Hello Crafters,

I want to show you my last Canvas with Gelatos, I made this canvas using the Sketch you can find at OUAS .

The inspirational quote for the journaling was :

An event that changed my life....

And I didn't have to think twice, I went straight to my gallery and printed out a photo of my friend Chiara and I. When I say this, noone believe me, but Chiara and I have been knowing eachother since less than a year and half!
Weird right? I know I know, sometimes this leave me speechless too...I can't believe that a friendship like ours, so deep and so sincere is built this level after "only" a year and half...
We are in perfect harmony and it takes just a look in her eyes to understand what she is thinking or feeling, and back.
I definitely can say that Chiara has been my anchor in these past months, maybe one of the few people that are able to "live" with my "primitive behaviour", as I joking call it.
You don't know me but sometimes I act by heart without even thinking what I am doing and say -- but hey I am an Aries, blame it on the Astrology! hahahaha!! Just kidddding!

I want to thank her with this Canvas. I want to thank her for everything and nothing...just for the fact she is here, everytime, without what if or oh wells.
And also...she is the reason of why all my projects are now on line...if it was for me they were going to be trashed after the first 10 minutes of work. She always encourage me, and I am so so Lucky to have a friend like her.

So yes, an event that changed my life was definitely the day I have met her!

Here are some pictures , I will soon post the step by step tutorial.
(Journaling is hidden where the 3 sequins are below the photo)

This layout was featured on Sketchabilities FB page as Featured Design #113


Hello Crafters!

Today I want to show you another Layout on a canvas.
I was looking for an exact kind of photo and since I didn't find any, I decided to take a photo of myself.

For my base I used a cheap canvas (LOL), I stamped over it and I applied some modeling paste with a stencil by TCW. After I decided my color palette, I grabbed my Gelatos. I used : Red Cherry , Boysenberry, Earl Grey, Black Licorice e Gold Champagne, I also used Liquitex Ink Pyrrole Red and Carbon Black.

For the stamping part I used "Papillon" set by Stampers Anonymous and some stamps by Les Basiques de Manuéla "Textures II" , with black Archival Ink and Versamark ink.
To add some sparkle I used some gold...gold sequins and gold embossing powder by JudiKins...I really recommend you to get this powder! You can find it HERE

For the journaling and the "OWN" (in the title) I used a Calligraph pen and Winsor & Newton Ink (a gift from my friend Chiara!). I really loved to add my personal touch although I have a really bad calligraphy!

This Layout is based on THIS SKETCH and I kinda changed it a bit.

The title "Write your own fairytale" obviously is related to my photo hehe my own version of Little Red Riding Hood. This Layout is part of my own "healing" after a fairytale that gone bad... :-) but it's all good in the...hood!

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE ! Till next time, xoxo!

...Do you know that feeling you have when in front of you there is a couple that love eachothers so much? One of these couples that you can see it from far away that they are just the other half of eachothers. You can feel it right away, from the way they stare in each other eyes, you can feel it by the way they talk , by their complicity.

I wrote so many times about ElenaB , one of the italian artists that I admire, but I always wrote about her as an artist infact...or as a big friend. Today I want to show you her as a great woman,a great wife and also a great mom.

In the photo you can see her husband Massi and herself. As I take a loot at the photo I listen to the song that inspired me ,  Justin Timberlake 's song...and I know that this song is perfect for that photo.
This song is them, this photo is them!

I worked on this LO all night, because I like to complicate my life ahhaha!!

...to see the step by step, head over here @ Scrappando!!

Hello Crafters!

.. here we are with a new month, and with a new month us at the Scrappando blog have a new challange for you!

Go here to check it out what the team made!

You have time till 30th April 11.55 pm CET to join us! The winner will be our next guest designer, plus to ANYONE that take part of the challange there is a 5% off any purchase made in the shop.

These are the Challange Elements:

• Color Palette (see here the color pallette)
• Gesso
• Watercolor

I then stamped my sentiment with Versamark Ink and poured over some Gold Embossing Powder. (My sentiment is a stamp from this collection Kesi'Art Les Belles Choses.)
I applied gesso, added some sequins, did some doodling around the sentiment to create interest and then I matted my piece over a piece of Bazzil Peach.

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions etc etc please leave a comment HERE !

Till next time, xoxo!
