Great news & 10x10 Canvas

Hello hello!

I have great news to share: I've created a card and now it's up on this Swedish blog. You can click on the link to see it: Swe Scrapbook blog. Yay!! :)

A few months ago I created this mini canvas in purple and black. I made this as an anniversiry gift for my bf.

Lots of gesso and modelling paste along with glimmer mist and Distress ink. 

I put down the date we became "official" and our first names initials.

Stop & smell the flowers

Hey there!

Firstly, I'm gonna stop saving my blog photos in PNG and go back to JPG. Read somewhere that PNG's would be smaller and be faster to upload to my blog or Facebook. I've only noticed the opposite.

Secondly, I have another layout with Washi Tape to show. It's called "Stop & smell the flowers".

I've used some Prima flowers and some other flowers along with burlap, chipboards (painted with a mix of gold and black), buttons. 

For the background I've used 3 different washi tapes and painted with gold acrylic paint. Here and there you can see gold damask rub-ons and left over pieces.

"The Sweet & Wonderful Life" & "Summer Trip" layouts

Hello!

Tonight I'm showing this:

First up is layout/mixed media art, but not the normal 12"x12" but smaller. I actually don't know the the size. Anyway, I've used black distressed ink from Tim Holtz and then embossed it with orange powder. The stamps are from different manufacturers. This came together with inspiration from Nicole Nowosad at the Jillibean Soup design team.

I've painted with water colors and used some leftover scraps for the arrows. I hand sewed around the whole page. This whole thing was just a playful test, but I'm quite happy with the result. 

Here's another mixed media-layout about a trip I made to France with my boyfriend, now ex-boyfriend. We saw sunflower fields all along the road. I used last years fall-collection from BoBunny, Forever Fall. But the background paper is from Basic Grey. 

I stamped a lot and sprayed with glimmer mists and a stencil from Prima with modeling paste. 

The journaling is hidden behind the blue paper, with some string and a brad I created something to pull it up with. The big sunflower is fussy cut and you can see the stamping and paint behind it.

Thanks for stopping by! :)
