It's been a while since I did a canvas, so I figured it was about time! I recently saw a project that incorporated macrame and loved the idea, so I decided to try it, although my use was much simpler.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIe8Y5Y7pYR2EVdtBlcQb5uOgw3DaNMG3Z2BPfvpYVX9PfSawmsrkmMkcTQcSbPV71gax82xy5KQxi1IKBWcONrEkOT3MvWPMOwZ13tRje44SrwxkbWjHmCGYyriToYPS_7yARTXbP4uvJs3scg3ytpWAKTx1oNPoly2PkNtsK_IM5qoF2LAPtAAY-6g/s3206/IMG_20220327_174423563~2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2725" data-original-width="3206" height="544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIe8Y5Y7pYR2EVdtBlcQb5uOgw3DaNMG3Z2BPfvpYVX9PfSawmsrkmMkcTQcSbPV71gax82xy5KQxi1IKBWcONrEkOT3MvWPMOwZ13tRje44SrwxkbWjHmCGYyriToYPS_7yARTXbP4uvJs3scg3ytpWAKTx1oNPoly2PkNtsK_IM5qoF2LAPtAAY-6g/w640-h544/IMG_20220327_174423563~2.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I made two ropes of square knots and two of half knots and glued them at the sides; I had planned on using spray gesso for better coverage of the macrame ropes and into the grooves of the roses, then found my can was no longer working, so I had to content myself with brushing it on. The roses were fairly dark so I had kind of counted on the coverage of the spray, so needless to say it took quite a bit of brushing before they were covered enough to spray. I think sprays hate me, because I also had a couple of my favourite mists act up! UGH! The moral of the story, I think, is not to let your supplies sit unused for too long or they will rebel! Once I was satisfied with the misted colours I rubbed Finnabair waxes onto the letters and most of the embellishments to make them pop a bit. I love the Peacock Blue and it really made the lettering stand out. The orrnate doilies behind the macrame ropes are from Gypsy Soul LaserCuts, as is the lovely round chipboard piece in the center. The cute wooden flowers are from Dollarama, believe it or not.<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed seeing my project, and I wish you creativity, faith and freedom!<br />xx Lynne</div><br /><p></p>LynneJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13379144138118673524noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477657776731234022.post-63944742732920114892022-02-04T09:00:00.002-05:002022-02-04T09:00:00.172-05:00"Beautiful Things" layout for Creative Artiste<p> Hello and Happy New Year, creative friends! I'm happy to be back with a mixed media layout to share with you. As some of you my know, I love squirrels, and found this wonderful photo and quote online ages ago, printed it out and saved it to use on a page "someday". Now more than ever we need to be aware of the beauty around us to stay grateful and positive, so I thought this was the perfect "someday" to create a page with it.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBOt-ip1KHsGk-ESggdxvtXClFT4t4d3tNK-pQI6NIYMjchHYuHVouof6l2QiET4RfkRpI1kkm9ptmjfxt350G8iwRY4OfaPE6C_DA5nYWEEY0q4_ebssjCZH2fA8AMZ3ZTsDvdZFGHiZWH2Muh_8cOz9JkATBcf30HFxKteIeGG3u_ICqWKE3YaM_bQ=s2959" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2929" data-original-width="2959" height="634" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhBOt-ip1KHsGk-ESggdxvtXClFT4t4d3tNK-pQI6NIYMjchHYuHVouof6l2QiET4RfkRpI1kkm9ptmjfxt350G8iwRY4OfaPE6C_DA5nYWEEY0q4_ebssjCZH2fA8AMZ3ZTsDvdZFGHiZWH2Muh_8cOz9JkATBcf30HFxKteIeGG3u_ICqWKE3YaM_bQ=w640-h634" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I used some lovely Blue Fern Studios papers from my stash, fussy cut some elements from the Blue Fern paper as well as from some Graphic 45 Woodland Friends, added flowers, jute and burlap fibers, punched leaves, and strips made with a Martha Stewart border punch.

I love to decorate for Christmas, and have been making cards as well; right now my craft room is completely destroyed, spread with craft supplies, bins of decorations and ornaments, and Amazon delivery boxes!!

