'Never Stop Believing' - by Emma Zappone

Hi there 2Crafty friends.
Em with you today with a small Mixed Media panel.

Here are the awesome chipboard elements used.....

Pretty Flowers
Mollies Butterfly Set
Foliage Set 7

I painted all the chipboard pieces with some Color Glow powders, that left a beautiful shimmer to them.

Look at all that awesome shimmer!

I love the way these powders sit on the chipboard. These I chose not to prime first, so that the water that mixes with the powder, soaks into the chippy a little and mutes the colour but leaves all the shimmer.

I love the calmness this panel creates.

I hope you have been inspired a little today.

I hope to catch you all again soon.

Till then, Em xx

 

'Bessie' - by Emma Zappone

Hello 2Crafty friends!
Today I would like you to meet 'Bessie', a stunning 1920's French Cabaret performer.
Life hasn't been easy for Bessie, the stage has come at a cost.
But with all she may have lost, her passion and love of performing out ways the sadness she has felt.
Please put your hands together for 'Bessie'.....

Let's also focus on a few other star performers featured on this page....

ATC - Mini Scissors
Rose Set 1
Lattice Leaf Set
Messy Squares

For this page I wanted to go dark, a little smoky and create a vibe that reflected the image. 
So I painted all the chipboard with black Gesso. 

The Messy Square also had a light paint of Prussian Blue to set it off from the black. The lighting in the photo doesn't quite pick it up. Once dry I added a clear emboss powder to add a little more drama to the chippy. And the little pair of scissors were painted black with a blue wax to finish them off.

The lattice leaves are also in black with a Clear emboss.
I just love how these black elements set apart the layers.

The stunning Rose chippy was treated the same way as the Square, with that slight hint of blue shining through the embossing. 

Bessie and I would like to thank you for stopping by and for all your continued support.
We hope we have inspired you a little.

Stay crafty, Em xx
