Hi there! Today I have a trio of cards to share featuring pretty papers from the Pion Design Paris Flea Market collection along with sweet images from the Images from the past ~ Valentine.

All three are quite similar, just a few differences here and there:

I pulled out a variety of PTI dies and stamps to create the layered hearts, tag and sentiments:

I embellished each one with a bow, button and tag:

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

Thanks so much for stopping by ~ I hope you have a great weekend!
Be Sweet ;)

Hi there! Are you ready for the weekend? I sure am! The weather is beautiful here ~ temps in the 80's along with blue sunny skies. Today I have a layout to share inspired by the pretty Prima February's Prima Product Pick inspiration board:

Lots of texture and blossoms:

I scrapped a couple of our wedding photos that I had on hand which I never tire of looking at :)

along with lots of pretty Prima flowers, Prima die cut foliage:

and a sweet Prima cherub resin piece:

I started with a pretty piece of patterned paper from the Prima Princess collection:

I added lots of texture using Prima modeling paste along with the Prima Bubbles stencil. For color, I used the following ColourArte products: Silks Acrylic Glaze: SLK-148 African Jade, SLK-116 Pink Grapefruit, SLK-165 Wine & Roses Primary Elements: PE-545 Dreams Bloom, PE-512 Black Orchid, PE-230 Pink Crocus:

Hi there! Today I have a project to share as part of the application process to become a member of the fabulous ColourArte DT.

In case you are not familiar with ColourArte products, please be sure to visit their site ~ HERE. ColourArte makes and sells a variety of beautiful and unique Watercolor-Acrylic Hybrid paints, Watercolor Twinkling H20s, Silks Acrylic Glazes, Primary Elements Artist Pigments and Radiant Gel Paints.

I created a canvas featuring a variety of ColourArte products including Silks Acrylic Glazes and Primary Elements Artist Pigments along with lots of texture and a variety of embellishments:

To create this project, collage and adhered tissue wrap paper on the canvas:

Once dry, add lots of texture using a stencil and texture paste:

Allow to dry, adhere the heart and embellishments then paint the entire canvas with white Gesso:

Once dry, paint the entire canvas with Silks Acrylic Glaze African Jade. Highlight the perimeter of the heart with Silks Acrylic Glaze Bolivian Blue then mist with water to blend the colors. Highlight the center of the heart with Oytser Silks Acrylic Glaze:

As a final touch, mix a small amount of African Jade and Bolivian Blue Primary Elements Artist Pigments with a couple spritzes of water then highlight the perimeter of the heart and flowers. Allow to dry then randomly splatter with White Acrylic paint:
