Imagine with your Whole Heart -Mixed Media Canvas

Hello Everyone, 

Today I am stopping by to share a tiny little altered wooden oval that I picked up at the craft store. For this project I decided to use  the 3 stunning Hearts from Sandra's Mexican Folk Art Hearts Power to the People. So let's take a look....

Relics and Artifacts Products Used:

Mexican Folk Art Hearts Power to the People Set

Apoxie Sculpt

Other Products Used: Ranger Dylusions Acrylic Paint- Fresh Lime, Cut Grass, Vibrant Turquoise, Bubble Gum Pink, Squeezed Orange, Lemon Zest & Crushed Grape. Black. Ranger Alcohol Ink- Dandelion & Purple. Golden: Black Gesso & Titanium White Acrylic Paint. White Uni-Ball Pen. Michaels -Chipboard Word & Wooden Oval.  Stazon On Ink- Black. Kaiser Craft - Sparklets Crystals & Heart Clear. Finnabair- Heavy Body Gel, Art Pebbles & Texture Stamp.

I used a mix of beautifully bright Dylusions Paints to color my hearts.  So lets take a closer look at all three of them. Here you can see the tiny purple one with that I accented with a crystal heart.

The largest heart from the set I altered a bit as you can tell using a small amount 

of Apoxie Sculpt and after it dried I added my colors and a crystal gem.

 Here is the last heart in the set as you see it got the same coat of fresh paint 

and a bit of bling.  

A bit of art pebbles some stamping and a few splatters pulled this little piece together.

Thank you so much for stopping by today I truly  Appreciate it!

I hope that I have Inspired you in some tiny way!

First time up on the Muse Blog!

Hello Everyone!

 Today is my first time up on the Relics & Artifacts Blog! I hope you will hop over and see all the details of my first MUSE Team project. For my first project I played with Sandra's Santo Domingo Sacred Heart Set  and Her VerDay Metal Paint Set and some other bits and pieces. 

I am calling this canvas "Out of the Darkness"  I chose Sandra's beautiful Santo Domingo Sacred Heart Set I was inspired to create this canvas after I saw Sandra's original that she found in France. She shared a picture of it over in the Relics & Artifacts Tribe and I was officially in love with this beautiful heart. I wanted the Heart to truly shine so I decide to keep the rest of the canvas dark.

Don't Quit, Do It!

Hello Everyone!

Today I wanted to stop by and share an altered ceramic dress form that I found at the Salvation Army awhile back. 

The minute I picked it up  I knew that I wanted to so something focusing on Breast Cancer awareness. This topic has hit home for me too many times this last year.  As I am sure it has for so many of you. So with that in mind,  I wanted to share my love and support to all those dear to my heart and those that I don't know that have been touched by Breast Cancer.

Products Used: Prima/Finnabair Art Basics- 3d Matte Gel, Heavy Body Gel, Soft Gloss Gel, Heavy White Gesso. Prima/Finnabair  Art Alchemy- Sparks Butterfly Spells, Steampunk Copper, Rose Gold Wax, Boudoir Pink Impasto.  Prima/Finnabair- Micro Beads & Glass Beads. Prima Apricot Honey Pattern Paper & Chipboard. Prima Flowers- #65530 & 642846. Finnabair Molds- Stars & Moons, Cogs, Wings. Finnabair- Flutter Tissue Paper. Blue Fern Studio- Mauve Seedlings, Rose Gold Glitter. Lindy's Stamp Gang- Cotton Candy Pink, Bodacious Blush, Steampunk Sepia, Sandra Dee Sepia. Misc. Ribbon & Twine. Found Item Ceramic Dress Form.

I didn't create a video of this project because I knew I would never stay in focus.. but you here you can see how it started and started to come together. 

I started by sanding the dress form a bit and then applying a coat of  Heavy White Gesso. Next I added a base layer of Pink Boudoir. Then I wrapped it all up with tissue paper and gloss gel.

Then came everything else here are a few close ups..

 Lots of flowers and glitter....

Tiny Paper Tags, Ribbons and Beads...

Stars and Gears....

Don't Quit!

 Don't give up and Always get checked!

I hope you enjoyed my project and
