Altered Rustic Bench: June OTP Projects For Flying Unicorn

 Hi Crafters!!

Today I am so very excited to share with you the projects I made for Flying Unicorn!!! 

The super adorable Off-The-Page project is a rustic bench!!! I had so much fun altering it and it is my first bench I ever altered!!

For the Mixed Art Kit add on, I created on mixed media altered canvas and one mixed media card.

I just LOVE the colors!!! You will get flowers, mediums, paints, flowers, metal pieces, a canvas, and a stencil.

So basically everything you need to put together an amazing piece of art!! I have a PHOTO TUTORIAL on how I made the card. I will also embed the video tutorial for the Off-The-Page Project and Mixed Media Altered Canvas. However, I will put the canvas the card in another blog post. So stay tuned please

----Here is the Altered Bench----

Tutorial:

I painted the  bench with green and kraft color paints to make it even more distressed. I also painted it with some Shimmerz Candlelight to add some shine.

I try to make every embellishment have the same color theme and look distressed. I layered bunch of yummy goodies. I also cut out some strips from beautiful Riddersholm Design Paper you can get from Flying Unicorn. Then I put the paper strips here and there on the bench just to tie everything together. I also fussy cut out some elements from the paper.

Thank you for looking :)

Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout For OUAS

Hi Crafters

Today I want to share a mixed media layout I created for Once Upon A Sketch. As always, I used my delicious Shimmerz product on this layout. Recently, I am crazily in love with any purplish red colors, like magenta. So you probably will see quite a few projects with these kind of colors on them, lol.

For this layout, I wanted to challenge myself a little. I used embellishments on every layout I have made and this time, I want to make one without any embellishments. I cut out many elements from the paper and just layered them together. Some fussy cut outs can be used as embellishments as well. This is the most simple layout I have done. Everything is from the paper and few sprays. No any other embellishments are used. I am super happy with how it turned out. Guess when I am on a budget, I will make inexpensive layouts like this more often, LOL.

Anyways, hope you like this simple layout :)

Here is the start-to-finish video on this layout:

Shimmerz Mixed Media Art Journal Page

Hi friends :)

Today I am sharing a loss page art journal page I created as a Shimmerz Education Team Product. The color theme is really simple as you can see. I did not put any words or titles on it either, because this art journal is more like a creation of my feelings than my thoughts.

I always wanted to put some words into my art journal page. But sometimes when I was creating this one, I just didn't know how to describe what I want to say. So I decided just to create what I feel inside.

I first sprayed the background color and used white paint to tone everything down. Then I ripped some newspaper print tissue paper and collaged them onto the background. I love the paint drips on my art journal, so I made my mist run and let them drip away. I took a checkerboard stencil and dazzelerz in color gummy berry blue to create some texture. Then I used Texturez in color Crushed Coral to go over some places to create more texture and layers of colors.

It is a really simple and fast art journal page to create. Hope you like it

Here is the start-to-finish video:

Product List:

--Spritz: Caribbean Sunset, sapphire, Sea Foam

--Vibez: Blue Jeans

--Dazzelerz: Gummy Berry Blue, Tutti Frutti

--Texturez: Crushed Coral

Prima Something Blue Altered Photo Stand For SaCrafters

Hi friends :)

Today I am sharing a photo stand I made for SaCrafters. All the wood and chipboard product used on this project is from SaCrafters and all the paints are from Shimmerz. 

Since it finally feels like spring here, I decided to make something with vibrant and fresh colors. The coral and mint green colors are perfect for the spring feeling. 

Every flower was in white color and I painted them mint green and coral. They were a little bit too vibrant when I just painted them. So I went over it with texture paste to tone them down a little.

I painted every wood and chipboard piece white first and then use different paints to color them.

I love those chipboard chains SaCrafters has!! They are the most affordable chipboard chains I can find. I have so many plans for this chain, I don't want to use them all just in one project. So here is a method you can use to save your chipboard embellishments, however, your chipboard embellishments need to be thick to do this. SaCrafters chipboard embellishments are really thick and you can totally use this method.

So what you need to do is very simple, just peel it into different layers, lol. SaCrafters chipboard embellishments can be peeled into 3 layers. You will see me doing this in the start-to-finish video.

Here is the start-to-finish video:

Really hope you like it :))

Love,
