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:

Creating Album pages with Lindy's

Hello best gang!

It's Anat here and for today's post I'm bringing you a new Video Tutorial showing how to create Album pages with Lindy's Starburst and Vintage Sprays and Lindy's Magicals.

Oh my! I enjoyed so much creating this mini Album! so join me!

Basic Steps

1. I previously prepared 4 spreads from a 300g watercolor paper and 8 flips for the photos. Attach the flips to the spreads 2 in each one. Try to place them in opposite sides so they support each other,
2. With the help of a paintbrush, spatula and water spray add color to the pages using gorgeous Cotton Candy Pink, TiffanyLou Blue, Mad Hatter Mint Green and Cape Cod Coral Magicals
3. Add stamping with Black Archival Ink, each spread different stamps (see below what I used).
4. Add texture to all spreads with Light Paste and Stencil
5. Add a second color to each spread – Opal Sea Oat, Whale Watch Blue, Yellow Rose of Texas, Fuzzy Navel Peach Sprays.
6. For the Album cover, take another 300g paper, cut it in 4 pieces and repeat on every piece the 1-5 steps. (Each one with different colors). When dry cut them as you like for the Album cover decoration.
7. Color chipboard embellishments with Burnt Umber, Screamin' Banshee Black, Golden Doubloons, Ethereal Emerald Vintage Sprays
8. Add to the chipboards - Cotton Candy Pink, Cape Cod Coral, Glory of the Seas Magicals
9. Add White Gesso dry brush on the Embellishments, in all 4 spreads.
10. Give it a try and have fun:)
