Post 646: Pair of Ombre Heart Tags (Fantasy Dies, Russia)

Hi folks !

How are you? :)

I've shared a Pair of Ombre Heart Tags on the Fantasy Blog today. I've used Fantasy's beautiful dies. To check out my post, please click HERE. To check out Fantasy's awesome online store, which has superb dies, chipboards and tons of art & craft materials, please click HERE. This is a Russian company & they ship worldwide.

I wanted to create a color gradient, ombre look, so, I did water colouring using Lindy's Gang Magical Shakers. To give the beautiful heart shaped die cuts shine and dimension, they were heat embossed using white embossing powder by Lindy's Gang. The encouraging sentiments were stamped using clear stamps by Stamplorations.

Lindy's Gang March 2019 Challenge

Color Guidelines: Pale Lavender - Soft Grey - Muted Green

To enter the Color Challenge you MUST use at least 2 colors from the monthly color palette and as always you may also use black, white, neutrals or metallic colors as well! We are finding that there are so many amazing artists who are joining our challenge, that we can’t keep up with choosing winners! So, we’ll still have 5 winners of $50 gift certificates to Lindy’s, (sometimes more if we get tons of participants), and of those, 3 projects will be picked by Lindy’s for style, linking, etc, (the details are below) and 2 will be randomly drawn. Hopefully more people are encouraged to enter and we’ll get even more gorgeous projects! We just love sharing the Lindy love & thought this would be a great way to do it without anyone feeling intimidated.

For the challenge inspiration, I've created a Floral Mixed Media XL Tag.

Lindy's Products Used:

Magicals- Merry-Go-Round Green & Pop Rock Purple (from the Under the Boardwalk Flat Magicals Set)

Magicals- Gag Me With a Spoon Gray (from the Totally 80's Shimmer Magicals Set)

Embossing Powder- Merry-Go-Round Green

Flat Spray- Luscious Lime

Here are some photos of the tag:

I've also used Tim Holtz quote chips, Stamplorations stamps & stencil, Ranger's Archival Inkpads, Kaisercraft Stamp, Mudra Craft Stamps Mini Stamps & Decor Stones, Tacky Glue, Gauze, Prima's Heavy White Gesso, Soft Matte Gel. 3D Matte Gel & Modelling Paste, Sisal, glitter, MDF Tags & Mandala. 

Look forward to seeing your gorgeous creations!

Post 457: Grungy Vintage Art Journal Spread- Embrace Your Journey (Inspiration for Art Playground Blog's July Play)

Hi friends!!
Good Morning

Today is my first post as a DT member for the Art Playground Blog :)
Art Playground Blog's July Play is on. There is still time to play along, all the details for it can be found HERE.

 
We have 4 fabulous sponsors, lots of inspiration & ideas, so please do link up your beautiful entries !

For the July Play Inspiration, I made a Grungy Vintage Art Journal Spread- "Embrace Your Journey". I was inspired by the theme, "Tell Your Story" and the gorgeous moodboard colors. I wanted to show the journey of a woman's life, from youth to old age.

Here are some photographs of the Art Journal Spread:

Synopsis of the Process:

I created the background by collaging torn pieces of paper from old book pages, decoupage papers, washi tapes & fabric tapes. Then applied clear gesso to the surface and colors using distress inks and distress oxides. Then did background stamping with archival inks. To add more interest to the background, did background stencilling with AB Studio stencils (using archival ink and modelling paste). The focal elements are paper dolls by Tim Holtz, for layering, used die cuts, gauze, crochet lace, thread and buttons. Added some scribbles with black and white markers to add to the grungy look. Then added the titles using TH stickers & created some ink splatters. In the end, darkened the edges of the pages with black soot distress ink.

Please don't forget to join the Art Playground Blog's July Play 

(open worldwide with awesome prizes)

Thanks a lot for your precious time !
Stay Blessed :)
