PRIMA PRETTINESS - SEPTEMBER BAP

Hi everyone!! Today I just wanted to quickly share with you my take take on this months BAP challenge over at Prima.

Here is this months Sketch:

And here is my take on it.....

"Love You Girls'

For the background I have used a combination of Prima Mica Powders and Color Bloom Sprays, sometimes mixing them to get different shades. I have also added some small touches of Mist from 13 arts and Twinkling H20 watercolors. Other than these and the acetate swirls, everything else I have used is from Prima!!

Some Details:

I have added sprays and flicks of mists and watercolors to my flowers, using mostly the same colors that I used in the background, and adding a few extras here and there.

I have added some older Prima Word Stickers to the Heart on the skewer stick to form the beginning of my title.

I have layered various Shabby Chic metals, Resins, Flowers and Vines together to create my main cluster..... Don't you just love this Birdcage!!!

I have broken one of my resin frames in half, slightly off center, placing the larger half at the top of the page, and the smaller half at the bottom.

For the girls part of the title I have cut a thin strip of acetate and placed the canvas alphas onto it. It was then easy for me to place the title above the resin frame without trying to get each individual sticker to sit in the correct spot.

That's all from me today!! I am off to have some creative time before tea!!!

I hope you liked my layout!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Hugs!

Hello to all my wonderful blog readers!!! I am back again today to share with you a canvas I made using lots of amazing Dusty Attic products!!

'Blessed'

I have decided to go for a color combination of Browns and Yellow's this time, inspired by the fact that its not a color I use very often and I have a whole heap of embellishments and paints in these colors that almost never get used. 

For the background I have mixed some Dusty Attic modelling paste with 13 Arts MAGIC! Powder then spread it onto my background through the New Brick Wall Stencil. When it was dry I watered down various Dusty Attic Paints in Browns and Yellows and proceeded to paint my background, mixing and blending the paints to achieve my desired color gradients. When it dried I brushed a glaze of the Vintage Gold over the top.

Some details:

For my title I have cut the # off the hashtag Sayings word 'Blessed'. I have then painted it with watered down Dusty Paint in Soot, before brushing 13 Arts Gold Glitter Paint over the top. 

The leaves from Leaves #2 have been given the same treatment.

From the set of Polaroid Frames I have taken both a large and medium sized Frame. I have then proceeded to cover them in Washi Tapes. The larger Frame has been covered in a brownish/grey tape that has butterflies on it, whilst the second has been covered in a Brownish Tape that has writing on it (I have used the same tape at the top and the bottom of the canvas).

Taking one of the Frames from ATC Frames #3, I have painted in with an extremely thick layer of Dusty Attic paint in Hot Chocolate. I have then dried it very closely with my heat gun, which caused the paint to bubble up. Usually when I dry thick coats of paint with my gun it tends to cause larger bubbles in the paint but to my delight this time the bubbles were all quite small, leaving a fabulous texture in the paint!!!

Here you can see the gorgeous texture from the Brick Wall Stencil and Modelling Paste.

The leaves from foliage #4 have been covered with 13 Arts SPLASH! Ink in White, then Gold Glitter paint.

That is all I have to share with you today. I hope you have enjoyed my post and found something here to inspire you!!
