Natural Beauty, Happy and Dream art boards with SinCity

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second February post made with the most gorgeous Sin City Stamps.Irit is here again and this is my second February tutorial for you. Today I am going to share three small art pieces made over Mixed Media small  boards  with three similar, but totally different Sin City stamps in three totally different color schemes. The only paint I used here are mists and  I wanted to show you my most favorite way to add stamped images to totally textured surfaces. Product list: Sin City stamps Face profile line art Classic face 3/4 view line art Face 3/4 view strand of hair Natural Beauty word phrase Happy Birthday phrase Old style key Dream word Other products: Mixed Media boards Stencils Texture paste Clear Crackle paste Black permanent ink Mists Tissue paper Ribbon, wool, yarn Scissors White gesso Gel medium Step by step instructions: 1.Cover three Mixed Media boards with white gesso and let it dry.

2.Add a thick layer of Clear texture paste using three different small stencils. Use different stencil on each board.

3.Remove the stencils and let the paste dry. It becomes totally clear when dry.

4.Cover the edges of each board with white crackle paste. Again, the magic word: Let it dry! You see the crackles when it's dry, not before.

5.Stamp all three face stamps using permanent black ink and white tissue paper.

6.Tear each stamped image apart and glue over the boards as shown with Gel medium over and under the stamped piece.

7. Glue the " hair" to each image: the ribbon, the yarn and the natural wool . The colors doesn't matter as we cover the hair with a thick layer of white gesso.

8. Mist each board with different mists. Pick the colors that fit the stamped image mood. For this pretty, but angry lady vintage mix of colors was the best choice.

9.Mist the second board with some shabby, dreamy  colors of mists.

 10. Mist the last board with a mix of lovely pastel colors.

11. Stamp the sentiments for each board in the same  black ink and tissue way. Natural beauty was the best sentiment for the " angry" lady. Dream key was the choice for the second one. For the bright board stamp " Happy Birthday" sentiment and tear the word Happy. Glue all words with Gel Medium. And this is the final project :

 And  now to the separate boards:

I really hope that you liked my small art pieces (bigger than ATC, but  not the card size). You can also buy almost all of the stamps  in this Natural Beauty sheet of rubber.  See you again next month!

Spring love card

Spring card made for some challenges with shaker part on it using Stamplorations stamps for resist emboss and inside the window.
Black pen drawing lines were made on this  water color card and hand stamped butterfly was embellished with foam glue heart.

Joy in little things wreath with BoBunny

This fancy paper wreath is my February BoBunny Media project.
Most of my crafty friends think that the best thing for being on DT is to get free products. For me being on DT is to be constantly challenged to make projects with products that I get and not always fit my style, way of life or even my religion.So to get this most gorgeous Faith collection and being Jewish takes me to challenge myself to another level of crafting: to use the products in the most general way and to show the customers that this collection can be used for a totally different purpose. And this is how this door wreath was born. Made for my tomorrow's Media post. Let's say that this was a whole day of crafting- tons of cardstock strips, tons of die cutting and arranging the flowers and yes, this fantastic collection is for EVERYONE!

It was made with the new, fabulous, just released collection named " Faith" and I made it to show that this collection can be used as a general one, not even connected to Bible or religion.
So I wrapped the foam base wreath with tons of 1/2'' hand cut cardstock pieces and then added all die cut flowers, leaves and finished with some chipboards and stickers.

Just Love card with Unity

Sometimes I have a spare time to make some web challenges.
 So this Mixed Media card is made for Craft Stamper MITI February Anything goes challenge.
Just something monochromatic made with tons of Unity stamps, dry embossed and rolled vellum, heat embossing on cardstock and vellum, stickers stitches to cover the torn line of wet cardstock and inks and mists all around.

I enter it to Craft Stamper challenge
Card concept- Vintage
 Love to scrap- Who loves you, baby? with stamping
 Dream in Darkness- Anything MM not cute

Love and hearts week with Tando

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Welcome to my new Tando post and this week we were challenged to make projects with hearts and love things.
So without any  additional thought I grabbed my most loved Heart shaped printer's  Tando tray and made this project that is full of hearts and love and was just a perfect gift  for Valentine.
As you can see I used tons of Tando goodies and you can see the full list at the end of this post.
Anyway all shapes were painted and them glittered or heat embossed with Stampendous glitter or embossing powders.
 The background cardstock is from DCVW, but this is the only products that you can't find in TANDO shop.
Here you can see the hearts painted inside and painted around with DecoArt Copper paint and then glittered over.
 The key hole heart and the key are covered with Stampendous embossing powder.

The sentiment was heat embossed with copper powder and the frame was covered with Crackle glaze over the dark red DecoArt paint.

 Tando products used:
Mini heart printer tray


Set of 5 keys

Tando minis Hearts



Frantage mica kit

DecoArt Media line
I add this piece to some web challenges:
Country view- 30 minute or less- this is sure half an hour art creation, not more
