Hello everyone.. So Maremi - Marta Lapkowska has this great Creative Cafe on facebook where you can share your love for all things Art, and she started this great challenge where you alter a playing card making this super sweet ATC like treasures. So I wanted to join in because it's a great to explore and expand your own creative boundries. Anyways.. I starting at the end of the line, not with the first card with the letter A, but with letter H... And H is for Hummingbirds..
So as an additonal twist I thought.. why don't I do a video tutorial of every card I make? Hopefully I will make all 52 cards.. that means 52 videos.. Here's my card:
The card is made out of Prima's Alphabet Cards and is the same size as playing cards. I've used a image transfer technique to transfer the bird witch I found on pintrest. I can't draw if my life depended on it.. and used watercolors to color the bird.. You can watch the whole proccess in the video below.
I will have to play "catch up" to get caught up from A-G so hopefully there will be some more videos in the next weeks or soo.. could be months too... let's not rule anything out..
So there you have it, my first card for the challenge. :) Hope you liked my tutorial and thank you for visiting my blog today! Have a great creative day!
Every month I'm up on the Artists Live Ustream Channel and I re-create a project in a Live free class. The show airs every monday at 20.00 CET. This time, I made a Crescent Moon Dreamcatcher using a whole range of Finnabair's mixed media projects.
Using an embroidery hop for my dreamcatcher circle and loads of ribbons, Sandra Evertson Relics to put together this 6" Dreamcatcher.
I used Finnabair's black gesso, white gesso, Soft matte gel, Art Stones and Mini Art Stones to make the insides of the dreamcatcher. Everything is colored with the Oil Pastels from Prima. Would you like to see who I made this, you can watch the recording of the show.
Remember this is just a recording of the show so there will be some interaction with the audience watching on the day it's recorded.
I just love the Sandra Evertson Relics and Artifacts and have worked a bit with them these past months. I painted these with black gesso and added oil pastels to color and finished off with Viva Decor - Inka Gold - Old Silver. The ribbon is colored with Color Bloom - Deep Teal, Tea Stain and White Frost.
The moon is die-cutted out of the crescent moon and stars dies from Tim Holtz. Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today.. would love to hear what you think about my dreamcatcher. Have a great Valentine's Day! - Yasmin
Hi again sweethearts! Back again today to share with you a layout I made with the new collection from Prima "Love Clippings". I really like this collection.. It's so cute!
I made this layout at a crop this last weekend. We do these 1 hour challenges. This 1 hour challenge was all about romance. So you had to include a heart and the color red. It was so many awesome things made at that challenge, and this was what I entered with.
I really love this background paper as it doesn't really need a lot of background work, that's done for you. BUT, I did add some stenciling and modeling paste to add a bit of texture in the background. I splattered alot with Color Blooms and added some stamping.
Do you spot the playing cards in the background? Those are Prima goodies as this whole layout is actually mostly Prima things. I love flowers and I used a whole pack on this layout. Love to make a lot of layers on my layot.. This is no exception.
This is one of my favorite photos from last year. Me and my hubby at the top of the Urquhart Castle in Scotland. I really enjoy the time we had together there. I love my husband so much. He's my soul mate.
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!
Hello my sweets! My scrapping is moving along slowly but I finally made something for the Flying Unicorn with the September Kit. The kit was so beautiful with all these lovely autumn colors and Prima's marvellous Rossibelle Collection.
I manily used the kit, but I also added some elements from my own stash, like the straws and the Prima playing cards witch is my new favorite.. they are just soo awesome!
I fuzzy cut loads of elements out of the Rossibelle papers. I also added some layers cut out from the different papers in the collection. I used modeling paste in the background. I added some of the flowers and some twine. I painted and splashed a bit with some Colorbloom and dylusions white.
There's a new kit for sale in just a couple of days. Make sure to get yours while you can. They are limited :)
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and make sure to come back tomorrow. I will have another share for you. Hugs!
Hello! Saturday the 11th of June I did my second live show ever on Flying Unicorn Ustream channel! I used the June Flying Unicorn Kit to create a Mixed Media style tag.
The papers on this are Salvage Distric from Prima, Flowers are new petaloo flowers and I've also used wooden embellishments from Prima. Here's the kit I played with:
Here's the tag I made:
This is my oldest Son.. He turns 12 this year.. Time flies so fast. If you'd like to see how I made this tag. Please take a look at the recording here:
Don't you just love the shine of those flowers? The Opal Magic is fantasic and gives the flower and the tag a gorgeous shine.
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today and I hope you liked my tag. Since I now have 2 of these tags Felix has one in his room as well :)
Hi all! I have to say I'm so lucky to get to be a Prima Educator and in a couple of weeks I will teach my first Prima Classes as well. I'm up on the Prima Blog with a layout made after this months Prima Build-a-page Sketch. So honored!
Here's this months gorgeous sketch made by Riikka Kovasin:
Here's my take on the sketch:
I've played with LOADS of the new Prima stuff that's just come out to stores, The Papes are Vintage Emporium, and so is the flowers as well. I've used the new Finnabair Barn Stars (LOVE THEM) and used a Prima steel die to make a doily.
Would you like to see how I made this? I did a tutorial video as well:
The background I've used two diffrent stencils, stamps and watercolor confections. The title is from 13@rts. Loads of micro beads and splashing with Color blooms.
I have too laugh.. This photo of Finnley is priceless, he has stolen the powdered vanilla sugar and of course tasted it. He is a little rascal always roaming through my kithen drawers. Thank God for ducktape!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog today, and make sure to stop by the Prima blog to join in the BAP challenge and see more inspiration! :)
