Hi!

I am very excited to tell you that I have been asked to be in the designer spotlight for the
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog this month!

I am very proud and honoured to join this awesome group of designers for February on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog.

Thanks so much to Lols and the entire SSS team for this wonderful opportunity.

,,Add Some Red''

Since this is the first challenge of the month, it means that the DT projects are featuring products from a specific brand and this month it's Inky Antics . We'd love for you to use any of his products in your work, but it is not required for you to join in.

My take on this challenge is an altered CD.

It is a welcome gift for new neighbours in our community.

You can follow my steps underneath:

The background was made with Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Burlap and Ranger Texture Paste . Next it was coloured with  Faber-Castel 15piece Gelatos Set and I used Perfect Pearls Metallics Kit to stress the colours.
Inky Antics Tiny Houses Clear Stamp Set was used along with Archival Ink Pad Black.
I embossed the tiny heart using Ranger Embossing Powder Red Tinsel with Heat It craft tool.

I hope I have inspired you to create something of your own and join in the challenge this week ,,Add Some Red".

You can find more inspiration from the talented team members over on the challenge blog and every week, one lucky random participant has the chance to win a $50 gift voucher from Simon Says Stamp. You have until Monday 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in and good luck.

Winter Blues

Hi there,
After rather a long break I 'm very happy I can finally share with you my new piece I made as a Guest Designer for Frilly and Funkie
For their current theme ,,Winter Blues" I have prepared a wall hanger.

I was inspired by the look of my bedroom window in frosty winter time.

I started with gathering some materials  and painting the background with acrylic paint.

  

Further work on the background including stenciling and stamping.

Adding  more embellishments: inked chipboards and resin clock, die cuts and sparkling gems.

The quotes came from Tim Holtz stickers.

Christmas Day

Today I want to share with you a fridge magnet I made to decorate my kitchen.
I have used a small (6x17 cm) wooden box  and altered it with gesso, modeling paste, artificial snow, 3D balls and glitter.
Hope you like it!

Warm Wishes

Zainspirowana wyzwaniem na blogu art-piaskownica, gdzie tematem są
mixed media- spękania  ozdobiłam drewniany domek.
Najpierw nałożyłam w kilku miejscach pastę strukturalną i pomalowałam czarną farbą akrylową.
Użyłam preparatu Weathered Wood Americana do tworzenia spękań, następnie całość pomalowałam srebrną farbą akrylową.
Dodałam w kilku miejscach Crackle Glaze Deco Art i na zakończenie wtarłam odrobinę pasty pozłotniczej w kolorach srebro i złoto zielone.
Pastami i odrobiną brokatu udekorowałam też bombki-tekturki.

Domek bierze też udział w wyzwaniu Tricks Art- świątecznie.
I am also joining in the challenge at frillyandfunkie where the theme is Tis the Season for Gift Giving.
I made this tiny house for my male friend- grunge style lover!

    

Live Your Dream

Hi there! I am so glad I can join in the challenge at Try it on Tuesday  where the theme is: Family and Friends.
I was inspired by the beautiful makes of my former teamies and decided to frame the picture of my only granddaughter Maya.
Maya has grown up already but it's still one of my favourite photos.

I have used another fish can here and an old cup for a stand - I just love to recycle!

Autumnal Apple

Today I want to share with you an altered glass apple. 

Inspired by lovely pieces I have seen on Paper Artsy blog I decided to use tissue paper and some 3D balls to create extra texture.

The best product to fix it all together was DecoArt Matte Medium.

I have found 3 different sheets of tissue paper in my stash.

First I tried some stamping on them.

Than I tried some painting on the reverse.

That gave me more colours to play with.

The pieces of tissue paper were thorn and glued to the glass. 

The whole thing was covered with  DecoArt Matte Medium on top.

  

To finish my project off  I added some text stamping and I rubbed in some gold and rusty wax.
