Recipe week with Irit

 Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my small altered project made for Tando Creative challenge week. We were asked to use one stencil, 2 buttons and 3 colors.

This is a kind of " use your leftovers project". The pieces that I added to make this " castle"  are the insides of Tando arches and mini book and I actually added 5 of them one over another to make the shape.
Each piece was covered with one single Tando stencil on the top: this fancy Moroccan roof is a small stencilled piece made with DecoArts texture paste and then heat embossed with gold powder.
Each piece was stamped with Rubber Dance background stamp-Flourishes- using clear embossing ink and the same gold embossing powder. Then  each one of 5 pieces was painted with DecoArts paint and as the stamped images act as resist we still can see the gorgeous embossed background.
I stamped the sentiment with Rubber Dance stamp from ATC Backgrounds 2 (I didn't stamp the name of the author  that is on this stamp, but saying only). Again this was stamped with the same gold heat embossing and painted with the very same dark blue paint.
As my finishing touches I added this clock on the top and two real vintage gold buttons.
You can now imagine that this is your home. Or that you live like 500 years ago in this castle. Just IMAGINE!

Art Journal for anything goes

Hi guys,Liz here for this weeks anything goes theme and I decided to have a go this year at a Art Journal,

I am fairly  new to mixed media so i thought this would be a fab way to try things out,

I have made a cover for it first keeping it fairly flat so it doesn't stop me using the inner pages,

I wanted the Baroque mask to be the main feature so i have kept the background subtle to make her stand out,

I started with some white gesso, when dry i went over with some water based paints and also used some of the purple from a mister but I took a little of the paint out and painted it on with a brush here and there,

I used the Sequin Waste mask with some of the same colours and stenciled it here and there for a little interest,

I then used the Distressed mini Diamond mask with modeling paste and went over with some fluid acrylics when dry,

I used a couple of my stamps in my stash, then stenciled on the Baroque mask using black Gesso,

A few watered down white gesso drips of my paint brush finish it off,

Hugs Liz xx
