Fabolous - Layout - Guest Designer - Our Mixed Media Moods

I'm so thrilled and over the moon happy about beeing a guest designer for the "Our Mixed Media Moods" facebook group. This group is hosted by the ever so talented DeeDee Catron, the owner of UmWow Studios and Designer of the most awesome 7Dots Studio Paper Collections and "Mixed Media Jenn" - Jenn Engle who has an amazing amount of followers on her youtube channel.

The way this works is that Jenn and DeeDee posts a new moodboard to get our creative juices flowing every month at the 20th. Their inspirational projects comes with a video tutorial. I've been so lucky to be working on the moodboard for february. Let's take a look at it. 

This is what I created with the moodboard: 

I kept to the color scheme using grey, black, teals browns.. This is such a fun photo. My good friend took this of me, her husband and mine when we where in Scotland.. All with our phones, ready to take some turist photos!

Since the "Our Mixed Media Moods" are based on tutorial videos I made one just for this project. Would you like to see how I made this layout? Please take a look at the video.

Just for fun I added the little plastic parts from an old Xbox 360. I also added some gorgeous star confetti from UmWow Studio. They are made of awesome quality. The stars are a direct inspiration from the moodboard. 

Our Mixed Media Moods are working with us ladies at Artists Live this month so please take a look at the other girl's tutorial videos:

Mixed Media Ampersand - Artists Live Show

Hello Hello Everyone!  Today I was up at Artists Live Ustream Show teaching how to recreate this little Ampersand using loads of Prima Products and my new favorite - the Izinks!

I've used a MDF figure and I added loads of fun mixed media techniques using stencils, modeling paste, texture paste and gesso. I also added some Viva decor - Inka Gold on the top of everything.

I added a couple of metal items like the barn stars from Finnabair's collection, rustic gears and a resin frame and of course loads of lovely flowers. If you would like to see how the project was made please check out the recording below.

I really liked making this project.. It's a fantastic gift for a wedding, for a couple of friends. 

The wings on my project are from Tim Holtz with Prima Marketing Barn Stars and Nobs. Isn't the texture amazing? 

Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today! Would love to hear what you think about my project. Hugs!
