Hello dear crafty friends,

Today it's my turn on Altair Art blog, and I'm sharing a soft and delicate mini album for a baby girl.

I've made this mini album from scratch. It measures 6.5"x6.5", has 6 pages and many flaps and pockets. It can hold more than 30 photos, and there're lots of tags for journaling.

On the front cover, there's a place to put in a photo, framed by the chipboard, which I heat embossed with Lindy's Gang embossing powders (Oom Pah Pah Pink, Orange Creamsicle and Desert Moon Turquoise).

I mainly used the Ever Dream collection, plus some papers from the Flower Harmony collection.

Happiness is not a destination, it's a way of life - a canvas for 13@rts

Winner at Scrap & Craft

May 2018 challenge

Happy Saturday dear crafty friends!

Today at 13@rts blog, I'm sharing my last project as a Guest Designer.

I've used my May Counterfeit kit for this canvas.

After I've finished the layout, I decided to place it on a canvas, to hang on the wall at my work, as a constant reminder of all the goods in my life, and how grateful I'm for them.

I started by priming the patterned paper with clear gesso. Then I used white gesso over a stencil. The next stage was adding the colors, all dilutted with water, to get the soft pastel look.

On top of the turqouise colors, I addes splashes of brown and gold, and when dried, I stamped around with verious stamps.

I matted the photo on another patterned paper, and backed it on a chipboard to get some dimension. I also adhered the inspiration phrase sticker on the photo.

I adhered the chipboards and the flowers using gell medium. For the final touch, I splatter again with gold and brown mists.

I took a canvas, just a little bigger than the patterned paper, and colored the edges with  pastel turqouise mist, diluted with water. I distressed the edges, both of the pattenred paper and the canvas, with some distress ink, and adhered the patterned paper on the canvas. 

13@rts products that I've used:

Patterned papers:

Alice in Candyland - Destination unknown

Until Dawn - Cold day

Gesso clear

Gesso white

Gel medium

stencil - Berries

Paints: 

Color glow Emerald

Splash! white ink

Mists:

Pearl olive green

Pastel turqouise

Pearl gold

Pearl brown light

Chalk turqoise

Here are close-ups on the details:

I've used Scrapiniec chipboards, Kaisercraft stamps, Lindy's Gang embossing powders, I am Roses flowers and TH distress ink.

I would like to enter it to the following challenges:

Art Playground - May chllenge 'all about the center'. my main element is the photo, so I've placed in in the center of the design, and adhered the inspiration phrase on the photo itself. I also placed the flower clusters to the photo to draw the attention toward it.

Scrap and Craft - use 3 chipboards. I have the title and bordsrs on both sides of the photo (park avenue borders 01 and borders 05)

Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo - blue sky. I was inspired by the sky and by the turqouise colors.