I know most crafters love Halloween and the chance to make wild and crazy, creepy projects, but I'm not a fan and am always glad to see that stuff gone from the stores (and it doesn't break my heart to see the Christmas stuff starting either!) I came across this adorable photo of my son (who is now 29 years old) and just had to put it on a page.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgp_snurNBxICaBVqcMFYq7TgPDaydyqe8CFjMp0C_KyC8tW8k6ejktjQ6bnqwd0bP33rE-NzhOhewIopZfqsuHzdzDsgvJRGxIlyv38ySq5tB-AP3-Auxbfq-VWWrGGReYmMlHNBvapABOXthU5RRhpBJ_5eGD7tavTCIZgMypBzv32Go9-pFumHFhxg=s2987" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2902" data-original-width="2987" height="622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgp_snurNBxICaBVqcMFYq7TgPDaydyqe8CFjMp0C_KyC8tW8k6ejktjQ6bnqwd0bP33rE-NzhOhewIopZfqsuHzdzDsgvJRGxIlyv38ySq5tB-AP3-Auxbfq-VWWrGGReYmMlHNBvapABOXthU5RRhpBJ_5eGD7tavTCIZgMypBzv32Go9-pFumHFhxg=w640-h622" width="640" /></a><br /><br />The ohoto was taken in front of our fireplace and had a pretty cluttery background, so I decided to just use the silhouette, which made it so much easier to choose paper that looked great with it! These are Blue Fern Frolic and Autumn Anthology papers.I used a Tim Holtz alphabet stencil and a Prima stencil for the other design, along with homemade texture paste. Because of the colours. I didn't feel the flower collage was too "girly" for this page, and I was happy with the way it came out. I hope you like it, and also hope you decide to join us at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog this month-it's always anything goes, as long as you use 3 or more mediums!

I haven't been doing a whole lot of papercrafting or mixed media lately, but I did complete this layout using a photo of my uncle who passed away early in the year. At most of our family events, he was the guy behind the camera, so I'm grateful to have this photo.</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjzmc_8yZ_3jTZrbQKMlDOwp3LDSTLGoDVHZ_iAEPcR4w6K7x0lL9Mfr9vyacfRMPdUln5030LP_X8IHOv2JWivjdUa6JFnsPDUXuICMZSWUJW8BHBg4dJ8whr2W5IyujWa5NZxRIJDqTHD1d2m5GBgzIbNAJBtcCCc0DVdN17bmiow-oKDck234j1jGA=s2954" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2907" data-original-width="2954" height="630" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjzmc_8yZ_3jTZrbQKMlDOwp3LDSTLGoDVHZ_iAEPcR4w6K7x0lL9Mfr9vyacfRMPdUln5030LP_X8IHOv2JWivjdUa6JFnsPDUXuICMZSWUJW8BHBg4dJ8whr2W5IyujWa5NZxRIJDqTHD1d2m5GBgzIbNAJBtcCCc0DVdN17bmiow-oKDck234j1jGA=w640-h630" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I used paint, stenciling and a little tearing to distress the background paper, then made some crumply, inky flowers with metal centers (to make sure they were sufficiently masculine!) I had gotten the wonderful bark leaves at a home decor store that was closing out a few years ago and thought they were perfect for this page. The scribbly frame is from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts, heat embossed in gold, then inked in black. A few fussy-cut clocks and gears and some metal embellishments finished it off. The title letters were inked lightly in brown to showcase the texture. Most of the papers are from the BoBunny Heritage line.<br /><br />I pray all is well in your world as you navigate the craziness around us, and I hope you find refuge in creativity...hugs and best wishes...Lynne XX<br /><br /><br /></div><br /><p></p>LynneJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13379144138118673524noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477657776731234022.post-59346383672396811822021-09-03T09:00:00.001-04:002021-09-03T09:00:00.226-04:00"Free in my Faith"-6x6 canvas for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog<p> Hello there crafty friends....my latest canvas is a do-over with a story behind it, and I was happy to hang the finished product over the worktable in my craft room. I had had it there since we moved in here with a quote on it that made me sad every time I noticed it and finally decided it was ridiculous to leave it there. I was going to start over but didn't have another canvas this size and really didn't want to go out for one. I tore everything off of the old one, and I must say that act in itself was rather therapeutic. This is the new finished project:</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9_7lYjLcll6-Rg1mwfTS-6snuU8HMK7UxOvL_lAl3kIisMtjVC8GyEF_bz-z2Xzq0kH3UGugQh51alOXbwxCPm91kzWx7e4FdmA-KvDM_nVfOzan8q03f8Wu8ZD1AYlyQ-A84TtWFlkTJ/s2539/IMG_20210829_122308113_HDR%257E2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2517" data-original-width="2539" height="396" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9_7lYjLcll6-Rg1mwfTS-6snuU8HMK7UxOvL_lAl3kIisMtjVC8GyEF_bz-z2Xzq0kH3UGugQh51alOXbwxCPm91kzWx7e4FdmA-KvDM_nVfOzan8q03f8Wu8ZD1AYlyQ-A84TtWFlkTJ/w400-h396/IMG_20210829_122308113_HDR%257E2.jpg" width="400" /></a><br /><br />My craft room is all done in pastel colours against pale grey walls so it fits in perfectly.

