Do all things with love by Magali

Today, I am sharing a new layout featuring 7 Dots Studio Papers.
The paper I used as a background is one of my favorite from the Homegrown Collection. And as I love tags from all collections, I used them to create my layout!

I wanted to find a way to create a texture with the Um Wow Studio chipboards, so I painted them all in black (with acrylic paint). I love the fact that they appear as shadows.

 

For this layout I've used the following products:
Homegrown Mash

Iris Flower

Forget Me Not Flower

Poppy Pod Skellie

Summer canvas by Magali

Hi there,

I am really happy to be here for a new term with you and I hope you'll love my next creations.
Today, I want to share a little canvas, it's the first one I show you here.
It's about 6x6 inches and 2 inches thick.

 The quote is from Albert Einstein.

I always liked this quote and a friend of mine recently give me a mug with it... I found it very inspiring. Here is my process...
For the background I used Gelatos from Faber Castell, I love the bright colors they offer. I've drawn some circles creating an ombré effect. Then, I applied water with a brush, to soften the effect.

 I added the lettering with Decoupage glue.

I coloured my bicycle with black ink pad, just pressing the pad on the chipboard. I love the fact that the natural color of the chipboard is still visible. I did the same with the flowers.
 For the last part of the quote, I used a dymo label maker. I also added some stamps on the edges.

 After adding some iRESISTible ink splashes, here is the final result.

 And here are the UWS I used:

Flower Confetti

Basket Bike

 

And other products: DoodleBug letters, Dymo

She Is Genuine

Good morning UmWowStudio fans! It's Amy here today, to share a canvas I made, with all kinds of chipboard "star power."

I started by tearing the edges of the photo (I printed it on copy paper), and adhering it with gel medium, then burnishing with a brayer. This helped the photo become a part of the canvas, then I gessoed and blended from the photo corners out. The fun part was creating and blending the drips of paint, mist, and ink. I plan to do a video tutorial, sharing this technique, so keep an eye out!

I added sprinkles of the star confetti to my cluster of embellishments (including a layered star, stamped with the ever so perfectly fitting star pin stamp from Viva Las VegaStamps!) and a few of the gears from the gear mash .

For a little bit of whimsey, movement and sparkle, I used the circle confetti mask, ink, and some sparkling blue embossing powder. I love how it creates another layer of dimension on the page.

I hope maybe you were inspired today, to get your create on! Grab your UmWowStudio chipboard pieces, masks, and some paint and ink...and get messy. It's the perfect way to ward off the Monday blues.....I promise.

Supplies Used: 
UmWowStudio: Layered Stars, Star Confetti, Gear Mash, Circle Confetti Mask.

Prima Life Journal!

I'm so super thrilled and honored to be a part of one of the Prima Life Journals!

Prima has sent out a few Mixed Media journals to various artists, they've been decorated and are now being passed around among crafters who are each being asked to fill a page!

The journal I have the pleasure of adding a page to originated with Frank Garcia who passed it to Chrissy Colon, who has now given it to me :) 

I finished my page a couple evenings ago and now have it to share with you!

The image of my planner is blurry on purpose, so you can't read my business ;)

The stamp is from Viva Las VegaStamps!.

The punchinella stencil and washi tape are from Gauche Alchemy.
Canvas tape, flowers, vine, butterfly, leaves, paper and bling are all from Prima.

Distress ink in walnut stain and archival ink in black from Ranger.

Glimmer mist from Tattered Angels.

Punch by Marhta Stewart.

Brad by My Mind's Eye.

I chose to my page about list making, because I am FOREVER making lists, crossing things off... adding things I've already done JUST to cross them off :)

Thanks for looking - wait till you see who it's going to next :D
