Hello everyone, thank you for stopping by!!  Today I have a really fun summer inspired mixed media piece to share with you.  This time of year I have the beach on my brain so I pulled out the Summer and By the Sea clipart sheets.

I'm using a chipboard banner covered with Cosmo Cricket paper from the Creative Girl Nesting Components kit.

Next I added birds using stencils the Crafter's Workshop stencil included in the For the Birds Nesting Component kit.

I used gesso with the stencil so it would resist when I sprayed the background. 

Once the ink was dry, I embossed with the beautiful Writing stamp.

Once the background was done it was time to start layering.  I added more Creative Girl papers and clip art.

I added K&Company diecuts and jewelry bits from my stash.

The sentiment is from the Happy Day stamp set.

Finishing touches include glitter embossed Renaissance Blue Fern chipboard (currently on sale for $3.15 in the PWP online store), Ric Rac and rubons.   Okay it's time to send back to The Aviary!

Happy 2014 Everyone!!  I hope you all had a WONDERFUL holiday season.  Our's was great because we actually had all of our sons here with their families.  Now that two of them are grown, it's really hard to get everyone together so we really enjoyed having them.  I also took a lot of time off to enjoy my family and recharge the ole batteries.  It felt great to sit back down at my work table to create.  So without further ado, here is my project!

I created a tag using the BEAUTIFUL January Nesting Components kit and several PWP stamps.

I was really inspired by the Cosmo Cricket wood charms in the Jan kit.  I had a ton of ideas of what to create with them but settled on making a frame with the rainbow arches.  I wanted to give them texture so I applied a layer of crackle paste, then sprayed them with each of the Lindy's Sidekicks but in the end I decided to cover them with white embossing powder.

  

I formed the shape of my frame on balsa wood and outlined to cut out but the balsa wood began to split as I cut so I ended up using matte board instead.

I used the beautiful Diana stamp for my focal image (she's one of my favs).  I stamped her with Stazon and then used Prismacolor pencils and Distress inks to color her.  Once I was done, I fuzzy cut her to insert into my frame.

I stamped the matte board with the delicate Lace With Border stamp.  I used Old Paper Distress Ink to keep the background subtle.

I put it all together using Modge Podge and then trimmed the matte board down to fit.

Next I moved onto the background of my tag.  I cover the whole tag with paper from the Cosmo Cricket Creative Girl Mini Deck included in the Jan kit.  I toned it down a bit with Picket Fence Distress Stain.  I created a panel using two of the wooden charms.  To keep the design cohesive, I covered them with white embossing powder too.  I also backed them with more of the Cosmo Cricket Creative Girl paper.

I embellished the tag using the adhesive backed Pearls from the Aug Nesting Components kit, rose ribbon and the fireworks bursts from the Sparkle stamp set.  The sentiment I used is on the With Some Sparkle stamp set.

Another little touch I added was some jewelry wire.  I used it to connect the wooden charms together.  To finish it off, I added some ribbon on the top and one of the Cosmo Cricket canvas brads.  I toned it down with more of the Distress Stain.

This is such a beautiful kit and it worked perfectly with this month's color challenge.  I highly recommend it!  You can view all of the details and purchase your kit HERE.  Well friends, it's time to send you off to the next stop in the hop.  Up next is PWP Mama Bird herself, Carrie!!

Dylusions Art Journal

I finished my very first art journal page in my NEW Dylusions art journal from my PWP January Mixed Media Kit!!

Isn't this fun?!  I just let loose with gesso, paints, inks, Dylusion spray inks and doodling.

In fact I went to town with my doodling and even journaled about it, lol.  I'm definitely on a doodling kick these days, it makes me happy!!  

I added some of the Cosmo Cricket chipboard flowers and border stickers from the kit.  

I'm really enjoying playing with this kit and can't wait to see what Carrie puts together in the February Mixed Media kit.  If you'd like to purchase the January kit, you can find it HERE but hurry because they're almost sold out!

Have a FABULOUS weekend & THANKS so much for stopping by today!!!!

HUGZ :D 

Tag - PWP Mixed Media Kit

Hello, Hello!  Last night I played with my PWP Jan Mixed Media Kit so I'd like to share the tag I created:

I used the craft tag that came with the kit and both of the stencils from the kit to create the background.  I really wish I would have taken a pic before I began layering on top of it.  I used Distress inks, gesso and Dylusions.  

Next I added some of the Cosmo Cricket Art Angel border stickers and doodled around them with the black Signo pen that came in the kit and my white Signo.  I stamped the butterfly wings and embossed with Donna Salazar's Mix'd Media Truffle inx.  Both the stamp and the embossing powder are included in the kit.  Even the cardstock I used is from the kit :D.  I colored in the wings with my Tim Holtz Distress Markers and rolled some book text for the body.

The cute image of the two little girls is from the Cosmo Cricket Art Angels Element Deck, also included in the kit.  I colored the little girls in with Distress Markers, Prismacolor pencils and my white Signo pen.

Finally I added another set of wings to the little girl and some ribbon and scrap fabric.  

I'm planning on using this tag in an art journal page that I'm working on.  If you're interested in the PWP Jan Mixed Media Kit  you still have a chance to pick one up for yourself but don't wait too long!  There are only four kits left so get yours before they're all gone!!

Thank you so much for stopping by today and for all of your sweet comments and birthday wishes for my grandson!!!

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!

Believe - Art Journal

Good Monday Morning to you all!  This morning I'm sharing an art journal page that I finished up last night:

Sorry the isn't that great, I'm in a bit of a rush this morning because it's my grandson's birthday so there is still lots to do in preparation for this evening's festivities ;D

 This is a background I did at my Donna Downey workshop a few months ago.  I adhered a paper towel to my page for texture then stamped a Donna Downey flower onto tissue paper, fussy cut and applied to the page.

So last night I added the second flower, the butterfly, Donna Downey Unity stamp, did some doodling and added some scraps of paper here and there.

For the inclusion, I painted it to match my page and added this cute little Cosmo Cricket Angel that was in my PWP Jan Mixed Media Kit.  She was actually on a tag but I fussy cut so it would show more of the background.

I added another tissue flower, some more doodling and the rest of the Donna Downey Unity quote.  This came together very fast since my background was already done.  I think I'm enter this in the Simon Say's Challenge for this week.  They want to know what you're best known for so it's anything goes.  That's kinda a hard question though, I think I'm best known for lots of layers, bright colors, lots of texture and details.  I don't know, what do you think?

Alright I better go because I have a lot to do for the birthday boy.  Thank's for joining me and have a beautiful day!!