I hope all is well in your world; it's hot and humid here and I've been on a kick listening to old music that I grew up with, either in my craft room or when I'm driving. Recently the lyrics to Neil Diamond's "Shiloh" caught my atention, and got me thinking about flying, which brought me to the story of Icarus and eventually to the idea of a moth to a flame or to light, which is the image I chose to capture on my page.</p><p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNIr9QujDCfiSs3ym7145bVrgsSP_gF5EcfYTdD56n6r9SXIvTpg7GCjcrDCUk3Tbajhcqv_-3QNcWHtggOmn_FXMRtLKh8Z9f-APeb2po2UfTLNbdEqwcCfka9BHHJpiF7LJ_axKb3Y2d/s3610/IMG_20210724_165950718.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2745" data-original-width="3610" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNIr9QujDCfiSs3ym7145bVrgsSP_gF5EcfYTdD56n6r9SXIvTpg7GCjcrDCUk3Tbajhcqv_-3QNcWHtggOmn_FXMRtLKh8Z9f-APeb2po2UfTLNbdEqwcCfka9BHHJpiF7LJ_axKb3Y2d/w640-h486/IMG_20210724_165950718.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /> I created the background with Tattered Angels glimmer mists, starting with black then layering three shades of blue.I spritzed a light layer of yellow mist in the upper right corner before hand-drawing the light bulb, which was finished with coloured pencils.Yellow washi tape and some sponged acrylic paint finished that section, and randomly placed beads completed the blue section. (I just used tweezers and white glue to attach those.) The smaller moths were fussy cut from a sheet of Recollections paper from Michael's, and the large one was from Tim Holtz paper. I drew the flame on a scrap of mottled orange paper and cut away a bit of the moth's wing to create a charred effect, which was edged in black and grey.<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I simply hand-printed my song lyrics on blue patterned paper and inked the edges lightly in black. I very seldom incorporate washi tape or beads in my projects, so this was a good chance to play a little!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I've always found song lyrics fascinating and have been inspired by them in so many of my projects, from scrapbook pages to cards and canvases, art journaling to Bible journal pages, and even occasionally in my zentangle drawings.Next time you're enjoying some down-time listening to music, pay a little extra attention to the lyrics and you just might be inspired to create something interesting!

