<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Hi Everyone, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am here with you today to bring with you my second project for the Scrap Matrix Texture Challenge. This project is a mixed media canvas which showcases Finnabair Patina Pastes and also highlights recycling a few things that perhaps could have been destined for the rubbish bin. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">So when I mention recycling I ask you to take a little look at the below photo, you will see wool, lace and packaging. This has all been adhered down with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-3d-gel-gloss-8oz/" target="_blank">3D gloss gel</a>. The wool can be a little tricky, it requires a bit of work and manipulation but once it is down and set it is well and truly set. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">To the sides of my canvas I adhered strings of dangly curtain screen pieces. Sorry, this name is not too descriptive is it? I bought a whole screen of these dangly things, I think they may date back to the 70's. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">Through a stencil apply some <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-modelling-paste/" target="_blank">Finnabair Modeling Paste</a> to your canvas. The stencil I have used below is old stock from the Finnabair line. Any <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=stencil&Search=" target="_blank">stencil</a> could be used here as long as you are giving some texture to your canvas. There are so many gorgeous <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=stencil&Search=" target="_blank">stencils</a> in the Scrap Matrix store to choose from. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">After allowing ample time for the modelling paste to dry it is time for the fun part to start. It is time to start applying the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-art-extravagance-patina-effect-paste-set/" target="_blank">patina pastes.</a> For my background you will see the main colour is the bronze, I dabbed and dabbed and dabbed until the canvas was coloured in all the cracks. Once this was dry I lightly applied the lighter blue and green colours until I was happy. I used both a brush and my finger. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I am here with you today to share my Design Team project for the '<a href="https://scrapmatrixblog.blogspot.com.au/2018/03/marchs-challenge-layers-and-texture.html" target="_blank">Show Us Your Texture' </a>Challenge Share. This challenge was one I was super looking forward to, it meant a lot of options were open to push the creative mind. I had not ever used the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=finnabair&Search=" target="_blank">Finnabair Art Extravagance Patina Effect Paste Set</a>, may I tell you that this set is totally AMAZING and can work wonders. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace;">I took my little bland beige coloured horse and transformed it into a vintage looking animal of wonder (well I think so anyway). </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">I am here today to share with you all my second Ranger post for our Ranger challenge month. This time I would like to bring to you a mixed media burlap canvas. I so love how the Tim Holtz Ideology range can all match so well, product to product, it just seems to blend seamlessly. I just cannot get myself enough Tim products, I love them so much. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "courier new" , "courier" , monospace;">The project began life as a simple burlap canvas. I dipped a <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/gesso-brush/">gesso brush</a> into some <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/ranger-gesso-dina-wakely-4oz/">white gesso</a> and randomly painted some around the main part of the canvas and the sides. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am here today with you to share a created Tim Holtz configuration box. I cannot lie, Tim is my crafting hero, I feel we may be kindred spirits. I love ALL Tim Holtz products, I cannot get enough of them and will happily admit I have a good stash to stare at and admire. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This box is packed with Idea-ology product and Scrap Matrix metal, combined also with my personal stash and vintage bits and pieces I had here in my craft room. I do apologise in advance as this blog post is a little heavy on the photos, I wanted to ensure you all got a very good look around the entire box. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For this project I have used a Tim Holtz configuration box from my stash, however you can use other things to create a project like this such as printers trays, jewellery box trays, boxes etc. Think outside the box (literally). </div>

<span style="text-align: start;">I urge you to look through the close up photos below to see what can actually be used in a project like this. There are items that were destined for the bin, they actually look good here - buttons, champagne metal top, rusty thimble, watch parts, light bulb from my Mum's Rav 4, broken jewellery chain. Never ever be afraid to experiment. </span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am here with you today to share my second project for the holiday challenge this month with Scrap Matrix. Now I know you will be looking at the below mixed media canvas and thinking, hmmm Rebecca, what does this exactly have to do with holidays?. Well, it was created during the school holidays, this still kind of counts right?. I really wanted to take the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=paint+chips+&Search=" target="_blank">7 Dots Studio Paint Chips collection</a> and apply to bright and funky canvas. I know this is a little on the different side but I am happy with the results. It is good to step out of your comfort zone. </div>

