Easter is Coming!
Posted in Cards, Mixed Media Monthly Challenge, Uncategorized with tags All Night Media Stamps, Cards, Easter, Mixed Media Monthly Challenge, Pebeo Acrylic, Personal Impressions Stamps, Ranger Archival Ink on March 22, 2016 by craftytrogI decided to re-vamp some Easter cards I made back in 2014, by adding some orange stamped crosses and a sentiment. The background was brayered with some bright Pebeo paints, and the stamps are by All Night Media and Personal Impressions.
I can’t believe it’s nearly Easter, it’s too cold! Roll on Spring!
I’m linking my cards to The Mixed Media Monthly Inspiration Photo Challenge.

PaperArtsy Challenge – Art Dolls
Posted in Cards, PaperArtsy Challenge, Uncategorized with tags Buttons, PaperArtsy, PaperArtsy Glazes, PaperArtsy Hotpick Stamps, PaperArtsy Infusions, PaperArtsy Ink and the Dog stamps on March 20, 2016 by craftytrogI had to make a card with one of PaperArtsy’s Ink and the Dog Doll images before the Art Doll challenge finished. I love this quirky image from the Dolls 1 set. I couldn’t resist adding a few contrasting buttons.
I also used some of the fabulous new Hotpicks, and I finally had a play with the new PaperArtsy Infusions. I used A Bit Jaded, The Sage, and Emerald Isle with some PaperArtsy Metallic Glaze. Hopefully you can see the shimmer below.
Happy Sunday everyone!

Still Life
Posted in Canvases, Uncategorized, Wanderlust 2016 with tags canvas art, Golden Acrylic paint, Wanderlust 2016 on March 18, 2016 by craftytrogI’m still working through Kasia’s paint exercises for week 11 of the Wanderlust Class.
She showed us how to create a still life, using a colour mixed with white, black and green, thus creating light and dark shades. I used Golden heavy body ultramarine blue as my colour, mixing it with titanium white, mars black and permanent green light.
This is the actual vase…
Here’s my painting. I decided to leave out the detail, to make it easier. I painted my vase on a Gelli print background.
Kasia also showed us how to paint an impasto style apple, using a palette knife. I painted my apple on another Gelli print background, and used Golden naphthol red light, permanent green light, mars black, titanium white and some hansa yellow medium. I love the texture!
I’m linking up with Paint Party Friday.
Happy Friday!
