Rise & Shine in Black – Mixed Media Tag by Priss

Hello, creative souls! I’m Priss BlaFu (@artful.layers), and today I’m sharing a wooden tag full of drama created for the September Release.

I started with a black background, using a stencil with 3D Gloss Gel and Sparks Raven Black to give it a moody texture. For the decoration, I played with the brand-new Finnabair moulds (and I’m seriously in love with them!), painting the details with Sparks Carnival and Masquerade. The focal point of this piece is the gorgeous scarab beetle, finished with Metallique waxes to make it shine with magical iridescence.

It’s a little darker than my usual style, but I absolutely loved exploring these Sparks paints for the first time. They are pure magic!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope this tag inspires you to try something out of your comfort zone and let the darkness surprise you.

Until our next creative adventure, keep your heart messy and your hands full of paint.

Priss

Beetle by Numbers by Lori Woods

Hello creative friends! I was so excited to see the new numbers mould from Finnabair- there are so many possibilities with a mould like this. Since there are so many different pieces on this mould, I thought it would be really fun to create an entire background out of them. I arranged all the numbers over the canvas, leaving some spaces to create a bit of contrast.

For my focal points the new Steampunk beetles mould was perfect. I selected three different sizes of beetles and layered these up with some mechanicals and gears from the mould.

Once everything was ready, I selected a variety of paints and waxes that gave a colourful iridescent insect vibe and finished off with some glittery effect paste.