To begin my canvas I adhered <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=paint+chips+&Search=" target="_blank">Paint Chips paper</a> to the canvas, the main base and all the edges.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I really didn't like the clean white edges so decided to cover them in tissue tape. Tissue tape sometimes does not stick down too well, to ensure complete adhesion I used double sided tape underneath it. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/prima-paint-splatters/" target="_blank">Prima 'Paint Splatters' stamp set</a> worked so well with this collection. Random stamping around the main part of the canvas and the sides. </div>

<a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-soft-gloss-gel-8-5oz/" target="_blank">Finnabair Art Basics Soft Gloss Gel</a> was applied to the canvas through a stencil.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-soft-gloss-gel-8-5oz/" target="_blank">Soft Gloss Gel</a> was later dry I added a touch of Art Alchemy Metallique Wax in Vintage Gold. As I wanted the dots to pop a little more I traced around them a <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/prima-watercolour-pencils-earth-tones/" target="_blank">black water pencil</a> then smudged it a little with my finger and water. You will see here in the bottom corner beautiful <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/corners-solid-3d-plain-small-silver-set-of-4/" target="_blank">box corners</a> which are also available in the Scrap Matrix store. </div>

<a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-texture-paste-graphite/" target="_blank">Art Extravagance Texture Paste</a> in colour Graphite was then applied throughout the gaps around the canvas and also to the sides of the canvas. This paste although grey when you look in the tub, it does dry get black (as you can see). </div>

Hi Everyone, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Rebecca here with you today to share a bright layout created especially for the Scrap Matrix '<a href="https://scrapmatrixblog.blogspot.com.au/2018/01/new-challenge-time-what-have-dt-created.html" target="_blank">Holiday Challenge</a>'. The theme of this challenge is so versatile, it can run from holiday memories to mementos, through to possibly the way a holiday made you feel. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here is what I came up with for my first share with you all. Late last year our family was lucky enough to have a small getaway in Bali, it was the first trip there for all of us. Such a fascinating, warm (in heat and nature of the beautiful people) and colourful. The 7 Dots Studio Paint Chips collection was just PERFECT for Bali photos. </div>

From the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/prima-stampnadd-moth-wings/" target="_blank">Scrap Matrix</a> store you can buy this amazing collection in a kit (as seen below) or buy all the pieces individually, all depending on your preference.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The kit came with absolutely everything I needed to create, I was determined not to add anything extra. The only thing I really did additional to the kit was use my die cutting machine and my Tim Holtz thin circles die to cut some little spinning circles, just to add a little something extra. </div>

Lots of layering and although usually I would paint or ink my chipboard, this time I kept it raw. Also I would usually black outline all my shapes with watercolour or a big brush pen, this time I kept those raw. Trying my best to attempt minimal for once as usually I am a little OTT and never ever know when to stop adding (stamping, marking, spraying, eeeeeek!!). </div>

<br />
Rebecca here with you today!. I would like to bring you a small step by step tutorial showing you how to create a small series of gift tags using a set of <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/hot-pick-1605-choice-ezmounted/" target="_blank">Hot Pick stamps from Paper Artsy</a>.<br />

To create the vibrant background colour I used <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/distress-ink-pad/" target="_blank">Distress Inks </a> from Ranger. To apply the colours I used a <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/ranger-inkblending-tool-handle-foam-1-round/" target="_blank">Inkblending Tool</a>, dabbed into the ink and lightly moved in circles around the tag blending the colours together. </div>

