Chase your dreams - Layout for 49 and Market

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on 49 and Market blog with a vintage layout featuring the Krafty Garden collection. 

Making a beautiful layout in no time with the 49 and Market collections is really simple. Each collection has a lot of assorted elements such as ephemera, laser cut, rub-on transfers, ...  that go perfectly together.

For my background, I chose the Swallowtail Spectacle which is perfect for my chosen photo (from ArtHouseWhimsy). 

I selected some Ephemera Bits as the base for the composition and a few Stacked Frames. 

I added some Laser cut Elements and a square frame from the Acetate Assortment Set which I cut in two pieces. I added them to the two bottom corners. 

I selected some Wildflowers Laser Cut as well that I added in between all the layers of papers and ephemera of the composition. 

To finish, I added some rub-on transfer in the background.

Elsie - Mixed media canvas for Dusty Attic DT

Hello Sweeties,

Today I'm up on Dusty Attic blog with a new canvas. 

I primed the canvas with white gesso. When dry, I started to add several layers of paint with the help of a brayer. I also added a design with the Postcard Stencil. When happy with the result, I added some Clear Crackle Paste to the corners and borders.

I covered the Mystic Frame #1 with Gloden Metallic Flakes.

I primed the Spider Chrysanthemum, Flower Stamens, and Foliage #4 with White Gesso. Then I painted them with Ochre Liquid Acrylic paint and added Vintage Photo Distress ink to the edges. 

I added a few flowers to the composition, which I also distressed with Vintage Photo. 

To finish, I added glitter.
