June's Our Mixed Media Moods Challenge

Hi UmWowStudio Fans.....

Spring has popped....
the birds are singing 

and I am in the full throws of preparing the decorations

for my daughters upcoming wedding. 

Due to all the hubbub.....

I have been very lacking in inspiration of late

so I decided to pop over
to our fearless leader challenge....
Our Mixed Media Moods

everything about this mood board made my heart sing.

SOOOO.....I went to my box of UmWowStudio goodies
and decided to challenge myself to create with the
pieces parts that were floating around in the bottom of my box.

I then covered a piece of artboard
with vintage dictionary paper.

When dry, I spritzed it with water and tore off the

loose edges.

I then arranged the leftover chippies on my artboard.

I randomly applied Modeling Paste to the artboard

and used it as an adhesive to hold the chippies in place.

When dry, I applied a layer of Clear Gesso.

I didn't like the look of the semi painted chippies
so I created a slurry of Modeling Paste and water
and painted the chipboard.

When dry I applied another layer of Clear Gesso
to help facilitate the movement of color and water.

Now came the colors. I chose Desert Sun Glimmer Glaze
because I knew when it was dry it would be permanent.

Once dry, I spritzed the canvas with Sapphire Glimmer Mist.

Then, I used a baby wipe to take off some of the Sapphire
to expose more of the yellow.

I painted on a bit more Desert Sun then ran 

my Vintage Photo ink pad over top of the canvas. 

This made my heart sing....again!

I pulled out my package of
UmWowStudio ~ Home Grown Mash

and painted my chosen leaves green.

Here is my finished project.....

Thank you SOOO MUCH for stoppin' by the blog today.

I hoped you enjoyed my creative process....
POP over to Our Mixed Media Moods and play along!!

A creative Bunny Trail by LynneF

Hi UmWowStudio Fans.....

I LOVE creative bunny trails.

You know...

when you have a creation in mind

and you get to a certain point and you say....

WHAT IF....

and head in a totally different direction!!?!?

I did JUST THAT with this project.....

.....it all began with me pulling out my box of
UmWowStudio chippies!!

There were a bunch of odds and ends that had escaped
from their packaging, in the bottom of my box,
so, I pulled out a black cardboard box from my stash...

and adhered the pieces parts to the lid with

Multi Medium ~ Matte.

Let's see.....I used.....
Puzzle Mash
Star Confetti
Gear Mash
Sketchy Hearts Mash
Floral Collection
pieces from Grid Border
Home Grown Mash
(I think that covers them all!!)

....this is where the WHAT IF moment happened.

I thought....what if I used my newly adorned lid as a stamp??

So.....I pulled out some paint, a brayer and a piece of cardstock

and let the stamping begin!!

.....and then the bunny trail ensued!

I spritzed a bit of Glimmer Mist

lathered on some gesso, spritzed more Glimmer Mist

and added a bit more paint....

Then I thought.....what a GREAT card

the "new paper" would make!!!

So, I went back to my UmWowStudio box

and pulled out my Wonky Circle Stencil

and applied some Polishing Plaster through it!

When my card was dry....I spritzed it with

MORE Glimmer Mist and

smeared on Aged Copper paint with a palette knife.

When it was dry, I traced around a few of

the Wonky Circles.

Then, with a paint brush, I applied a bit

of Multi Medium ~ Matte

and added a few Micro Beads.

Here is my finished card.....

To finish off my card, I painted

the "verbage" Heart from the

Fortune Teller Mash

and a Heart from

Layered Hearts.

Now, BACK to the original project....

(sorry.....I neglected to take photos of this process!)

I lathered on a layer of White Crackle Paint...

when dry I spritzed the lid with

various Glimmer Mists

until I achieved my desired look.

I used the remaining "new paper" to cover my lid and box.

And finished it off with a Garden Rosette, colored to match,

along with a leaf from the

Home Grown Mash collection

and a bit of vintage lace.

PHEW.....what a GREAT Bunny Trail that was!!!

Hope you enjoyed it at much as I did and

that you end up on a creative Bunny Tail too!!