<br />
I am here with you today to share a little OTP makeover. This little box was previously a gift box for a beautiful coffee cup. Rather than throw away such an excellent sturdy box I decided to give it a little sprucing up. Paper Artsy Stamps, Gelatos and Prima Watercolours created magic here and transformed trash to treasure.<br />

I was fortunate enough this month to work with this GORGEOUS set of stamps designed by Tracy Scott for Paper Artsy. I believe this set of stamps is so versatile, they can be used for all paper crafting - mixed media, card making, layouts!!. </div>

Faber Castell Gelatos, Prima Water Colours, Finnabair Mica combined with the stamping created the exact look I was hoping to achieve. Black stitching to provide a nice boarder. A coat of Soft Gloss Gel to seal the colour and give a nice sheen. </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am here with you all to share my second 7 Dots project for Scrap Matrix Design Team with you all. This project has again been created using the Writers Block collection, I love this collection, the dark colours are seriously my style (vintage and yummy!!). </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As you can see I created a tag, but when the tag was finished I thought, hmmm there is still some paper left here and a few bits and pieces so I just kept going. Then a canvas was born and the tag moved on in to a new home. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now lets take a look how this was made. </div>

Have you used the AMAZING German Scrap before? Look what can happen with just a gentle touch of <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-art-alchemy-metallique-wax/" target="_blank">Art Alchemy Metalliqe Wax</a>. You can transform the black wings instantly to glossy gold picking up all those fine details. These wings were then used as the back drop behind the inked butterfly wings. </div>

The layer below the tag you will see may look like a square but it is actually a split sheet to conserve my paper. Also I have used offcuts from my previous project which have been sewn on with my sewing machine. These papers have all been edged with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-art-alchemy-metallique-wax/" target="_blank">Art Alchemy Metallique Wax in Aged Brass. </a></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am here with you today to share with you a mixed media canvas created with the beautiful 7 Dots Studio <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=writers+block&Search=" target="_blank">Writers Block Collection</a>. This collection was made to be combined with the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/shop-by-category/so-much-metal/" target="_blank">Scrap Matrix metals</a>, they just look so good together!. </div>

At this point, I need to let you in on a little secret. My project when I began was not intended to be a 8" x 8" canvas, it was a 12" x 12" layout (as you can see below in my break down photos). The two photos here will show you my layering process. </div>

Using a nice strong pair of scissors you can cut your <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/shop-by-category/so-much-metal/" target="_blank">metals</a>, making them go a little bit further, layering them, giving an illusion of a full circle even though you have used a semi circle. </div>

Hello Everyone, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I am here to share with you a mixed media canvas. This canvas is just popping with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/gelatos-12-pack-brights/" target="_blank">Faber Castell Gelato colour</a>, isn't it pretty?, the colours used are from the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/gelatos-12-pack-brights/" target="_blank">'Brights'</a> collection. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

To begin I die cut some corrugated packing card (recycled from a recent parcel) and painted the small hearts with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-gesso-heavy-white-16-oz/" target="_blank">Art Basics Heavy Gesso in White</a> and allowed to dry. Lightly I used the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/gelatos-12-pack-brights/" target="_blank">red gelato</a> on the raised portions of the cut card and then began smudging all the red in with my finger. </div>

Through the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/6x6-13-arts-cells/" target="_blank">Maremi Small Art Cell</a> stencil I used a palette knife to apply <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-soft-matte-gel/" target="_blank">Art Basics Soft Matte Gel.</a> Using an <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/gelatos-12-pack-brights/" target="_blank">orange gelato</a> on a sponge (which was included in the Brights kit) I dabbed through the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=tim+stencil&Search=" target="_blank">Bubbles Tim Holtz</a> Stencil. After this point I also added some stamping and glossy accent dots which were finished with Finnabair wax. </div>

