LO {High Voltage Smile} by Terhi

Hello all and happy April!

Few days ago we joined again with Sketchabilities sketch blog, and here is my layout for sketch #136. 13@rts is a generous sponsor there, so I suggest you to join if you want to win some 13@rts goodies!

For this layout, I wanted to use our new paper collection "Mental Vacation". I picked up some green and turquoise toned papers and added the same shades from "Color Basic" papers.

Background is created with mists and water, then some stencil work with inks and then with modelling paste.

One of the new products, Colored Grits, might be planned for mixed media creations, such as canvases, art journals and other, but I wanted to use the grits on this layout, too.

I spread some gel medium onto my papers and then dropped some grits on. I let it dry naturally and the shook off the left overs.

Remember to join our Mixed Media pARTy in June - see the details HERE.

Thank you for stopping by today!

layout for #133 sketchabilities

13arts and sketchabilities are teaming up!

Here is my layout using this months sketch.

Used an old photo of my girls which it's very precious to me.

I wanted to make it simple and let the photo be the star of this project.

This project was based on the #133 sketch from sketchabilities

I used a 13arts stencil to make the texture with flowers.

Also used a mix of gesso and sand for extra texture.

Outlined the flowers with a white pen to let them stand out more.

The twigs from 13arts with the decorative ribbon jets.

I cut the ribbon jets and painted them with gesso.

The lovely fabric flower, the resin flowers and the handmade turquoise thread flowers.

A lovely piece of resin from Scrapberry's.

LO {This Happened} by Terhi

Hi everyone!

It's Terhi here showing my take on Sketchabilities sketch #133 - the one was revealed on last Saturday on Sketchabilities blog. 13@rts is sponsoring them for the whole year, so now you have one good reason more to play along!

I started to build my page with Color Basic "Squares" stencil and modelling paste, then added a lot of paper slices to the place I wanted to add my picture.

After the papers was settled, I used a lot of mists and inks to add color and details. Oh, and between the paper layers is of course a lot of thread giving more texture.

I finished the layout with drawing lines to edges of the papers.

Layout tells about my lovely, funny, hairy friend. The other she was running free in our fenced riding area, and suddenly she decided to jump over the fence! She didn't run too far, I catch her in just a few minutes, but I have to say that life is not boring with her..

Thank you for stopping by today!

Here is a quick background tutorial I have put together for you:

Step 1: Scrape some gesso on your background in a rough triangle shape then dry. Then take your 13 Arts Color Basics Triangle Mask and using a lead pencil trace triangles on your background.

Step 2: When your happy with the position of all your drawn triangles, again take your stencil and place it on your background. use a palette knife to spread modelling paste through the mask. I have actually tried to spread it in a way so that I have not completely filled any triangle with the paste, instead creating, raised, partially finished triangles.

Step 3 and 4: Stamp the paste while it is still wet. I have used an ordinary Lego block, and also a Lego Duplo block which is larger. You can use pretty much anything for this step, however if you choose to use a normal stamp I would advise spritzing it with water first. After that let your modelling paste air-dry.

Step 5: Now that it is dry you can begin adding color, I have used 13 Arts Mists in Chalk Celedon, Chalk Sap Green, Pastel Green, and Pastel Yellow. I have sprayed some of each color onto my craft mat, then using a paint brush applied the colors directly to my background, switching colors often, and blending with each other.

Step 6: When I had finished the background it seemed like it was missing something so I have added some 13 Arts Water-Based Ink in Orange, again painting it on the background with a very wet brush. Add some splatters of color around the page.

Step 7: When all the color is dry use a black pen and doodle around some of the modelling paste triangles. I have done this in a very random manner.

Step 8 and 9: To finish off I have added a little black stamping with a triangle stamp, and some splatters of 13 Arts Water-Based Ink in Black (Graphite).

Step 10: Now that your background is finished you can begin to build your paper layers, add your photos and other elements.
