Fairy on Key Holder

Hi Melissa here with a project using Gina's Designs Laser Chipboard. This key shape got my imagination going.  I painted with gesso, followed by lumieres. To give some texture I lightly embossed in white, then put more paint on. Thanks for looking!

Woman With Flowers and Frame

Hi Melissa here with a 12x12 page using Gina's Lasercuts Designs Chipboard. I love this frame, it's very graceful with its swirls and flourishes.   I painted it with gesso, followed by layers of acrylic paint, watercolors, and lumieres. The purple background is on watercolor paper, using a mix of ink and watercolors.  I pooled the same mix on the textured areas Ide applied with a stencil. The frame

 is raised above the page with tulle under it. The items on the frame are about an inch above the surface with thin wire. Thanks for looking!

Vintage Photo with frame

Hi there, Melissa here with a 12 x 12 page using Gina's Designs Lasercut chipboard shapes. The frame and background were painted with gesso, metallic acrylic paints, and topped with crackle accents.  I also added stitching to the page, giving it an old fashioned look.   It reminds me of how my Mom and I used to sew and do cross stitch.  The frame's design is beautiful, composed  of  flowing lines, leaves, and curves.  I thought it complemented the vintage photo really well.

 I added flowers, bling and metals that looked as if they might have come from that period of time. Pearls with their soft luster give an added dimension of  color and texture. I think the colors of the paper and the metallic paint, give the page a ghostly look. I also added some Tim Holtz rub-ons and tissue tape to fit the theme.  Thanks for looking!

Hi Melissa here with a page using Gina's Designs Lasercuts. I enjoyed working with these colors as usual, and the chipboard seemed to blend nicely with the theme. I used gesso followed by liquid pearls on some, and lumieres on others. To the right of the photo is a fussy cut shape that I painted, and put lots of microbeads on. I wasn't really thinking during the cutting because I was watching tv,and didn't realize it didn't look that good.  Since I spent so much time cutting, I didn't want to waste it by ditching it.  I spent the rest of the time spent on this fixing and working around that one item. I'm happy with the results as my main thing was getting that lavender lace in . I dyed it awhile ago with dylusions ink and have wanted to use it.

Hi, Melissa here with an altered Book Box from Gina's Designs Lasercuts.  I also used items from Craftsupplies 1.

The leaf chipboard are painted with gesso, then watercolors, and topped with Mod Podge Dimensional Magic.  The book box was very easy to assemble, and sturdy; it was a pleasure to work with.

The flowers from CS1 took  watercolor tints beautifully. When they were still damp I changed the shape  a little from the original . I love flowers and these were wonderful.
