Sweet November

 

Dear All, 

In my opinion the month of  November is being a bit neglected. 

In September we are busy with the beginning of the new school year, in October there are many festivals and excitement as well. 

On the contrary to this, the 11th month of the year seems to be rather quiet. 

Although this month of Autumn is full of inspiring things. 

The nature looks wonderful at this time of year, the air is fresh and crisp - ideal for an Autumn hike. 

In an album like this we may gather many memories of these experiences - filled with colorful pictures.

They say "All good things come to an End...." and sadly this will be my last post as an 13@rts Designer. I had the best time designing with AmAzing products!!!! Thank you for having my Aida and all the very best to the new Team members....

For this page I used two sheets from the Summer Rhapsody collection. One was used for the background and the other torn and used on the sides. I distressed all the edges and painted them with Black Rainbow Duo mixed with water. Also used Clear Gesso before all the paints. 

I mixed Yellow Amber Rainbow Duo with Modeling Paste and put it through the Vintage Wreath Stencil. 

For the background colour I sprayed the Yellow Amber and Pearl Black mists. I also used Amber Color Glow with water...It is the pinkish glow one can see in the photos!

The net Chipboard was painted with black Gesso.

I sprayed the chipbard with Pearl Black Mist and embossed it with Deep Sea, Rocky Road and Vintage Beeswax Embossing Powders. The title was sprayed with Yellow Amber Mist.

I added some flowers and Black Lux Crystals and used the Splash Brush to add splatters of the Silver Glitter.

All of the products and many more are available in the 13@rts on-line shop

But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me.

 Hello 13@rt friends....

Today I am sharing a Layout page with quite an amount of different 13@rt products...

To start I used papers from the In Bloom collection. Magnolia for my background and a piece of Rose Wallpaper on a piece of chipboard as my photo mat.

I primed the paper with Clear Gesso. Next I added white crackle paste with a palette knife. I did some stamping with the Star Alience stamp and brown Ink. Using Magic Powder and Modeling Paste I made a thick paste, colored it with the Black and Brown Rainbow Colour and then put it trough the Wonderful Nature stencil. Adding the Magic Powder resulted in the paste making some cracks when dry. I also used the paste on the edges of my paper. I colored the two corners  of my page using Brown Sugar Vintage paint and Rust powder activated with the  Rust Reagent.

All the chipboard pieces were painted with the Matt and Vivid Green paints together with Brown Sugar Vivid Vintage Paint. Also 'aged' them by using the rust powder on them. The piece of cheesecloth was colored with Black Rainbow Color. I made floral arrangements with the chipboards, dried roots and several flowers. For a little feminine touch I added some of the Purple Mica flakes as well.

I enjoyed creating this page using the following products available in the 13@rts online store....

Love the Nature

I do not really need to teach it to my sons, they naturally adore nature. They specifically like bugs, snails and lizards. We even have geckos and bug larvas at home.

This work was inspired by the love of nature and by Botond'a sensible soul.
Both have to be taken care even more over the summer break!

The starting point was a piece of an old drawing-board and some split from the forest which were ground coated, stenciled and painted. 

I created tons of layers.
I used die cuts, sizals, microspheres, flowers, inks and waterpaints.

Memories ~ Nostalgic Layout with Sandi Clarkson

Hello, 13 Arts fans! 

Sandi here with you today sharing a layout I created focused around an old photo of my uncle and I at my grandparents farm. I was a city girl (still am) and had great respect for all their animals.  Respect and fear, LOL. I still remember being afraid this old Bossy cow was going to trample all over me. But it made for a great photo opportunity for my mother! 

Anyway, my intention was to stick with some green to represent the fields where we stood along with some blue for the sky and then lots of browns, amber and so forth to represent the cow. However, as I played around with my paints, I decided to throw in some pink to represent myself. 

Here is a little collage of photos showing you the layout before I added my embellishments and photo. I firstly primed my Paper Blue Nights ~ Blue Magnolia with Clear Gesso and then covered 3/4 of the paper with a mix of White Gesso and MAGIC Powder to achieve a bit of crackle. I allowed that too dry overnight before proceeding. I did some random stamping with the Numbers Stamp  and then some stenciling with the script portion of the Dandelions Stencil and some Modeling Paste.

All my paint colors are all listed below in products used but are comprised of mostly some Rainbow powders, Ayeeda Water Ink and some Splash products. 

While my paints were drying, I altered the large clock chipboard from Chipboard HIS HERS Remastered with Rainbow Color Brown and the leaves from the Chipboard Set Vintage Summer A4 with the Olive Green Ayeeda Ink. The title piece was left bare and is included in the Rose Fields Chipboard Set 12x12.

I layered my photo on torn and distressed pieces of the Paper Postcards ~ Blue Magnolia and matted my photo with BLUE MAGNOLIA A4 Butterfly collage. The little colorful scrap under the clock was my original test scrap of paper and I decided to include it for interest.




Before adhering the focal area, I added some Sisal ecru for texture and a few fussy cut florals from BLUE MAGNOLIA A4 Butterfly collage as well as some three dimensional flowers. I tucked in a paper doily and scrap of leaves from my stash. Since this was an outdoor scene, I included the bees from Metal Insects and a fussy cut butterfly also from BLUE MAGNOLIA A4 Butterfly collage.




I finished off with some paint splattering, dabs of watered down white gesso and some of the SPLASH Old Gold Glitter Ink and 13 Arts SPLASH White Ayeeda Ink.





Here you can see a little of the crackle I was trying to achieve.
This project got a little more colorful than I intended but my husband says he likes it and I hope that you will as well.

Hello Friends....

For today's 13arts project I started with a piece of resist canvas that I colored with Sky Blue and Turquoise Rainbow Duo colors. I just played and enjoyed watching the  color pigments act with the adding of more water and pushing it around with a paintbrush. 

I then decided to use the piece of canvas on this project. I used the A4 Vintage Summer Leaves paper as background and layered several others under the image from the Hope you are well paper sheet. I used a Dusty Attic Frame that I firstly painted with Americano Vivid Vintage Paint, randomly embossed with Stampendeous Aged Teal Embossing Enamel and aged further with Rusty Bronze Rust effect Powder activating the Rust with new 13@rts Rust Reagent...This product will only be available with the next release but believe me it is going to be a winner!!!! I got awesome rust effects without the smell of the usual vinegar one has to use!

I used Black and Light Gold Mika Flakes and Burgundy Dried Acorn seeds for decorations. My title sticker comes from the Aqua Flora Sticker sheet. The skeleton leaves are from my own stash but I linked to similar leaves in the 13arts shop.