I had to keep the inner pages fairly flat, but added paper and fabric flowers on the cover as well as some plastic greenery I had and some decorative fibers both on the cover and attached to the pull-out tags. I inked all the edges and used foam tape for added dimension on most of the pages<br /><br />My photos were all taken before we had a digital camera, so many of them are pretty awful , and I had to silhouette a lot of them because they were quick candid shots and often had very busy backgrounds, but I'm happy I was able to preserve the memories of our adorable little Buddy together in an album.<br /><br />The pages are like pockets which hold a pull-out tag, as shown here:<p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It's garden season here, so I ddecided to scrap a flower photo I had in my stash. Fireweed is a wildflower that's common in northern British Columbia where I used to live. When there's a whole field of it, these vibrant plants make it look like it's on fire, hence the name given it by the native people of the area.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeBuwmiB_BstQrmlae0GYu1I5Jk4LHFJwZUH4XsbHlmU6PIOCSny1RncPgXSCyyz2EPqF69G9RJ2L4ptZD_gZBhAyRPtDOfL7R3ssEQFo8KExnT2wXnVk1wseb_7dNyFVjg3BlALTqzynH/s3079/IMG_20210524_164200103%257E2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3004" data-original-width="3079" height="397" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgeBuwmiB_BstQrmlae0GYu1I5Jk4LHFJwZUH4XsbHlmU6PIOCSny1RncPgXSCyyz2EPqF69G9RJ2L4ptZD_gZBhAyRPtDOfL7R3ssEQFo8KExnT2wXnVk1wseb_7dNyFVjg3BlALTqzynH/w407-h397/IMG_20210524_164200103%257E2.jpg" width="407" /></a><br /><br />I treated myself to some lovely paper that I found on Amazon and found it was perfect to set off this photo. I loved the paper so much I didn't want to cover too much of it up (that's often a problem of mine!!) The rainbow was torn from another sheet and inked with a rich blue. I added stenciling with texture paste, used some Martha Stewart border punches randomly around the edges, and tore the remaining edges between the punching. Again these were inked in blue to further define the punched designs and tearing.<br /><br />The title letters were originally a deep maroon, so I painted them white before inking them in pink.I gathered random flowers from my stash in bright pink and fresh green to echo some of the shades in the papers. The diecuts are from a BoBunny collection and I thought the colours coordinated really well with my other embellishments.<br /><br />I hope you enjoyed seeing my page; I'm happy to have it as a keepsake of the lovely wildflowers from a province I lived in for several years; I wish you flowers and blue skies this season and always xx</div><br /><p></p>LynneJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13379144138118673524noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477657776731234022.post-14199994955313397632021-05-07T09:00:00.001-04:002021-05-07T09:00:00.210-04:00Breaking Even-an art journal page for Creative Artiste<p style="text-align: center;"> Hello there crafty friends-I love using song lyrics, poetry and quotes in my artwork, so when I recently heard Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler"again, some of the words jumped out at me and I incorporated them here.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ42tR1S3VJXfAGaPtUOLLIrnfUkUvzYl0VvSs49uNBi3DttYMNz4icDyOUcEQ3o-p96xLv67uaxnj2NFyxcOQTydvHUv8ew-_cqSPiuRS2XSDZJrppjAGkaBIFU3L9jcdG9_CjbHhjQG-/s3762/IMG_20210425_122529004_HDR%257E2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2851" data-original-width="3762" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ42tR1S3VJXfAGaPtUOLLIrnfUkUvzYl0VvSs49uNBi3DttYMNz4icDyOUcEQ3o-p96xLv67uaxnj2NFyxcOQTydvHUv8ew-_cqSPiuRS2XSDZJrppjAGkaBIFU3L9jcdG9_CjbHhjQG-/w640-h486/IMG_20210425_122529004_HDR%257E2.jpg" width="640" /></a><br /><br />I started by mod-podging some tissue paper onto my page, making sure to crinkle it up a bit here and there, and then painted it red when it was dry. I had this adorable deck of mini playing cards in my stash, and they were perfect for this project. I inked and distressed them along with the background and all the other paper used here. I had a bunch of random chipboard numbers, so I grabbed some of those and heat embossed them in gold, then rubbed them with the same ink. The pair of buttons are meant to represeent coins. the diamond pattern and rows of numbers were stenciled with black texture paste, but I kept it a little thin to create a less crisp edge than I usually try to achieve. The black swirls and red patterned circles were from papers in my scrap file ( I keep everything bigger than about 2" in a large accordian file)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipU6-Esln7P0gq2LgpGYWBUfUsB6efUdiYm1e4_C54gCY8Y6y4bcj-FcGnAUVq3JMEkFU3tVQEb-jZm87NXDr74ztHJ6JmHqGVo2_hTVdy9yHKiFqm7LtD82PMYhxut3QDKJXkVVempUQq/s4160/IMG_20210506_230216637%257E2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3120" data-original-width="4160" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipU6-Esln7P0gq2LgpGYWBUfUsB6efUdiYm1e4_C54gCY8Y6y4bcj-FcGnAUVq3JMEkFU3tVQEb-jZm87NXDr74ztHJ6JmHqGVo2_hTVdy9yHKiFqm7LtD82PMYhxut3QDKJXkVVempUQq/w355-h266/IMG_20210506_230216637%257E2.jpg" width="355" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuQc2WUqFhWwyGcPPiJRI1AY2YEuNT7vLia_oBXiROAWFYIVT0IPEODfIoIcHMDOBVldpmzNBzbxc9GMMgwqPr9VdaspWmqVzZgmtJqo6_zKQp4utTa15aPLlAwIQxBXArxa_mFyqGviKr/s3502/IMG_20210506_230227217%257E2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2623" data-original-width="3502" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuQc2WUqFhWwyGcPPiJRI1AY2YEuNT7vLia_oBXiROAWFYIVT0IPEODfIoIcHMDOBVldpmzNBzbxc9GMMgwqPr9VdaspWmqVzZgmtJqo6_zKQp4utTa15aPLlAwIQxBXArxa_mFyqGviKr/w400-h300/IMG_20210506_230227217%257E2.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I hadn't done any art journaling for a while and it was fun to get back to it; hope you enjoyed seeing my page, and I'd love to see things you've created using song lyrics!

