Queen of Hearts

Hello friends, today I have a little journal entry to share with you

I loved playing about with some of the new AcriTonez and other goodies. Here is a list of what I used:

Acri Tonez:Peas Be Mine and Blue My Top, Three Sheets to the Wind

Paste-Eez The Cream Team

Coloringz My Bleeding Heart

Vibez Quit Yer Wine-n and Don't Rain on my Parade

Of course all of these are available from the STORE

I had fun creating my background by putting down some crackle paint and when that had dried playing around with my chosen paints, some stencils and stamps. I also added some strips of vintage book paper.

One side was run through an embossing folder and I also added some splatters with diluted gesso.

The little die cut heart was given dimension first with the Paste- Eez and then coloured with the My Bleeding Heart Coloringz mixed with some Quit Yer Wine-n Vibez.

Some grunged up flowers, recycled from another project

A vintage image and a computer generated sentiment finished it all off.

Well, that's it for now  and don't forget the best bit....

Thank you for your visit like always!

Hello lovely Shimmerz friends, it's Astrid here today sharing a little project with you.

I have a friend who is going through a hard time, so this is a little gift for her.
These are the products I used:

Past- Eez: Tree Hugger

AcriTonez: Peas be Mine

Coloringz: Don't Be Suede

Schimmeringz: Concrete

Vibez: Don't Rain on My Parade

All available in the Store of course

I started with the frame. On a bit of mount board I dabbed some of the Paste_Eez with my finger to created texture. While still wet I dropped in some Ancient Silver embossing powder and some little artstones and then dried with my heat gun.

Next I went to work with my chosen sprays until it looked like this:

Sadly the photo does not show how the bright turquoise paste turns into a beautiful patina with the help of the sprays..

For the inside panel I took a piece of scrapbook paper, covered it with clear gesso and when that had dried some clear crackle glaze. Once the cracks had appeared I scraped on a thin layer of the Acritonez paint just here and there with a little palette knife and then added some of the same spray lightly around the edges, dabbing any excess with some kitchen roll.

I matted the central panel on some white card for contrast, adhered it to the background and that was pretty much it.

Thanks for your visit and  if you order something from the store, just mention my name in your order and you will get a free gift, - how cool is that?
