'Dreams do come true' by Marta

Hello :)
And welcome in my mixed media world.
Awww what a busy week !
Busy life... does it happened to you sometimes ?
Where you don't know where to start, what to do next and which priority is bigger if any ?
Ahhhh... but luckily new projects are there :)
Today I would love to share with you my journal page and two mixed media cards. I looooove creating in my journals. I adore the experience of experimenting and total freedom. Todays pages are in the rust colours which some dark elements. I played with new Number Party stencil. I used some modeling paste, white sand and 3D gel medium from Finnabair.

As you can see on the close up photo I added some new Finnabair glass beads, mica flakes and glass glitter. I attached all those small pieces to wet mediums.
Then I sprayed all with Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays (Cowabunga Copper, Clam Bake Beige, Black Orchid Silver and Bodacious Blush).

I added Wings chipboard to my girl on the photograph.

Used products:


My next two projects are very similar to each other. I wanted to show you that same designs can be situated in differet part of the project and still look great. Even the colours, the way I build the backround is alike to all three works. My idea was to show you that you can be creative even if you are using the same craft materials and colours. I created mixed media backround using Number Party stencil.



 I added wonderful flourish chipboards.

 
I also added Flourish Swirl Stamp.

I hope you have enoyed my mixed media post ;)
Sending you lots of creative days !!! Marta xx

'Love' layout + VIDEO tutorial

'Love' layout + VIDEO tutorial

Hello :)
Oh it' so good to be back, back to challenges again.
In the past months there was no time to create and enjoy challenges. I missed that fun a lot.
Some evening I just sat down at my desk and wanted to create for fun...
I created mixed media layout for two current challenges. I must say I have enjoyed this creating process soooo much. That much that I made a video tutorial as well.

Base of my page is from 7 Dots Studio.
I added flowers from my stash. Colours are from Lindy's Stamp Gang.

As you can see the biggest inspirations in life for me is my baby girl Emily.
This work is dedicated for her. She is everything to me. She gives me energy, laugh, smiles, best time ever. She inspires me all the time. Music notes are from Tim Holtz tissue paper.
Beautiful stencil is from Scrap FX Australia.

I wish to take part in sketch challenge at Once Upon a Sketch :)
I was inspired by this sketch and it's theme - inspired by. As every mother would say my own little girl is my life inspiration ! I love creating my works when she is part of it.

I also wish to take part in mood board challenge at Scrap Around The World.
I was inspired by this wonderful mood board. The colours are amazing, so rich and vibrant ! Flowers and music notes were also inspirational. I also added string which is giving another dimentional to the layout. I laso loved this sun light from bike photo :)

I hope you have enjoyed my creation. If you wish to see how I created this work, here is the video tutorial with step by step insruction.

Sending you loooots creative hugs,
Marta Lapkowska xx
