Oh So Shabby Vintage Layout with BFS Compositions

Hey Crafty Friends it's been awhile since I've posted on my blog!  
I started with craft cardstock distressed the edges with decorative scissors and Tim Holtz distressing tool and did the same with paper from the  Compositions collection.  Then I did some tearing,  I just love that look with the white edges.  I also took a few leftover paper pieces from Compositons and added it in the big gaps of where I tore the paper.



With more of my scrap pieces from Compositions I did some diecutting.  I added crocheted doilies,  twine Reneabouquets Gorgeous Butterflies,  seedbeads,  lace,  metal trinket,  BFS Glitter and wooden buttons and flowers to create my layers and interest to this layout.









This layout was so fun to create using Compostions collection, YAY I used some scraps!

I hope I've inspired you to get your crafty wand out and create something beautiful!

Happy Creating!

Seahorse Mixed Media Project Entry for Finnabair's Art Recipe Challenge November 2020

 Hello Friends!  I have my November Entry for Finnabair Art Recipe Challenge,  these challenges are so much fun!  I Love every product of Finnabair!  I Altered a Seahorse using lots of Finnabair!

For my background I used Finnabair stencil and White Sand Texture paste,  then I used Finnabair's Magenta Liquid Acrylic fluid.  I mixed Finnabair's Mica Powder's Silver and Blue in 3D Gel and alittle bit of Snow White Impasto paint and painted in various places.  I also added that mixture to Finnabair Wings and on the edges of the Seahorse.  




I sprinkled some Blue from Finnabair's Art Ingredients Carribean Sea Glitter Set.


















I love this color combination  Deep Beetroot is so amazing,  I juice beets regularly and everytime I make it I just love the color!  
I hope you get a chance to join this challenge and also check out the inspiration at Finnabair's Art Recipe!  

Thank you for stopping by!

Happy Creating!!!
