You and Me with a bit of UmWowStudio

Happy Saturday and weekend to you! I have a fun little card to share with you that I recently created for UmWowStudio.

I thought it would be fun to create a mixed media card using a mask, a chipboard tag and some flair.  I've also added in other elements like cheesecloth and hemp for texture and interest

I started by using the Damask mask for my background here with some glass bead gel and let it dry.  I then sprinkled a few different mists on and let them pool up and run together a bit. After that, I took a gold mist and lightly misted all over.

There is a chipboard tag from the soar collection on the right, it's been base coated with gesso, then pearlescent pens rubbed on it to create a variegated effect.

I just love our beautiful Flair and used the "You and Me" from The 2 of Us collection as a sentiment for my card.

Road Trip with UmWowStudio!

Happy weekend to you!  I have a fun project to share with you that I created for UmWowStudio featuring the new "Souvenir" collection from BoBunny.

I have a confession, I have some favorite chipboard elements and I was hoarding one of them. Do you ever have a piece or two that you just love like that?

We recently took a family vacation and I wanted to grab a few images that my husband shared on FaceBook.

Road Trip!

The View Finder inspired my page, I decided to add some funky pattern paper to back it so it looked like there was film in it. I coated it with Radiant Rain in Pewter.

One of the Layered Arrows was base coated with cream paint and I stamped an ampersand on it. The Confetti Heart was inked with a Cherry Red Ink.

The Christmas Speech Bubble was used to frame one of my elements.

August Sketch Inspiration with UmWowStudio

Hi there!  I was recently up on the UmWowStudio blog and wanted to share my project here too. Did you know that UmWowStudio has monthly sketches?

Here is my take on the new fabulous August sketch.

Here's what I did with it:

I loved the design and stayed pretty close to it. You'll see a variety of UmWowStudio products on my page. One of my favorites, the Doilies was my starting point, along with the Damask Mask.  I base coated the doily in a pretty cream paint and then touched some Inka Gold for a bit of shimmer.

The sentiment flair was perfect to accent my photo here. On our recent vacation I was able to snap a few sweet candid shots. A love speech bubble was inked with a rainbow ink pad, then rubbed with some more Inka Gold to keep the bit of shimmer.

A few more layers were added with the Soar Tag which I stamped and embossed, then wasn't so happy with the look, so I painted over it. This gave the perfect texture and I left it. A Layered Arrow was coated with a Pearl Pen in Opal.

I had such a wonderful time working with the sketch and our products, I really hope you'll find some time and play along. For all of the details on our August Sketch, check out this post.

Believe Tag with UmWowStudio

Happy Wednesday crafty peeps!  I've got a project to share with you that I created for UmWowStudio. For my project today I decided to go out of my comfort zone.

I created a feminine inspirational tag featuring the relief of the "Believe" sentiment from our Christmas Speech Bubbles chipboard.

"Be You-nique and Believe"

Believe. One of my very good friends always says this to me. It's funny how this one little word can have such a profound and calming impact. When I saw this in the Christmas Speech Bubbles, I knew I wanted to use in as part of the inspirational message on the tag.

Both of my chipboard elements were colored with some Smooch in Lettuce and a touch of Frosted Acadia. To accent the delicate features of the Leaf Stems I added some crystals from Prima in a variety of styles. I love the way the chipboard and flair created their own embellishment cluster!

When I received my Susan K. Weckesser goodies, I knew exactly what photos I wanted to pair with it! We had a really stormy month of June and I captured some rainbows that I thought were the perfect mix with the collection.  The kids had loads of fun talking about the pot of gold at the end of this rainbow!

I used the UmWowStudio Star Confetti Mask and some pearlescent embossing paste that I heat set for a bit of background texture.  For the two Layered Clouds on the right,  I base coated them in Gesso, then sprinkled white embossing powder on them and heat set. A touch of Lindy's Magical's in Tiffany LouBlue was mixed with a touch more gesso to tint them.

The Layered Cloud on the left I used some Art Anthology Stone effects in Bone, then added white embossing powder, heat set and touched a bit more Magicals on it.

I love the way our products work together so beautifully!  Thank you to Susan K. Weckesser for the opportunity to work with your lovely products!!!

My Sweet Story with UmWow Studio

Happy Thursday to you!  I have a fun project to share with you today.  It's my very first project for UmWow Studio. I am super excited to be a part of this very talented team!!!

I was inspired by the Hexagon Background for my page. To begin, I coated it in clear gesso and then misted it with some Moon Shadow Mist, then sprinkled it randomly while wet with Pepper embossing Powder and applied heat to activate the embossing.

Once it dried completely, I flipped it over and used it as a mask to mist onto my background paper. I used TiffanyLou Blue and then set aside to dry.

I selected the Mini Polaroid with a heart relief and colored it with Whale Watch Blue. The heart was later colored in with a Blue Metallic artist pen. The Layered Clouds were misted with Splash Chalkboard mist and Whale Watch Blue. Once dry, I added some Glossy Accents to the layered cloud on the right.

Additional embellishments of enamel dots and sequins helped finish the page. The star theme of my "Life is Good" flair is one of my favorite elements on the page.
