So many beautiful details here....Blue, red and white ....With some yellow tones here and there....And some modeling paste with 13Arts new Christmas stencil is necessary , too!


December is my favourite month. It's my name day on Christmas Day and I am always so impressed by the lights , the decorated cities , the Christmas trees... When I found this picture on Pinterest , I knew that it was the best for scrapping...


As you can see , I wanted some more sparkle , so I used the 3D embellies and the Silver Pearl mist. It's perfect for adding some sparkling tone on my project! Some fussy cutting is necessary , too. 


That's my project for today! I hope you liked it!

Mixed media tags by Christina

Hello!!!! This is Christina with you today! This time I will show you my mixed media tags made with the new transparent foils! 
Today I wanted a rusty effect , so I used no flowers and romantic details on this project. 


The first tag I made is with a message . "Don't give up". It 's my life's moto and I often have it on my mind when I face some problems in my life. 
I have used some modeling paste and multi shaped 3d elements painted in black gesso and several colours of shiny powders.


Here are some close ups. You can see how shiny the elements are!
Of course , I have used the rusty bronze powder and the patina bronze mist for making a rusty result.

                           

 I tried to highlight some parts of the tag , so I used tones of blue  for this reason .
Grey, blue ,turquise,brown are matching perfect together , what do you think?


The second tag is similar to the other. But I have used more brown and blue and grey and green. 
The message here is "You can do it!" and I think of it when I want to encourage myself in difficult situations. 


 Here are some close ups of this tag. A lot of rusty powder is here. I love this product and i enjoy everytime it reacts with vinegar.


              Some more details of this tag! Cool , eh?


I hope you have inspired by my project and have found it interesting.
That 's for today.

"Memories" mixed media canvas by Christina


Hello!!!! This is Christina today with you and I admit that I am very excited with these spring colours , so I am playing againg with some pink and green tones on my mixed media canvas. 
I was asked by a mom to scrap her daughter's photo , such a beautiful girl , don't you think? 
So I was inspired by the pink flowers and the green  backround of the photo ,  so I loved this colour combination.


I tried again one of my favourite techniques , it ' s about sticking some paper stripes on my canvas and use my colours and elements on them. As you can see , i couldn't resist using some gold touches  and , of course , glitter! 


Undernieth my photo , you can see some wooden elements and my title is some plastic word element 

I used a lot of 13Arts papers and I had a lot of fussy cutting to use several colours of flowers. I have also used some 3D flowers and some chippies , too.

"Gorgeous" Mixed media LO by Christina

Hello there 13Arts fans and Merry Christmas to all of you!!!!! I hope the new year to bring all of you happiness and joy in your lives!!!!
Well , today it s my turn to show you my project and for this time I used red colour on my LO , even though it 's not a Christmas project.


I used the new stencils and red glitter for my backround to give some interest , because bleu and red are opposite colours and a favourite combo.



I really enjoyed using the new transparences in my project. I have cut the insect and the word "Gorgeous" as my title. I have also used some ribbons , gaze and some chippies .


Some more details above. ... 
I really hope you have enjoyed my project and have been inspired!!!!

'Sweet' LO by Christina




Hello!!!!This is Christina today with you and it's time for my new colourful LO with the beautiful "Strength in Numbers" collection!



First of all I have to say that this time of the year I really need to use more colour on my projects , so I decided to use this colourful collection as my base for my ''Sweet'' LO. 
The first step was to prepare my paper... So I stuck some paper together and used some white gesso to thicken my paper.



 Then, I used some lavender and green pastel mist to have an awesome backround. Of course , it was time for some more texture , so I used some modeling paste through a stencil here and there....
I really like the combo of these two colours...

I painted some of  my chipboards in metallic violet and  then I used some liqued medium with some pink velvet shiny powder for extra shiny look. I did the same on some other chippies but using some black gesso and pink silver shiny powder. At the end I added some more glitter on my chipboards with glitter paint.
 The final step was just the decoration. I have used a lot of flowers , some ribbon and some lace.. 
As you can see , I have also added some black gesso here and there  with a text mask to have more interest on my page....

                 So , That's from me today.... Hope you like my LO and have been inspired....
                                                                 See you soon....

"Believe" mixed media canvas by Christina

Hello 13Arts fans!!!This is Christina with you today with a mixed media canvas again. This time with a photo from my first daughter..It;s a photo from our vacations in sunny Greece , at a beach and I love this very much... My canvas today is full of colours , like my first attempts in mixed media , when my pages were colourful... Well, I missed using them and today I wanted something like this. The "Art Journey " collection is perfect for creations fresh and colourful , so you should try it for sure.
Firstly I started by covering my canvas with clear gesso and  by sticking some stripes of bookpages and papers from the collection. 
Then , I painted with pink splash ink and turquise mist my papers and added some white gesso here and there!


Now , it was the time to add some modeling paste... Mixed media means texture for me , so the modeling paste is my favourite and the most necessary product... Of course I used one of the newest stencils from Maremi's collection.
After everything had dried , I added some foam letters... I have missed a lot these elements and I wanted to use them for extra texture. Look how they match with the backround!


The final step is to dacorate my page...I have used some 13Arts chipboards , some sisal in pink and white , pink ribbon and white lace and of course my favourite microspheres and plastic microspheres.
                   At the end I added some splashes from white gesso here and there...

That's from me... Hope that my colourful canvas has delighted you and has given some inspiration!!!

"I discovered scrapbooking about a two years ago. It was immersive. I’m constantly discovering new technics, products and I spend all my spare time doing my art work. I’m also following home and foreign forums and trying myself in many ways in this field of art. I love the „Challenges”, they give me extra tasks and they are trying me too. I have masses of photographs that I can use for my work, but through challenges I always discover new ways to look at my fond memories. Mixed media is a type of draughtsmanship to me. I can paint, form things, shape and build at the same time. It gives me freedom. I feel confident because there are no spoiled lines, there is no right or wrong just the feeling of 'this is exactly how I wanted to come out'. Somehow using few or no words, I can bring life into my art using colour, tone, texture, form or motifs. I am open to novelty, but I think I have my own characteristic style. Once a 'scrap fellow' told me that I am such a surrealist. Perhaps I am. All I do is keep my eyes open, I enjoy to learn and try to rely on my own taste. I don’t want to become a commercial artist."

Inks are such a versatile medium. You can use them to colour a background, colour an embellishment or colour some patterned paper. I love to use them as a pre mixed water colour paint and here I have mixed some of the colours together to make the green hues I wanted to make my page look spooky!