After attaching the button collage, texture paste, lettering and embellishments, I used spray gesso on the whole project., then mixed light greyish-brown acrylic paints and layered paint onto the tomb and stone, with a slightly darker colour on the opening. Everything else was left white to be misted. I appproximated the areas with the colours by using yellow on the sun, blue <span style="text-align: left;">in the sky area and a touch of green near the bottom but wasn't going for a fully representational look and allowed the colours to overlap and blend here and there for a softer look. Finnabair wax in Peacock was used to accentuate the lettering.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by, and I pray you find Resurrection hope today and always! xx</span></div><p></p>LynneJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13379144138118673524noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477657776731234022.post-70168403333330469262021-03-05T09:00:00.001-05:002021-03-05T09:00:02.192-05:00Irish Blessing- a project for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog<p> Hello crafty friends!

The white flowers were lightly misted with green glimmmer mist. The background paper and the one I fussy cut the leaves from are both from Prima's Garden Fable collection.

I then attached my embellishments and stencilled with texture paste before adding another coat of the gesso. The chipboard frame is from Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts and the resin feathers are from Prima.<br /><br />When the gesso was dry, I added some turquoise, amethyst and gold mists, then rubbed Finnabair waxes in Peacock, Royal Robes and Rose Gold here and there, using them to emphasize detail in the embellishments and stencilling. Another layer of misting completed the process. This project came together quickly and was a pleasure to create; I hope the recipient will be pleased with it.<br /><br />I wish you a wonderful December and a lovely Christmas, and I hope the new year brings you all the best...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">xx Lynne</div><br /><p></p>LynneJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13379144138118673524noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477657776731234022.post-42627807088709086572020-11-15T09:00:00.018-05:002020-11-15T09:00:00.207-05:00Harvest-autumn decor for Bleeding Art<p> Hello there and hope you're enjoying the beauty of the fall season.

I then primed the entire piece with white gesso before adding mists in a variety of shades of yellow, peach, orange and burgundy. I then took rose gold metallique wax and rubbed some onto the edges of the chipboard elements and some of the flowers & buttons, keeping the effect subtle. This is a small thin canvas, so I attached a magnetic strip to the back for display on a fridge or other metal surface. I love adding lace to this type of project, as I think it looks so interesting when misted and adds an extra little touch of warmth.<br /><br />As always, our challenge at Creative Artists Mixed Media Challenge Blog is "anything goes"-as long as it's mixed media, you're welcome to enter it!!

The October Challenge at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog is on, and it's anything goes!!

