Mixed media canvas

Hello Everyone! Monika here with a new juicy inspiration for you. I used this time Floral Fantasy, Word Blocks and Light and Sound Borders to create colourful, mixed media canvas. In the center of my canvas I placed lilac stamp from Floral Fantasy set.
I also stamped doily stamp from the same set using StazOn Gothic Purple ink and I coloured them with Distress Inks.

I used some IndigoBlu English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paints: Wimberry Pie,

Cinderella, Townhouse Teal and the newest colours Marshmallow and my favourite Mulberry Bush.

Megaflakes Watercolour Resist | Clean and Simple Card

Hello Everyone and Welcome! Ksenija is here today and I am sharing a project featuring the Chemistry Lab stamp set from the latest IndigoBlu release.

Today's post demonstrates a Clean and Simple card made with Mega Flakes resist technique and watercolour crystals.

I started with stamping repeatedly molecules from Chemistry Lab stamp set with Flitterglu down onto a cardstock panel and covering the impressions with Chariot of Fire Mega Flakes.

Having removed the excess of Mega Flakes, I applied clear water to the panel with a brush and sprinkled three different tones of watercolour crystals. To enhance the colouring I gradually added more crystals and sprayed the panel with clear water to dilute crystals. When the colouring became saturated, I dried the panel with a heat tool. Notice, that golden Mega Flakes resist watercolour and create a gorgeous contrast with blue and green colours stains.

I inked the sentiment from Chemistry Lab stamp set with Jet Black StazOn and stamped it down onto the panel.

Black cardstock makes a perfect base for such a bright panel. I decided to add a little texture to the base and heat embossed a partial impression of a sound wave from Light and Sound Borders stamp set in clear embossing powder.

To assemble the card I glued the panel to the card base overlapping slightly the embossed sound wave.

I hope you enjoy this project of mine and I inspired you to use Megaflakes resist with watercolours.

Take the Moment Card

Hello Everyone and Welcome! Ksenija is here today and I am sharing a project featuring several new products from the latest IndigoBlu release.

Again I created an encouraging card using several brand-new stamps and new English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paints.

I commenced with stamping Elsie image down in grey archival ink to an oval die cut of rustic paper, distressing the edges with the scissors and Distress inks in Pumice Stone and Old Paper, as well as stencilling some stripes through IndigoBlu mask Texture.

I coloured Elsie's face lightly with Distress markers and moved on to the card panel creation.

I stamped Rain Droplets onto a kraft card panel with brown archival ink and applied Gee-Sso Good! randomly. When Gesso has dried completely, I stamped Anemone from Colour Me series in the upper left corner, the beautiful waves from Light and Sound Borders stamp set in the middle and the trees from Grand Tour III set with black archival ink.

To mask straight borders of the Anemone square stamp I randomly applied texture paste through Texture stencil, removed the mask and sprinkled the pattern with bright yellow embossing powder. When the paste has dried, I heated it until the embossing powder melted.

I watered down new acrylic paints in Lemon Meringue and Marshmallow, coloured the Anemone and the card panel here and there.

To finish the card I heat embossed the sentiment from Floral Fantasy in white embossing powder and cut just several words out. To assemble the card I glued the kraft panel to a rustic card base with a liquid adhesive, taped the oval with a foam tape and glued the sentiment.

I hope you enjoy this project of mine and I inspired you to mix different stamps from the latest IndigoBlu release.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Weird Science...Beautiful Mind

Hello, Kay Molyneux here. I'm so pleased to share this canvas board using the Weird Science Series of stamps. It started out as a part completed project that's been in my craft room for ages. It was going to be a portrait meadow scene, the grasses had been applied using texture paste and paper shapes but I had a brain wave - turn it to landscape and paint it all over with white Gee-Sso-Good gesso mixed with a little black.

To add some colour, English Cottage Artist's Acrylic Paint Burning Bonfire was mixed with the new Slap-It-On Gloss giving a lovely orange glaze and the same was done with Cinderella both were painted as shown and also used to give some paint splatters.

The Periodic Table of Elements and images from A5 Light and Sound Borders and A5 Chemistry Lab sets were stamped with StazOn on to tissue paper, torn out and applied using Slap-It-On Matt.

The butterflies were made by stamping the Calculus with white Gee-Sso-Good gesso onto IndigoBlu Black Stamping Card then over stamping with the butterfly images using FlitterGlu and applying Copper Kettle Mega Flakes.

The test tubes from Chemistry Lab were stamped onto acetate and coloured from behind and mini glass bottles were filled with beads, paint and Mega Flakes and labelled from the Periodic Table of Elements stamp applied with Slap-It-On Matt.

Sentiments from the Chemistry Lab and A5 Beautiful Mind sets were stamped onto kraft card and cut out and some beakers from Chemistry Lab were stamped onto shrink plastic, these were added to the canvas. These were used to frame the little girl studying from the A6 Lost Family Mixed Media Paper Pack.

I do hope this has inspired you to play with the fabulous Weird Science Series stamps!

Until next time,
Kay M
