Bee Bag with Jen Matott

Hey crafty friends!  I want to share a fun altered project with you!  I got this cute canvas bag for another project and knew I wanted to use lots of color and hexagons on it!   I love the possibilities of a blank canvas.

 I used UmWowStudio Hexagon Mask sideways to create areas of color using Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos® Colors Brights set.  I also outlines some of them with a Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft PITT® Artist Pen in Black.

 I used Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Texture Luxe™ in Gold to add texture and metallic shine to some UmWowStudio Hexagon Confetti Chipboard.  This stuff is shiny and so pretty on the chip!

Now the pièce de résistance for the bag is the stitched "bee".  I know the stencil is not a bee but I wanted to create one looking like a bee.  So, I traced some of the stencil with pen and left a few details of to create a more bee-like shape. 

A backstitch was used in yellow gold thread. I love how it looks on this bag! 

I hope you enjoyed my project using UmWowStudio chip and stencils!

tag tutorial by Tusia Lech

Hello bloggers :)

Today I would like to show you two tags and a little tutorial, how I created them.

I used 2 tags, I have created once using Gelli Plate and gorgeous UmWowStudio stencils - Checker Board mask and Cicada mask. 

If you would like to watch the process, here is the video - please watch the very first minute of it:

I altered chipboard pieces (Leaf Stems and Wild Lilies) using some media.

At first I applied white gesso.

Then I applied Finnabair Soft Gloss Gel using palette knife and....

...and sprinkled Finnabair yellow glitter.

When everything dried, I sprayed chipboard with Chalk Glimmer Mist.

I distressed the edges of the tags using distress ink and started to put all elements together.

Here is the final effect and some close-ups:

Hello fellow scrappers :)

Today I would like to show you art-journal pages, which I have created in my friend's journal. I take part in two robin-round journal swaps and I have to say, that I love the idea lying behind it. As you can see, I have used lots of media :) I will try to tell you more about all supplies, when I will talk about each photo.

Below you can see gorgeous chipboard feather from UmWowStudio. I coloured it using green Glimmer mist and draw lines using black pen (and if I would tell you everything about this feather, there are also Caran D'Ache crayons).

On both sides of art-journal you can see cicada, which was created using Cicada Mask and brown Glimmer Mist.

Below you can see Cicada and background created using Crystal Mortar Paste, Izinks, Caran D'Ache crayons and white Pitt Artist Pen.

I have added some sewing and stamping with 7 Dots Studio stamps (Illumination collection).

And below you can see misting through a stencil - Circle Confetti.

I hope you liked it :)

Have a great day!

The Journey Is The Destination {Layout by Amy}

Our post today comes from the uber talented brand new creative team member.. AMY LASSITER!!!

Amy Says: For my first project as an UmWowStudio design team member, I had such an amazing time creating with the Cicada Mask, and some beautiful chipboard. I loved how versatile it was, and how the wings were so delicate. After creating the mixed media background, and layering up my papers, I enjoyed choosing the Floral flourish, Cicada Bug, and Chevron confetti chipboard pieces.

The gorgeous flowers from the Dream a little dream Flair, added a touch of delicate femininity, that works so well with the photo of my sweet 11 year old daughter.

I'm so stoked to have Amy on the UWS Creative Team --- the team is so super versatile and all uber talented, she fits in perfectly! This project is stunning and I seriously cannot get enough of it. I've spent what feels like hours ogling all the details.
