Don't let anyone dull your sparkle

After my great class at Artified with Naomi Cox I became a little addicted to gelatos....

This is on 300g waterproof paper prepped with gesso. I've used gelatos with a mini mister of water to create a base for the background. Along with pieces of book page stuck down with matt medium gel.

I've also stamped with clear stamps using the gelatos and also mixed up impasto with gelato and used through couple of stencils. I've scribbled with the gelatos around the edges to border the page.

I have used paper artsy grung paste through the Tim Holtz star stencil to give a real pop around the edges. I have then used a kaiser quote stamp with momento black ink and cut out some chipboard birds and birdcage and coloured them again with my gelatos....

Simple gelato love!!!

Girly wreath

So this is something a little different from me. It's a girly wreath I've made from a polystyrene wreath and using modge podge I've covered it with strips of ripped  paper (I used the needle and thread paper range from kaisercraft) and lace. When dry I've sprayed it with pearl glimmer mist so it sparkles and tied some extra lace on. 

I've die cut a mannequin from paper and chipboard using a Tim holtz alterations sizzix die and stick them together. I have then inked the edges using tattered rose distress ink and then used crackle accents over the whole mannequin. I had an old hair clip that had a large material flower on- ive pulled the clip part off and used glimmer mist sprays to change the colour of the flower. I've also made more flowers using paper left from the wreath and used a sizzix die to make some small flowers which I have glued onto the wrath at either side of the large flower. To finish my wreath off I have used some decorative pins that my lovely friend Carly makes (I have mentioned Carly in a previous post- check out her blog)