Hi Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am here with you today to share my first Watercolour and Words project for Scrap Matrix with you all. This month I was fortunate enough to work with the wonderful <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=gelatos&Search=" target="_blank">Faber Castell Gelatos</a> in colour collection Brights. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Have you ever crafted with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=gelatos&Search=" target="_blank">gelatos</a>? can I let you know how much I LOVE them!!. <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=gelatos&Search=" target="_blank">Gelatos</a> have always rated very very highly on my 'always have in my craft room list' ever since doing a 2 day workshop with Donna Downey. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have created 3 tags combining <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=gelatos&Search=" target="_blank">Gelatos</a>, <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=paper+artsy&Search=" target="_blank">Paper Artsy stamps</a>, Scrap Matrix Metal and Tim Holtz Paper Dolls. Side note on the Tim Holtz paper dolls, Vicki from Scrap Matrix has had these on back order for quite some time. A super popular and often sold out item world wide. We are all crossing our fingers that they will be in <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/" target="_blank">Scrap Matrix</a> store very soon. </div>
<br />

This is the one and only <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/hot-pick-1605-choice-ezmounted/" target="_blank">stamp set</a> I used to create all 3 tags, just look at these <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/hot-pick-1605-choice-ezmounted/" target="_blank">stamps</a>, AMAZING. You could use these stamps for so many things, tags, cards, scrapbooking, journaling. Endless opportunity. </div>

<a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/gelatos-12-pack-brights/" target="_blank">Faber Castell Brights pack</a>, 15 wonderful little colourful babies. If you not worked with these before, they wind up like a chapstick, the colour is super pigmented and a little goes a very long way. Very good value for money. </div>

How do they work? how did you get that colourful background? the answer is so simple!!. The below photo will show you the three step process</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li>I began by painting the tag with with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-gesso-heavy-white-16-oz/" target="_blank">white gesso</a></li>
<li>Scribbled over each tag with 3 different coloured <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/gelatos-12-pack-brights/" target="_blank">Gelatos</a></li>
<li>Colour smudged it all with my fingers, very carefully I used 3 fingers, not wanting to smudge colours too badly between each other. </li>
</ol>

Hi Everyone, </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I am here with you today to shared a little upcycled mixed media creation designed especially for Scrap Matrix. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This month I was very fortunate enough to play with the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=fortune+teller&Search=" target="_blank">Fortune Teller collection by 7 Dots Studio</a>. This collection lends itself well to so many different crafting projects from cards, to OTP, through to layouts. It truly is a stunning collection. </div>

The below photo here will show you that I have use a little <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/zipper-6/" target="_blank">Scrap Matrix zipper m</a>etal pull as my box opener. Always be thinking outside the box with different ways as to how you can be using those amazing Scrap Matrix metals!!. </div>

Although the rest of the box was framed in the blue paper, I decided to use a different paper for the spine, it makes for an interesting look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH1nNjOp7uUHMVnGKL_mXEel_NVp7lKeV1Fc7JhhYc8omNzl5fXPBuMjR1gNuYHme4s45XPXF1ucdsCGLrkCt3XshctOKxAs46ZfXh2alLlDDfFUuUYd6Mix3Rw5l2bdC-LrvV0SoeXrI/s1600/IMG_2676.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjH1nNjOp7uUHMVnGKL_mXEel_NVp7lKeV1Fc7JhhYc8omNzl5fXPBuMjR1gNuYHme4s45XPXF1ucdsCGLrkCt3XshctOKxAs46ZfXh2alLlDDfFUuUYd6Mix3Rw5l2bdC-LrvV0SoeXrI/s400/IMG_2676.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1) To create my project I began with a hard cardboard pencil case which I had stashed away in my craft cupboard. It had served its purpose for a little while but was just asking for a little upgrade. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2) I cut up sheets from the <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=fortune+teller+&Search=" target="_blank">7 Dots Fortune Teller collection</a> to cover the box edge and lid, Fortune Teller <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/fortune-teller-soul/" target="_blank">Fortune Teller 'Soul' </a>lines the spine of the box. These were adhered to the box using <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-soft-gloss-gel-8-5oz/" target="_blank">Finnabair Art Basics Soft Gloss Gel. </a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3) All edges have been inked with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/distress-ink-pad/" target="_blank">Tim Holtz Distress Ink</a> in combination of Walnut Stain and Vintage Photo. </div>

