More Hearts!

It's time for another project for Mixed Media Mojo Monthly Challenge!! All the details are up on the blog today! Please swing by and see some of the details on my project, especially the gorgeousness of the melty Charred Gold Embossing Powder heart!! 

Here is my 6X6 canvas I created for the theme "love" with the twist "wings"

I found the heart with wings stencil and thought it was a perfect center design (it pays to de clutter a storage closet sometimes!) and my Charred Gold ep, it's an addiction, I know. And more playing and practicing with my Twist and Style Tool designed by Eileen Hull.

Thanks for having a look and please hop over to see some of the detail pictures at Mixed Media Mojo!

Have a great day everyone and hope you all get some time to be crafty!

Love Is In The Air

Welcome to February with the Mixed Media Mojo Monthly Challenge!! Be sure to head over to the blog to see all the amazing projects from the DT! This month's challenge is Love, Twist - Wings. Here's my take on the challenge.

It's all about Love....but can you spot my twist?!

I used alcohol inks in Black, Purple and Flamingo (I originally started with gold but didn't like how it showed up so I switched to black) and Yupo paper to create a plaid background. Thanks to my friend Freddie for the instructions on that! I then painted a piece of substrate with the Opal Magic Violet Gold by Finnabair.

I then edge the piece in mica powder. Here is where I originally painted with the Distress paint in Wilted Violet, but I did not like the way it turned out. So I left it aside and worked on my Yupo plaid. I wrote with the embossing pen and then heat embossed with Fractured Ice from Emerald Creek.

And because I didn't like the way one paint turned out, I used black gesso and covered it and liked that much better. I then used my Distress Black Soot marker to colour the word love and stamped it around the border. To add some more texture to the black I used transparent texture paste through the heart stencil. All my little flowers were done with Tattered Florals die and paper from Wild Whisper Designs, I used some Emerald Creek brads for the flower centers.

 And now for a few close ups of the project!

All the flower sections are edged with Distress Ink in Dusty Concord

This button brad was embossed in Onyx Frost, both items from Emerald Creek.

This flower center is a Tiny Tattered Floral.

You can see the heart texture in the background

Printed and then embossed in Fractured Ice

 

And to make sure you could see my twist...here are my "wings" on the little flower fairy
