Imagine the world full of magic

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here and I welcome you to read my new December post.
I made a new card not for any Holiday, but just as my artistic tribute to things that we usually forget about during our busy daily life. One of this things is imagination. We just don't have time  or energy to imagine things that are out of our regular range.
And this is a time to craft something magical and to imagine that it might be real. 

  

So as you can see I made this Mixed Media card with the most adorable Magenta  Fairy Tale Silhouette stamp and the background was made with one of the newest Magenta stencils.

My background was made with texture paste over the stencil and I also added a thin layer of Crackle Glaze over the edges.Then when it was dry I added Distress Oxide inks over the whole background and die cut the oval.
Then the fairy image was stamped with blue pigmented ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder over another, just the same, die cut oval.

This stamped oval was glued into the die cut negative space that was made in the background.

The word Imagine was stamped, die cut and colored in the same way and glued over the card.

Card made with a lot of love

Hello my dear crafty friends!
Irit is here today and also everything around is about Christmas and Holidays, I decided to make something just for love.
So this card is all about  my love for flowers, my love for water colours and my love for great Magenta stamps and stencils.

This light Mixed Media card was made with one single Magenta stamp as my focal point.
The stamp was stamped with black pigmented ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder.
Then it was coloured with Zig watercolour brushes inside the stamped image.
The outside colour was added using Distress oxide inks and water spray.
As it was still pretty mush bare outside of the image I added circles using Magenta ....... stencil with clear Gel Medium. The circles are almost non seen, but you can feel them and see them a bit on the close- up photo here:

And here is this card from the side:

I added a few black mist splashes around and the die cut sentiment.
The black background, black splashes and black sentiment added more interest to this cool colours card.

Resin covered bookmarks tutorial

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my October tutorial made with Rebecca Baer's delicious stencils.

Also I already made a couple of bookmarks before (I am a book worm, so this is my must to craft item), but this time the technique is different and I made them over simple kitchen  foil and covered with a layer of resin to make it like forever.

So here are the steps for this project:

1.  Make three strip of a chipboard in bookmark size and cover them around with a kitchen foil. Use Heavy gel medium (I used Golden, but any heavy gel medium is good) with Rebecca Baer Mosaic Medium size stencil over the all three pieces together. Let the gel medium dry and it takes TIME! 

This is how it looks after you take the stencil off- gel medium is still white. But after it's dry it becomes pretty much clear.

3. Use a few of your favorite Staz On inks over the texture. Just rub them over and over and you can also mix some of the primary colors to make more colors. Those inks are perfect for  non paper surface.

5. Add a thin layer of Gaze On medium over the colored pieces.

This medium  was made to make Staz On ink permanent no matter what. Let it dry.

6. There are no photos of resin filling step as I had to work without moving the covered pieces to the light to take photos. But it's just " mix resin according to instructions and the brand and cover the colored bookmarks from the front. Do not touch them for 24 hours. Now make another portion of resin mix and cover the back side and let them dry for another 24 hours."

Use your hole punch (heavy duty one) to make holes on the top  of the bookmarks and tie a piece of lace or ribbon on the top. 

You can't see it , but  those bookmarks look and feel like a piece of glass and you can still see all stenciled texture.

Dare to dream art page tutorial

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new tutorial.
This is single art page made with a lot of mediums and this time I used Faber Castell DMC products as my mediums and Rebecca Baer stencils  and a lot of Mixed Media page.

 Step by step tutorial:
1. Make the background over thick white cardstock with Faber Castell gelatos and wipe the colors with baby wipe.
I made rectangles with those colors, some are metallic colors and then blended them all together without adding any water.

2.Use Rebecca Baer stencils- two of them- with modeling paste  over the watercolored page.
You may secure the stencils with washi tape as shown.

This is  how this page looks  without the stencils and it's still wet. 

3.Cover the main circled areas with a thick layer of Faber Castell DMC Glaze Medium, also I used Texural Accent Sampler. Add a few more smaller circles on the " empty areas"  as shown for more interest.

4.Add a thick layer of clear glitter over the glazed circles as shown.

5 Wait till all previous mediums are totally dry. Now let the fun begin! Cover the entire page with a thin layer of Faber Castell DMC Chalkboard paint. Then wipe the paint over  glazed, embossed, glittered areas with baby wipes. And  also just one wipe  is shown  here, you sure need much  more to get this finished look. And yes, it's totally messy, but worth the result.

6.Stamp Rubber Dance flowers from Antique Botanicals  and  Bold and Beautiful sets with FB DMC   Stampers Big Brush pen in Black over white tissue paper.This is an India ink big pen that works perfectly as an ink over rubber stamps as you can see.

7.Stamp two Rubber Dance Dragonflies - large and small ones-  over clear vellum.

Use clear embossing ink and heat emboss the images with black  embossing powder.

Hand cut the images and color them with FB DMC Pitt Artost  Pens in two  colors and one Stampers Big Brush pen in Light blue.

8. Stamp s few more flowers from Bold and Beautiful set  directly over the page near the edges using the same  black Big Brush.

Now tear the tissue stamped images and glue them as shown with FC DMC Gel Medium.

Outline the largest circle with the pen- this will be our sentiment spot.

9.Let the page be totally dry and them color the tissue  flowers and leaves with a mix of bright colors using FC DMC  Stampers Big brush pens in a few colors.

10. Glue the  vellum dragonflies over the  page using Gel medium.

Make the sentiment with stickers (I used MME ones)

Outline some glitter circles with white  pen as shown.

And here are some close- ups to this art page:
