Love people by Marina Ignatova

Hello fans of colors! Marina’s here and I’m happy to present to your attention my new project!

I created an inspirational tag. You can attach it to a gift, or just admire it.

To begin with, I mixed a texture paste with mica powder and applied a palette knife to the base of the tag. I stamped with acrylic paint and black ink.

On top of the dried paste, I applied wax with my finger to show the texture.

For decoration I used cutting, chipboard, moulds and metallic embellishment. I put all this together in a composition. The raised surfaces were waxed again. Then I added some topping, watercolors, and splashes.

With that, my tag was ready! For clarity, I made a step-by-step video tutorial. I hope it will be useful to you. And enjoy watching it!

Best wishes, Marina

Find your path by Nirvana

Hello!!!

This month, I received my "mysterious box" - set of wonderful products, that I need to use in my project! I have concocted a little bright wonder!!

First of all I would like to show you all the items I received!

I created a video of my process. I met some small problems at the time of the filming, so there are small pieces of my video, that are missing.

First of all, I prepared my round wood cut, on which I glued one of the beautiful papers from the "Take me there" collection at AB Studio! Then I prepared my the background by sticking a cardboard on a wooden board. I tore off the first layer of cardboard, to make the texture visible!  

I then applied black gesso, glued embellishments that I also painted with black gesso! Then I applied the Wax "old silver" and I added a few drops of "Art Alchemy" paint here and there. I sprayed some water on everything to dilute the pigments! I took my round wood cuts, and started decorating them with recycled embellishments, and others from Prima and Mitform! I also cut and pasted photos and labels from the AB Studio paper collection!

I installed lights between my 2 round wood cuts, taking care to hide the cable!

It only remains for me to add embellishment to fill a little edges and make some spots with Mica powder mixed with liquid glue!

I'll finish everything by making spots with paints from Art Alchemy series: "silver spoon", "deep water" and "ancient corner"!!

Here it is! Even if it misses some small passage on my video, you know everything !! It's your turn!!

xoxo
Nirvana!
