I actually learn the tutorial from this video.

And here is my card, hope you like it.

The stamp i used is from Unity Stamp Perfect in every way KOM 06/09.

Hi, happy Friday to your! 

Today, I wanna share with your my new card for my hubby birthday. 

To create this card, i'm using Darice Emboss folder, 3 Distress Ink: Peacock Feather, Walnut Stain and Mustard Seed.

As for the sentiment, I'm using Unity Hashtag kit stamp, the kit is really fun to use as it's contain more than 20 sentiments!

For the embellishment, i actually steal some screw from my hubby tool box, and apply the Gesso on it before i can add color the screw.

FWF - May PEACE be with you

Hi friends, it's Friday today, and i'm so excited to share with your my tag for my "angel". :)

In order to create the background, i'm playing along with these 2 color Distress Paint. I have learn the technique from this video.

An this is how it looks like after drying.

To create the motive background, i'm stamping the image with emboss effect from Warm wishes Kit. 

Then, I colored the Arianna girl with Fine Color Marker and decorate the tag with some Prima Flowers and metal Charms.

To make the Arianna Girl look special, i added some Stickles on the dress, and i do like the outcome of the "blink" effect on her dress.

That's all for today post, happy weekend!

First discover with Mixed Media Canvas (back in March 14)

Well, this is my first discover with Mixed Media Canvas with Nathalie Kbach back in March 14,and she just awesome and fun! You may check out her profile by clicking the link above.

To give a better understand of Mixed Media, i just go wiki and get the summary as below:

Mixed media, in visual art, refers to an artwork in the making of which more than one medium has been employed.

Mixed media tends to refer to a work of visual art that combines various traditionally distinct visual art media. For example, a work on canvas that combines paint, ink, and collage could properly be called a "mixed media" work.

When creating a painted or photographed work using mixed media it is important to choose the layers carefully and allow enough drying time between the layers to ensure the final work will have structural integrity. If many different media are used it is equally important to choose a sturdy foundation upon which the different layers are imposed.

Now, here is my first Mixed Media Canvas! I just list down what I've used to create this art work.

• 12" x 12" Canvas
• Tissue Papers
• Wrapping papers
• Old news papers
• Patterns papers
• Lace
• Burlap
• Golden Regular Gel (Matte)
• Gesso
• Golden High Flow Acrylic Paint
• Stencil

Below Canvas is my own project after the class, and the material i used is almost the same as above. The different is i'm using the normal Acrylic Paint instead of the Fluid High Flow Acrylic Paint. Notice that the color will be solid and the layer actually can't really see through compare with the previous artwork.

For the image, I'm using Let-love-fly Stamp from Unity, and this image touch my heart when i first saw from Unity page. Then i added some Prima Flower and the butterfly from Webster Pages.

For more ideas and understanding about mixed media, you may check these video from you tube:

I just love the Mixed Media Project, guess will have more project comes up, stay tune!

Scrapbook pages and Layout

As I'm thinking what to post from all my art work, then i decided to post some scrapbook pages/ layout that I've done. I'm not really into layout art work, just a few pieces to show as below.

This is the first ever scrapbook layout that I've created. I'm using some papers and flowers that i have(which very limited) to create this layout. I still remember that it is where i just started my scrapping life few weeks only, and i decided to do my very first layout pages for me and my hubby wedding photo. :)

This is my second layout done for a friend of mine, who is getting married on 16 Sept 2013. I just get some layout idea from website and decided to do this as a wedding gift for her and her hubby, I've add the bird cage and some Prima Flowers on the layout.

This is my third layout done. This is not a 12 x 12 scrapbook pages, instead, this is a 6 x 5 canvas pages. I've get the idea from her: Gabrielle Pollacco, I just love all her projects and she is so amazing! This is the first time i'm hands on Gesso and stencil, and the feeling is awesome. 

For the background, i'm using a green color and yellow color mini stamp pad to create the color effect. Then, I used the sentiment from Unity Stamp, Everything love, the word just so pretty and match the picture.

In case you want to have a look, I've share her video as below for your reference.

Video Tutorial - 'Laugh' Step by Step

This is my latest layout for another friend of my whom just married in Mar 14. I just used a lot of Prima Flower and all the embellishment  from Prima is so pretty! I couldn't express by words how pretty it is for all the Prima items. I'm so bless that i manage to buy Prima's Warehouse Sales Box last Dec, and i'm actually hopping to buy it again by this year end. :)

 For the couple, i actually have done another card for them, picture as below... ;)

Wish them Happy Married and happy ever after!

Cards for others

After few cards trying, I'm interest on using the distress stain to create some background effect. I have learn some technic from this YouTube video, you may check this out. 

 With the technic I've learn, I've create this card, for my new colleague with Everything Wonderful Sentiment Kit and Insightful Meadows kit from Unity stamp.

With this Wonderful sentiments, do hope that she will feel wonderful in everything.

In the mid of June, one of my colleague is celebrating her birthday, with the stamp I have, I've created this card using More Blessed to Give by Phyllis Harris from Unity Stamp. I just love this kit with the sentiment- It's more blessed to give than to receive! 

Well, I just can't help to fall in love to do cards for my friends... I addicted to read articles from others about create cards, and I start to get inspirations from Pinterest and blogger for ideas. I have created cards for my girls, using different stamps from Unity Stamp. 

After these, I have try with my first mini album for a baby full moon. It's not as easy as I thought, and I've spend weeks to finish it.

That's all for current post, will introduce the new machine in coming post!
