Words & Paintery July Challenge

Hello All!
I am so excited to share my first W&P Design Team Project with you! I had  so much fun with this months color combination!!  
Look isn't it Fabulous!

When I saw these colors I immediately thought of Finnabair's Metallique Acrylic Paints. I used  Rich Turquoise, Wild Fuchsia & Fresh Orange.
But the quote made me think of Technique Junkies Trust your Journey Stamp, which I used for my title and to build my background.

 So without further ado lets heck out my take...

Products Used:Finnabair's Metallique Acrylic Paint- Rich Turquoise, Wild Fuchsia & Fresh Orange. Creative Embellishment Chipboard, 7 Dot Studio Pattern Paper. Prima Flowers. Misc twine and bits from my desk.

I

Here you can see a bit of  my Technique Junkies Trust your Journey 

stamping in the background and my title stamped and heat embossed on vellum paper.

L is for my Love of Art!

Hello Everyone!
Today I wanted to take a moment ad share a project that I created using lots of fun Prima Products but totally inspired by May's Challenge over at the Words& Paintery Challenge Blog.
They are currently having a Design Team call and I would love it if they would consider my submission in their search.... Wish me luck :)
First lets take a look at May's Mood Board:

Now Lets look at my Altered Project..
I found this L at Michael's when I I picked up my Rust Paste so I figured why not....

Products Used: Prima Pattern Paper, Color Bloom, Heavy Gesso, Gel Medium, Art Stones, Textured Paste, Rust Paste Set, Crackle Paint, IOD Mould, Wax and Metal Trinkets. Misc. Buttons and bits. And TONS of Finniabair Inspiration and direction! 

I started by decoupaging a bit of pattern paper to my L. Next I layered lots of trinkets to build my clusters.

I added a bit of crackle paste for a bit of added texture...

Next I covered all the "Gel Clumps" and "Blank Areas" with  Art Stones.

Finally it was time for color!

To bring everything togther I added a light coat of Gesso.

To finish off my project I added a touch of Finnabair's Wax....

I really love the way the clusters turned out.

Thank you so Much for stopping by!

 I hope I have inspired you in some way :)
