Spray inks- Tando

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new art piece made for Tando Creative with mists or in their other name Spray inks.
As you can see this art page was made using coloring book page (new DCVW one) , but I didn't color it with markers or pencils, but just misted around with a mix of Tattered Angels  mists.
Tando frame was  painted and them misted over with copper mist and  Tando butterflies were also misted and then I added some more similar color with markers.

Live, Love , Enjoy - ARTplorations tutorial

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Mixed Media tutorial made for ARTplorations company.

Actually this is my last tutorial post for them as after a full year  with this great stencil/stamp company it's a time to move to another possible adventures . But as you know when I love products I use them. So most possible that you will see a lot of new projects made with this company's delicious products.

And now for my tutorial:

1.Use DecoArt Modeling paste over a chipboard door hanger (was covered with white gesso before this step). Use Merry go round  ARTploration's stencil and let it dry..

2. Paint the dry piece with two DecoArt Fluid acrylics' paints as shown.

3. Add orange paint over the yellow/bit of blue paint layer and mist with a bit of water for a nice effect.

4. Stamp a few  butterflies from STAMPlorations'Trendy Butterflies stamp set,  using clear embossing ink and heat emboss with black embossing powder. Then hand cut the stamped butterflies and mist them with yellow mist. 

5. Add white faux stitching with Uniball pen and adhere the stamped and hand cut butterflies as shown. Outline the edges  of the hanger with black permanent ink.

6. Stamp a couple more of black butterflies with the same technique.

Stamp the sentiment words with Trendy Butterflies stamp set over white cardstock with black heat embossing and mist with the same yellow mist. Glue the sentiment words and outline them with black pen.

Your bright door hanger is done!

ARTploration's inspiration

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my June Mixed Media inspiration made for ARTplorations blog.

 This is a link to our Mixed Media monthly challenge.

This time it's a  double Mixed Media tag I made with Gelli print,  stamping, acrylic paints and ARTploration's stencil. The interesting thing are my embellishments that were deeply in my  " junk things" box and were just perfect for this tag's colors- the transparency and the chipboard flower.

ARTplorations stencils used:
Bloom Silhouettes,Weathered Wood
STAMPlorations stamps used:
Trendy Butterflies

You are invited to our Mixed Media challenge: non card anything goes Mixed Media and use a stencil.

The theme is always anything mixed media goes except a card and they must use at least one stencil (any brand) in their project. Linky closes at the end of the month.

Prizes: $15 gift certificate OR choice of any 2 ARTplorations stencils to the winner

choice of 1 ARTplorations stencil to the top picks

Rubber Dance recycled tags

Hello my dear crafty friends! This is Irit from Rubber Dance International team here today and I made a very small tutorial that is all about recycling.

Most of us buy outfits. Outfits come with tags. Some of those tags are lovely and some are just tags with price and everything. So what  about to make your own art tag from those useless ugly things? Here is my way to make this kind of art.

1. Use stencil and inks to add some color to the old book page.

2. Take two tags with good shape and cover them both with this stencilled paper using gel medium.

Trim the edges and ink them around.

3.Grab some stamps from Rubber Dance that you love and stamp over tissue paper with black permanent ink. I used the following stamps from Rubber Dance:

ROUND IN CIRCLES , word Together from Nostalgic Couples and a post stamp from Collage mix

4. Stamp the word TOGETHER over the book page on the smaller tag. This  time make direct stamping and not the tissue one.

5. Glue tissue stamped images over the larger  circle tag  as shown.

6.Connect both tags with the add- on of one wooden tag with the word " Happy" with tulle on the top. Add some color with a few rhinestones.

 Your recycled beauty is done and can be added to any gift bag.

Queen never gives up: art page

This month of June the Mixed Media Mojo theme is Queen. So I made this art piece as my understanding of a real Queen- the strong one, that never give up.

I used Gelli print board with DecoArt Fluid acrylics and Tando stencils as my base and then used black acrylic with StencilGirl stencil as the main  point of my  art piece.

I invite you to play with our Mixed Media challenge this month and every month and to see if you are your own Mixed Media Queen!