<br />
1) Layered stickers and cut paper form the start of the background.<br />
<br />
2) Rather than use two seperate charms I cut one in half and adhered it down with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/ranger-glossy-accents-clear-mini-5oz/" target="_blank">glossy accents</a>.<br />

In pictures 1, 3 and 4 you will see more cut Scrap Matrix metal elements. All used to further embellish the box. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3) Dots of<a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/ranger-glossy-accents-clear-mini-5oz/" target="_blank"> Ranger Glossy Accents</a> were randomly places all over the top of the box. When completely set I gently rubbed over them with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-art-alchemy-metallique-wax/" target="_blank">Art Alchemy Metallic Wax in Vintage Gold</a>. Edges and other soft touches of the box also received a small touch of wax too. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Prior to adhering the box corners I lined the top and bottom edges of the box with <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/renaissance-petite-black/" target="_blank">German Scrap </a>points (I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!, I have only fairly recently started using it, it is amazing). </div>

Again here you will see a <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/search.php?search_query=scrap+matrix+metal+flower&Search=" target="_blank">Scrap Matrix metal</a> which has been used in a different way.

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, I am pleased (and a little ashamed) to show you my 'Creative Mess' (literally). I am the sort of lady that has a pristine house but when it comes to my craft studio it is a MESS and very very big mess. I attempt to keep this space tidy, but well, it just doesn't work too well. My inner piglet is released here and I have learnt to deal with the fact that my messy side has to be released somewhere.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When we moved from the sea side up to the Perth hills we were fortunate enough to purchase a home that previously had an at home daycare attached. This room was quickly converted to my craft studio. It does have the potential to look like this when I get in the mood to clean it (I will be honest, it is rare it looks like this).</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I am happy to bring to you a mixed media canvas which I call 'Timeless Love'. Now I understand there is a fair bit going on here and that is ok. Sometimes you just need to let your hands and mind take complete control and see where you are led, often it can be in wacky and unexpected directions. </div>

This canvas started with me wanting to recycle a few bits and pieces which were laying on my desk. As you can see below anything really can make a great textured background, here we have corrugated cardboard, scrap wool and lacey ribbon (I am sure there is a more technical name for this stuff?). All of these items adhered to my canvas using a little <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/finnabair-3d-gel-gloss-8oz/" target="_blank">3D Gloss Gel</a>. Never be afraid to experiment with your backgrounds and texture, so many items can be used to create great depth.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I am just so excited to announce I will be joining the inaugural <a href="https://scrapmatrixblog.blogspot.com.au/2017/08/we-have-team.html" target="_blank">Scrap Matrix Design Team</a>. Receiving the e-mail from <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/" target="_blank">Scrap Matrix</a> owner Vicki inviting me to the team, wow, you read your e-mail and think, me? ME? you have chosen ME?. It really is such an honour to be chosen in a position like this along side such talented artists. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Joining this team is the perfect little kick start I need to awake my slightly dormant creative spirit. I have to admit I have been a little bad at finding 'me' time this year OR when I have found this time I have sat in my studio either tidying or shuffling papers. This team announcement has made me block a day, a day when my daughter is at school, an entire day (well school hours) dedicated to create. Tuesday is now officially creative day, no exceptions.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am really excited to receive my DT box of goodies, it should be here any day now. It is going to be like Christmas in August, how wonderful. Cannot wait to share a few sneaky photos on social media.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Looking forward to bringing you inspirational projects with some seriously amazing product!!</span></div>
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I wish you all a happy and creative day.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Hi Everyone,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Today I would like to bring to you a small mixed media canvas which has been created with a lot of upcyled components. The things I find at my local op shop (that would be thrift story for anyone in the US), always amazes me. One day I found all these items on the same visit, below you will see someones half finished semi stitched craft felt project, an old spoon, a screw, a broken necklace and press studs. I set myself a little internal challenge to include all these items into one project. </span></div>
<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">And the results was this......I understand this is a little wacky and may not be to everyones liking, but that is ok, art is subjective. I create for myself and myself only, I think as long as I finish it and say 'I like it' that is all that matters. </span></div>

