Love 37

Hi there! So happy the long holiday weekend is here! I'm looking forward to fun times with my family. Today I have a layout to share featuring my sweet boy Griffin :)

 I combined a couple beautiful colors of ColourArte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mists: Teal Zircon and Sea Foam to create a fun and colorful background along with fab 7 Dots Studio papers:

 I framed Griffin with a resin frame with beautiful gold highlights that were created using ColourArte Emperor's Gold Dimensional Gel:

Love the pretty water color looking background that I created with lots of layers of the ColourArte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mists listed above:

 Flowers from my stash, a resin butterfly and die cut foliage were used to embellish the page:

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

For color inspiration, I joined along with the current Scraps N Pieces challenge:

For theme inspiration, I joined along with the current scrapki-wyzwaniowo challenge where the theme is all about Bubbles (I used a Bubble stencil and several acrylic bubble embellishments):

Many thanks for visiting! I hope you have a great weekend!

Be Sweet ;)

joy....a ColourArte tutorial 37

Hi there! I hope you are having a great week! Now that we are nearly settled in our new home, I have more time to create so I made a colorful and dimensional project to share featuring a variety of ColourArte products including several of the newly released products: Silks Acrylic Glaze:Apple Blossom, Plum Blossom and Radiant rain Shimmering Mist: apple blossom along with many other fabulous ColourArte products listed below.

I combined the colorful ColourArte products with a variety of flowers, a Gina's Designs chipboard dressform and lots of texture:

 I love the elegant Gina's Designs chipboard dressform so much, that I couldn't resist creating another project featuring the pretty piece again. In case you missed my previous project, click here: 

I altered the chipboard piece using Silks Acrylic Glaze Silver Bells and chunky embossing enamel then for a touch of elegance, I embellished with a pearl necklace and fluffy feather:

 For the sentiment, I used a Spellbinders bezel filled with chunky glass glitter and Ice Resin. 

The skirt was made using flowers from my stash and were colored using the following ColourArte products: Silks Acrylic Glaze: Wisteria, Pink Grapefruit, Solar Gold, Apple Blossom, Plum Blossom, Silver Bells, Radiant rain Shimmering Mist: apple blossom, peach fuzz, plumeria:

Here are several steps I took along the way sharing my creative process: 
Once canvas was prepped with Gesso, collaged tissue paper and modeling paste for texture, I randomly applied Silks Acrylic Glaze: Wisteria, Pink Grapefruit, Solar Gold, Apple Blossom, Plum Blossom, Radiant rain Shimmering Mist: apple blossom, peach fuzz, plumeria. Layering and layering until the desired look was achieved:

Once background was created, I applied the chipboard piece and flowers then randomly applied Silks Acrylic Glaze: Wisteria, Pink Grapefruit, Solar Gold, Apple Blossom, Plum Blossom:

For added depth and dimension, I applied Radiant rain Shimmering Mist: apple blossom and plumeria:

For the final touch, I randomly applied Silks Acrylic Glaze Solar Gold and splattered with white acrylic paint:

I'm joining along with the current Artist Trading Post challenge where the theme is to use an object found in nature ~ feather ~ and one product from the ATP store ~ Ice Resin.

For color inspiration, I joined along with the current Words & Paintery challenge:

Many thanks for visiting ~ I hope you enjoyed my project! I'll be back Thursday for an all new ColourArte project to share!

Be Sweet ;)

Dream 27

 Hi there! I hope you are having a great weekend! Today I have a card to share that I made for sweet Meredith in celebration of her upcoming high school graduation next week. 

 I combined beautiful ColourArte products along with a Gina's Designs chipboard dressform:

 I painted the chipboard piece with Gesso, applied crackle paste, waited for the paste to work it's magic then gave it a final application using ColourArte Silver Bells Silks Acrylic Glaze:

 I randomly applied ColourArte Silver Bells Silks Acrylic Glaze along with ColourArte Lemondrop Primary Elements to the background then activated with misted water. Once the card was assembled, I embellished with a trio of white flowers from my stash which I custom colored using ColourArte Lemondrop Silks Acrylic Glaze:

For color and theme inspiration, I joined along with the current Fusion challenge: French Twist: 

 and for sketch inspiration, I joined along with the current retrosketches sketch challenge:

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