Winter frame by Anat Weksler

Hello crafty friends!

Anat here with a new project and a new video tutorial. This time I have created a Winter project with Finnabair’s metal Frame.

The wonderful picture, I have used, is kept with me for a while now, it’s mysterious and strong. Using it inside the Metal frame gave both a bigger dimension. It’s almost like you can step into the frame and walk into the snowy forest. It immediately remind me of the quote: "And into the Forest I go to lose my Mind and find My Soul" 

To alter the Frame, I first prepared a base for the image which was placed inside it. Then I added texture, around all frame, with Finnabair-Prima  Black Sand paste and Rust effect pastes. 

All Rust Effect paste sets are so awesome and versatile, you can mixed and apply them on different surfaces.

For the embellishments I prepared beautiful pieces with resin and Finnabair-Prima moulds, added different Finnabair-Prima mechanicals and a leafy chipboard frame. On the leafy chipboard I added the amazing Finnabair-Prima Golden Nugget effect paste. 

Watch the video tutorial to see what I used and how:

Thanks for stopping by!

Xoxo

Magic by Anastasia Kuznetsova

 Hello, friends!

Anastasi is with you today. Today I have prepared for you a new layout "Magic".

At the very beginning, I covered a sheet of scrapbooking paper with a Clear Gesso. Then I applied the Paper Texture Paste through the stencils by Finnabair.

Next, I put together a layered composition. For decoration, I used clay figures, which I covered with Black Heavy Gesso. Then I sprayed them with pearl spray and applied Waxes to the raised parts.

I applied sprays around the composition, and after drying I made impressions with stamps. I sprayed it with White Heavy Gesso, which I diluted a little with water.

At the very end, I added small accents in the form of sequins, beads and glitter. I pasted the accents with Soft Gloss Gel.

You can watch the creation process in this video. Enjoy, Anastasi.

Winged frame by Anastasia Korvyakova

Hello mixed media fans! Anastasia here. I've altered Metal Alarm Clock by Finnabair for my friends' wedding anniversary.

This alteration turned out with a small secret place, because I decided to make a chipboard door. I don't know what my friends can keep in this place... maybe some small love notes?

I've decorated sides of clock with Paper Texture Paste through stencil Vintage Wallpaper. Then I did this pattern darker with liquid acrylic paint Burnt Sienna. This is my favorite color!

Actually, for whole project I used three colors only - Burnt Sienna, White and Green (Dragonfly acrylic paint from metallique serie and Avocado Green liquid acrylic), for elements outside and for background inside. I adore this color combination!

Inside clock I've collected composition from paper elements by Prima. For composition with photo outside I used various metal embellishments which I've covered with Black Gesso and then I added on them a little bit of white acrylic and gold embossing powder.

Hugs, Anastasia Korvyakova (aka nastyalena)
