Garden Fairies and Vintage Sparkle Glitter!


   Spring...oh please stay awhile! Today I would like to share a Garden Fairies Bird House. It got me in the mood to be out in my own garden, if the weather would just be nice!
Timi, one of the Co-Owners at For Keeps Sakes had asked me to make a sample for the store. I was asked to show off some GLITTER!  It is a new product we sell called Vintage Sparkle Glitter, and the first thing that came to my mind was the Garden Fairies from Gina's Designs!
I mean what a better combination? Fairies and Glitter!
I was also able to easily use these beautiful butterflies from Craftsupplies1
Gina's Designs really made the project! Her Garden Fairies are a must to have for any garden mystical project you may under take.

Here on top of my magical fairy bird house, I added Dragon Flies  from Gina's Designs, and I love the Vintage Sparkle all over the Dragon Fly.
Here's the back of the Fairy Bird House. I just love how the Garden Fairies Wings from Gina's Designs, just sparkle with glitter! You can also see the Flourish used to decorate the back of the house.
Thank you for stopping by. I loved working on this project, because it made me ready to go out and tackle my own garden for spring planting!

Art Journal: The Lost Art Of Love Letters

Hello Again!
Today I'm sharing a Mixed Media Art Journal page that I recently worked on. I'm excited to show how Gina's Chipboard Shapes truly made the page jump out!
I am just getting back into painting. I have always been hard on myself at how the over all look comes out when completed, but I am finding a new enriched enjoyment to this type of art, and now I can hardly put down the brush...,brayer, sponge... stencil....whatever I can get my hands on to create a unique look, that's shouts ME!
I used this Lock and Key from Gina's Valentine Shape Set.   Just applied some Gesso to the over all surface and inked with Vintage Photo Distressed Ink.
Here's a Flourish from her Feathery Flourish Shape Set, and the hearts are again used from the
Valentine Shape Set
Again, I just Gesso everything, then applied the desired inks and paints to get my desired look
Thank you for visiting. I hope you enjoyed viewing this project as much as it was a joy to create it.
