Blessed - Mixed Media Collage

Hello sweet bloggie friends!  I'm back today with a new mixed media collage.  I'm giving my beautiful girls a bit of a rest so I created this cute little scene.

This is a 12x24", 1.5" deep canvas.  I covered the entire piece with newspaper print wrapping paper from Target's dollar section.  Then I added fluid acrylics to create the sky and grass.

I dug into the scraps of papers that I've hoarding saving for the houses.

I added fluid acrylics and Faber-Castell Big Brush markers to create depth.

I doodled windows, doors and trims.  I also stamped here and there.

I kept thinking "it takes a village" when I was working on this piece.  That's why I created a whole neighborhood but then I stamped "Blessed" and it changed directions a bit.  Now each of the houses represents a blessing like: love, family and happiness.

So there you have it, a row of blessed little houses. Thank you so much for spending a piece of your day with me.  Have a blessed day!!

Hugs, N.

Happy 4th of July to all my American friends, I hope you're enjoying your day!!  This month I'm sharing a sun drenched art journal page.

This is an old page from my art journal.  It already had all of these beautiful colors on it from previous projects.

I added more layers using stencils and stamps.  The large flourish is from the Vintage Melange set.  The birds are from Bird Melange and the new Bird Beauty stamp set.

Next I added some molding paste to stamp into.  This is one of the stamps from the Bird Beauty set.

After that I added my focal image.  This big beautiful lady is from the Melange 3 Gypsy cling stamp set.  Then I decided to add more texture with molding paste and stencils.

I  love this quote from the new Bird Beauty stamp set!!!

Now for some personality!  I added Domino Washi tape, stamped canvas heart, metal crown, feathers, a flower and Queen B.  I used the Perfect Alphabet and bees from Vintage Melange.

I sprayed various shades of yellow Dylusion inks.  I also added some borders using a stamp from the Vintage Melange stamp set.

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!

The Creation of Reyna

Hi everyone!!  I hope you had a wonderful weekend.  Okay as promised, here is more on Reyna:

I'm a villains kinda girl and my favorite one is the Evil Queen.  So that's who inspired Reyna's creation.

I was killing time on YouTube the other day and started watching some artist videos.  I was so fascinated by all of the different styles. 

So I decided to share my process with you.  Please join me in my studio :D

Thank you so much for watching.  I hope you enjoyed seeing Reyna come to life.

The original canvas is for sale HERE

She's also available in a beautiful porcelain ornament HERE.  Thank you stopping by & Have a Wonderful Day!