Hello my creative friends...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Today I bring to you a canvas I have entitled 'The Journey'. This week I have to admit has been a rather tough one for me emotionally, there has been more lows than highs this week. This canvas was created with some sadness in my heart, however with sadness eventually comes some light and sunshine. Sometimes our journeys can be tough, but each step makes us a little bit stronger and teaches us something. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I created this canvas solely to enter into <a href="http://karolinabukowska.pl/the-designers-faves-challenge-contrasting-colors-glitter-and-metal/" target="_blank">'The Designer's Faves Challenge'</a> Glitter, Metal, Contrast from the Finnabair Creative Team. This challenge is closing on the 15th of this month, I am bringing this canvas in just in the knick of time. I find working to a deadline works well for me, makes me move, inspires me to get into my studio and create. Can I also just say positive feedback from you all lately has been overwhelming on social media, THANK YOU, I feel the love, seriously. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This challenge required glitter, not something I usually work a lot with to be honest, but boy oh boy did I enjoy getting my sparkle on (glitter on my face for days!). You will see dazzling gold raised dots, a glitter vial and glitter throughout the feathered part of her head piece. The metal part of the challenge, oh metal, how I love thee, I don't think I need to point out the metal for you. </div>

Recently I have begun to make small adjustments to my life, I will not bore you with all the details here, however I would like to share with you that I do plan to create more and share more with you. It is time. I am pleased to see I still have followers here, thank you, this means a lot to me, you loyal crew!!. </i></span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i><br /></i></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>I must be the last person to get hold of some of the Art Alchemy waxes!! they arrived this week and it was time to play. This is my third under water scene and instead of my usual green and blue theme I went with a whole range of colours which I dabbed on with a paint brush. The Art Alchemy waxes by Finnabair are a dream to work with over black gesso - LOVE. I think I will now need to go back and buy the missing colours to complete my collection. </i></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Day one of the new year and I thought I would kick things off with a new project. This one was literally months in the making. The background sat on my desk created and dormant for ages as I was unsure what to do with it once I had made it, it suddenly had become a UFO floating in my studio mess. One day at the op shop I picked up a zip, old spoon and and a light bulb and suddenly it all came together. A creation was formed!! yes!!. This project does tell a story, but it is personal so I will be keeping it to myself ;-). Sorry about the light reflection in the main picture, once it is in a box it becomes very tricky to photograph because of the glass. </span></span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Created using mainly Finnabair products, paints, mica, beads, stamps, crackle paint. All always such BRILLIANT products to work with. </span></span></i><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue",Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you for visiting and taking the time to stop and look at my work. </span></span></i><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i>*sigh* I look at my last blog post date and it was over a year ago, disgusting!!!, what a disgrace. I really really need to lift my game, this poor little blog is so neglected and unloved. I have decided 2017 is the year of change, more craft, more art, more mixed media, more time in my studio - MORE blogging!. I can no longer continue to collect art supplies and not use them. All these ideas continue to run through my head and I never make the time to create, it is so important to free these creations from my head. There are just way too many ideas rattling around in there. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i>So in saying that, I would like to introduce you to a newly created tag which I decided to call Raise Me Up. This tag was created for a good friend of mine for her 40th Birthday. If you look closely you will see quite a few different products, what do you see?</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><i>Background - Finnabair Copper Crackle Paste, Finnabair Micro Beads, gold thread, Tim Holtz Film Roll, bronze embellishments. Finnabair Paints. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Foreground - Image, bronze embellishments, watch parts, Finnabair Gold Mica Flakes, Kaisercraft Clocks, Finnabair Micro Beads. </i></span></span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Well today brings closure to my time on the Finnabair Creative Team, this will be my last project for this amazing team. As I type I am feeling mixed emotions, I feel a little sad, I feel excited to see what the new team will bring and I also feel happy to keep on creating new and funky projects, the craft journey is never over is it?. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Anna from the bottom of my heart for choosing me to be a part of her team, receiving that e-mail letting me know I was accepted was such an amazingly joyous moment in my life. I will let you all in on a little secret. I applied for this team knowing it was a long shot, thinking in my head it was a slim to none chance of making it through, I really had serious doubts in myself and in my work. However I made it, I was chosen. My point here (I do have one), ALWAYS believe in yourself, believe in your work (others do!!), challenge yourself, set goals, do not doubt yourself, reach for the stars....you never know, you just may grab a couple of those stars!! (they are not out of reach). </div>