I painted each side a light tan colour, then added pale green stenciling. The chipboard shapes, also from Gypsy Soul, were painted the same pale green (after some were dry embossed with my Cuttlebug) then added. A few "bubbles" were added here and there, some clear and some iridescent, and sprinklings of microbeads as well as a few tiny real seashells. When making a two-sided project like this, it's important to allow glue to dry before turning it over.<br /><br />I misted lightly with Tattered Angels Leap Frog, Money Bags and Maya Blue, then rubbed Finnabair Metallique waxes in Peacock and Lucky Emerald. Some silver alphabet stickers and a simple twine hanger finished the project off. Now all we need to do is teach the cats to read!! Just kidding....I think it'll be more about training hubby to remember lol!<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by, and I wish you a happy, healthy October....and I'd love to hear some of your destructive pet stories!! xx hugs, Lynne<p></p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnM2rhhNJXeuza5R6tgaMz2oGR8pjajrMibR3MOxlVFQ7OTnS4E3viDnEPbRmydu5wUP2itYZEta5j4sqHy5W8EP1L4aPt-mSbWJaWPNUUSjLy9RPLtuIQO5R1yL3okgDoBVZAArpD49gb/s797/IMG_20200927_123918302.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="797" data-original-width="476" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnM2rhhNJXeuza5R6tgaMz2oGR8pjajrMibR3MOxlVFQ7OTnS4E3viDnEPbRmydu5wUP2itYZEta5j4sqHy5W8EP1L4aPt-mSbWJaWPNUUSjLy9RPLtuIQO5R1yL3okgDoBVZAArpD49gb/w382-h640/IMG_20200927_123918302.jpg" width="382" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkehpxtYcFQmu4FnMRQ01SNPHSRegJa3wpIAVEolpp29fHb368WHC646lRCNBOtJ7KdMc2bRklNE8Pfut-2kQJlaG17xVb0VEGRvr2X1M2jBo3X0h3doL3oAWzMGe05WfQGhVNqWvyYzBk/s542/IMG_20200927_123904910.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="542" data-original-width="320" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkehpxtYcFQmu4FnMRQ01SNPHSRegJa3wpIAVEolpp29fHb368WHC646lRCNBOtJ7KdMc2bRklNE8Pfut-2kQJlaG17xVb0VEGRvr2X1M2jBo3X0h3doL3oAWzMGe05WfQGhVNqWvyYzBk/w378-h640/IMG_20200927_123904910.jpg" width="378" /></a></div><br /><p></p>LynneJhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13379144138118673524noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3477657776731234022.post-45749459272728233102020-09-04T09:00:00.001-04:002020-09-04T09:00:04.682-04:00"FLY" canvas for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge Blog<p> Hello there and happy September!

After adhering all the elements, I painted the surface in a pale teal blue, then spritzed Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists in Amethyst and Maya Blue.<br /><br />More definiteion was added to the title and other elements by rubbing with Art Alchemy Metallique Waxes in Peacock, Royal Robes and Old Silver.

I have stenciled with texture paste using a variety of stencil designs, randomly punched and distressed the edges of the paper and added a few years. I inked through punchinella here and there as well. In addition to the fussy cut flowers and foliage, I made the mauve flowers and added some paper flowers from my stash as well as the soft green cloth leaves.</div>

Hello friends! I'm thrilled to be a part of this awesome blog hop-there are some truly amazing artists and projects along the way! I knew when I learned of the steampunk theme that I wanted to do something 3D, and I've been on a bit of a "time" theme kick lately, so what better than a steampunk "time machine" in a gypsy wagon?!?<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The wagon itself is a chipboard kit from Gypsy Soul Lasercuts-a really awesome 3D piece to work with!<br />
I had some cool Graphic 45 papers to use as backgrounds and fussy cut interesting elements out of, and some Gypsy Soul Lasercuts chipboard gears and other goodies. The roof is patterned felt which I painted black.<br />

<br />
I used Finnabair Metallique wax in Rich Copper on most of the pieces after priming them with gold acrylic paint, then rubbed black ink here and there to grunge them up a bit.<br />

Hello friends! Hope you're all well and have getting some creative time. I have a part-time job at a golf course and we just reopened last week; one of the office staff surprised me by sporting a pretty substantial baby bump! Turns out she's just trying to get a few things organized before her maternity leave, so I was glad of the chance to see her. I decided to put together a mini album as a cute little gift.</div>

I added some buttons, pearls, ribbons and lace along with some texture paste stencilling. The pages are all made to hold a 2x3" photo, which can be gotten by collaging 4 photos onto a 4x6" template, which is how I usually print mine out at the local photo kiosk.<br />There is a fair bit of fussy cutting here, as well as some coordinating stickers and diecuts which were included in the paper pack; I mounted many of these pieces with foam tape for added dimension.</div>

Hello there crafters! I can't believe May is here already; April was a busy month for me and seemed to fly by. I really wanted to start doing more layouts again, and decided to create a masculine layout for my "Silver Screen" album, which contains pages about favourite classic actors and movies, and this guy is my very favourite actor from the 40s/50s.<br /></div>

A variety of buttons from my stash were added, as well as a few items cut from the Graphic 45 A Proper Gentleman collection. The corrugate behind the photo was simply painted grey and lightly rubbed with ink.<br /><br />It was fun to get my grunge on with this page; I like the contrast between the grungy background and the more formal photo-it's a bit of a metaphor for the versatile actor that James Stewart was.<br /><br />Thanks so much for stopping by-hope you enjoyed seeing my page. Happy May! Stay safe and find time to be creative when you can....hugs! xx</div>

