Something fun....

This month at the CHA show i was so blessed to see all the new products

being introduced and also got to meet a few amazing artists along the way.

By far my favorite besides Suzanne from Quietfire and everyone at Spellbinders

i got to meet Andy Skinner from Deco art and found his new line of paints.

Well all i can say is wow and i had to have all of them!!  It's a fun mixed media

line that has lots of fun colors and mediums to mix but with a little twist.

Oh and one of my favorite stamp companies Stampendous is joining with

him and Spellbinders to create lots of really cool projects to do.

I love to paint and this started off as just a wooden heart and i used a base layer

of gesso and then stenciled on some modeling paste to create that circle layer.

Then i added a layer of Media antiquing cream and then stamped on another

layer of paint with a flowery stamp i had in my stash.  And then i used just a

little bit of Deco Art Metallic lustre in brown and aqua with a damp t shirt to

get the pattern to show up a little more. There is also a product called
interference and it by far is the coolest product.  It was great fun.  And those cool

little flowers are made with a Spellbinders die and i made them in a

soft gold metal and painted them up a little too with aqua mulit surface paint.

Here is a closer look at the heart. The stamp was from a Valentine set by Technique
Tuesday and i used Archival ink for that.  Anyway i have to go and teach my second
class today up at Scrap N Yap but i have more to share this week and i am
sure i will have lots more with this really fun new product line!!

Thanks so much for stopping over today, Happy Saturday to you all!
