....our crazy adventure

HOWDY.....thank you for stopping by the UmWowStudio blog today.

I have a fun little project I created.

I was digging around in my 'tovers pile

and found a strip of paper I had created.

I had adhered a piece of burlap to a piece of Kraft paper

and I had stenciled on the paper with

UmWowStudio ~ Wonky Circle Stencils

Seemed like this was a good place to start!

I love trying new things so I pulled out a few of my

new Baked Textures and embossed it onto my "paper"!

When I was done playing with color on my paper

I cut it up into ATC's.

I then pulled out my bag of UmWowStudio pieces parts.

I decided to use the "leftovers" from the

UmWowStudio ~ Home Grown Mash

To make the chippies even better, 

I pulled out a dollop of Modeling Paste and mixed in a bit of

beach sand to add MORE texture.

I repeated the technique using

UmWowStudio ~ Layered Hexagons

I also smeared a bit of the left over "texture" onto the ATC's.

When my newly textured chippies were dry,

I painted them with a bit of Glam

then I gave them a spritz of water to mix the color up.

I put my ATC's together

and adhered them to a piece of barn board.

Here are a few closeups of my ATC's.

To get me back in the groove,

I needed a bit of help with inspiration so I visited

Our Mixed Media Moods

I LOVE the beach theme and the BEAUTIFUL colors.

As I pondered the mood board, I decided I wanted to create ATC's

so I chose to focus on the colors first.

I pulled out a piece of 7 Dots Studio ~ Palmistry paper

from the Fortune Teller collection.

I mixed up a concoction of

Gesso, High Impact Paint and Glimmer Glam

and splattered it on the paper surface.

Drying each layer as I went.

Next, I pulled out my UmWowStudio ~ Grid Stencil

and applied various texture mediums through the stencil

randomly on the paper.

When the mediums were dry I used a pipette

to drop a bit of Bronze Mist onto my paper.

Now I had completed "paper" which I cut into 3.5" x 2.5" pieces. 

LOOK at all the wonderful ATC bases I have to work with!

Sticking with the beach theme, I pulled out a piece of

UmWowStudio ~ Netting Background

cut it to size and colored it with a bit of Glam, along with a flower.

Do you see the seaweed looking chippie?

It's my UmWowStudio ~ Leafy Branch

which can look a bit like seaweed.

I colored it with a bit of Glam and then cut it into pieces.

Lastly, I mixed a bit of sand with a smidge of Clear Gesso

to accent my ATC.

I applied the mixture to edges and used it to adhere

the tiny shells.

I used the words for the Fortune teller collect to round out my ATC.

.

I hope you enjoyed my little canvas.....

now I'm off to make more ATC's!!

Adventure Awaits!

Hello and Welcome friends!

 

 

Today I'm sharing a fun layout with photo's of a more whimsical theme - Alice in Wonderland.

I have used lots the gorgeous 'New Nature' UmWowStudio chipboard that I just cannot resist but in a lighter palette for a change....Out with the Goth and in with the whimsy!

 

'Adventure Awaits'

 

 

I love to cover chipboard in crackle paint and then I use various inks to add just hints of colour

and highlight the cracks - to create one of a kind pieces of chipboard.
