PICTURE PERFECT Layout
(Daily ART Last DT Reveal
+ Scrap The Girls & Stick It Down Challenges)

Today is my 2nd feature April feature on the Daily ART blog and it's a very bittersweet post as it is my last one as a Daily ART designer. As they say, all good things must end, and this journey, however wonderful and inspiring it has been, must come to an end. I now want to give my spot on this fabulous team to another lucky artist. I wish to thank Daily ART for the opportunity and the chance to create with such a vast array of products and hopefully inspire you all to do the same.

And now, with no further ado, here is my last Daily ART DT project.

For my last project, I decided to go back to basics and create a layout about... myself.

I was inspired by the April 'Who Are You?' challenge at Scrap The Girls:

Like many people, I am very critical of myself and do not really like getting my picture taken. I find fault in almost every photo and wish that I was good at Photoshop. haha But something that being a scrapbooker has taught me is that photos are important in keeping a special moment or a special person 'alive', and however fussy I can be about myself, I deserve a little keepsaking too!

I may not be perfect, but I am one of a kind and I can choose to be 'picture perfect'!

I am also playing along with the Stick It Down April Challenge with this beautiful sketch:

Let's take a closer look at my page:

On the background, I used the Fine Texture Paste with a stencil to create some textured design. I then added a bit of colour with a bit of Lemon Yellow and Peach Vintage Ink Sprays as well as Bronze Glimmer Ink Spray.

I used several products on my chipboard. The title was treated with a coat of Terracotta Vintage Paint and I added Deep Red Vintage Ink Spray and dabbed Apricot Acrylic Paint to create a marble effect.

The gorgeous Feather chipboards I used are from Dusty Attic. I started off by dabbing them with Terracotta Vintage Paint, then sprayed it with a combination of Bottle Green and Eucalyptus Vintage Ink Spray and Emerald and Pine Green Glossy Ink Spray. I added a bit of Peach Vintage Ink Spray and dabbed on some Emerald Patina.

After I had all my embellishments stuck on the page, I decided to create a white wash effect by misting it with White Vintage Ink Spray, on the paper background, the chipboard, the flowers, everywhere. And there I am, in all my 44 years of glory!

LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST Woodboard Canvas
(Daily ART DT + Words & Paintery March Challenge)

Today, I have another mixed media project to share with you

using the fabulous products at Daily ART.

I created this woodboard wall hanging canvas. I was so excited when I found

this cool woodboard at my local dollar store and thought that it would

be the perfect base for playing with my Daily ART stash!

This project was inspired by this wonderful colour challenge from Words & Paintery.

Let's take a closer look at the details:

I started off with covering the entire board with a coat of White Gesso,

and then I added some stenciling using Aquamarine Velvet Paste.

I sprayed some Lemon Yellow and Canaree Vintage Ink Spray

and blended it all in with some Snow White Glossy Ink Spray.

Most of the chipboard (except for the title) is from Dusty Attic. I absolutely love the Paisley #3 piece which, along with the feathers and fantasy flowers, I thought would be perfect for the whole bohemian theme on the Daily ART blog this month.

I used a combination of Aquamarine Velvet Paste and Calypso Blue and Mint Acrylic Paste on these pieces.

The feathers were treated with White and Apricot Acrylic Paints and a touch of Peach Vintage Ink Spray. I added a little shine to them using the Silver 3-D Glitter Pen.

I used Gel Medium Matte to stick all the chipboard and embellishments to the base.

It turned out to be a very soft and lovely piece. What do you think?

LIVE LAUGH LOVE Mixed Media Shadow Box
(Daily ART DT + Mixed Media Warriors #26)

This is my 2nd DT reveal this month for Daily ART

and this time around I created a mixed media project all inspired by Spring.

I am SO thankful that Spring is almost here (well actually it is supposed to be already), although we have so much snow left here in Eastern Canada (and expecting more) that it might not literally be felt here until July. :-/

I was also inspired by Challenge #26 at Mixed Media Warriors.

I followed the colour palette and incorporated lots of flowers as in the images

and of course was inspired by the 'hello Spring' sentiment.

