March Mood Board - Mixed Media Canvas

Hi everyone and welcome to our latest

 Mood Board for March.
Life is a series of thousands of tiny miracles. Notice them.

I decided to make a mixed media canvas using these fab colours, and I have added in lots of tiny details.

HERES HOW

Take a large canvas (mine measures 12 x 9.5 inches) and cover with Gesso

When dry take a stencil and texture paste and cover the entire canvas

Now take some paper strips and lace strips and using some white glue, add these down one side and across the base of the canvas (under where it says Family)

Take photo and lots of paper scraps and make a small layered arrangement to one side, adhere to centre of  canvas using foam pads or pieces of card to elevate the layer.

Next  gather lots of assorted embellishments; metal, chipboard, wooden,micro beads etc and place around the paper layers

When happy with arrangement, paint everything with gesso

When dry take some mists and mist around the page

When dry add a few more metal pieces, some flowers, the title and the photo.

PRODUCTS USED

Canvas, homemade gesso, homemade texture paste, stencil, lace, paper pieces, white glue, hot glue, assorted embellishments, wooden title, handmade flowers, foam for flowers, stamens, micro beads, assorted spray mists.
Flower dies by Heartfelt Creations.

March - Spring time!

Hello crafty friends.

Today I, Laneen, like to share my take on our gorgeous March Moodboard. 

I love the cheerful colors, but also the weathered feeling by the elements outside. In the moodboard you can see some gorgeous yellow, green and brown. And also nature like plants, wood, flowers, etc. 

The moment I saw this mood board, I like the idea of using an old weathered photo of a old side table with an old rusty birdcage on it an continue to build from there my layout with layers, some flowers, wooden tags, of course lots of yellow paper and some embellishments to spice it up.

Do you like to read more about it, so please check my personal blog: http://laneen.blogspot.com/2017/03/march-spring-time.html
I am happy with how it turned out and hope you get inspired by my close-ups to play along with this gorgeous challenge. Looking forward to your inspiring work.

New Baby Layout - March Moodboard

Hi everyone

Marelle here from sunny Australia!  I just adore this month's Moodboard - I took inspiration from the yellow and the copper colours to create my layout of my beautiful Grandson Aysen.

I used Faber Castell Glass Gel and coloured it with  Liquitex Yellow paint  and put this through a Tim Holtz stencil.  I also used Dina Wakley's heavy body paint in Penny - just love this combination ! I used some mechanical findings from my stash and some hessian, I painted the chipboard frame with Dina Wakley's Penny heavy body paint.  After I used the paint though the stencil, I heat dried the Penny - I love how the paint reacted with the heat and became textural!

Here is my layout :

Art Journal Page by Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

It's Denise here today, to share my take on this month's mood board! ;-)

It's so beautiful and I really love the sentiment.

So I made an art journal page and it has a similar sentiment too.

"A grateful heart is a magnet to Miracles"! 

I loved that quote and is so true! ;-)

Here's some close-ups of the page.

I used my stamps, stencils and also some rub-ons and lettering that were lying in my stash for ages.

They actually worked out perfectly.

I am really happy with how it turned out.

We would love you to play along and can't wait to see what you create.
