Mixed Media Canvas *Courage*

 

Hey Crafty Friends!  Hope all is well with you and getting some crafting time in!  

I joined the challenge at Lindy's Stamp Gang April 2020.  

Did you see the colors and inspiration?  Gorgeous colors!

I decided to use a rectangle canvas!  I started with some Plaster Paste and White Crackle Texture past for the background.  Then I added sprays,  magical shaker and embossing powder.

I also added embossing powder to the chipboard pieces,  I always love mixing Lindy's Embossing powders they are amazing!

Here is a close up of how I mixed the embossing powders.

You can see a hint of pink and that's where I added embossing powder,  it gave it a frosted look.

I added lots of embellishments to add more dimension and also love to add beads,  sequins and microbeads for more interest.

I hope you get a chance to join the fun at Lindy's Stamp Gang!

Lindy's Stamp Gang March 2020 Challenge Entry By the Sea

Hey Crafty Friends,  Have you seen the new March challenge at Lindy's Stamp Gang?  Go check it out!  I had to create something beachy!

I recycled a plastic cover from the Swiffer Mop pad package!  First I painted a coat of Clear Gesso then used White Crackle texture paste thru a new stencil from Finnabair and added art stones for added texture.  Then I sprayed Lindy's Starburst Azure Sea Asters spray,  Lindy's Starburst California Poppy Gold Spray and Lindy's Starburst Ponderosa Pines Olive Spray for the background.  

For the "By the Sea" chipboard from Scrapaholics I heat embossed Lindy's Chalk it up Chunky Embossing Powder then I added Lindy's Carefree Verdigris Chunky Embossing Powder then I painted half of it with some acrylic paint.  For more texture I added Reneabouquets Gold Microbeads to the stars.

I also heat embossed Lindy's Chalk it up Chunky Embossing Powder and Lindy's Carefree Verdigris Chunky Embossing Powder on the Mermaid Chipboard and then added sequins to the Mermaid.

For the Turtle I heat embossed Lindy's Tin Roof Rusted Chunky Embossing Powder.

I wanted to add color and texture to the seaweed so I added Lindy's Tin Roof Rusted Chunky Embossing Powder,  Lindy's Chalk it up Chunky Embossing Powder and Lindy's Carefree Verdigris Chunky Embossing Powder in layers,  I love how it turned out!

Make sure you go and check out Lindy's Stamp Gang March Challenge,  so much inspiration and so fun to join the challenge!

Scrapbook Layout for Blue Fern Studios Fan of the Month Using Wanderlust

Hey Blue Fern Studios Fans Phyllis here to share another layout using papers from the Wanderlust collection!  I'm a huge fan of shades of blues,  it reminds me of the water at a beach!  

I started stamping with Blue Fern Studios Arcadia Textures stamp and Crackle Textures stamp.  After stamping I did some stenciling using White Crackle Texture paste and molding paste.  For the burlap texture I added some of Blue Fern Studios Embossing powders for hints of color.  Then with my other stencil I only added the White Crackle Texture paste,  it gives it just enough texture to my background.

I also used Blue Fern Studios Corner Flourishs chipboard to my layout,  I heat embossed Blue Fern Studios embossing powder and then dry brushed Gesso to soften the colors so they blend in a little bit.

I did some diecutting with the Wanderlust papers for more texture.  I added Wanderlust Lillies flowers and a few flowers from the Apricot Blooms flowers.  The "Journey" chipboard sticker from Wanderlust collection went perfect with this layout!

For more texture (because I can never have enough) I added beads,  art stones and Blue Fern Studios seedlings and embossing powder glitter.  I gathered some embellishments from my stash to complete this layout!

This layout was fun to create using lots of Blue Fern Studios items!  The paper is Amazing,  I still have a hard time cutting into it though!

Thank you for stopping by Blue Fern Studios today,  I hope I've inspired you to create something beautiful day!

Happy Creating!
