SHE WAITS, SHE WATCHES and DECOART

DecoArt Mixed Media Haunts Challenge!

I love Halloween so DecoArt's Mixed Media Haunts Challenge was the perfect challenge for me.

My project was made on an 8x8 wood board.

I used these lovely DecoArt Products

Traditions: Phthalo Blue and Raw Umber

Matte Medium

Modeling Paste

Fluid Acrylics: Dioxazine Purple, Medium Grey Value 6, Dark Grey Value 3, Carbon Black, Titanium White, Interference Violet

Misters: Primary Cyan

I wish I had more step by step pictures but I didn't like what I was making at first.

I walked away and came back and then the magic happened.

I was having so much fun I didn't take many pictures.

You can see in this first picture the background I didn't like.

I created it with Mini Branches stencils but didn't like it.

I then added with stone walkway using Organic Matter stencil and modeling paste.

While the modeling paste was still wet, I added some grey paint watered down to the board.

It moved all the way through the stone path.

When it dried it looks like this.

Pretty cool looking.

I added more layers of paint and splatter it with titanium white to finished the background.

Doesn't look like a cool night sky?

Using a Stampendous Skeleton Lady and jet black archival ink, I stamped her on tissue paper and added her to the board.

I decided she didn't need anything else. 

She waits, She watches

I hope you like my project.

I had so much fun creating it.

Tip: Buy DecoArt paints.

The colors are amazing!!!

I SPY ??? on my 10x10 Floral Abstract

Hi Everyone!

 

It's time for another I Spy.

 

I SPY A STENCIL FROM THE CRAFTER'S WORKSHOP

Where is it?

Which stencil did I use?

 

I have to photos to show you.

This one is after many, many layers and not sure where I was going with it.

 

 

This is the finished piece.

I love the colors.

All the paint I used was DecoArt Media Fluid Acrylics.

You can see the Media Fluid line HERE

I am now looking for a way to frame it.

 

 

Did you spot the stencil?

 

I used TCW502 Mini Impressions Stencil

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Elegant Motif: A New 2015 Stencil from The Crafters Workshop

I'm so excited to show you another new stencil from The Crafters Workshop.

It's called Elegant Motif (TCW581 12x12 and 6x6)

This stencil will definitely be one I use over and over.

It can be used for so many things.

I used the 12x12 size to create art journal pages.

First I used acrylic paints to both pages.

I let the paint dry until tacky then closed and opened my art journal.

The paint stuck to the other pages and torn some holes into the pages.

It gave me extra texture.

Using white acrylic paint and a cosmetic sponge I added the Elegant Motif stencil to the pages.

When it dried I added DecoArt Media Crackle Glaze to the pages.

The crackle glaze dried and I add DecoArt Media Antiquing Cream in English Red to both pages.

I know it looks scary red but once you let it dry a few minutes take a baby wipe and wipe it off.

Continue to wipe it off until you like what you see.

Now you can see all the crackle and the stencil design.

On one side I added a little sign with washi tape all the way around it to frame it.

I added the birds (rub-ons) on top of the sign.

Here is the finished page.

The other birds are also rub-ons.

I did make a mistake.

I wanted it to say True Love Forever BUT I didn't realize I it was wrong until after I finished the page. Oh well.

The bridge and groom are my parents on their wedding day.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
