"You are Amazing" Canvas Board Layout for the 13arts Challenge - May, 2022

Hi my friends!  I went completely outside my comfort zone for my project for the 13arts challenge this month.  I made a layout titled "You are Amazing" on a 9" x 12" canvas board that I covered in black gesso. 

This is a picture of my cat Crimson when she was younger. To achieve the proper tone and hue of red in the challenge board, I had to get creative! I used fluid matte medium mixed with "Antique Copper" PearlEx, added a pinch of fluid acrylic paint in "Crimson", then a bit of Shimmerz "Truffle" Spritz.

Here is the 13arts mood board for May, 2022:

For a more complete list of products, you can check out the bottom of my blog entry.

First I used some matte gel medium to attach some papers randomly in the background. Next, I used the 13arts "Damask" stencil with modeling paste then put a ton of Ranger Distress Crackle Texture Paste randomly over the canvas board. I painted three Blue Fern Studios' Lillies using a mixture of 13arts "Pearl Scarlet" Ayeeda Mist and Shimmerz "Truffle" Spritz with white gesso on the tips.

The long piece of rose chipboard is the 2Crafty Chipboard Rose Vine Border, and I painted it dark brown then embossed it with Blue Fern Studios "Pure Red" embossing powder then a second time with Ranger's Ultra Thick Embossing Powder "Clear". The small taupe flowers and small pink flowers are from Little Birdie.

Behind the picture is some 13arts "Rose Fields Collection" Elements as matting.  The title is a 13arts sticker from the "Secret Letters Collection".

Here is a closeup of the top right corner of the canvas board where you can get a good look at the white USArtQuest Mini Prills that I sprinkled near the chain pieces.

Finally, you can see the cute feathers from Wild Orchard Crafts and the cardboard piece I put behind the layers for my picture. To finish the canvas board, the last thing I did was went around the edges with Ranger's "Black Soot" Distress Ink Pad.

I hope you enjoyed this project, and I will see you next time.

"Escape" Layout - Lindy's Stamp Gang Challenge for May, 2022

Hello friends.  I have a layout to share today for the Lindy's Stamp Gang Challenge for May titled "Escape".  You can view all additional information for the challenge on the Lindy's Blog.

Here is the challenge board for the month:

To get the bright blue color, I had to get creative and improvise with my Lindy's products and add them together in a Ranger Mini Mister.  In the mister, I added LSG Midnight Rendervous Raven Starburst Spray, LSG Sassy Sapphire Magical, and a touch of a 13arts Ayeeda Mist in Pastel Cobalt. For the bright pink, I used the LSG Pretty in Pink Pink Starburst Spray. You can visit the Lindy's online store here.  Here is a picture of the Lindy's products I used:

Since I just recently got back into creating, I used what I had on hand from years ago.  A full list of products used can be found at the end of this blog entry.  Here are some closeups:
