Fairy house

I have a old metal bed that was in my home when we purchase in 2003, I always want to do something cool with it.  So I decided to make a fairy village.  Start by putting some burlap on the bed and added soil....  add a few flowers and a glass mushroom or two.  BUT i need a house for the fairy to stay, my bff does thing with gourds and I seen this one in her collection and knew it's was my fairy house.

Started by paint my gourd with a Teal color.  Then I got out my Creative Paperclay and started adding windows and doors.  I want more,so i add small piece of Creative Paperclay on the side to made to the look of rocks.

Now it's time to have fun....  got out my paints and started to paint, added pink to the window and door knob, yellow inside the windows, painted the rocks to look as real as possible.  When I was done, I use a outside clear finishing spray.  But when i was done, i need a walk way, so I got my Creative Paperclay out again and made a few stepping stones.

Dream weaver Stencils guest Designer

I am so honored to be asked to be a guest designer for Dreamweaver Stenicles for the month of July,  I will be posting a new project every Thursday in July using a Dreamweaver Product.  Make sure you stop by on Thursday and check them out

My first project is a large 12 x 24 canvas, I had so much fun with this one.  Lots of layers and dimension, with Embossing Paste and Stencils

 Dream of Flowers

Started with a 12 x 24 canvas and added some sheet music to the background

Add some color, I used Golden Hansa Yellow Opaque and Pyrrole Orange, blended them with a baby wipe

Stencils:  LX 7024 Zen Flowers
              LM 193 Dragonfly
              LM 257 Heliconia Butterfly

Now add your Dreamweaver Embossing Paste to the Zen Flower, Dragonfly and Butterfly onto canvas as need.  I did three Zen Flowers and two Dragonflies and One Butterfly

Let Dreamweaver Embossing Paste dry over night.  I used Golden Quinacridone Magenta on the Zen Flowers and water it down at the end allowing the paint to drip.

I used Duo from UsArtQuest as a sizing for the Dreamweaver Metallic F/X Mica power to my dragonflies and the butterfly, give them lots of sparkle

I just love the way my canvas turned out, just amazing all the dimension I got using Dreamweavers embossing paste and stencils.

Playing with my Zing Cutting Machine

I love all the wonderful thing you can do with your Zing cutting machine.  Let me tell you about what I did with it.  I personally can't draw very well and need to make a canvas for a baby shower..  So, I took a photo of the mommy to be.......

After take a photo of the mommy to be, I put it into PhotoShop and trace the outside of the image and save that.  Place that into my Make the Cut folder..  Place a Clear Transparency on my matte and cut myself out a stencil of the mommy to be.

Canvas:
used PanPastels in the background (pastel pink and purple).  Place butterfly stencils from SinCity stamps on my Pan Pastel background and spray over them with Pink and Purple Dye spray.  (had to make my own, all my color where too rich (I want something soft).
Place Stencil I made with my Zing cutting Machine on my canvas and used Pink paint to color the image in.  Add a heart from music paper that has (my life) words in the heart.  Trace the image to bring her out more and I was done.

Love the way this turn out and the great technique using my Zing Cutting Machine.

thanks for stopping by today
