Altered Box- Creative Embellishments

Hello!! I have been working on altered projects lately and I share one with you today.  I made this altered box using the fantastic Creative Embellishments products. I took a round wooden box that I bought at my local craft store and covered it with The Peony Avenue paper by Studio 75.  I  cut and adhered the Bubble Panel to the lid of the box and the Flourish . Once the Bubble Panel was adhered to the top of the box, I glued the flowers and pearls then  I gave a coat of white gesso to the chipboard and flowers. I painted the chipboard with Color Blooms, metallic acrylic paint  in coral, pink, and gold colors.  I embossed one of the Butterflies in gold and pink embossing powders.  Then I added more textures with art stones , pearls and glass beads. I stamped the bottom of the box with the Distressed Crackle Stamp and a permanent ink. Other supplies I used: Prima Marketing: Color Bloom Peony Metallic Watercolors Mica Powder- Go

Fall Canvas- Creative Embellishments

Hi! I made a fall canvas to share with you today using the pretty chipboard and products by Creative Embellishments . I love the beautiful colors that nature brings us during this season and I mixed orange, brown and cranberry colors in the canvas, let’s take a look… First, I gave textures to the canvas with the Crackled Brick Stencil and modeling paste.   I created a design using  the Autumn Leaves that I adhered with gel medium. I added pieces of lace between the chipboard. I gave more textures adhering art stones and glass beads with gel medium. Once I had all the pieces  glued down, I gave a coat of white gesso over all the canvas. I painted the chippies and canvas with mist in orange, cranberry and brown colors. I painted the title “Autumn Word set” with a brown mist then I applied a brown marker to the borders. Other supplies I used: Prima Marketing- Gesso, gel medium, art stones, glass beads, lace, Color Blooms Fabercastle-

Holiday Mixed Media techniques featuring Carousel Christmas

Hello!!  I share with you today a holiday mixed media layout with the gorgeous Carousel Christmas collection and products by BoBunny and Pentart.   I started giving textures to my base paper (Joy) with the Winter Fun Stickable Stencil and the Sugar Glitter Paste. It created bright snowflakes on the background, then I added white paint splatters. The Joy paper has a few spots of yellow paint, so I created more yellow spots on the background with a mix of Pentart Acrylic Gold paint and Gesso Primer Paste. I used the Happy Holidays as my title and to enhance it,  I cut the pink banner from the Floral paper and adhered it behind the quote with foam tape. I draped the Joy paper and place under the believe paper. To make the project more interesting I tied a white cord to the jingle bells. I made some dots with the Pearlecents to create more textures on the background. I applied with a paintbrush the Gold Confetti Paste on the background and added pieces

Celebrating Card with 3D Stars and Glitter

Hello everyone! I hope you are good! Thank you so much for all your best wishes and comments here, YouTube and social media.  I'm feeling better but I have not returned to normal yet. The pneumonia left me weak and I'm tired almost all the time but I force myself to do things so I want to share with you this card that I made with the fabulous 3L Scrapbook Adhesives products.  I used the Foam Stars to bring dimension and textures to the background of my card. Creating the background of my Celebration Card Start with a 5 1/2 x 5″ white cardstock as the card panel, paint with distress oxide ink . Then adhere the  3D Foam Stars  on the background. Next, let’s create a design on the card panel. I used different types and sizes of the 3D Foam Stars . Make sure to keep the top liner on for now. Now for the fun part: Wear Your Adhesives on the Outside! Carefully peel off the top liner from the 3D Foam Stars and sprinkle white glitter over all the stars. Press gl

Beautiful Day ....Creative Embellishments

Hello! I have to share a mixed media layout today using the fabulous chipboard by Creative Embellishments. This time I get out of my comfort zone playing with a dark background and gold tones but I had a lot of fun and I love the final result! This photo is a lovely memory from my workshops in Peru last September, These lovely ladies attended my classes and we had a great time it was a Beautiful day, I started applying black gesso over a black cardstock, then I gave textures with a stencil and modeling paste.  I painted the background with mica powders. My inspiration to create this page was the title chipboard Beautiful Day that I embossed with a gold color. I used the Circles chipboard to create the design on the background. First I embossed it on gold color to create the sparkling effect. Then I cut the circle panel in four pieces and placed them behind and around the photo. The title looks really nice with the sparkling effect. I used the 14 karat- embossing pow

November challenge - Creative Embellishment

It's November and it's time for a new challenge at Creative Embellishments blog. This month the beautiful image has the fall colors and the twist is to use a flourish, here's my take...  I was inspired by the fall colors in the beautiful image. I created this tag using similar colors and with a Thankful sentiment that goes perfect for the season.  I used  Creative Embellishments product like the Flourish Corner 2 that I painted with distress oxides.  I stamped randomly with the Distressed Text Stamp.    I gave textures on the background with the Fairy Dust Stencil and Copper glitter paste. As usual please be inspired by at least one of the elements from the picture  and the twist is to use a flourish on our project. I painted the  Flourish Corner 2 with Distress Oxide -Vintage Photo Challenge Guidelines: >Create a  NEW  project  layout, mini album, tag, card, canvas,  etc….as of   November  1st, 2017 . >Please add your entr
