Mixed Media Altered frame and Lavinia stamps

Happy Thursday all!
It has been awhile since I have posted to my blog however I am hoping it will be a little more frequent in the future!  I have been working on my online store
Cardsbycharlene as my retirement date is nearing♥
I am sharing a mixed media frame I did with the amazing Lavinia stamps!
These stamps caught my eye awhile ago and I had to cave and start playing with them.
I have used 4 of their stamps in this scene...Willow the witch, Bats, Seasonal Tree, and Fairy Web.
I took a gold frame and applied black gesso, and then used art alchemy waxes .  I used the Versa Fine Clair inks for the background of the image, except for the yellow it is a chalk I had. Most of the supplies  I used for this project are from 7 Kids Craft Store.  I stamped the cauldron twice and then made a little slice in the top and put a little cotton to give the effect of the steam.
Challenges:
Lavinia World #9
Love to craft #38 Sept. anything goes
Polkadoodles challenge wk 37 anything goes
The Fairy and the Unicorn September Challenge
Crafting by design September anything goes
Crafty Creations #398 anything goes

Have a great day all and thanks for stopping by!

Snow Queen

A very happy Monday to you all!  It is time for another challenge at Aurora Wings, and it is your favorite "Anything Goes"!  Can you believe it has been 2 years we have been able to create with these beautiful images.  To celebrate the occasion we are doubling up the prizes so be sure to head over to the challenge blog and read all about it!





For my project I have used the the beautiful "Snow Queen".  My image is colored with copics.  When I finished coloring the image, I adhered my my images to a light weight piece of chipboard.  I applied pieces of napkins around the edges with matte medium, then once I had those where I wanted them applied guesso for texture.  Once that was completed I took water colors and starting closest to the image painted away to cover the guesso.  It is a fun way to do a project for a journal cover or to frame a project.

I hope you all have a great week and find time to join in our challenge!

Challenges:

Craft Rocket - challenge #11 anything goes
Corrosive Challenge - March #3 anything goes

Angels on High

Hi there and a very happy Monday to you all!  This is the last challenge of the year for Aurora Wings and I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.  Thanks so much for playing along with us through out the year.

This challenge is "All that Glitters" for my project I have used the beautiful "Leanne's Angel"


I have used an 8 x 10 canvas and put mod podge on it, laid crinkled tissue paper on it and let it dry overnight.  I put the 5 x 7 image on and mod podge over the complete project again.  I like doing this as it keeps it easier to wipe off dust.  The corner pieces are Tim Holtz and then I added a beautiful velvet braided edging on the sides.

My image is colored with copics and then I added stickles to her wings and flowers for the sparkle.
 


and a view of the edging.

I hope you will find some time to play along with us.  Have a great day!