Ok moving right along to my project this month, let me introduce you to my second edition ocean themed mixed media OTP. In late July I created a mixed media canvas called Oceania which can you find via <a href="http://scrappingontheedge.blogspot.com.au/2015/07/oceania-finnabair-creative-team.html" target="_blank">this hyperlink.</a> At the time I did not make a tutorial but by popular request I am happy to bring that to you now but the project this time is on a much larger scale. Please note the below tutorial is for the outside of the box only, the inside of the box will require a whole different tutorial. </div>

This case is a Julie Nutting Alterable Doll Luggage Set by Prima Item #910884. I had been hoarding this in my stash for quite some time and this being my last project, it was time to take this epic challenge on. Isn't this case amazing?</div>

To begin I applied some <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-art-basics/prima-art-basics-modeling-paste" target="_blank">Art Basics Modeling Paste </a>with a palette knife through the <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-stencils-masks/prima-elementals-6,5x10,25-stencil-bubbles" target="_blank">Prima Elementals Bubble Stencil.</a> I applied to the front, back and hinge side of the case. Allowing ample time for air drying drying before moving not to the next step. </div>

I am always head down over baskets and and boxes in thrift shops collecting little treasures such as the ones you see below. I adhered some dangly beads from the top and twisted cheese cloth from the bottom. Also from the thrift shop I picked up this ball of thready wool, using a palette knife I applied a stack of <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-art-basics/prima-art-basics-modeling-paste" target="_blank">Art Basics Modeling Paste </a>to the top and bottom of my case, then taking looped sections of wool I begin to push it into the paste with my fingers. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As my paste was still obviously nice thick and still very wet I begun placing beads, these beads were beads from an old broken necklace. They make a perfect ocean floor don't they?. For some of the larger beads I added a dot of super glue behind the bead before pushing it further into the <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-art-basics/prima-art-basics-modeling-paste" target="_blank">modelling paste</a>, just for that extra support. Randomly amongst my ocean floor I also adhered in bronze embellishments, seaweed, anchors and fish. As my <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-art-basics/prima-art-basics-modeling-paste" target="_blank">paste </a>was REALLY thick this section took at least 3 days of full drying time, keeping in mind it was rather cold here in Australia (summer would have been a different story). </div>

Let's take a moment to look at my fish, what you are looking at here is two pairs of old earrings. The fish tails are one pair, the fish bodies are another pair. Art can be made from so many different things, never go past that box of old weird looking old jewellery in your local thrift store without having a little look. My fish gills are made from a cut bronze flower, in the second photo below you will see the fish lips have been cut from the flower stamen. </div>

Below you will see as part of my background I have also adhered some <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/prima-sunrise-sunset-mechanicals-jump-rings?filter_name=jump%20rings" target="_blank">Prima Mechanicals Jump Rings,</a> this just adds further texture (and will later hold micro beads).<br />

The next step is time consuming but also I think therapeutic and relaxing. I took some <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-art-basics/prima-art-basics-heavy-gesso-black" target="_blank">Art Basics Heavy Black Gesso</a> and covered the entire outside of the box.

