Chevron Canvas by Jen

Hello everyone!! I have a little canvas project to share today.  I created this with a burlap covered canvas.

 I added lots of fun UmWowStudio chip and miscellaneous pieces from my stash.   I wanted a gorgeous art decor with lots of circles and arrows.

 First I glued down some of the items using a liquid permenant adhesive. I used an UmWowStudio Doilies, Gear MASH, Chevron Confetti and Button MASH for this project.

I covered it with a layer of Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gesso.  Once dry, I added some Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Whipped Spackle through an UmWowStudio Circle Confetti Stencil.

 When dry, I went to town with some Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos® Colors in Metallic. 

 Finally, I embellished with some glass beads mixed with gel medium and some bling and From The Heart flair!

And finally, an inspirational quote:  To the artist, EVERYTHING is possible!

Hello everyone,

It's my turn again - Geraldine' and I'm back with an Earthy~ Nature tone layout of my daughter Mackenna and featuring some gorgeous Umwowstudio chipboard. The photo is a few years old but one of my many favourites.

Steampunk Necklace with Jen

I've got another wearable art project for you!  I had so much fun creating the Hexagon Necklace from last month, that I made another using an UmWowStudio Doily!

 I loved the natural color of the chipboard doily so I left it alone! I added lots of fun embellishments and an artsy center.

I took the Cold Porcelain clay from the Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Mixed Media with Gelatos kit and mixed some with the Gold Champagne Gelato® and pressed it into a mold for the wings.

 I used other products from the kit to create the center art.  I wanted texture and drama for the necklace.  I have more information about the process on this project on my blog.

I love to use UmWowStudio's chipboard pieces for all kinds of art but this one is perfect for a dramatic wearable art piece!   I hope I inspired you to create different types of art with these amazing embellishments!

June Sketch Inspiration by Amy

Hello UmWowStudio fans!! It's Amy here today, to share a layout I created using this month's inspiring sketch!
I am completely in love with the gorgeous doilies, and using them was a no brainer paired with the sketch. For the background, I used a vintage plastic doily that had belonged to my grandma, and the circle confetti mask, layering with paint and ink. Since I had blended the photo into the background, I did the same with the doily, painting and inking the background on a gradient.

Finally,  I added my embellishments, like the gorgeous butterfly kisses flair.

I hope you were inspired to try this month's awesome sketch, there's always awesomeness offered for the winner of the month! I send you love and creative vibes! ~Loves, Amy
