Be Brave Mixed Media Entry for Finnabair Art Recipe June Challenge

Hi Crafty Friends!  I have joined the monthly challenge at Finnabair's Art Recipe June Challenge!  The colors were definitely a challenge and that's why I love this challenge!  I created a Mixed Media piece *Be Brave* using lots of Finnabair products!

I used Unicorn Effect Paste thru a stencil for my background texture,  once it was dry I sprayed Color Bloom 2 Fairy Pond and I also added Art Alchemy Metallique Acrylic Paint Deep Waters.  I also added Art Alchemy Carmine Liquid Acrylic Paint (this was the closest color to Red that I had in my stash) and I sprayed water to spread the paint,  it blended with the Deep Waters and I love how it turned out.  

For the Cream I painted Art Extra Vagance Texture Fantasy Cream to a metal flower,  after glueing tissue paper to the wings I also painted them with the Texture Fantasy Cream Paste and my last Cream I added some Tulle Trim behind the Steampunk Cameo chipboard piece.

I used Art Alchemy Wax Mystic Turquoise to the Metal embellishments and Opal Magic Wax Green Brocade for a finishing touch to the metal embellishments.

I always love adding more texture so I get my beads and microbeads out to finish my project!  I hope you are inspired to try these colors it is so fun!

Join the challenge!

Happy Creating!

Listen To Your Heart Mixed Media Tag

Hey Crafty Friends I'm here with another Mixed Media project I created for Finnabair's Art Recipe Challenge for April.  I really love this challenge because it truly is a challenge for me,  the colors are not what I usually grab to create with.  I had to dig in and create something for this challenge!  

I used Prima and Finnabair packaging for my "canvas" to create a tag.  I used Finnabair's Floral Net stencil although you can only see a hint of it.  I painted my mould shapes with Finnabair Acrylic paint and then added FinnabairWax.  Then I heat embossed green and lavender to my chipboard piece then added Art Alchemy Acrylic paint in Fairy Wings to add to the chipboard panel.  

I used Finnabair's Decorative Flutter Tissue paper,  cut it out and glued it with 3D Soft Gel onto black cardstock then cut it out.  I cut it in half and started placing some of my embellishments for my design.  This added a nice beginning layer for all my other elements.

For my "Wings" mould pieces I added more of Finnabair's decorative Flutter Tissue Paper to the wings using 3D Soft Gel.  

I grabbed my Art Ingredients Gold Leaf Mica Flakes along with beads,  glitter and microbeads to add more bling and texture.

I added more Finnabair embellishments for more interest.

I flicked some Art Alchemy Acrylic paints for sprinkles and splats of paint.

I also used a lid from Finnabair's Art Pebbles jar and I cut it to make it look like a flower.

So "Listen To Your Heart" and go play along with Finnabair's Art Recipe Challenge!  Check out the talented DT too!!!

Finnabair Art Recipe March 2020 Challenge Entry

Hey Crafty Friends!  Another entry for Finnabair Art Recipe Challenge for March 2020.  

I couldn't decide what to create,  so I started going thru my stash and I found an Anchor that was calling my name!  

I grabbed some embellishments and glued them down.  I also added some shells from my stash I found in Mexico.

I used Finnabair's Heavy White Gesso to prep the Anchor,  then added Finnabair's White Crackle Texture paste and I also added Art Extravagance Cream from the Texture Fantasy Old Walls set.  I let it all dry then I used Art Alchemy Liquid Acrylic Tiger Orange paint and mixed it with Art Alchemy Opal Magic's Rose Gold to tone down the Tiger Orange hoping it would look more like Coral!

I added some Art Alchemy Metallique paint Deep Waters and also Art Alchemy Impasto Boudour Pink randomly,  I was going for a rust effect!  

Once all the paints were dry I added some Art Ingredients Blush Microbeads and Gold Microbeads from Reneabouquets.

I hope you get a chance to join the challenge,  I always have fun with this challenge!

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.  

Entry for Finnabair's Art Recipe July 2019 Challenge

 Colours of July Art Recipe:

pink, mint, yellow green

Products:

Art Alchemy: Sparks

Art Alchemy: Metallique Paints

Art Ingredients: Glass Beads

Art Basics: 3D Gel (matte or gloss)

Hey Crafty Friends I'm here to share my project entry for Finnabair's Art Recipe July Challenge,  have you seen the inspiration???  So inspiring!  This really was a great challenge for me and I need this to help me get out of my little box!  I've never used this color combo before.  

I used a 9x12 canvas,  I began using stencils,  3D Gloss Gel with Mini Art Stones and White Sand Texture Paste from Art Ingredients Finnabair products to create my background!  Once the texture paste was dry I used Sorbet Color Bloom Spray Mist from Prima in random spots and then added Art Alchemy Impasto Mint Acrylic paint and my last color I added Lime Color Bloom Spray Mist from Prima.  I let it dry and then got my Prima Stamps out to add more depth to my background.  I also added Art Alchemy Sparks Unicorn's Hair for alittle shine to the background.

I went thru my stash and got some crocheted doilies,  Reneabouquets Beautiful Board Lasercut Chipboard,  fabric and paper flowers,  Prima Metal Embellishments,  Metal embellishments and some Art Ingredients Melange Art Pebbles and also made some Wings from Finnabair's mould.  

I laid out my design with the doilies,  chipboard pieces and metal embellishments plus some alphabet stickers I've had in my stash for years.  Glued everything down and then started adding detail with some of the Impasto(Mint),  Art Alchemy Opal Magic(Pink-Blue),  Art Alchemy Acrylic paint(Pure Sunshine) and Art Alchemy Sparks(Unicorn's Hair.  

Once all the painting detail was finished I started adding some Art Ingredients Glass Beads(Licorice) and some Pink beads from my stash,  and then I added some Gold microbeads.  To adhere the beads and microbeads I used Art Basics 3D Glossy Gel.

Pure Sunshine Art Alchemy Acrylic paint was added to the back of the Art Pebbles,  I love how it pops with that bright yellow!

I just love adding any Finnabair texture paste to my projects,  there are so many possibilities with them!  

I did forget to mention I also used Art Extra Vagance White Crackle Texture Paste and I just love the texture it gives my projects!

I also added some White Crackle Texture Paste to the Wings and then painted with Art Alchemy Sparks(Fairy Wings) and Art Alchemy Opal Magic(Pink-Blue) plus Gold microbeads!

I hope you get a chance to join in on the challenge,  it truly is alot of fun and challenging!  Go check out the DT inspiration!
