Hello Crafters!

Today I am over the ColourArte blog where I will show you how I altered this canvas using cold colors.

I love to create different textures and even if in this canvas I didn't use either stencil nor modeling paste, I was able to achieve a textured result just as I like!
This was achievable because I used Radiant Gels by ColourArte, these are tridimensional gels that reminds me a lot of modeling paste, just they are shiny and pearlescent dimensional paint.

Here's a little sneak peek...


I invite you to head over the ColourArte blog to check out more photo, the final project and most of all to check out what materials I used!

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

Stay happy, stay creative! Till next time, xoxo!

Hello Crafters!
Here we are at the seventh video of the series  ATC Tuesday over my YouTube channel.
I do not know what prompted me or inspired to create this ATC, I must say that the colors are too "soft" and "delicate" (if one can say so), compared to my usual ... But I like the result the same!

Each time you should explore "new worlds" and enjoy, if not the result, at least the courage!

Hello Crafters!
Today I want to show you a small altered canvas that I made for the challange Take It Make It sul blog di Craft Stamper.  These days I had a bad "relationship" with my Mac, I literally wanted to throw it from the window!! Nothing was working and it really made me tired and stressed.

On the top of that, part of the video has been deleted (don't ask me how this was possible as I don't know it my self either! LOL) Soooo...the video I will show you is REALLY quick and fast...but keep in mind that I am always here and available to answer all your questions. It may take me few days sometimes as I disconnect periodically from Internet to have some "me" time, but I answer as soon as possible!

Before showing you my project, it is fair that I point out that I was VERY inspired by this old project from Jen Marie Randall. She used a shoe box, I altered a small canvas.

Said this, here is what I created :



This is the video, again, bear with me as it is super fast!

Here's are some more photo :

Hello Crafters

#ATCTuesday is back! I had to step back for a few little "technical inconvenience" from my ATC series on myYouTube channel. I have received a lot of email asking about that and I apologize for not giving any heads up about why I was not posting any video, but I am back and that is the most important thing!

So here's the ATC we will be creating together!
I created an ATC with its own box (Sizzx Dies by SA Design)











This is the material from STAMPERIA that I have used :

Hello Crafters and Happy Sunday!
Today I am over the ColourArte's blog where I show you how I "recycled" an old coaster that I took home during "the golden days" where I did not know that you could easily buy a brand new coasters in a craft store!

Of course that night was "a good one" because the coaster was really....let's say messy! And of course all this has made me doubt my common sense, especially if we think that at least this coaster has "five years".

But....details....!

I decided to give this poor coaster a new life, using fantastic products from ColourArte.
I'll make others so I can give them to a friend of mine with her favorite bottle of wine as my Christmas Gift!



I invite you to head over ColourArte's blog to read the material I have used and to check out more photo!

Hello Crafters!
Today I am thrilled and honored to show you my first project for the Creative Team - Ken Oliver Crafts.
For this project I created a Tag and I had so much fun playing with Color Burst - they are truly shiny and bright and also so easy to play with!

Check out Ken Oliver Craft's blog for more information


Material List:

- Color Burst : Alizarin Crimson
- Color Burst : Yellow Ochre
1) First, I used Color Burst as "ink" -- if I can say that! I put some powder over the stamp , I tried to put little because you really need a little bit of Color Burst to get the bright color!


2) I then spritzed water and let the color blend and mix together well, then I stamped. I have to admit that it took me few tried before I got a good stamped image. This happend because I was adding too much water and I was ending up creating a mess! The stamp you see I used in my tag is a second generation stamp.


3) I covered the tag with Tissue Paper and gel medium, I let it dry then I poured a bit of Ultramarine Blue Color Burst, I spritzed with water then I stared in awe while the Color Burst "bursted" into this bright amazing color! This might be one of my favorite color!


4) When the tag was dry, I applied pieces of tape and covered few parts with Heavy Gesso -- I let it dry again.

5) I mixed a bit of Terre Verte with water and with a brush I applied the color here and there over the tag. I decided to do this way because I wanted to have more control of where I was putting the color.



6) Finally I decorated and completed the tag. I stamped the background, stitched around the sides, cut a piece of vellum (and colored it with Alizarin Crimson Color Burst), a black thread and some splashes made with black acrylic paint.

Here are some details...







And here the whole tag...


What do you think about it?

I invite you to head over the Ken Oliver Crafts's blog for even more inspiration!

Hello Crafters!
Today I am over the IndigoBlu's blog with a project were I made how I upcycled a cardboard/packaging box.
You should know by now, that this is one of my favorite materials to work with, indeed I must say that lately is a "must", I love to work with it so much that my studio is now completely full of scraps of cardboard!
