Sparkle and Shine with Finnabair

Hello,

I decided to enter this canvas for Finnabair challenge: Sparkle and Shine. She and her design team is the inspiration every day. I created this sparkly canvas using gems and silk acrylic, purchased during the workshop with Finnabair. Gems and acrylic silk are my basic when I working with mix medias...

 I would never think, I get into Mix Media, but after the workshop with Anna, it's just all about mix media in my studio.

Est. 1997: Canvas for Scrap Around the World

Hello (crafty) friends,

This this I went big! I had this beautiful picture in my drawer for several years and I wanted to do something special with it, and yesterday was the day. Voila!

A canvas with a lot of gesso, sprays, gelatos etc.

My inspiration was coming from the mood board of Scrap Around the World:

Seeing that you can't resist to play along, right?

I am not quite comfortable with this kind of pink, but turquoise-oh yeah!

I surprised my hubby with the canvas after he came home from his bus trip!

You probably recognize on the canvas who taught me the technique, of course Finnabair!

``celebrate SNOW``

Happy hellos,

I am back at the end of the year with this gorgeous mood board from Scrap Around the World. Seeing the work of the design team and the winners, one just have to scrap with them along! very inspiring! I couldn't`t resist to use the colors: my fave combo turquoise-red-and beige!

Of course a lot of gesso, spraying etc.
This pic was taken by -25 degrees C in Alberta, where we recently move from South Africa. Imagine the shocker! Kids adjusted in no time to the cold, but we grown-up still working on it!

Thanks for taking look at my ``celebrate SNOW`. I appreciate every warm word to this snowy layout!

Christmas card... inspired by Runway Inspired Challenge

Hello,
you won't see anything else on my blog until December but Christmas cards. This time inspired by Runway Inspired Challenge no.71 (in memory of Oscar de la Renta). I had a hard time to choose a dress for inspiration, because each one is just gorgeous. Pity, none of them can be a part of my wardrobe ;0)

Thanks for your visit,
