Time... - for A.B.studio

Hej!

Dzisiaj mam dla Was pracę z najnowszej kolekcji AB studio - "Behind closed doors". Papiery trafiły w moje ręce wczoraj i nie mogłam się powstrzymać, żeby szybko nie przygotować z nimi jakiegoś projektu. Ta kolekcja ma świetny, starociowy charakter, mnóstwo ciekawych, tajemniczych elementów, piękne tagi i zegary do wycinania. Ciężko się od niej oderwać.

Hello!

Today I have for you an artwork from the latest AB studio collection - "Behind closed doors". I got papers yesterday and I could not resist to make something with them very quickly. This collection has a great, vintage character, lots of interesting, mysterious elements, beautiful tags and clocks to cut.

Przygotowałam kompozycję na tablicy malarskiej, wzbogacając tło piękną tekturką, również z AB studio. Takie duże, tekturowe elementy są jednymi z moich ulubionych. Same w sobie są bardzo ozdobne, doskonale wzbogacają tło projektu, wystarczy niewiele, aby dopasować je do każdego projektu. Ja użyłam tutaj farb Liquid Acrylics, które mają bardzo intensywne kolory i są permanentne. Jednak tekturki są tak wdzięcznym produktem, że da się je pomalować praktycznie wszystkim, co sobie wybierzecie. 

I made the composition on a painting board, enriching the background with beautiful chipboards, also from AB studio. Such large elements are one of my favorites. They are very decorative in themselves, they perfectly enrich the background of the project, you don't need to make a lot to match them to each project. I used Liquid Acrylics paints here, which have very intense colors and are permanent. However, cardboard is such a grateful product that you can paint it with everything you choose.

Rusty fish

Hello!

This project I made for my home. I really like marine decorations and I think it will look great on my wall. I used Sizzix Texture Fades Embossing Folder "Lumber" and Finnabair rust pastes to make this planks background.

Art Alchemy - Liquid Acrylics

For this month Art Recip,e I've made this bright tag. It does not have many embellishments. The most important thing for me here is the background on which I glued several resin stars from the moulds. I painted the whole with white gesso and then I added color with liquid acrylic paints. During painting, I used a lot of water. I sprayed the paints to achieve the watercolor effect. 

When the paint dried, I used gesso again to accentuate all the edges and details. Finally, it's time for glitter. I glued it with a soft gel and left it to dry thoroughly. I wanted to hide the glitter a little bit using white gesso, so that its glow gently pierced through the white layer. Thanks to this, it better suits the entire project.

I hope you feel inspired and try to make something for our challenge!

Colorful tags with Liquid Acrylics

Hello,

Today I have two tags for you, with lots of layers and details. Most of the items come from a special box on my desk, where I put in various things, leftovers from other projects. You definitely have such a box! :) I found in it, among others, resin castings - which were painted black gesso and covered with different colors of waxes.

However, first and foremost, I wanted to show you how universal liquid acrylics are. I used them here almost like watercolors. I lightly diluted them and painted the background of my tags. The paints are beautifully combined, creating smooth transitions, great help is spraying with water. Remember that you have to act quickly, because the paints are permanent after drying and you will not do anything with them anymore, the water will not work. Exactly you can see it on my video, at the bottom of this post.

To make the background more interesting, I also used new stamps - Old Paper Work. I stamp them with brown ink to better blend into the background. With the same color of ink, I distressed the edges.

I completed my tags with matching photos and sentiments from the Art Daily collection, they fit always and everywhere. It was my cherry on top.

The compositions are very simple and I encourage you to create such projects. Play with products on such small forms, it gives a lot of fun!
