DT Scraps of Darkness - Mixed Media Gift idea

Welcome!

Kerstin here and a new project for our Scraps of Darkness Kit 'Boys will be Boys'. 
I was inspired from the wonderful Journaling cards Misc Me and the transparent stickers
by Bo Bunny,
in the Main Kit
perfectly for a new little friendship gift.
 The denim blue star tags and buttons from the Element Add On kit
were also suitable for this mixed media canvas with a lot of favourite quotes.
You are smarter, braver and stronger
than you ....
 
I used varios spray mist's, also golden metalic paint for the background,
and made some blue highlights with Tim Holtz Salty Distress ocean crayon
 and a blue glitter paint
because 

On the floor of the facts is clearly too little glitter :-) 
and some close up's for you





 

Many thanks for your visit!
Have a nice day!

DT Scraps of Darkness - Never give up

Welcome!
You are braver than you believe, 
the right saying for this little sweet boy
 on his way to discover the world for himself.
 I was inspired from this journaling cards from Bo Bunny, 
which were in the March Main Kit 
'Boys will be Boys'


I used a background paper from the Chesterville Collection (Blue Fern Studios), 
wow, a great mixed media mix on this paper with burlap, film stripes, stains,
 corrugated cardboard, gorgeous, 
I love this collection! 
You can use so many various materials suitable to this background.

I have choosen some gears from the January Main Kit, 
a flower from the March Elements Kit On 
which I have divided into several parts,
the Splatter Arrows 
 colored with a little bit embossing powder and black acrylic paint,
 the black sequins, the 'Collage des Ronds'  stamp here and there 
and some clear stickers from Bo Bunny
stars, safety pin, signs and more



some blue highlights made with Tim Holtz Salty Distress ocean crayon

Enjoy your time

Welcome!

today a new layout inspiration with beautiful chipboards from Scrap FX, but I also love this wonderful black silhouettes, very filigree and always a good contrast
in your background. 
You can leave them black but also paint with acrylic or glimmer paint.

A beautiful layout for a girl as memory to 4th birthday.
So I have created a cheerful and bright layout
 with a stencil for background, some pastell paints, stamps,flowers
and punched butterflies.

I was inspired from the happy moodboard this month
 delicate spring colors and funny girlies in sunshine

Scraps of Darkness - Boys will be Boys

Welcome!
In the Main Kit you can find the Chesterville collection from Blue Fern Studio.
 I Think this backgrounds are perfect for a masculine mixed media project.
 The denim blue star tags and buttons from the Element Add On kit
were so very suitable for an old vintage photo with a little car mechanics.
Boys and automobiles  - a great passion.


I added with white gesso and stencils 
some stars and a big black stain in the lower right corner.




some details

packaging material from the denim blue metal buttons 
looks like original denim or? and so I used this also as a layer behind the photo


a little bit embossing powder only in some places and 
some highlights with golden metallic wax 
and the chipboards have an altered look


the wonderful denim star tag together with some 
fabric leftovers and a little car embellishment under the button


I have split the arrow chipboard in two pieces 
now it looks like a number One 


Many thanks for your visit!
Happy crafting!

Springtime Feelings with CCB

Welcome!

I was inspired from the beautiful color blue
 and from the light and floating feathers
on Canvas Corp Brands Moodboard

FEATHERS
our new challenge theme
 
 It's springtime here,
we can smell the fresh air in sunshine, relaxing, gardening, or walk through the nature. 
But it's also fun to work and create with fresh and bright colors.
The ATC size is my new passion in moment, I love it to combine old vintage photo cut out's 
with some splatters and stains
 from various Glimmer-, Baseboard Mist or High Impact colors in Mixed Media style.





I used the theme 'Feathers' with two stamps + white embossing powder 
and some real down feathers.





Have fun in the sun :-)
and take your chance!
Use Feathers as your inspiration when you create. 
You can also incorporate items or colors from the moodboard. 
Create, decorate, sew, knit or paint – release your imagination and be creative!
