Special Words

I am so happy and honoured to be a  Pinworthy Inspiration at A Vintage Journey today.

Their current theme is Words that are so Special.

This is a piece I prepared for Words That Are So Special Challenge.

I started with transferring the face image with gesso onto a cardboard (18x18 cm).

Next step was adding some texture and stenciling some texture paste. Then came the best part- inking, misting, painting! I also added some stamping, outlining with my Inktense pencil and some sequins to finish off.

I put the picture into wooden frame and added the words:

I am here

I am simply me

I am strong

I am dreaming big

I have been going through really hard times recently and had to face all sorts of problems ( I guess as we all do).

These words remind me of greeting each day with a smile, of looking forward - not back and enjoying life in every minute. 

That is why they are so important to me.

On this day...

It is time to start a brand new challenge over at Try it on Tuesday. 
Let's get messy is our theme this time.
We would like you to have some fun with the theme and use lots of colour, paint, inks etc.
Lots of inspiration by the team as well if you visit TIOT.  

                                

This is  what I came up with! 
That's a mixed media card on a thin canvas background.
Have used a lot of inks and mists along with some paper scraps and micro beads.
Hope you like it!

You make me smile

I love this photo of my dearest granddaughter and just wanted to embellish it a bit.

As always I am sharing a few steps of the progress:

I have used an old heart shaped hanging.

You can see a lot of chipboard pieces glued to the background and covered with gesso. I have also put some texture paste through the stencil.

Starting colouring all with gelatos.

More gelatos and  Ayeeda Mists( 13 arts)

Working on the focal point.
