Altered Wodden divider for Finnabair - video tutorial

Hello dear crafty friends!

After CT April's Art Recipe projects were published I got some requests to make a video tutorial, showing how I've created it, so  I've done it and that's what i'm sharing today.

Instead of recycling 2 tuna tin cans I decided to alter a wooden divider which is actually a packaging of Prima embellishments.

There are no difficult steps, so even if you are a beginner you can follow it and have success!

What makes this piece a WOW is the use of some amazing Art Alchemy Metalique and Sparks paints and add the genius Gold Mica Powder.

Here it the Step by Step Video Tutorial:

I  hope you will like it and feel inspired to create something similar - don't forget to share with us.

If you have any doubts please don't hesitate, write it at the video comment.

Gratitude Art Journal - Art Daily Cafe

Hello Crafty friends!

This month is very special for me because 14 years ago, today, my daughter was born. 
This month we have Gratitude as Art Daily Cafe challenge theme and no doubt, in my life, she is what I'm most grateful of!

When creating the Art Journal spread I had in my mind all we have been through since she arrived.
 She is my sunshine, my true love!
 She makes me laugh, make me proud, irritates me, annoys me and challenge me - all mothers will understand!

All those feelings reflects in my spread, a bit messy I know, but it did give me a lot of joy  and excitement creating it. 

My daughter doesn't like pink but I do, I can say it is my favorite color, and it is this month's color, as well LOL. Another reason to use it is that she is as sweet as the Pink color! 

In my Art Journal spread I used many shades of pink as well as some others representing the different moments in Life.

As layers are what compose our life  and  because I love them! my page was built one on top of the other. Hope you share with me the love for it!

Found and added to my spread, Nietzche's amazing quote:
"The essence of all beautiful Art, all great Art, is Gratitude!"

Thanks for stopping by!

Altering a Wooden Plate with lindy's

Hey gang!

Anat here sharing  my new project with a Step by Step  video tutorial - Altering a Wooden Plate -  Mixed Media Wall decor. In this video I'm creating a unique Background using 2 fabulous Mists.

So let’s start…

Basic Process

• prime the wooden plate with White Heavy Gesso, to make it transparent add water
• Add texture with paste and stencil
• Time to add color to the plate, starting with: Treasure Island Aqua Moonshadow Spray.
  continue with Buccaneer Bay Blue Moonshadow Mist
• To highlight the texture I use Old White Matte Wax
• Add some stamping using Black Archival Ink and background stamps
• Cover, with Black gesso, all embellishments, and brush them with White Gesso to highlight all details
• To add amazing copper effect to the elements, use Embossing pen together with Detail Super Fine Embossing Powder - Cool Man Copper
• Build the composition with all elements
• Add colors to the elements: Danny Zuko's Denim Flat Fabio Spray, Poutine Gold Squirt
• Rub a bit of White Matte Wax or Dry Brush Gesso
• Adhere some Melange Art Pebbles, cover them with Clear Gesso
• Mix a bit of Bodacious Blush Magical with water and brush the Art Pebbles, with the mixture
• Add Copper Microbeads using Soft Gel
