Autumn wishes 22

Hi there! Today I'm sharing an autumn themed project that I was inspired by the beautiful color palette for the October Prima's Product Pick challenge:

I created a mixed media style tag which features a variety of Prima products including: texture, pretty embellishments and lots of shimmery details:

I made the pumpkin using chipboard and steel bladed dies, assembled then applied Prima crackle texture paste. For a bit of shimmer, I applied Prima Metallique Gold Rush acrylic paint. I embellished with various Prima flowers, a resin owl and glittery gold leaves:

To create the background, I applied a coat of Prima white gesso once dry, I added texture using a Prima stencil and Prima texture paste. After that layer was dry, I adhered Prima pebbles and Prima Roman numeral embellishments. For color, I painted on Prima purple mica powder:

For the final step, I splashed on the following Prima products: white gesso, Metallique Pink Blush and  Metallique Gold Rush acrylic paints:

I'm also joining along with the current Curtain Call Inspiration challenge where the theme is Glittery Gourds:

and I'm linking to this week's Paint Party Friday site:

Dream Garden 33

Hi there! It's time for the May Prima Product Pick challenge and this month we are challenging all you Prima fans to create a project using the beautiful color combination shown below:

La Vie...Prima Product Pick 34

Hi there! I hope you are having a great weekend! I'm still here. Scott and I just returned from a trip to NYC where we helped get Meredith settled in her dorm room. I grew up in upstate NY and have visited NYC many times but it never gets old. So much to see and do and never enough time. Here's a photo of the NY skyline including the Brooklyn Bridge that Scott shot at night from the top deck of a double decker bus:

Today I have a layout to share featuring a variety of Prima products:

I scrapped a trio of photos of Scott and I that were taken while we were vacationing in Paris several years ago:

For color inspiration, I joined along with the September's Prima Product Pick challenge:

I started with a piece of pretty paper from the Timeless Memories 12 x 12 Paper Pad. I added a lots of color using a variety of Mica Powders and beads:

I added lots of texture using a couple stencils along with Modeling Paste and Gesso. I embellished with a cluster of flowers and die cut leaves:

For the title, I used an Antique Cloches:

For sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current Sketchabilities sketch challenge:

Many thanks for stopping by!
