'Serenity' ATC's set + VIDEO tutorial

Hello everyone !

I am back to you with my new mixed media tiny makes :)
Since long time I was inspired and enjoyed seing ATC's created by many of my crafty friends.
I was admiring their pieces but never had courage to create my own.
Things have changed when I received beautiful ATC from my friend Riikka.
By then I knew it I have to try to make my own :)

ATC -Artist trading cards are minature works of artaboyt the same size as modern trading cards.Cards are usually traded or exchaned. It is perfect way of exchaning your art with crafty friends.

I started by colouring my paper with random drawing and splashes of sprays: Tibetan Poppy Teal, Maidenhair Fern Green, Summer Lovin' Sun, Tilt-a-Wheel Teal.

I used Prima Finnabair stamp and embossed the image. I used Hyacinth Blue Jade embossing powder. It created great interest to my background. I have added bubbly image to all three ATC's.

 I also added modeling paste mixed with Luscious Lime flat Magical. I used my paste through Prima Bubble stencil. It gave additional texture and dimentional. As my final touches I added paper butterflies and stickers.
I hope I encoured you to create your very own ATC.
Please feel free to check out my video tutorial.



Sending you creative hugs, Marta xx

Art journaling 'Life is about creating yourself' + VIDEO tutorial

Hello crafty people,

I am so happy to be back to you with my new creation for Finnabair Creative Team.

Back to basics, back to my art journaling.

This project is very textured, with layers of papers, modeling paste and different types of laces.

I started as usual covering my page with gesso. Gesso is great base for any mixed media works.

After adding all embellishments to my page, after everything dried I started playing with colours.

I used Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays. You can see the whole process in my video.

I love the title too, this metal embllishments comes from Tim Holtz.

I hope you will enjoy my tutorial and find some inspiration.
