Shabby Chic Altered Mask

There is still time to get your projects in for the Canvas Corp Brands 

October Challenge...you have til Nov. 5th.

To see all the details and prize jump over to the 

Canvas Corp Brands Blog, HERE.

Here is what I came up with...this challenge sure did challenge me!

Shabby Chic 

Altered Mask

I started with a plain white mask from the craft store,

then I glued beads, buttons and pearls to the mask.

Painted it completely white...

Next was to add color....I pulled out my Tattered Angels

Glimmer mists, and started to spray and spray...so much fun.

I also used crackle paste to add beautiful texture...where the glimmer mist

sipped into the cracks...just love this effect.

Grabbed some of the Canvas Corp Brands burlap and muslin, 

7Gypsies lace, book and music paper, Petaloo butterfly, Tim Holtz 

Tattered Floral Die, created my own flowers.

And of course used Tattered Angels glimmer mist to add amazing

colors to the flowers and mask.

This challenge differently pushed me out side 

my creative box, but it was totally fun and worth it..

it's great to try new things and try new products.

Love the rustic texture with the shabby lace mixture!

Thanks for stopping by,

hope I inspired you to grab your crafty supplies

and create something beautiful.

Let me walk you through my mixed media card!

I started with a card base, for the card layers

I used a few pieces of 7Gypsies paper collection

and Express Yourself.

Gave the layers some texture with gesso, modeling paste with 

stencils, cheese clothe, CC grey burlap and rope. Added color using

Tattered Angels mists in color challenge colors with a few extras!

Altered Book~Marion Smith Designs "Nirvana"

Last week Marion asked us the Design Team to challenge us to create an Altered Book!!! You can see the blog post here...

http://marionsmithdesigns.blogspot.com/2013/08/blog-post_28.html#comment-form

Here is my take on the Altered Book Challenge...

I used (Nirvana) Marion's new paper collection....

Here are some pics of the altered  book...hope you enjoy...

I first started painting the book with gesso..

glued tissue paper (wrinkled) down on the whole book.

Then started dripping Distress re-inker Pumice Stone all over the cover...

using a very wet paint brush helps the ink to run.

Once dried I started using some of my fav glimmer mist

 by Tattered Angels...in Graphite and Raven.

sealing with Claudine Hellmuth Studio

Multi-medium matte gel.

don't forget to aged the book pages as well...

Altered Cover

I took a few papers of the Nirvana collection and ran them through

an embossing folder.

Tore some pieces and inked the edges...glue them down.

Took some stucco/gesso mixture added some texture

with a Prima mask-damask.

splatted with more glimmer mist.

Went into my stash and found bits and pieces...

Petaloo flowers, Tim Holtz metal flowers and gear die cuts,

 Dusty Attics chipboard.

Cut out piece of the Nirvana papers to use as

 handmade chipboard embellishments.

Tim Holtz grungeboard letters...colored with glimmer mist..

white paint..

more close ups...

The Whatevers Creative Storytelling

 Here is the coolest challenge I have decided to take part in, what a fun creative way to practice my mixed media art skills (which I am a beginner).

Make sure you save and print out this photo for the first challenge (challenge starts on the 15th of the month).

 Here is my creative mixed media journal, created out of paper lunch bags and chipboard covers.

I trimmed off the bottoms of paper bags, stitched them on my sewing machine-used my bind-it-all.

The Chair

Floyd and Vyola you sit still for goodness sake, this will only take a second said Aunt Catherine.
But to Floyd it seemed like a life time...
With his little fingers gripping the edge of that uncomfortable smelly old chair.
Who said I wanted to sit with a bow flying high over my head. Soon
Vyola pushing her arm against Floyd's-I don't want to you to sit with me either.

Here is how it works if you want to play along:
■Vicki, Cat and Nathalie have made a one-year commitment to each other and picked twelve photos with Whatevers whom we will give a story.
■Every month – if possible always on the 15th – each of us will do a post with an individual story that goes along for us with the same photo.
■If you want you can play along and we will have the photo for you – just right click on it to safe it to download and show us your version of The Whatevers.
■There is no rules to the story itself- it can be funny, sad, uplifting, breathtaking- WHATEVER
■There is no rules on the length or the form of the story- it can be a short sentence, an essay, a poem or a soap opera – WHATEVER
■There is no rules on the artform you choose – it can be a scrapbook layout, an altered art project, an artjournal page – WHATEVER
■Here is a rule though: if you take the photo you have to link back to us andshow us your story.
■These pictures are from our personal stash and are for personal use for you only! If you want to use them for a publication whether a book or magazine in print or digital form please ask for permission!
