

Distress Oxides

Glimmer Glam to name a few.

I was kinda getting there but still not really happy...

I thought that if maybe I began working on

the UmWowStudio Butterfly chipboard

Now, the one thing I LOVE about

UmWowStudio Chipboard

is it stands up to most anything you do to it

and still looks FABULOUS.

I painted my Butterfly,

added Glitter Glass,

cut the wings apart.

and spritzed the back with water.

You can actually watch the water

soak into the chipboard,

which allowed me to manipulate the chipboard.

Still not happy, I added more paint.

Now, it was beginning to take shape....

I adhered a piece of branch for the body

....and there it was.

I found a quote, stamped it onto a manila tag

and cut it apart.

It all worked....

though not my finest piece it was a great exploration

of various papers and medium

....and I'm HAPPY.

THANK YOU for stopping by.....

it's an Art Journal kind of day

Hi UmWowStudio Fans....

THANK YOU for stoppin' by the blog today!

I decided to pull out my Art Journal
and have some FUN!

In my UmWowStudio stash I have a bag

of pieces parts from various chippies

PUZZLE MASH

STAR CONFETTI

GEARS MASH

I applied the pieces parts to my journal page.

When dry, I applied a layer of medium through

Wonky Circle Stencil

When dry I covered the whole page with

clear gesso.

Then, I let the coloring begin.

I spritzed the entire page with mist.

Then, I used a pipette to drop

color onto the page.

Next, I mixed Prills with

a bit of medium and applied randomly

to the page.

Lastly, I splattered on a bit of white gesso.

I pulled out UmWowStudio

LARGE IVY

 and SMALL IVY

and painted on a bit of gesso.

When dry, I colored the Ivy.

I put it all together to finish my page.

Once again....THANK YOU for stopping by!

A little note book.

Hello everyone,

and welcome to my blogpost where I am sharing a little book with you. I have recently rediscovered my love of making little books and I couldn't resist to make one for today's post.

This little book was made out of 1 sheet of 12' x 12' paper and I glued some fabric on the outside to give it even more interest and also keep it together. 

Here's what I did to the chipboard:

I started with 2 layers of gesso. 

Next I heat embossed the pod-bit of the chipboard. 

Next I am used a Pitt Big Brush Marker by Faber Castell to colour the top and the stem. 

I added some white details too. 

And here is the finished booklet:

I used an Um Wow Studio stencil and some modelling paste for the front of the book. When the paste was still wet I added som embossing powder and then heated it... 

I have used this Chipboard:

It is called Poppy Pod Skellie and you will find it HERE. 

I also used this stencil :

This is called Wheat Stencil and you will find it HERE. 

Thank you for stopping by today !
