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:

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. :)

Colorful Creations is Having a DT Call!!!

... And I'm going in head first! LOL

Not that I'm stalking the DT Calls being posted, but I just happened upon the DT call posted over at the Colorful Creations blog today!

Part of the entry was to create a blog post with a layout made using the sketch posted on their blog! I spent the evening after work, before dinner, working on it. At first when I was about to post it, I realized, I had forgotten my title. Silly me! But I went and fixed that up before posting it to my blog. :)

Seems pretty straightforward so far right?  Except that you had to make a layout using fall colours. :) Now, I'm not a colour theory expert or anything, but don't you think that the Prima PPP challenge this month calls for fall colours??

Yeah, so it's not just me, right? I thought so!!  In any case, I've included the layout and some close-up shots of the layout as well!  I hope you all enjoy!!

You may notice, the journaling I did is mostly lyrics to the song Razzle Dazzle, which is the part in the movie (Chicago), from which this photo was taken. I used the Prima Time Traveler's collection to create this layout, in addition to some Distress Paints, Tsukineko Brilliance inks and some lace that I had on my desk. :)

I greatly appreciate you stopping by to check out my work, and I hope to see you back again soon!
