Bavarian Blue Butterfly Card for Lindy's

Hello, its Kerry here again and this time I am sharing a card that features 3 of the beautiful NEW Magical Shakers.  There are 10 fabulous colors available and they really are FABULOUS and one of the best things about them is they can be purchased individually so these are affordable for EVERYONE!!

 

First, I stamped on some watercolor paper with black Archival ink, this will just add a little interest to my paper.

 

 

I colored one piece using Bavarian Blue and Polka Purple Magical Shakers.

 

The second piece was colored with Bavarian Blue and Guten Tag Teal Magical Shakers.

 

The colored pages were cut or torn and layered on top of each other, then I adhered gimp and lace along the edges.

 

Add stickles, glass glitter and microbeads for some serious sparkle.

 

Using Polka Purple and Guten Tag Teal Magical Shakers, create a little puddle of color by adding some of the powder to a small amount of water, then you can use the Magicals like paint. I have painted the frame using this technique.

 

I have added some gauze behind my frame and a butterfly on top.

 

I added a few gems, you can never have too much bling :)

 

And there we have it!

You can watch the whole process in the video below, thanks for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

Grateful Heart Journal Page for Artified

Hello!  Its my turn to share my project from the 'Mini Kit' for Artified. I am not usually a minimalist and usually have everything but the kitchen sink on my pages but for this project I wanted to stick with the products from the kit adding only a couple of other basic supplies to the project.  Once I wrapped my head around that, it was actually a quick and easy page. Inside the box we had:

Water Colour Paper

Deli Paper

Stabilo All Pencil

Crafters Workshop Life Shapes 6x6 stencil

Ceramcoat Acrylic Paint in Sunkissed Coral

To start my page I took the stencil, Deli paper and the Sunkissed Coral paint and stenciled some 'stripes' onto the deli paper, I wanted some contrast so I did the same using Black Archival ink.

 Once the paint was dry I cut the Deli Paper into strips to resemble 'washi tape'  

  I then took the Watercolor paper and cut it in half.  I sprayed the paper heavily with water and added a little of the paint to the left side and also just the middle on the right side with a sponge and then randomly added my Deli Paper 'washi' strips.

 I painted over the strips with a thin coat of white Gesso and once dry took the Stabilo pencil and drew around the edges of the strips.  I activated the pencil with a little water and used my finger to blend the lines a little. I also added a little scribbly journaling for interest.

I scribbled onto my craft mat with the pencil and added some water, then using a paintbrush I picked up a little of the 'grey' colour to add some small splatters to my page.

I drew a heart onto the piece of leftover watercolor paper, cut it out and then painted it with the Sunkissed Coral Paint adding Black Archival Ink around the edges for definition.

 I have popped the heart up onto a little foam tape and added a 'Chit Chat' sticker to finish off.
