Adding a new dimension to paper crafting.

I was thrilled when I was asked by Jenn Furr from Picture That Sound to do a little creating with some of her wonderful product. Picture that Sound adds a whole new dimension to paper crafts and I love it! I enjoy bringing memories and colors together onto a project and with Picture That Sound your can add sound to your project! How cool is that!!! You can find out more about Picture the Sound HERE.

I had a second board so I decided to create a mixed media canvas with it. Using super duper sticky Helmar 450 Quick Dry.. I glued the board onto a canvas after my daughter Ashley had recorded one of her piano pieces onto it. Jessica did the music for my Halloween board. I then went to work with Tattered Angels, acrylics, and Shimmerz.A color party!

I then covered over the board with a sheet of Bazzill Basics Paper; Antique Dictionary Paper with Mod Podge . Be careful NOT to get Mod Podge into the speaker hole and the on/off button. Lightly mark on the paper where your on/off button is for reference.

I had fun using Webster's Pages gorgeous Designer Trims to go around the edge of the board & some Dew Drops from The Robin Nest for a little bling!

I pulled out my Art & Graphic Twin pens from Kuretake to do the writing.

And… I had fun creating with some of my paper, Susan K. Weckesser Inc. and co-brand Unity Stamps.

And here is my finished project that I can not only look at but also listen too. How cool is that! I love it! I have attached a short video so you can hear what my daughters created on the piano for me to go with my artwork! 

Using Picture that Sound product for more memories…

 

I hope you have a super wonderful day!

Have Some Spring Fun with Kuretake.

The Kuretake design team was challenged to create something with the theme "spring bloom."  I was SO thrilled by this challenge because I ADORE spring! The new life that begins to come up all around us and all the colors that blesses the earth. It is AWESOME!!!

So I took out a mix of Kuretake products and had some  fun creating! I used ZIG Memory Writers, ZIG Art & Graphic, ZIG Writer chalk pastel colours, and ZIG Transparent Watercolor Paints. Then to make the work pop, I outlined it all with the ZIG millennium pen.

For my whimsical poppy, I had fun using Kuretake's ZIG Pearlescent Watercolors & ZIG Art & Graphic.

  I love using the ZIG WATER COLOUR SYSTEM BRUSH20 with most of my work. It is so practical and easy to use!

Be sure to check out the Kuretake blog so you can see all the artists fantastic artwork!

Easter Egg Designer Challenge

I got all excited when I saw that Ranger Ink was having an Easter Egg Designer challenge. Ok, so when I read further I saw that it was for their wonderful designers. You can see their fun challenge going on HERE. That didn't stop me because I LOVE Easter and I especially LOVE creating Easter eggs! Maybe it is the Ukrainian in me!

I cut some of Bazzill Basics wonderful Antique paper into strips and Mod Podged it onto a wooden egg.

I also printed out some of Rhonna Designs Spring Mix Elements kit. Once I cut out the butterflies that I wanted I used Dimensional Magic from Plaid and added a bit of micro glitter for some pizzazz!   

  I had SO much fun using  Alcohol Inks from Ranger Ink and Shimmerz Jack Frost. I LOVE playing with color and adding dimension.It always puts a smile on my face!

I had so much fun being creative today and with the weather getting warmer and things beginning to grow…. It truly is feeling like SPRING!
