Mixed-media Monday

After taking Anna's (Finnabair) class in Ireland I just had to dive in and make my own mixed-media canvas.

I used some of my leftover pieces from her classes and added a bits from my own stash.

There weather has been so nice her for the last couple of days that I went with a summery feel when I made this piece.

Just love how the happy colors of the mists - the mica flakes and micro beads add so much to the canvas.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Teal and yellow

These colors go so well together - they always make me think of sunny days and lemonade! :)

I used the #117 sketch from Cardabilites as the inspiration piece for may card and I just went from there. 

Just love creating a card from a sketch - makes me wanna try new things and step outside my comfort zone!

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!

Colorful Thursday

I do love colors and when it comes to my hair I am not afraid of trying different kind of colors.

So when I got my hair done last month I just had to create a layout to capture my mad-hair-color addiction!

So I decided to go a bit mixed media and used some yummy products from Lindy's, Heidi Swapp, 13Arts, My Minds Eye, Studio Calico and Prima to make this layout a true color-fest!

My beloved Cameo got some much needed cut-action too!

I just love how this layout turned out!

Have a colorful day all! :)

Snow Queen Piper

I ma so loving this glam version of Piper - and this Snow Queen Piper sure steals the show!

I admit I was humming the Frozen song while coloring this pretty girlie and that did  influence my soft color choice and that ohh so needed sparkle.

I just love how these 13Arts papers match this stamp so well and of course I had to add a bit of misting and more sparkle to make it fit for a queen!

Copic colors:

Skin E000/00/11 R20

Hair E13/15/19

Eyes BG10/11/13

Clothes V91/93/95 C0/1/3 YR00/01/02 W2/3/4

Playing with paper, mists and flowers

I still have lots of 13 Arts papers and other goodies from my guest designer spot and I just love using those pretties.

The papers are beautiful and I just love the texture paste and gesso.

I used some of those goodies on this canvas along with some Prima flowers, trims, Wild Orchid Crafts flowers, Heidi Swapp Color Shine, glitter and Crafter's Workshop stencils.

The mixed-media crafting is one of my fave new crafty discoveries.

Have a grand day all! :)

Saturday card share

Hi all - I wanted to share this quick mixed media card I made the other day using some yummy Cocoa Daisy papers, gesso, twine, 13Arts flowers, gems, mists and more.

I decided to challenge myself to create a card by only using supplies I found on my desk or only had to reach for. Basically I had to use whatever I could reach without standing up to get it.

This was kinda fun and got my creative juices flowing.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!
