Creativation SPLATTER ROOM!

At Creativation 2017 the Splatter Room was sponsored by 3M, Scotch Blue Painters Tape,  DecoArt and Pinspiration!

 

They were demonstrating that the new 3M Scotch Blue Painters Tape did not let paint seep when painting.

 

Here I am suited up ready for the SPLATTER ROOM!  Before we went in we prepped our canvas with stripes of the 3M Scotch Blue Painters Tape. 

I am in the far corner getting ready to add yellow paint to my canvas.

 

SPLATTER...

 SPLATTER...

 

SPLATTER...

Now I am picking another color to SPLATTER...

 and SPLATTER again.

 

When finished we left our paintings at the booth to dry!

 Here is my finished canvas!  With the tape removed. Pretty cool demonstration!

 

If you ever have a chance to SPLATTER paint I highly recommend taking the opportunity.  I would love to do this at home... I  just don't have room for a splatter booth!

 

Valentines with Altered Pages and DecoArt! & Unruly PaperArts...

Stop by Unruly PaperArts for "Inspire your heart with art day" 

I am going to share my Valentines!!

 

 

When January ends it means one thing... Valentines is just around the corner!  Today I have a few Valentines postcards!  These will have to mailed in envelopes as they have dimensional embellishments on them!

Three sweet Valentines...

In my stash I had a few heavy duty blank postcards that I decided to use for my Valentines. First, paint the postcards with DecoArt paints Media Fluid Acrylics: Primary Magenta, Cadmium Red Hue and Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint: Celebration Pink. Let it dry!

Apply a thin coat of Matte Medium add doilies, sheet music and Altered Pages collage images. 

On one of the cards I added a couple of hearts using a stencil and DecoArt Modeling Paste. Let it air dry.

 Adhere old sheet music with Matte Medium, it makes great background material.

Then add Doilies and Altered Pages collage images with Matte Medium. Let dry. Once dry add Washi Tape, Dew Drops and Wink of Stella for a bit of sparkle!

HAPPY VALETINES DAY 

YOUNG LOVE 

HOYDEN SPRING 

This has been a great month Thanks DecoArtst for all of the great products, love how they compliment Altered Pages collages and more!

Journal from a Composition Book!

I sure hope everyone on the AlteredPages.com Design Team is having as much fun as I am with the products we received from our partner DecoArt this month!!!  The products are high quality and clean up is a snap with soap and water!
 

Today I have altered a Composition Journal for my design team project on the Altered Pages Blog!

 

First, I covered the book front and back with gesso. I love starting with gesso when a book has a smooth shiny surface.

 The gesso gives the paint something to hold onto! Let it dry.

Then with the DecoArt DecouPage I added an interesting Vintage Text - Dictionary Page, making sure to get out all of the bubbles. Once the page was dry I added some texture here with DecoArt  Modeling Paste and Punchinella on the front and back.  Then let it dry thoroughly.

Once dry, start painting with Media Fluid Acrylics:  Primary Magenta, Antiquing Cream and Cadmium Red Hue and Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint: Celebration Pink. Leave interesting areas of the text unpainted.  For more texture and contrast spray with irRESITable!

 

Back and front of the journal, ink around the edges and the spine of the journal with brown.  

 

This is what I had planned... got this far and felt it wasn't finished... so I kept going.

 

Add bubbles to the page with a small bottle top dipped in Glamour Dust Ultra Fine Glitter Paint: Black.  Also painted a frame around the areas of test not covered in paint.

 

Decided the Leaky Shed Queen Swallow would look great on the journal.  I inked Leaky Shed Queen Swallow with black ink and heat embossed her with clear embossing powder.

 

Adhere the Leaky Shed Queen Swallow and Dew Drops with Tacky Glue. 

 

Finally, add Dew Drops with Tacky Glue, add the Giant Glitz Rhinstone from Mailbox Muse Kit All Dolled Up.

 

Add the Washi with DecoArt Matt Medium.  Finally a little washi tape with a little 

Here is my journal!
