Piece of me

This diary belongs to... me.

Hello everyone!
My art journal was left neglected for a very long time. It`s cover was started long ago, by simply gluing some white fabric on it and then covered it with white gesso. Then I used some left over white crackle paste on top.
I don`t use it that much, but I have some pages done.
I`ve been looking at it lately and thinking that it`s time to do something with this cover.
Well, the day has come and I finaly made it!

Here`s my video with the process:

List of the materials used:

Have a great day!

Circular cards for Dusty Attic Moodboard

Hello everyone!!
We have a new fresh and bright moodboard over at Dusty Attic blog.
I created these circular cards, each with the colors of our board.They are small, sweet and nice for gift giving. My chipboards were treated with a few pastes, waxes and different color gesso.

What`s interesting is their bases. I used embossing dabber trough lace stencil on watercolor paper. Then added white embosing power and I recieved a resist effect.Color for my cards came from Watercolor Cofections by Prima.

My title here is coverd with Antique Brilliance Wax in Lucky Emerald. The leaf is treated with Green-Grey Rust Effect Paste and the scroll with Gold Rust Paste, all by Finnabair.

The heart and the leaf here, got a coat of Cream color of Old Walls set of pastes and the scroll got covered in black gesso and two colors of waxes - Antique Brilliance - Amethyst Magic and Lucky Emerald.
