Vintage Collage Canvas - Video Tutorial

Hello mixed media friends! 

It's Anat here. Today I want to share my new project - a Vintage Collage Canvas.

 The Canvas inspiration is a Mix of Finnabair's collage projects and Carmen Miranda images!  Carmen Miranda was a gorgeous and colorful Brazilian Singer, who always used on her head a Fruits & Flowers Adornment.

Icreated it in a Vintage style using the amazing Woman image from Carte Postale Tissue paper which covers almost the entire Canvas. 

To color the Canvas and match the image I used some wonderful Art Alchemy Liquid Acrylics paints.

Watch the step by step process here:

Hope I have inspired you to create and use these delicious products!

Love completely - Altering a House shaped Frame

Hello crafty friends!

Anat Here with a new step by step tutorial. In this video I willl show how I altered a Wooden house shaped frame in  Shabby Style, using lots of shakers and some other Lindy's products.

So let's get started...

Basic Process

• First Step: cut the House shape from a Resist Canvas - Lindy's matches gorgeously on it!
• To color it I use water and 2 Lindy's shakers: Oom Pah pah Pink and California Poppy Gold
• Cover the Frame with White Heavy Gesso
• Dry it and add pieces of different Washi Tapes
• Spread randomly, White Crackle paste
• When dry I add to the cracked frame my favorite Lindy's Medieval Gold Glitz Spray
  tip: In case you are not familiar with the Glitz Sprays: These sprays contain just the shimmer! so they are perfect when you don't want to add color, only shimmer

• I have picked some Dusty Attic's Chipboards and primed them with White Heavy Gesso
• To color the chippies I used Lindy's Shakers, starting with: Alpine Ice Rose
  tip: To get Shabby-Pastel colors, I sprayed on top Lindy's Sidewalk Chalk Spray, instead of water. Next I used the Amazing Glittering Gold Shaker. On the Window I used Time Travel Teal  Shaker.
• I decided to add some texture on the chipboards for that I'm using Lindy's embossing powders.
  tip: I’m using Versamark pen because I don't to cover all chipboard
  First I used Starbright Gold Green Lindy's EP, and next C'est la Vie Cerise Lindy's EP
• Instead of using colored flowers I grabbed white paper flowers and dyed them with the same shakers I used previously: Oom Pah pah Pink, Glittering Gold, Guten Tag Teal
  Here again I spray Lindy's Sidewalk Chalk, to soften the colors
• Another embellishment to be colored are the resin mould pieces. I mix a bit of White Heavy Gesso with Lindy's Loonie Toonie Teal Squirt
  tip: As the Squirts are thick but still liquid they are perfect for this purpose
  Dry and add on top a bit of the same Squirt, to get a two-tuned pieces
• Now it is time to put everything together

I made a video tutorial so you can watch every step of the creation process:

Altered brush Dusty Attic's moodboard

Hello crafty souls!

Anat here today with my Altered project inspired by the Bright & Joyful Moodboard for January challenge.

My altered Paint Brush was rather simple to create and the out come is fantastic due to the amazing chipboards I chosen to use.

I cover the Paint Brush with Finnabair Metalique Paint - Silver spoon, added dry brush of white gesso and finally added texture with Finnamair's Icing Paste - White Gold.

To the Bristles I added Blue, Yellow and White gold.

The Lacey Trims, Ornate Corner #6, Geo-Tribal Motif #1 were painted with Finnabair's Metalique Pure Sunshine and rubbed with Finnabair's Blue Lagoon Wax.

DA 1345 - Lacey Trims

 DA 0365 - Ornate Corner #6

DA 2261 - Geo-Tribal Motif #1

The Fancy Accents #1 was painted with Finnabair's Metalique Light patina and the mini Art Stones added to it were rubbed with Finnabair's Vintage Gold Wax.

DA 1623 - Fancy Accents #1

The metal pieces were painted with Metalique Deep waters paint and rubbed with Finnabair's White Gold.
