Hello everyone!

I love playing with my mixed media and creating something fun.  This time I thought why not make a bookmark to place in my art journal!  I used the butterfly wings and damask stencil to create this bookmark!

Be gentle with yourself

Hello everyone,

It is time for another post from me today ! I really enjoy doing these projects as they are so different from anything else I do. Today I did a little tiny canvas. It is only about 3" x 3" or 10 cm x 10 cm. And here it is :

And here's how I made it:

I decided to heat emboss my flourish with copper embossing powder. I did change my mind in the end and heat embossed over the top with gold powder. 

I embossed it about three times, so the layer of embossing on the flourish was really thick. I reheated it to make it soft again and then dropped some micro beads in the wet/soft embossing. 

This is how it looks after I dropped the microbeads in. Cool huh ? I also added some gold paint here and there later but didn't take pictures. You can see the effect in the finished canvas. 

For the canvas I applied crackle paste and coloured it with light yellow and burnt umber paints.. using some glazing fluid so it stayed wet longer and I could wipe most of it off again..

This is the result of both paints. I then added some stamping. You can see it in the end photos. 

All stamps I used are by VivaLasVegaStamps! 

Here are a few close ups of the flourish..

Apart from the canvas and the flourish, I used an original old photo which I found in an antique market. I am always on the lookout for stuff like this. I also used some music paper and some lace. The frame is from a cheap set of resin frames from the Dollar store which I painted and then used the same gold embossing powder over the top. 

I used this chipboard today :

From the set Flourishes Two. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today ! 

Tis the Season.....to make BagTags!

Hi UmWowStudio Fans....

Wanted to share with you my "BagTags"

that I created for "the girls" Christmas presents.

I chose to go with a less than traditional "christmas" look

and went with 7 Dots Studio ~ Homegrown

I chose the following papers......

Homegrown

Snicker

Attic

Once the papers were cut into tags,

I used UmWowStudio's Stencils

Handwriting

and Wheelie Mask

and applied various texture mediums.

The two constants on my tags are....

UmWowStudio Layered Chevrons

I covered the chosen Chevron with

Vintage Photo Distress Ink

and applied

Stampendous ~ Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel

what a STUNNING look!

And diecut Ivy Leaves

cut from CCB ~ Handmade Paper Ivory

colored with Glimmer Glam and Glimmer Mist.

I JUST LOVE how the "Bag Tags" came out....

I hope you have enjoyed my creative journey

as much as I will giving these BEAUTIFUL gifts!!
