My first Finnabair Art Recipe Entry for April 2019

Hi Crafty Friends!  I'm here today to share my first entry for Finnabair's Art Recipe April 2019 Challenge,  the colors for the challenge is so Gorgeous!  I grabbed a canvas and started creating!

I started with a Prima Stencil for the background with a mix of White Sand texture paste,  glitter and acrylic paint.  Then I added some Emerald Liquid Acrylic paint in various places on the canvas,  once that was dry I added some Cobalt Color Bloom Spray mixed in with the Emerald Liquid Acrylic paint.  While the paint was drying I used my butterfly wings die cut and added some Prima Glitter in blue and green.

I grabbed some embellishments from my stash and started creating my design.  I used Old Silver Metallique Wax to my canvas,  Prima Gears and also to the word Sparkle.

For the Prima Marketing Frank Garcia Memory Hardware frame I sprayed it with some Cobalt Color Bloom Spray and then rubbed some Old Silver Metallique wax to the frame.  

I also added some microbeads,  art stones, say it with crystals,  sequins and glitter for interest.

I used Reneabouquets beautiful board and butterflies to complete my design.

For my last touch I flicked some White Gesso mixed with some Alchemy White Pearl Acrylic paint.  

I'm always so inspired by Finnabair's DT and I can't wait to see what they each create next!

Thank you for stopping by and Happy Creating!

My Entry for Lindy's Stamp Gang's April Color Challenge

Hey Crafty Friends have you checked out Lindy's Stamp Gang April Challenge?  Such Gorgeous colors!  

Here is my layout!  When I first glanced at the color scheme colors I had no idea what or how I was going to create what I had in my head.  I actually started recording a YouTube process video but after the background work I wasn't sure if it was going in the direction I hoped so I stopped the video.  At the end of this post I will have the quick process video.  

This Color combination is amazing!  I used Lindy's Stamp Gang's April Limited Edition color set.  Lots of ink spraying and using embossing powders!

I did use some embossing powders on the fairy resin pieces,  I didn't want them to stand out too much so I used light colors.

I also love to use ReneaBouquets Frosty Pink Dragonflies,  they were perfect for these colors!

Love me some microbeads,  glitter,  beads,  art stones and sequins for more texture and sparkle!

I wish I could capture the embossing I created on this chipboard piece,  Lindy's Stamp Gang Limited Edition April Embossing Powders were so Gorgeous to create with!  I love adding lots of layers with their embossing powders,  it really adds so much texture and interest to any project!

I also created a small shaker element to my layout surrounded by a chipboard circle that was embossed with powders.

I hope you get a chance to join the color challenge at Lindy's Stamp Gang April Color Challenge,  the colors are Amazing!
