Long Time No See, Welcome to my August Prima PPP Entry! (Lots of Pics!)

A quick hello and a grateful thank you for dropping by to check out my entry into this month's Prima Product Picks Challenge.

The inspiration board that was posted on the Prima blog was:

My finished project based on the inspiration board looks like this:

While I did post some sneak peeks along the way on Instagram, like these:

Here is a summary tutorial with more detail on what I used and how it all came together. :)

Products:

• Creative Embellishments chipboard pieces
• Other chipboard pieces (unknown source)
• Golden Arts Light Molding Paste
• Golden Arts Seed Bead Gel
• "Generic" brand white gesso

Process:

1. Cut apart and glue down chipboard pieces to canvas
2. Paint with a couple coats of gesso
3. Stipple on molding paste to create small peaks
4. Add seed bead gel as desired
5. Paint with another couple coats of gesso

Products:

• Prima Finnabair stencil
• Prima color bloom sprays
• Liquitex Modelling Paste (not pictured)
• Many other sprays, at least 3 others (not pictured)

Process:

1. Use modelling paste with the stencil to create more
   background texture
2. Spray with shimmery colour sprays until desired
   colouring is achieved. :)

Products:

• Prima floral vine
• Prima large flower
• Prima small flowers
• Liquitex clear gesso (not pictured)
  - Get it? It's clear gesso. :P
• Other random flowers (source unknown)
• Stickles (not pictured)
• Wooden polaroid frame (source unknown)
• Lettering (multiple sources)

Process:

1. Add Prima vine
2. Add Prima large flower
3. Add Prima small flowers
4. Add chipboard pieces to the back of the wooden
   polaroid frame to add dimension
5. Use clear gesso on polaroid frame
6. Use all the same sprays and stickles on the frame
7. Adhere frame to the canvas :)
8. Add lettering as desired
9. Add all the other embellishments your heart desires

No filter - This is genuinely how bright the canvas is while hanging on my fence. :)

I clustered my flowers along the side of the canvas as well. :)

More photos because I love this project and felt a different background could help some people, maybe? :)

HOLY PHOTOS!

Life. Paper. Scrapbook. A double whammy entry.

This post is a little bit special for a few reasons - 

1. It's an entry into BOTH the Life. Paper. Scrapbook. challenges for the month of August
   

   Sketch Challenge
   Mood Board Challenge

   L. P. S. has shared that this is the last challenge for a little while (hopefully very little). :(

2. I'm pretty sure this is my first "real" mixed media canvas.
3. I've finally taken a bite into my BoBunny Enchanted Garden collection!

The sketch that I was trying to keep to was:

And the mood board that I sparked my Bobunny fire was:

See those purples and blues at the bottom? That's where I picked my main inspiration from. The colours in the palette on the bottom right of the mood board is what led me to go with the bottom colour palettes because the photos themselves have a lot of those right most palette colours! w00t!

Without further delay, here is my entry into these challenges!

I can't wait to finally drop this off for my friend! I've been letting him know I'll be making him something for his desk at work for ages... And FINALLY got to it. LOL, I'm such a bad friend. :P

Thanks for sharing my love of BoBunny today!!

Fusion Card Challenge entry

The last entry I have from this past weekends' creations is this card as my entry into the Fusion Card challenge!

At first, I was thinking of only using the sketch - HOWEVER, as I started looking at the papers from the card kit from this month, I realized that many of the colours coordinated perfectly when compared to the colour palette in the photo, so that makes this a... FUSION challenge! *ba dum cha*

See?! Aren't the colours just SO appropriate for this card/sketch fusion??!?! :D

Thanks for dropping by!!

WWW Wednesday, Third Edition

Let's talk about colour schemes!

Do you find it difficult to work with colour schemes?

I ask this because I really really do.  I don't know what it is about trying to match colour that scares me so much, but when I look at a set of colours and think that I'll need to coordinate a project with it, I get a little worried.

Not so with these AWESOME crafters!

Kreative Koncepts recently posted the winners to their colour challenge #26 where this was the theme to gain inspiration from:

When I look at a colour arrangement like this, I start to slowly back away from the challenge and find myself a sketch to work with instead. LOL

However, the people who won (and even the people who entered at all) really went all out with this and I'm blown away by their ability to use colour the way they did!

For some colourful inspiration, drop by the Kreative Koncepts blog to see the marvelous projects created by these wonderful crafters!
