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!  

Go check out the inspiration at Finnabair's Art Recipe Challenge!

Mixed Media Academy March 2020 Challenge Entry

Hey Crafty Friends!  How are you all doing?  Hope you are getting some crafting time in!  Here is my entry for Mixed Media Academy Challenge,  this is a real challenge for me because I don't usually reach for shades of purple very often.  Most times I don't have very many supplies in shades of purple.  

I created a layout on an acetate sheet!

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!
