Easter Magnolia-licious Blog Hop

Hello everyone and Happy Easter from all of us at the Magnolia-licious Challenge Blog!!

  We are having a Easter Blog Hop for you today!

If you have hopped over to me from the talented  Karen Gauthier  then you are on the right track, if not please check back at the Magnolia-licious Blog for the complete list of our design team.

I have a used a bird cage from Prima and Finnabar's Art Alchemy paint to make the cage a metallic green gold color but keeping the shabby feel of it. Prima Frameworks birdcage came with the ceramic bird so I painted it with a few of the Art Alchemy paint colors. 

The background paper is from Pions latest collection Easter Greetings, gorgeous paper!  I also paper mache it on the eggs also.  Then I painted over them with the Art Alchemy paint.

My image is the sweet and sassy Ballerina Bunny Tilda and the Mini Two Egg stamp.  They are both colored with Distressed Inks and stickles for a little shine. 

The Art Alchemy paints turn color depending on the background color your item has. The shabby gray parts turned purple while the antique white turned green gold. I love them.  My Easter decor item is on my dining room table, something I will use for every Easter.

The next talented designer on the Hop is.......

All Because I Love You

Hello my friends,

I am taking a break after trying to do my taxes with Quickbooks online, that way I won't loose it in a fire, hahaha.  One year ago was our fire and looking back I think we did pretty well.  I always think a tragedy big or small changes people and it is our choice to make it a positive change.

 For a while now I have been yearning to make home decor pieces instead of purchasing them, because I had all this Prima stuff that was calling my name I made this canvas.

This is a 12x12 artists canvas from Micheals and after gesso I used Finnabairs honeycomb stencil and  3D Gloss Gel by Finnabair to make the background texture.  After it dried I painted on Dusty Attics paints in Mountain Meadow and Chocolate.  Then I mixed Soft Gloss Gel with Mica powders and Artisian Powder from Prima, copper, deep water, pale silver,  and LaChapeleier, (which is on pre-order) and to top it all off I swirled Dusty Attics Crackle medium all over the top of the canvas.  Quickly I dropped Prima Copper Microbeads and Turquoise Glass Beads onto the wet background and let it all dry.

I chose 3 Dusty Attic Chipboard pieces, a thin wood board with a floral pattern in it from a friend and gessoed them all.  Then I lightly coated them with the Prima Mica powders until I was happy and then lightly brushed on Golden Cadium Red Medium Hue mixed with Copper Mica powder to created a rustic red color.

The heart is a clear acrylic piece with gold writing that someone had given me so I cut around it and super glue gelled it on and then put the pale silver Mica powder around it.

The chipboard arrow is glued to a rustic metal piece that I have had a while. Also are some new  metal products I purchased from Prima Finnabair Mechanicals that are all around the canvas. They had a store at Prima so I was able to get most of the new CHA 2016 things I wanted there.  Once in a lifetime indulgence. lol

Here it is sitting on my metal easel in my kitchen. My hubby just installed this metallic coppery backsplash and so of course I had to make something to compliment it. 

Thank you for stopping in and I hope all those links help you find products.  I am not affiliated with any store but these are the ones that carried all the products I used for my canvas.

Midweek Magnolias Challenge Valentine/Love

Hello my friends!  I have another card to share for the Midweek Magnolias Challenge

VALENTINE/LOVE

My image is from the new collection A Touch of Love called Cloudy Love.  

The front is a frame and I inserted a chipboard die in the middle to suspend Cloudy Love Tilda.   You can see through the frame to the inside paper.  On the outside of the frame I put the flowers and chipboard embellishing.  

Tilda is colored in Copics and I used a accessory stamp from this collection to Frontage mini flowers on the cloud. I like the effect and makes it more fluffy.

Here is the card open, you can see the openness of the front and the pretty heart inside.

Please take a look at my teammates creations at Midweek Magnolias they are amazing.  Thank you for stopping by today and join us to enter a creation to win a prize.

Have a great day,

Kelly
