Everyone has a story - mixed media canvas for Finnabair CT

Hello, this is my new project for Finnabair Creative Team.

This time I set off feeling like making something with a fresh, modern feel, using strong, bright colors. And as you will see in the video below, it started quite well. But at some point my work somehow turned into a path called "vintage". ;) I think it's all because of these amazing Vintage Collectibles Ephemera pictures, I love to work with them! They look so authentic, I always have the feeling that I create projects using real family photos.

In this project, I used some recycled stuff. First of all, I took leftovers from chipboards and made a background. And then it was enough to add colors with Mica Powders and Art Alchemy paints, and I was able to create a glamorous, rich background.

I also found in my junk box some transparent plastic circles. I stamped them with some Vintage Vanity 'Book' text stamp. You have to use permanent ink for that, e.g. StazOn ink. It works great on smooth surfaces. I encourage you to come up with and make your own embellishments - they will be unique and add a very personal touch to your artworks.

You know how much I love layers. So also in this project I couldn't resist and I created a dimensional, 'piled up' composition. I used papers and add-ons from 7 Dots Studio. All separated with pieces of cardboard. I don't like to use foam tape - as I use the heat tool all the time, when in contact with high temperature, the foam tape tends to fall off.

I'd like to encourage you to reach for the photos that truly speak to you.Each of them carries an inspiring story which makes it so easy to make a special art piece and adds a unique charm to your creations.

Please enjoy my video and if you have any questions, don't hesistate to ask.

Hello Friends!

It's time for my new project for Finnabair Creative Team.

Today I'd love to show you how amazing are the new Art Alchemy acrylic paints. I made a new video tutorial so that you can see how great it is to be working with these paints.

I used them to create a background on white cardstock. The Art Alchemy paints are permanent and waterproof so you can use any water-based medium and nothing will happen to your background.

Supplies list you can find on Finnabair blog, and at the bottom of this post - video tutorial.

Our everyday life - Finnabair CT Art Recipe

It's time for a new Finnabair Creative Team Art Recipe on Prima Marketing blog! 

Please visit blog to watch beautiful creations from the other girls. And there is mine :)

The painted heart is the focus point of my background. For this heart I used the new & amazing Art Alchemy Acrylic Paints - Royal Red and Steampunk Copper. Next, I created some texture using Light Paste with a stencil. To add the colors, I made sprays mixing Mica Powders with water.

I mixed Art Stones with 3D Matte Gel and glued them in several places on my project. After drying I covered it all with White Gesso and added colors with Mica Powder mists. At the end I thinned Black Gesso with a little bit of water and made some splashes.

Thank You!
