Guest Designing at Sugallatoc blog

Third post for today and I have a LO for guest designing at a Hungarian blog.

My page today is very different than the others.

a lot of mixed media....

The new 13Arts transparent foil is perfect for fussy cutting...

I love making textures on my pages... I often use glitter through a stencil to add sprakle and interesting touch on  the backround... I sometimes use 13Arts papers and cut the quotes for my journaling.... I like that way of journaling.

The Scrapiniec chipboards were covered with a big amount of glitter ... This LO is my most glittered page ever....as you can see..

"Believe" mixed media canvas

Hello !!!This is a post from13Arts blog and a mixed media canvas I created... This time with a photo from my first daughter..It;s a photo from our vacations in sunny Greece , at a beach and I love this very much... My canvas today is full of colours , like my first attempts in mixed media , when my pages were colourful... Well, I missed using them and today I wanted something like this. The "Art Journey " collection is perfect for creations fresh and colourful , so you should try it for sure.

Now , it was the time to add some modeling paste...

The final step is to dacorate my page...I have used some 13Arts chipboards , some sisal in pink and white , pink ribbon and white lace and of course my favourite microspheres and plastic microspheres.
               
         For further information and steps of creating my canvas you can visit 13Arts blog.....

That's from me... Hope that my colourful canvas has delighted you and has given some inspiration!!!

Not old but Vintage -LO for 13 Arts

I'm so excited today to show you my new LO with one of the new collections of 13Arts!!!! This one is made by Olga and it's "Vintage Moments" collection so I thought that it 's the time to try some vintage style with these papers. As you can see this time I went out of my comfort zone and created a different project for me. I used a lot of metal embellishments , even a metal object from an old Desigual handbag ,and I also had a lot of fussy cutting.

I wanted to use some dark tones so I prefered to work with these papers and make some texture with medium gel through a stencil and painted the backround with some tones that reminded my past like purple mist.

Here you can see how I used my cut items beside my photo how I matched them with the other elements. As you can see , I also used some mold elements that I have painted with black gesso and have gave to them an extra colour with some liquid medium and some shiny powders..

I have also used some chippies in my backround and of course I gave more texture by using some glitter through my favourite text stencil from 13Arts.

Find something special 2 love...

Hello there!!!I so happy to create for my first time for Scrapki Wyzwaniowo team and March challenge about numbers!

I wanted to have some white space today so I prepared my paper with 13arts clear and white gesso to continue with my colours and water.

With a number stencil and black gesso I had my first numbers on my white paper.  Then I was playing with colours and water to give some interest!  When I finished with my back round I stuck a black round chipboard and my embellishments. I wanted to have a dark page so I used some black prima flowers and black flair.


At the end I stamped some numbers on blue and vintage pink to give depth!

I finished my page with splashes of white gesso and at the title I played with numbers for an extra point!
                                                          This is my project. ..

    


                                                            And some close ups!

Special moment ...

Hello my crafty friends!!!! This is my second post for today and I have a special LO to show you....It's a LO that I made for some challenges.... I had the inspiration to make a special page....A page for my thoughts.... The moto of Mixed Media Place "Paint the sky ,make it yours" gave me the opportunity to speak about my life...My sky , my life,  is based on my parents' words "Just Be Yourself"... They also taught me to be thankful for all the good things of my life. Not to search for money, but for real friends. Not to try to find a big Life, but to be grateful for little things that give me happiness...

                                                     So I made This mixed media page...

                                                         Some details below...

With this LO I will take part at Mixed Media Place challenge

And More Than Words challenge

 I used an old element from my stash (the wooden clock) , my new Prima flowers , a borrowed chipboard frame for my friend Valia (thank you so much my friend!) and some blue..
The word SPECIAL is on the title....

That;s from me for today...
I hope you like it...
Thank you so much for stopping by!

So...This month we have a wintery moodboard for you to be inspired and you surely have to see the DT members ' creations for this challenge.
My take on this moodboard is a mixed media page. I was inspired by the trees and wintery colours so I used some dark blues and greens to make my mixed media. .. The photo is from Pinterest. No...this beautiful lady is not me... lol.

I used 13arts papers and Finnabair metallic paints and pastes.

                                 My page....

                           And some details. .....

                                 Our moodboard

Beautiful smile...

A story behind this photo. A woman that didn't live her life. A woman that was always smiling.  That wanted to make a new family, a new life , but she didn't manage to do it. She was 27 when she got married with the love of her life. This photo was taken at 1977. She was so happy.... But.... she didn't know what to expect from her new "family" .
This woman was my mom's youngest sister . At 1978 was murdered by her mother in law. She was pregnant. .. She wanted to have a family. She wanted to keep her boy in her hands. But she didn't.  She was a teacher.  Her name ...Christina.  Like me.

Now you know the story of this picture. And why I am named Christina. That 's because of this woman.

With my page I m playing with More than words challenge ...

Hope you like my page.
That s from me today.
Kisses

One person-Two faces...

Αυτόν τον μήνα έχω τη χαρά να φιλοξενούμαι από την ταλαντούχα παρέα του  Crafty Life ως guest και χαίρομαι πολύ γι'αυτο! Το θέμα για τον μήνα Απρίλιο είναι μονοχρωματικό με ελεύθερη χρήση του άσπρου ή μαύρου . Κι εγώ διάλεξα φυσικά ένα αγαπημένο για μένα χρώμα...Το Μωβ....

Πρόσφατα είχα μια συζήτηση με μια φίλη και βλέποντας αυτήν τη φωτογραφία στο Pinterest θεώρησα πως έπρεπε να αφιερώσω τη σελίδα μου στη διπλή φύση των ανθρώπων. Ανθρώποι που για κάποιους φαίνονται ιδανικοί ,αλλά για άλλους είναι παραδείγματα προς αποφυγή... Άνθρωποι που με κάποιους έλκονται και με άλλους απωθούνται ..Με μερικούς ταυτίζονται και με άλλους απέχουν μίλια.. Μήπως όλοι μας κάπως έτσι δεν είμαστε; 

Λάτρεψα τη φωτογραφία αυτή ,γιατί ο καθένας μπορεί να την ερμηνεύσει διαφορετικά. Η δική μου ερμηνεία , λοιπόν , η παραπάνω..... Και η σελίδα μου αυτή....

With this page I will play with Fabrica-Decor challenge and this beautiful moodboard....

I was inspired by the buttons (which I used) and sparkle of the picture (I used sparkle too) .

                                   

I will play with Scrap Africa Sketch challenge and this lovely sketch

                           

So that's from me!!! 

Hugs

Christina
