*Be in the Moment* Mixed Media Altered Bird Entry for Finnabair Art Recipe Challenge

Hey Crafty Friends I'm here to share my latest Mixed Media project for Finnabair Art Recipe Challenge for July  Have you seen the moodboard,  the colors are Gorgeous!
I altered a bird form,  I've had this in my stash for a long time and finally I was inspired to use it with the moodboard colors.

 I used Finnabair's Flutter tissue for my backround,  lightly brushed White Gesso and then did some stamping with Finnabair's Dare to Dream.  After I painted the chipboard with Finnabair's Pink Impasto paint I heat embossed using Finnabair's Dare to Dream.  

 I used Finnabair's Art Ingredients Grass microbeads on the tail and also in the little glass bottle.  

 For the edging of the bird I used Finnabair's Art Alchemy Patina Green Matt wax.  

I had so much fun creating this project,  the colors are really Gorgeous and the products I used helped me with this project.

Be sure to check out the inspiration for this challenge!  

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Creating!

Finnabair Art Recipe Challenge for October Entry

Another Fun Challenge at Finnabair Art Recipe Challenge October

I'm back with a small Mixed Media Tag using lots of Finnabair products!  I am recycling the packaging and started creating texture using Art Extravagance Stone Effect Pumice Paste and White Crackle Texture Paste then I added Art Alchemy Metallique Royal Blue and Hazelnut Acrylic Paint to the background.

I grabbed embellishments including an assortment of Finnabair Mechanicals and started creating my design.

The White Crackle Texture Paste shows up ever so slightly!  I painted the Star chipboard pieces with Art Alchemy Metallique Ancient Coin Acrylic Paint.  

I added Art Stones and Glitter to the Mechanical Leaf embellishment and also added Gold microbeads.

Once I was happy with the placement of the embellishments I used Art Alchemy Green Brocade Opal Magic Wax on the edges of the entire tag!

I love using all Finnabair products,  so many different ways to use them!  I hope you get a chance to join the challenge,  it takes me out of my box!

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Creating!

My Entry for Finnabair's September Art Recipe Challenge

Check out Finnabair Art Challenge-September 

Wow did you see the Art Challenge for September?  This definitely was a challenge for me,  I don't usually use this color combination!  Once I quit thinking about what I was going to create I couldn't stop with embellishing!

I used Finnabair's Stencil-Flourish,  it's one of my favorite stencil for my mixed media projects!  The texture paste I used thru the stencil was another favorite of mine,  the White Sand Texture paste.  Once the texture paste was dry I painted over with Finnabair's Heavy White Gesso,  let that dry and then starting adding Liquid Acrylic Carmine and Prima's Color Bloom Worn Leather.  

Once all the paint was dry I did alittle bit of stamping and then painted my old paint brush with Heavy White Gesso then added Brown Rust Effects to the metal part of the paint brush.  I also added the Cream Texture paste Fantasy to the wooden part of the paint brush.  I used some Finnabair Moulds and added more Cream Texture Paste Fantasy paint to the wings and star.  Once the texture paste was dry I then added Carmine to the wings and to the star,  diluted it with some water and let it dry. 

I added Reneabouquets Handcrafted Dragonflies that went so amazing with the colors!  I gathered lots of embellishments from my stash and started glueing down everything.  

To complete this tag I added Gold Rush Glitter Glass Art Ingredients.  

Finnabair Art Recipe June 2019 Entry

Hey Crafty Friends!  Have you seen the Finnabair's Art Recipe June 2019 Challenge?  I love these colors!  

I looked thru my Prima packaging stash and I picked up a chipboard sticker package with the negative spaces so I decided to use it to start this project!  I used Art Basics Modeling Opaque Matte Paste and mixed it with Art Ingredients Mini Art Stones,  then used a stencil to create some background texture.  While it was drying I got my clear crackle out and covered some images in metal frames.  Once the paint was dry on the board I added some White Crackle Texture Paste for more texture.

Next I got my Worn Leather Color Bloom Spray and sprayed the entire bakground,  I dried it with my heat tool then added some Art Alchemy Deep Waters Acrylic Paint and Golden Moss all over.  I had some Cogs and Wings and Stars & Moons Moulds pieces for this project,  I coated them with Heavy White Gesso and then added some paint.  

I started placing my embellishments around the board and then added some microbeads and seedbeads.  Then I added some little spots of Rust Effects and also some Art Alchemy Mediterranean Impasto paint.  

I found the perfect Butterfly from Reneabouquets and placed on the bottom of biggest frame.   

In my stash I had some Say it with Crystals that was perfect for this project!  

I placed one of the images in the negative space and it was perfect for the space.  I used one of Reneabouquets Metal Trinket Spoons and placed it sideaways below the picture.  

Another fun embellishment was from Art Ingredients Melange Art Pebbles,  I added some stickers from 7 Dots Studio behind the Art Pebble,  I love how it turned out after adding paints,  Microbeads and Rust Effects to it.  

My last step was adding some Brown Rust from the Rust Effects paint set.  

This Challenge was so much fun!  Thank you for stopping by!
