Pride Week by Tracey B

 Good morning everyone

I love travelling which I do a fair bit of without much of a plan.

Arrived in Berlin in time for Pride week which was chaotic, stunning and all together fabulous.

This LO is based on this month's sketch (with a little nod to the mood board).

Products I've used include

Vicki Boutin patterned paper - Inspired

 Prima Effect Paste - Unicorn

Lotus stencil

Twinkling h2Os

Studio Light collage paper

glitter card stock

brick die cut

chipboard letters which I covered with Deco Foil transfer gel Duo and MINC Hot Pink Reactive Foil.  (This was the first time I've used a MINC and it was super easy.   I missed some spots with the transfer gel so the foil didn't stick completely at the edges in places but that's user error and I will get better!)

Vicki Boutin Color Study Thickers which I covered with Vicki Boutin Creativefx iridescent glaze and Colour Arte Silks acrylic glaze (Pink Anthurium).

 Distress Mica Stain - Frosty Mint

Distress Spritz - Peacock Feathers

Cocoa Vanilla puffy stickers - Sunkissed

Lucky Finding Artist Trading Collective - Colour Wheel

Happy by Tracey B

Good morning everyone

Isn't this year just zipping along.   Hard to believe it's already February.

Seeing as it is February, there are some brand new challenges to inspire you.

I based this LO on the mood board.  Such happy colours for a happy event in my life (no judgement please!)

Products I've used include

Kaiser Craft brick stencil

Light and Fluffy modelling paste

Distress crayon (Wicked Elixer, Flickering Candle & Jack-o-lantern)

Gelato (pink) 

TCW mini specimen stencil

Black gesso with sponge

grid stamp (using crayons)

Die cuts from my stash

Lucky Findings Foundation pack - Bursted Oceania (washi)

chipboard - from my stash

Dina Wakley paint (Tubular, Stoked and Lemon)

American Craft thickers - Wildflower and Honey

Vicki Boutin Sweet Rush ephemera

Heidi Swapp Wanderlust foam word which I heat embossed instead of foiling.   (I wouldn't necessarily recommend this as it buckled - a lot!)

ATC sized Tunnel Book, by Amanda H

Hello friends!

When your ONE ATC card (ATC Prompt: Week 6 Mixed Media) turns into a whole little book......

This was inspired by the tunnel book that Dina Wakley shared on social media last week.

It was cute, looked easy to make and I knew it would be PERFECT to use the NEW Lucky Findings Artist Trading Collectives.

Background combined book papers (Thank you Gel Medium!) with Dina Wakley Acrylic paints and Tim Holtz Distress Oxides and Watercolour Pencils. 

Here are some basic steps with some measurements if you want to make a "tunnel" book!

Thanks for looking!

More ATCs by Tracey B

 Good morning everyone,

how did you all go with the Australia Day crop challenges?   Hope you found time to get your craft on.

I finished off a couple of ATCs for this month: Water colour and Texture

For this ATC I firstly used some water colour paper and masked off using some skinning washi tape.

I dropped on some Kuretake water colours (wet on dry), fussy cut a Lucky Findings Artist Trading Collective Harlequin image and added some tulle, ribbon and beads.   Simples.

Products I've used include

Ink and a stencil

Tissue paper

Washi Tape

I sewed on some ribbon and then covered some of it with ink mixed with 13 @rts texture powder through a stencil

Impasto through another stencil

And then added my focal point: an image from Lucky Findings Artist Trading Collective - Painty Frida with a die cut flower and some threads behind and mounted on some thick cardboard for dimension.

If you haven't already done so, check out all the new Artist Trading Collective images.   There's something for everyone and they make creating super easy.

cheers
