Step by step Altered Hoop for Finnabair CT

Hello mixed media souls! 

For my today's project I’ve Altered an Embroidery Hoop using a vintage girl image, amzing Finnabair's products and chipboards.

To alter the Hoop I first inserted a piece of cotton embroidery fabric, added glue to make sure it won't detach and primed it with Sculpture Medium.
As soon as it was dry I made a color spray using Boudoir Pink Impasto paint and water.

When the background was ready it was time to prepare some of the elements for decorating the Hoop.

I made a Step by Step Tutorial so you can watch the entire process here:

Congrats Bouquet

Hello crafty souls!

Anat here, I'm back today sharing my project inspired by the beautiful Dusty Attic's November Mood -Board, using mainly new collection's chippies.

When I saw the mood-board I  immediately had the idea of this Romantic Bouquet.

I've created it on Woodouts Ice cream MDF base and wanted it to look like an Ice Cream Bouquet.

On watercolor paper I stamped some flower bouquets using Prima stamp, colored them with watercolors and fussy cut.

I covered the  top of the Ice Cream base with Finnabair-Prima paper paste and colored it with Lindy's Alpine Ice Rose Spray. In the lower part I spread the same paste through a stencil, colored it with Lindy's Green with Envy Green Spray and added a bit Lindy's Cocklebells Coral Spray, specially on the raised texture.

The various chipboards were treated differntley:

-  Triangle Panel Small  - was painted with Finnabair Prima Dragonfly Metalique paint and hot embossed with Stampendous Aged Pink

- Swirls - were painted with Finnabair Prima Dragonfly Metalique paint.

- Swirly Flourish, Baroque Flourish #4, Chains - were hot embossed with Stampendous Chanky Copper  and painted with Finnabair prima Boudoirs Pink impasto paint.

- Mini Ornate Frame #2 - was hot embossed with Stampendous Chanky Copper  mixed with Stampendous Aged Pink

DA2337 - Triangle Panel Small

DA 0312 - Chains

DA2352 - Swirly Flourish

DA2367 - Baroque Flourish #4

DA2356 - Swirls

DA2286 - Mini Ornate Frame #2

 I hope you will find my techniques and tips interesting, whether you are a beginner or an advanced artist.

So let's start...

Basic Process

• I designed and cut 3 Dovecote out of cardboard and primed them with White Heavy Gesso
• Next I covered each with a different Tissue Paper using soft gel
• When dry I spread Plaster Paste using a stencil and quickly, before drying, I added on top and Heat Embossed one of this 3 Lindy's Embossing Powders: Midnight Copper, Cleopatra's Copper, Bling-y Blonde
• Now time to add gorgeous sprays to each card:
  1. Buccaneer Bay Blue Moon Shadow Spray
  2. California Poppy Gold and Mission Bells Brown Starburst Sprays
  3. Jazzy Jivin Purple and Milk Chocolate Brown Starburst Sprays
• After drying I rubed a bit of Metalique waxes on the cards 
•  Next I colored Dusty Attic's  chipboards, I will be on my cards:
  - The Doodads #6, Ornate Corner #4 and Elegant Swirls #9 with Beaver Tail Brown squirt- The Ginkgo Biloba with Loonie Toonie Teal Squirt-  The  Jewelry Drops #5 and Bulb (Industrial Globes#3) with Ponderosa Pines Olive
  - The Barometer with Antique Gold, Glittering Gold- The Broken Bits #1- Numbers with Aged Copper- The Marigod Yellow Orange Starburst Spray was added to the Elegant Swirls #9