I started with a wooden shadow box as my base which I primed with a thin coat of White Gesso. I then added a flower design on the inside using a stencil and a mixture of Aquamarine Velvet Paste and Sky Blue Glitter Paste. On the frame, I used a tiny dot stencil with Fine Texture Paste.

I then used Glossy Ink Spray in Rich Blue and Snow White as well as Vintage Ink Spray in Medium Blue and Baby Blue to create a marbled blue background. On the title I created an ombre effect using the Harmony Pink Vintage Paint and Carmine Acrylic Paint.

I painted the chipboard bird house and fence, both from Dusty Attic, in Chocolate Acrylic and Sepia Vintage followed by a bit of Crackle Paint. I made the grass with cheesecloth that I sprayed with Pale Green Vintage Ink Spray and Olive Glossy Ink Spray.

The Hardboard Small Shapes Flowers are so very pretty. I used a combination of Yellow/Beige, Carmine/Ruby (Patina) and Carmine/Harmony Pink on each color set.

And of course, no mixed media project would be complete without lots of beads and art stones.

I wanted my shadow box to be fun and bright and reminiscent of Spring, a season that makes me want to 'live, laugh, love', and I am very happy with how it turned out. I hope you like it too!

LIFE IS AN ADVENTURE Layout
(Daily ART DT
+ Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #46)

Hello! It's my turn today to share a project on the Daily ART blog

and I have created this mixed media layout using several mediums from

the long range of products available from Daily ART.

I am playing along with the March Mixed Media Monthly Challenge #46

which is to use at least one stencil and 3 different mediums.

I started off on a Blue Fern Studios background paper to create

this grungy earth-toned page mixed with a little steampunk.

I added some stenciled dots pattern to the base with Beryl Velvet Paste.

I also sprayed some Vintage Ink Spray in Sepia. The intricate leaf chippies

were painted with Beryl Velvet Paste as well.

I then spread some Sand Texture Paste in which I worked a bit of Bitumen which is a water-based medium used to create an aged look. By mixing it up with the paste, I wanted to create the illusion of black mossy dirt to go with the natural theme of my layout.

On the large white chipboard word, I dabbed a combination of Beryl Velvet Paste,

Sand Vintage Paint and Bronze Glimmer Ink Spray, dabbing the excess off to keep it light

and visible against the dark brown and kraft backdrop.

I added the finishing touches to my layout by misting some Snow White Glossy Ink Spray

and dabbing white paint on all my embellishments.

I am thrilled by how this layout turned out, and I hope that you like it!

Here are the Daily ART products used:

Bitumen - DA14104000

Glossy Ink Spray - Bronze - DA15111620

Vintage Ink Spray - Sepia - DA15110195

Glossy Ink Spray - Snow White - DA17101101

TIME IS A GREAT STORYTELLER Mixed Media Canvas
(Daily ART DT & Mixed Media & Art February Challenge)

Today I have a mixed media project to share with you that

I created as part of my Daily ART DT requirements.

I was inspired by the Time mood board and sketch by Mixed Media & Art.

I love the antique feel of these images...

My main inspiration were feathers and the old book pages,

reminding me of this beautiful quill pen I've had since 1996 as a souvenir

of a once in a lifetime trip to the UK. I bought it at Shakespeare's birthplace.

I thought it would be awesome to incorporate it some mixed media art.

Let's take a closer look on how I created this canvas.

I started off with a Hardboard Plaque #10 and created some layering by adding a few Small Shape Frames, some flowers and a Plaque #4. I stuck the quill pen on the hardboard using 3D foam squares. I then added several metal and paper flowers as well as metal and chipboard cogs and gears.

My next step was to cover everything with some White Gesso.

I love teal and aquamarine greens so I started off with the Pine Green and Emerald Glossy Ink Sprays to create this palette, then adding a little Aubergine. Then, I used the Copper and Bronze Glimmer Ink Sprays on the outer edge of my canvas. Wanting to add even more shimmer, I dabbed some Dark Gold Metallic paint over all the elements.

And because one cannot ever get enough sparkle, next came the Gold Glitter Paste!

I added my title painted in Dark Gold Metallic Paint and a small clockface trinket.

To add more mixed media texture, I sprinkled some Glass Beads and then dabbed some more of my favorite colours, this time opting for the Mint Acrylic Paint and Aquamarine Velvet Paste.
