Be Inspired- 7 Dots Studios mini album

I created something a little different for this month's reveal at the 7 Dots Studio Blog.

Our Dt packages came with this cute mini-album and so I thought it would be fun to create something  that I usually don't make.

I created this small mini-book using the UmWow mini chipboard album and the Verano Azul collection. This collection comes with many inspirational and motivational quotes which were perfect for this book. I wanted to create something uplifting and positive for myself as I wanted to be reminded of the love all around me every time I looked at it

I used stickers, elements and paper quotes from the Verano Azul collection to cover each page with inspiration

Peace on Earth- Art Journaling page

Hi Everyone,

Its Keren here with an double page spread in my art journal designed for the Scrapberry's blog.

with everything that is going on in the world, I felt I needed to create a page to release my emotions about how I feel about the earth.

what we need right now is 

"Peace on earth"

and so I dedicate this page to anyone who needs some light and love at this moment.

Just know that there's someone thinking about you lighting your way through the darkness.

First I used the Scrapberry's Atique shop collection navigation paper. I adhered it to the background with Prima Soft Matte gel. I thought the map print was perfect for the theme of this journaling spread.

 I added some stencilling design with modelling paste and then I sprayed lots of different Lindy's stamp gang sprays around the border to match the colours of the Lindy's Stamp Gang November color challenge below:

These are the Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays I used: Cajun Carnelian Red, Sea Mint Green, Magical Mai Tai and Winter Jasmine Gold (which I believe is discontinued)

I also used the Steampunk Sepia from the Industrial Chic magical set to add a dark edge to the border

I used the Scraperry's Around the world traces clear stamp to create texture around the border.

and then used the Scraperry's Around the world pearl swirl #3 to add movement to the page.

Finally I added a couple of polymer birds from the Scrapberry's Fairytale and Vintage circus collections.

Angel of Love--Mixed Media OTP with DecoArt

Hi Everyone,

This is a project I created for the DecoArt Outreach blog program.

I've had this idea in my head for quite a long time.

I've wanted turn a glass bottle into an angel.

I used a small Coke bottle and transformed it into this angel.

I used different metals from Scrapberry's, a resin heart and Archival Cast wings from Prima.

This is the type of bottle I covered.

I really wanted the angel's body to have a lot of texture but I think I might have gone overboard LOL.  It didn't tuned out exactly like I envisioned it but I still like the way it turned out.

I used DecoArt modelling paste and metal trinkets to cover the bottle and then added more texture with cheese cloth, resin and foam. Everything was glued using DecoArt media matte medium.

I once the paste was dry, I painted the whole piece with Deco Art black gesso. Once dry, I painted with Deco Art Dazzling Metallics: Gold, Copper and Patina.

Snow Sparkles- Blue Fern Studios Vintage Christmas collection

Hi everyone,

I'm here one more time with my second post for Blue Fern Studios.

I'm using again the brand new collection from Blue Fern Studios called Vintage Christmas. Its a beautiful holiday and wintery paper collection and it was perfect for scrapbooking last year's winter photos. 

For this background I used the "Auld Lang Syne" paper from the Vintage Christmas collection.

I framed my daughter's photo with the Holiday Frame. I primed it with white gesso and then sprinkled it with diamond dust to give it a snowflake texture feel. Finally I used some Imagine Ink Pyrite glitter to add some golden highlights around the frame and on the background.

I used the Blue Fern Studios Persimmon, white and golden spray to add some texture and sparkle to the background.

Finally I used the "Sparkles" chipboard word from the "Winter titles" set. It was sprayed with gold ink.

Snow Angel- Blue Fern Studios Vintage Christmas

Hello everyone,

It's Keren here with my first project for my November post for Blue Fern Studios.

As you might have seen already, Blue Fern Studios has released a brand new collection called Vintage Christmas. Its a beautiful holiday and wintery paper collection and it was perfect for scrapbooking last year's winter photos.

For this background I used the "Magical" paper from the Vintage Christmas collection.

I'm not too fond of winter as I don't like feeling cold. However my kids love playing in the soft fluffy snow. Here is my daughter making snow angels on the snow. I framed her photo with the Snowflake Frame chipboard which I simply covered in white gesso. I wanted to create the most monochromatic layout I could so I could showcase the whiteness of winter. I used flowers and cheese cloth to enhance the feel of winter, too.
