Denise Presents How To Tame a Beast By Charity Dauenhauer

Today I'm making a Mixed Media collage using 3 images
'How To Tame A Beast by Charity Dauenhauer'
'Dragon Luck by Lisa Victoria'
'Come Play With Me by Gabriella Szabo'
Buy some wooden letters from your hobby store and Glue glue glue!
Use modgepodge matt and some metal glue
This is how it looks glued


Then add Gesso when the other dries overnight. Gesso is a primer for painting.

I colored with glimmermist and colorshine, I did not spray it, I used a brush and it's good when it pools, dry it a little with your embossing heat gun. (It will take several coats)

Remember ALL THIS IS JUNK so save your junk! LOL! The electrical switch plates are for my digis so I know to keep it flat and your done, JUST KIDDING!

I added my digis after I made the collage so I wouldn't get anything on them
I made sure I laminated my digis because it makes them more durable


I was asked to refrain from adding butterflies and flowers (I put them on everything! LOL! So dragonflies and leaves, HERE I COME!

These are really FUN to make but it has alot of steps!


Tera Presents Estella Avery By Norma J Burnell


Hallo,
Well I have started a major project in my craft room - someone asked me to make up a Tarot/reading card deck just for them using a lot of fairies and mermaids and such, and with all the wonderful images here at Sweet Pea Stamps I have plenty to choose from!!!
So the 'card' needs to be mostly flat but I also wanted them to be sturdy and to just feel nice - so the image itself is done on Cryogen white and then backed to a very pretty shimmery heavy gold card stock.
For this one I used 'Estella Avery by Norma J Burnell and colored her with Prismacolor pencils. I edged both layers with gold metallic pen and added some gold corner stickers. I did add some pearl drops with a Viva Décor pen but kept them very flat so the deck will lay nice.

I have also used an acrylic spray sealer on the card to help it stay durable during use.



I just love these tangled images from Norma - so fun to color and such pretty faces!!!
All for today - Take Care

Ria Presents Butterfly Blue by Ching Chou Kuik


I think this is one of my favourite stamps from Ching Chou Kuik and it is called Butterfly Blue...
So first is my early morning colouring that I did with this stamp, She is coloured with Alcohol markers and the pearls in her hair are done with a pearl pen by Viva Decor...

I used an old paperpack by Wild Rose Studio, with a Japanese theme. So that was a perfect fit.




I hope you enjoyed my inspiration...
hugs Ria

Jane presents Aphrodites by Gabriella Szabo


Today is my day to showcase and image from Sweet Pea Stamps and I have chosen to work with the beautiful image Aphrodites by Gabriella Szabo which is available from the Sweet Pea Store in both rubber and digi.

This week I have decided on another candle, this image just shouted at me that it was the right proportions :)

To begin created the background and then placed the image without the white background.  This was then printed on tissue paper and coloured with Faber Castell Polychromos pencils.

 Once coloured I then mixed some Pearl Ex powders with very watery PVA glue and painted this on the wings and the light spots.  I had a wee bit left over so also added some to the petals on the roses.  If you would like to see how I decorate my candles I have a tutorial - click here to view.

Here you can see the two side views of the candles.
 Front view of candle

Ingredients:-
  • Image - Aphrodites by Gabriella Szabo
  • Colouring Medium - Faber Castell Polychromos pencils
  • From my Stash - Candle varnish, Pearl Ex, gold wax strip, tissue paper
Thank you for stopping by today and hope you have a happy crafting time ahead of you :) xx