I really wanted lots of different shades of blues and green so I did use quite a few different paint colours. My paints of choice were Lumiere Halo Blue Gold, Lumiere Pearlescent Blue, Lumiere Metallic Olive Green, Silks Teal Zircon, Silks Bolivian Blue, Silks African Jade and also Art Ingredients <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabair-art-ingredients/prima-art-ingredients-mica-powder-teal" target="_blank">Mica Powder in Teal </a>(which had been mixed with a small amount of <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-art-basics/prima-art-basics-soft-gloss-gel" target="_blank">Art Basics Soft Gloss Gel</a>). </div>

To further accent the colour and add even more dazzle dazzle I sprinkled on very small amounts of Art Ingredients Gold Mica Powder to the top and bottom of the box.

Hi Everyone, </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I am here with you today to share a special canvas project, I call this one 'special' as it contains 12 mini 2" square works of art within the canvas. When I began this project I initially thought 12 x 2" squares would be a good challenge for myself and hoped in my head that I would be able to think of enough mini arts to fill all the squares. Well let me tell you once I began, the ideas kept flowing and I think I could have filled an extra 12 squares. I truly loved making this project and am very happy with how it has turned out. Plans are being formulated as I type to make a new creation with squares very very soon. If you have never tried something like this before I can certainly recommend giving it a go. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
To begin my project I painted a 8" x 10" white canvas with <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-art-basics/prima-art-basics-heavy-gesso-black" target="_blank">Art Basics Heavy Black Gesso</a> and allowed this to dry. Step 2 for my background was to apply <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabair-art-extravagance/prima-art-extravagance-texture-paste-graphite" target="_blank">Art Extravagance Graphite Texture Paste </a>to the face and sides of the canvas through the <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-stencils-masks/prima-elementals-7x9-stencil-grungy-grid" target="_blank">Grungy Grid Stencil. </a> Once the texture paste had completely dried I spritzed my canvas with a mist created with water and <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabair-art-ingredients/prima-art-ingredients-mica-powder-gold" target="_blank">Gold Mica Powder</a>, allowing to dry slightly and dabbing off with a baby wipe. At this stage I thought the background just needed a little something else so I grabbed some blue metallic thread and wrapped it around and around the canvas. It ended up creating exactly the look I was hoping to achieve. </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I took some heavy weighted card stock and cut 12 x 1" squares. With a palette knife I gently applied a thickish layer of <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabairs-art-basics/prima-art-basics-modeling-paste-big-jar" target="_blank">Art Basics Modeling Paste</a>. As I did not want a smooth finish with the back of the palette knife I gentle dabbed over the entire surface of the square to create some peaks. To complete I sprinkled on some <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabair-art-ingredients/prima-art-ingredients-micro-beads-copper" target="_blank">Copper Micro Beads</a> and then allowed my squares to completely dry (overnight, do NOT use a heat gun, I did try the heat gun approach, patience is the answer). </div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After patiently waiting for my squares to dry overnight it was time to paint them. To paint them I made two mixes of colour, combining Art Basics Soft Gloss Gel with A<a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabair-art-ingredients/prima-art-ingredients-mica-powder-rust" target="_blank">rt Ingredients Rust Mica Powder </a>and also separately <a href="http://mixedmediaplace.com/finnabair-s-store/finnabair-art-ingredients/prima-art-ingredients-mica-powder-blue" target="_blank">Blue Mica Powder.</a> My first coat was with the rust followed by light dabs of the blue just for a little contrast. </div>

I created 8 squares using modelling paste and you will note there are 4 squares with stamped embossed mica images. This coming Monday the 27th July there will be an additional tutorial by me within the Spreads Your Wings Academy Volume 3 to fully explain how the stamped embossing technique is carried out. </div>
