For You, mixed media card

A moment to play for me! A just because card. Because my friend Debi Adams made this beautiful dies for Spellbinders. Because I admire Seth Apter and these mixed media does are da bomb. Add in because Ken Oliver made glorious tropical Colorburst and TCW has wonderful mixed media stencils I love and there you have it. A just because I love it all and it looks awesome together!


Begin by die cutting your shapes

Add dimension with goof old glossy accents, let dry and don't mind my "experienced" work table...
Using your stencil over watercolor paper squirt colors and spray with water!
Wasn't that easy fun? Now give it to someone special!, it will brighten their day!

Turning your Relics and Artifacts chandelier drop into a keychain

Relics and Artifacts chandelier drops are so awesome! This past Christmas I turned one into an ornament for the tree you can learn how here https://snapguide.com/guides/make-a-relic-chandelier-ornament/
Today I shared a chalkboard label for your plants, https://snapguide.com/guides/make-a-plant-marker-with-a-chandelier-drop/
hey you can use it over a bottle of bubbly and present it as a gift !
And I thought what if I could use it for my keys, sooo this is just beyond easy. I show you how!
Step one
Using jewelry snips cut your chandelier wire
Save the top part for your next project!
Add the ring on top
Attach the ring and chain for your keys!
Select your embellishments, bling is never wrong!
Paint with metallique of your choice, I happen to love pink!
And get your keys on it!!! See how easy!!!

Assemblage using ColourArte

Today I bring you a mixed media assemblage painted with ColourArte Products, from start to finish


Here's my process
I have used a Paper Whimsy chipboard

 then I began my composition adding metal findings and a Relics And Artifacts resin
 I prepared everything with a coat of gesso
 Then I added textures to the heart of my piece
I mixed Primary Colors with gel medium and I absolutely lost myself in the painting


 for the background I used twinkling H2O's in burnt umber #26376 to age my paper
the final touches were done with silk paint in solar gold applied with my fingers to the raised pieces 
A closer look to the center


Although this piece can be hanged on a wall on its own, I wanted the added depth of a wooden frame
I also used Silk to coat my Relics and Artifacts wood frame



I hope you have enjoyed my mixed media piece!