Hi there arty friends! LynneJ here with my first DT post for Bleeding Art, and I wanted to do something unusual and a little quirky:</div>
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVwy-u0sKQq__nyWuazUbEmvCgzbSleO-xxAy6y_WvYluXP9YcqObS0mrGYJP0IOFgrblV8DWHqu3JG2oroejtls1ZMFI78TMC6hmNad1WAOAViMmj0CDjSnJ5hEcWlOS6UdHv27PGbUn0/s1600/hands1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="948" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVwy-u0sKQq__nyWuazUbEmvCgzbSleO-xxAy6y_WvYluXP9YcqObS0mrGYJP0IOFgrblV8DWHqu3JG2oroejtls1ZMFI78TMC6hmNad1WAOAViMmj0CDjSnJ5hEcWlOS6UdHv27PGbUn0/s640/hands1.jpg" width="377" /></a><br />
<br />
The chipboard grandfather clock is a 3D kit from Gypsy Soul Lasercuts, and I had so much fun creating this. I used dark grey wodgrain paper to cover the body of the clock, using the gear-patterned paper for the pull-out drawer and the inside back. I added a few black rubons to the sides of the piece, added some Stone Effects spray paint very lightly here and there<br />

The cool-looking piece on the face of the clock is from a real timepiece! My friend gave me some of the watch and clock parts she had gotten from her father-in-law, who was a retired clockmaker.I just rubbed a little Finnabair Metallique wax in Rich Copper onto the surface as well as onto my metal and chipboard gears and the clock hands to make them coordinate with the gear paper.<br />
<br />

<br />
The phrase, "if the hands of time were hands that I could hold..." is a lyric from the theme song of the 70s movie "Brian's Song" and I have always loved this line and have been wanting to use it on a project for a long time-so glad I finally found the right one! I cut the hands from a photo I had from a kids' class I taught years ago.The lyrics are stickers attached to strips of vellum and twisted a bit for interest.I had recently watched a story with an angel character in it who was losing feathers from his wings, and that inspired me to add the feathers in the lower opening.<br />

I used some of my beloved Gypsy Soul Lasercuts chipboard kitties, a few diecuts, paper flowers and bits & pieces from my stash, added stenciling with homemade texture paste, gessoed the whole thing then added Tattered Angels glimmer mists. Hope you like the finished effect! May you all stay safe and healthy in these complicated times, and spend some of your extra home time creating something interesting and beautiful! hugs!</div>

Hello friends! My daughter picked up a couple cute wooden cutting boards at Dollarama and asked me if I thought I could use them for some sort of project, and I was definitely intrigued by the thought; it's always interesting to find new backgrounds for my assemblage creations!<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh78LFHb7RAiOfxsD-lKpZQHJSaFsRTfipLQc8wZ67FiDYDOaC-Rt1j8FWHFHH8a7WB4CRLHD6_SVMEnrc6Ls58qlvXwm0BxQb98n_J6vWOtlsp6f9Dtl8bMgKv-9u55F3hdNRlPoVistEY/s1600/home.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="586" data-original-width="384" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh78LFHb7RAiOfxsD-lKpZQHJSaFsRTfipLQc8wZ67FiDYDOaC-Rt1j8FWHFHH8a7WB4CRLHD6_SVMEnrc6Ls58qlvXwm0BxQb98n_J6vWOtlsp6f9Dtl8bMgKv-9u55F3hdNRlPoVistEY/s640/home.jpg" width="418" /></a><br /><br />Because I didn't want to colour the entire piece, I glued my arrangement onto a piece of thin cardboard rather than directly onto the board. I then painted that with tan acrylic paint before adding mists in shades of teal, green, yellow and gold. (I also used these steps on the letters and hexagons so they would coordinate) then rubbed Art Alchemy metallique waxed in Lucky Emerald and Polished Brass over some of the surfaces.<br /><br />I used DecoArte moss paste here and there along the edges, then rubbed with the same waxes. A little gold thread wrapped diagonally and an ornate leaf chippie from my stash completed the look.<br /><br />I love to use dollar store items or thrift store finds as bases for my creations; I see them as a fun challenge, and I hope you enjoy seeing them.Thanks so much for stopping by and I wish you a wonderful March!!</div>
