Aryia's Garden and Pentart Wax Paste with Katherine

Hello BoBuuny fans, it's Katherine here with a Fine Art's Friday post using Aryia's Garden.  The colours are gorgeous, I focused on the fuchsia and oranges in this line and used a mix of Pentart products to compliment it.

Beautiful Life by Katherine Sutton:

For my base, I used the grey wooden floorboard style paper - Garden Petals.  To add some texture I started with the serenity stencil and texture paste, focusing on the areas around where my photo and embellishment cluster was going to be. Next, I mixed some of my Pentart acrylics. I used a mix of cream, gold and a tiny bit of red acrylic, the gold has a lot of shimmer in it.  I watered my colour mix down and applied it more like a watercolour, creating puddles of colour and then adding in extra bits of red to get a deeper orange area, finally a few flicks of the paint across the page.  The lovely thing about these paints is that even with water you still get the depth of colour.  My final layer before the papers was a little bit of stamping using the It is Written stamp set using black ink.

To create interest in my layers, I added some die-cuts - both the new Royal die-set and 4" Portrait Frames.  I embellished these in different ways - for the Portrait die-cut I added dots of gold pearlescent, and used chameleon green wax on the lock and keys.  The chameleon waxes have a gorgeous iridescent shine to them, they work particularly well on dark colours as it really stands out.  You only need a little bit and just rub it on and you get an instant shimmer - green in my case.  I then layered and distressed my papers.  Once I was happy with the arrangement I then added some of the 3D balls - attaching them with gel-medium and then colouring them with some watered down gold pearlescent.

You can see a cluster of embellishments using a mix of the chipboard and noteworthy pieces as well as one of the die-cut keys which has some wax on it.

A close up of the lock plate die with chameleon wax highlights, and some of the 3D balls covered in gold pearlescent.

For the bottom cluster, my focus piece was one of the 3D chipboards with a fleur-de-lis on it, you can also see the serenity stencil. 

Be sure to stop by again soon!

A Famers Market Fine Arts Friday!

Hey there Peeps and Happy Friday!  I'm excited to share with you my first Fine Art Project created for BoBunny.   I was so inspired by all the lovely mixed media supplies and patterned papers from Farmers Market.  I begged to use a picture my Son and his fiancé  took last week while picking apples and it just seemed like a match made in heaven.

To create the background I added a light wash of watered down Gesso to the Farm Fresh patterned paper. Once it dried I cut it into strips and then into smaller squares. Using gel medium I adhered all the pieces down being careful to arrange them in a random pattern. After I had all the background attached I gave it a coat of Brilliant Blue Pearlescents with the ol finger brush smooshing it around and getting it into all the uneven surfaces.  After allowing it to dry I gave it a spray with Frost and Bronze Glimmer spray.  Additional detail comes from some texture paste and the Brocade Stickable Stencil and the feather created with the Whimsy Stickable Stencil and Frost Glitter Paste.

Inking the edges helps give a defined border and stamping some images from the Rough-It-Up stamp and permanent ink anchors the die cuts and image. These flowers were created with the Farm Fresh paper and treated with the same mixed media supplies, layered with alternate sizes and topped off with blingy accents.

I cut some sweet doilies with the Ornate Doilies Die and added patterned paper and the picture of the kiddos.  A little lace softens the arrangement as does the cheesecloth and loopy twine bow.  I used the same mixed media supplies to alter the Family chippie and secured it to the arrangement.  Last but not least a few sprinkles of Glimmer Spray watered down and flicked on with a paintbrush.

Wishing all of you a happy and productive day with lots of time to be creative  : ) G
