November is a very hard month for me to bear. It is too dull, too dark, too rainy, too cold in my part of the world. So I am struggling with this awful mood and here is my bright projects but still under November's influence for you.
The first one is called
Mother & Daughter
Yes, you are right , I love to use our photos in my projects
I decided to maintain the color palette used in Prima's papers and flowers, so I have a delightful pleasure to be warmed with this turquoise blue and peach shadows. But I wanted to add some shabby colors too, so I kept the white accents on the chipboard.
I used the title Mother & Daughter
I covered it with white Crackle Paint, then dabbed with acrylic paint in blue, turquoise and guava. I used a sponge to make some random spots. Then I mounted some flowers on it, just wrapping them over the alphas.
The same technique I used on a
Bunch of roses
I just added flowers to it, to add more texture to create a bouquet.
Also I tried to keep a more visible crackle effect on
ATC Georgian Frame
and just added the ink on the edges.
I used it as a padding for the resin embellishment
I kept the blue colors on the Birdcage 1 too.
I primed it with Gesso, then misted with Lindy's Staburst mist for some shimmering and then sprayed with Dyllusions ink. and you can see this 2-tone result on the chipboard cage.
For my second layout I used autumn colors.
I have started randomly gessoing the chipboard. Then I added some acrylic paint with a sponge and a metallic acrylic paint with my brush
Birds on a Wire,
I cut them and the other part I have already used on the other project
Penny Farthing
I placed a big flower on it, which was gessoed too
I wanted to add some rusty look on Old Fence, so I painted it roughly with a dry brush and
the edges on the Miniature tree were inked with the chalk ink
I used the same techniques on
Grass Clumps
Finally my last Layout. I was thinking which one to share with you,
and decided to finish with some winter colors. Next time I think I will have something Christmas, so please stay tuned to see my Christmas projects.
but this time I want to show one of my favorite that I made for Manor House Creations.
It is a photo of me with my son. I love the tenderness of baby's skin.
All of you who are mothers know this adorable feeling of care and the smell of nativity.
That is why I choose the title
Timeless Moments to Remember
I primed this piece with gesso, then applied texture paste and dabbed in blue acrylic paint .
Next I took some Shimmerz and with a thin brush painted some stripes.
The technique used on the Summer Leaf Stem is very simple.
I primed it with Gesso too and dabbed it with a sponge in light blue acrylic paint.
I hope you have enjoyed my projects and if you want to find more inspiration
