2017 Diary

Welcome again to another month. 
February is here and I am first up on the Memory Maze
blog. I bought myself a boring black diary for this year with the intentions of decorating it.
Turning it into something beautiful



Firstly I painted around the edges of my diary with some white gesso.
I had to give it two coats to cover the black.


I had some scraps from a Kaisercraft range left sitting on my desk. 
I covered the back, front and spine with the paper using matt medium as 
I knoew I wanted to use media on the front.
Then I took some more scraps and collectables from the same range
and placed them on top of each other
until I was happy with them. Stick these down as well then I curled the edges.
I used some light molding paste and a circle mask
Placing this all over the front of the book. 
I sprayed the three colours letting them dry between coats.
I stamped the background using archival black ink and a script stamp also went around the sides 


I painted my chipboard with white gesso and then used embossing powder
to emboss them.

Mixed Media Altered Frame - Off the Rails DT

Image
Hello Candy here again. I thought I would do an Off the page project for you all today. I bought this frame a while ago and had it in my stash. Firstly I painted the frame with black gesso and when it is dry cover with some Golden fiber paste on the sides and front of the frame, and the heart. I have used some chipboard pieces from one of our sponsors Memory Maze and painted them with white gesso. I roughly daubed with some liquid pearls, the rougher the better as we want some texture. Dry with a heat gun holding close as you want it to bubble. I then used Lindy's - Blue Hawiian blue, Glimmermist afraid of the dark and sei tumble dry green sprays. I used a small paint brush and daubed here and there. Dry between the colours or you will make mud.  On the heart I sprayed the Lindy's blue hawiian spray and when dry covered with glue and apply some midnight blue glass glitter. I also sprayed the colours around the inside and outside of the frame...

Hi everyone I am back from a little break and ready to ctreate again. Today I have made a lovely little girls card. Using a fancy scroll and a word phrase. I have started with a 5 1/4 x 5 1/4 inch card base. I cut the first pattern paper layer at 51/4x51/4 inches. The second is cut from white glitter paper  and it is cut at 5 x 5 inches. The third is using another pattern paper and cut that one at  4 3/4 x 4 3/4 inches Distress around the edges of all three then tape the first two onto the card base. The third pattern paper curl the right top corner use a little glue to hold this in place. Then tape onto the card using foam tape. I have matted my photo and put foam tape underneath to raise it up. Now for the corner swirl and the word phrase all I did was give them a couple of coats of white ink.  When dry glue onto your card. Add a little piece of lace under the corner roll and then add some flowers to finish off. Mmeor...
