Take Your Time Mixed Media Plaque inspired by Art Daily Cafe Cornucopia-August 2020

Hey Crafty Friends,  how is everyone doing?  Hopefully you're getting some crafting time in!  
I was inspired to try Art Daily Cafe Corncucopia August 2020 moodboard!  If you have time check it out!  
I created on a Prima Vintage Wall Decor Base using lots of Finnabair products,  Scrapaholic and Reneabouquets supplies.
For the technique image transfer I grabbed an image from Finnabair's Vintage photobooth sticker sheet.  I had to watch a video on how to transfer the image.  It only took 3 tries!  LOL!
You're supposed to let the image dry overnight,  I was impatient the first 2 times and tried rubbing off the paper.......BAD mistake!!!  Be patient!!!  I really enjoyed the process after I let it dry overnight but you still have to be careful!  


I did some stenciling with White Sand texture paste then I used some Finnabair's Liquid Acrylic paints.  I also used Finnabair's moulds for embellishing.  I also added some Art Stones for added texture!
I used Frank Garcia's Resin Frame and used wax on it and then added some microbeads.  Once the Leafy vines and Cogs and Wings mould pieces were almost dry I painted them with different Liquid Acrylic paints then added Rust Effects paste Gold Rust.  I also painted the chipboard pieces from Scrapaholic with those same paints.  For the Art Pebbles I used an Acrylic paint.

Once everything was in place I added Finnabair metal embellishments,  Prima Flowers,  beads,  sequins,  Glass Glitter and microbeads. 



In the end this turned out way better than I thought,  at the beginning when I was using paints it wasn't looking so good but I kept playing!  
Thank you Art Daily Cafe for having this fun monthly challenge,  it's another place for me to join the fun and also gets me out of my comfort zone to try new and fun ideas!  It also gives me another chance to use my favorite mixed media products from Finanbair!

Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Creating!

*Little Moments* Mixed Media Canvas Entry for More Than Words Challenge

Hey Crafty Friends how are you all doing?  Hope all is well and you're getting your crafting on!  I finally had a chance to join More Than Words Challenge,  it's been awhile since I've entered!
I've had a canvas sitting in my unfinished pile so I thought I would grab one of the canvases that I started months ago and got busy creating!  I started grabbing my pink flowers and embellishments I wanted to use on the canvas.  When I created this canvas I was thinking of how I say Goodbye to some of my projects,  even though I'd like to keep them all it is impossible.  When someone buys my project I detach myself from it even though it might be a favorite of mine and let it go.  Saying Goodbye or letting go is sometimes a challenge but in Life we must learn to say Goodbye and let go!  
You can see all the details below!













This Challenge at More Than Words was so fun I hope you get a chance to join the challenge!  
Thank you for stopping by!

*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!
