Mood Board Challenge - Fitzy

Ah... The love of an animal..
This is my recently dearly departed soul mate. We all have one cross our paths in this lifetime.
I go to extremes recording memories of my happy moments with the people I love, this time it was a moment I love with him.


I got to use the Fabulous Colour Blast products and  my shipment of 13@rts new release papers arrived in time for this one. Here's a quick few process pics.. 


I put some Colour Blast Gesso White onto a piece of plastic wrap and misted it with water. I used that as a stamp to give me a nice clear area to work with in the middle. I also used Caribbean and Grape Colour Sprays in the same manner to meet the rules of the Moodboard Challenge. 


Using my Aall & Create stencil I used the Colour Paste to create my texture. I used two swipes through on the same stencil to soften the tones in the paste. I used Dusty Charcoal and Envy.


Check out the difference in colour from Wet to Dry!


I repeated the same process with the Singing The Blues Colour Paste and created a  frame for my focal point. 


Next I added some drippage with the Colour Spray bottles by using the applicator to the page and misted lightly with water to help it run.


I love this Fairy from Dusty Attic.. I often have her blowing some Fairy Dust across my pages.. I used a Vine Chipboard from Little Birdie and Netting from Dusty Attic to build the collage. I used my Colour Blast Shimmer pen over my chipboard to give it a sparkle. Done!!


I used some Cheesecloth and some Flowers from 49th & Market with the Ephemera elements from 13@rts to finish off. The beads came from 'Which Craft Do You Do?'.

Vintage Inspired Mixed Media Layout "Prince" by Dutt Preety

Hi friends :) 
Good Morning!

I'm very happy & thankful to be on the Art & Soul Studio blog today. 
This is my first DT project for Art & Soul Studio, so I hope you'll enjoy it! 
I have created a Vintage Inspired Mixed Media Layout- "Prince" along with a pictorial. 

Vintage Inspired Mixed Media Layout- Prince


Here are some close-up photos of the layout:












Pictorial:

Step 1: Applied clear gesso to a 12 by 12 piece of heavy white cardstock (to prep it for mixed media), then mixed Dark Chocolate Impasto Paint with Modelling Paste to create a dark texture paste, applied it through one of the stencils from Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set #27. Then added color to the background using various shades of blue & brown sprays by Lindys Gang. 

Step 2: Did background stencilling by sponging on distress inks through a couple of stencils from the Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set #27

Step 3: To create DIY vintage looking papers (for the photo mats), I used book pages, scrunched them up to create creases, then dyed them with a solution of water mixed with 1 packet of instant coffee & a few drops of distress ink reinkers. Added splashes of more intense color in some spots to create a worn out, old look. Let these air dry. 

Step 4: Did background stamping using archival & distress inks and texture as well as script stamps 

Step 5: Chose the focal element (a vintage photo) from Tim Holtz Found Relatives Cards, punched it out with a circle punch. Collected all the elements for layering, including twine, burlap, corrugated cardboard, DIY vintage papers, cheese cloth, chippies, gems, crochet lace and thread. Deckled & distressed the edges of all the papers & adhered everything down to create a visually pleasing composition. Used Tacky glue to stick the elements & used pieces of cardboard as well as foam tape between some of the layers, to create added dimension

Step 6: In the end, created ink splatter using watered down distress inks, added some quotes using stickers, added a bit of shine to the project using Finnabair's waxes and drew on a few scribbly borders for the sentiments. 

Products Used: 


Please don't forget to join Art & Soul Studio's Monthly Challenge. There are awesome prizes on offer & we have a stunning mood board every month. For inspiration, please check out the gorgeous projects made by my talented team mates. All the details about the October Challenge can be found HERE.
