Beautiful Reindeer

Have you checked out the great range of Reindeer that are available from Words or Whatever yet????

There are over 20 designs of Reindeer, including numerous cute cartoon reindeer, reindeer's with sleighs, reindeer ears, sets of reindeer and lots with beautiful antlers like this Silhouette Reindeer (Product Code: C1362) 

 

For this little fella, I have pulled out the distress Inks, in Honey Oak and Sage and the smallest bit of Barn Door, then dry brushed some cream acrylic paints in places to give the mottled effect. After applying two coats of Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel (UTEE), I applied some pearls to add a bit of Bling to his antlers....and of course a red nose.

Here is the complete LO, a picture of two of your boys at their favourite christmas place.... the dining table.....

I have also added the awesome Christmas page border called "World Wide Christmas" (Product Code: C1372),

 This border had the same treatment as above, only with extra of the red, and I also added a white acrylic paint dry brushed in parts. 

 

Why not head on in to your local Scrapbook Store and ask them if they already have these wonderful products or request them to order them in for you.

Don't forget to pop back regularly to get more inspiration.

TTFN and happy WOWing

time flies when you're having fun

For those who don't know me I am a mixed media and experimental techniques artist and I just love getting my hands dirty! I love all things rusty, aged and distressed and you will see a lot of that in my work. I'm really fortunate in that I get to travel all over Australia sharing my art and ideas.

I'm a freelance artist and am thrilled to do some product designing for WOW, which you can see HERE

Some of my designs may seem a little odd but they are created with the daring artist in mind.

It's no secret that I love  to play with chipboard and here I am with some lovely Words Or Whatever pieces...

To create these elements you need:

• black acrylic paint
• old book page
• rust coloured acrylic paint
• gold metallic paint pen
• black ink pad
• ink applicator (latex makeup sponge)
• vintage photo distress ink
• PVA
• silver metallic paint pen
• Cuttlebug/Big Shot embossing machine & embossing folder

"Time Flies"

FRAME SET

INTRICATE CLOCK

SHELL PHOTO CORNERS

• use the same faux rust technique as I have on the clock and frame.
• torn and inked strips of book pages make great arty feathers to create wings.

1. paint frame with gold paint pen
2. emboss frame
3. swipe frame over black ink pad to highlight embossed pattern
4. squeeze a small amount of rust coloured paint on to a palette and use your finger to roughly dab and tap the paint onto the surface
5. cover back of frame with book page
6. use silver pen to colour clock face
7. use gold pen to colour clock frame and hands
8. dab rust coloured paint over frame
9. when dry use ink applicator to blacken edges of the frame and a little over the surface 

SCREW HEAD SET

1. paint black
2. when dry smear a little silver paint over the surface roughly

4. swipe across teal ink pad or paint
