Mixed Media Layout "Faire un voyage"

Hi, it's me again!

Today I want to share this layout with you

I had I lot of fun creating it. It was like a flight of imagination.
I really wanted to spread these blue, turquoise and a bit of grey colors from my picture to the layout.

This picture was taken in Deauville (Basse-Normandie, France). It was an exiting trip around Calvados region!


And now some close-ups:

As there are a lot of doors and windows - I think this layout perfectly matches the December "Doors and Windows" challenge of  Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo

Holiday Card "Winter Night"

Hello!

Let me show you my latest card. And, of course, it's a Christmas one!

For my background I did water-coloring by myself. The title was heat embossed with white powder. And then a Snow stencil with some modeling paste gave a great dimension to the card. 

I did fussy cutting of two houses and the tree (that I previously stamped on heavy paper) and gave them some dimension with foam pads. And for more winter feeling I glued some artificial snow on the roofs of my houses.

I must admit - I really missing snow and cold in winter! Here in Paris temperature doesn't fall down much and snow it's a luxury (it melts and doesn't stay on the ground).

Have a great day!

Mixed Media Layout "Perfect"

Let me present you my new layout.

This is my sunny little girl :) I took this picture about a half year ago. Since then I have always been wanted to scrap it. But this photo required a special background. I think I succeeded to create an appropriate atmosphere...

At first I want to show you the texture:

Mixed-Media layout "Sweetheart"

Hello!

I want to share my new mixed-media layout.

This page was inspired by the color challenge of Words&Paintery, who celebrates it's first anniversary. Congrats ladies!!!!

For this layout I decided to scrap a photo of one of my lovely daughters. She loves crafting as much as I do and always excited about everything I create. She is my muse!


Here is some close-ups:

Mixed-Media Canvas "FALL"

Hello!
I hope you had a great week-end.

I've made something new.
This canvas was interesting to create.

For background I used old book pages which were glued with Mod Podge and then gessoed. After that I took a Dots stencil and transparent 3D Matte Gel to create some texture on my canvas. To add a color I sprayed Smooch Spritz and Lindy's paints. The first one is very shimmery, that's gave a really great effect on the canvas.

The trunk and every single branch of the tree were carefully sculpted by hands and then colored. Leaves were punched from different papers. A swing I made from a tiny peace of chipboard and burlap thread. And for more dimension I mounted a swing on the foam pads.

With this canvas I want to enter into the next challenges:

- 13arts with it's beautiful moodboard full of warm autumn colors:

"LOVE" canvas

Hi there!!!

I have a canvas to share today!

I began this project by first cutting light chipboard into pieces. Then glued them overlapping with gel medium.
To receive such grey shadow for my background I mixed black and white gesso.
Then added die-cuts, flowers and leaves, buttons and chipboards. Covered them all with the same mixture of gesso. Some of embellishments I painted in gold and for others just gave a touch of gold using gold paint and gold paste.

With this canvas I would like to enter into the challenge Bumaga-Maraka the moodboard of which is so rich and inspiring for me :)

Thanks for stepping by.
Hugs, Anna

Mixed-Media Jumbo Tag

Hello there!

To alter the tag was a challenge for me. Don't know why but it's not my format. Not yet...

I cut the tag from heavy chipboard and covered its both sides with brown acrylic paints.
The background texture was created using some tissue paper (previously stamped) with Mod Podge. 
Then I used Lindy's sprays to give a vintage look to the tag. I did some wall fragments using a brick stencil and modeling paste, and colored it in brown with my brush. 


Remember the old french book I wrote about earlier? So for this project I used some pages again! I just teared some stripes and distressed them. Also I colored a white cotton fabric with black tea - it gave the perfect vintage color. I used flowers (Prima's and homemade), chipboards, burlap thread, buttons, metals and wooden embellishments.

Hope you like it like I do :)
