A Mixed Media Canvas

Hi there!

Tania here with you today to share a canvas and a photo tutorial.

Lots of yummy WOW Products Used :

Chicken Wire Piece - WOW1636

Fabulously You Title - WOW2464

Mini Background Panel 2 - WOW2182

Butterfly Elements - WOW1858

Messy Circle Frames - WOW2144

To begin with I firstly applied 2-3 different coloured acrylic paints with an old credit card.

Once this was dry (I sped up each step by drying off each layer with a heat tool)

I grabbed one of my stencils and randomly applied texture paste over the canvas.

I repeated the above process with the second stencil.

Next up I added all my chipboard pieces and adhered them to the canvas.

Then it was time to give it a nice thick coat of gesso, I applied the gesso with a sponge so it would give it more texture.

This next bit was where all the fun happened, I used an assortment of different 

sprays and sprayed them randomly over the canvas until I got the effect I was looking for. 

I then grabbed a Gold paint dabber and painted the title, the butterfly and the frame around my photo, and then dabbed the paint over different parts of the canvas.

To finish off the canvas I embellished it with lots of yummy blooms and an assortment of pearls.

Some close ups of my finished canvas!  

Well thats all from me today.

Thanks so much for stopping by and happy crafting

Chipboard Inspiration with Kerryn

Good Morning to all our WOW followers. Kerryn here on the blog today to share a few pages with you.

A simple page to start the day with a photo that I took last October while on holidays.

This is what vacation looks like

I love my second page but I'm sure I promised no more snow photos in a previous post......I lied! Still had a few snowflakes left, so I have put them to use. Our son and BIL getting a bit crazy on a small patch of snow.

Chipboard pieces Mini Snowflake Pack WOW1681covered with white Brilliance Ink and then a thick coat of diamond Stickles, the large snowflake is from the Snowflake Set WOW900 covered with Waterfall Stickles. The Light Wood Veneer title Like This WV117 has been kept neutral.

Altered Ornate Shadow Box

Hello there!

Tania back with you today to share this quick and easy photo tutorial on how I altered one of the WOW Chipboard Ornate Shadow Boxes - M15.

Once I had assembled my shadow box I mixed a little bit of one of my Dylusions sprays (aqua based) with some Gesso.  With a large sponge I applied it to my shadow box quite thick, when it was almost dry I gave it another coat. As you can see it gave it some great texture.

I then used some Ken Oliver Color Bursts to give my shadow box some colour.  I just love this product, lots of fun and looks awesome.  I chose purple for this project.  I sprinkled the Color Burst randomly over the shadow box and then spritzed it with water until I was happy with the colour......How easy is that??

I finished off my shadow box with some New release chipboard - Dangles and one of the "Love This" quote from the Fun-Multi Word Pack WOW2457 which I sprayed with Dylusions sprays and lastly added lots of yummy blooms.

Here's a couple of close ups.

I also wanted to share a couple of other projects I made recently using some yummy WOW products.

I created this first layout for White With One's new challenge. Butterfly Elements WOW1858, Hanging Heart Flourish WOW2287,  Fun-Multi Word Pack WOW2457  and the 6 x 6 Moroccan Stencil ALTA138.

My second project was created for Off the Rails latest Mood Board Challenge.

I have used a New Release "Summer At The Beach" WOW2466 Chipboard Title on this one. 

Well that's all from me today.  I do hope you have enjoyed the projects I have shared with you today.

Be sure to check out the Website for products and stockists and our new WOW Creations Facebook page. Can't wait to see your creations on there using all the gorgeous WOW products.

Until next time,

Almost a Teenager

Hello folks, hoping you are all well.

Peg here to share some WoW goodness today.

I have done a boy page using some new release chippies for November as well as some tried and true favourites.

I started by misting my white card using the 12x12 Moroccan chipboard as a stencil, rotating it clockwise for the second colour. This is also available as a stencil and both in 6x6 too.

I then stuck some cogs, from the 12x12 nesting set, in the corners and added some leftover cut-outs from the Moroccan chippy (these are a bit of a special treat as they are not yet stocked in the shop). I rubbed all the chippy with some Inka Gold- Graphite to give it a metallic look.

It didn't look quite right though, so I used a paint dauber to add some blue.

Next I layered some tissue paper, some New Release chipboard treated with Inka Gold-Graphite, my photo, and a title from my own design range painted to match the cogs. Journalling with Dymo - my fave.

And I thought it was finished so it went on my desk-top easel until I had time to get it into an album.

However..... the more I looked at it the more unfinished it appeared.

So I added some subtle diagonal stripes by sponging

black ink through the 4-in-1 Design 2 Altamatz, as well as adding a swirl border, from the New Release summer pack,

above my title.

Ahhhhh, now it's done!

 So, have you checked out our inaugural monthly challenge, it's a beauty. You still have a few days to play along, anything goes as long as you use Wow products and post your creation on our FB page.

This is the page I created for it.

Thanks for coming by, have fun with the challenge, see you next time

A Perfect Page....

I had the most amazing time hanging out with these gals at a Hunter Valley retreat in August. We laughed and cried and shared so many stories and poignant moments that it was hard to do it justice on a scrapbook layout. I spent longer than I normally would on this page and, to me, it shows.

I used a technique on the background learnt from the gorgeous Naomi Cox, with some added stencil work using my new release Boot Stencil and another current fave, Lighthouse Flourish.

The page is also embellished with these chippies - cogs, barbed wire, love this, mini people, a zig-zag arrow, some Prima doodads, a cut file, and Dymo for the captions. I used American Crafts foam words for the title and typed out a long and heartfelt story which is hidden in the envelope.

I poured my heart and soul into this page and I love it so much because it really does completely and perfectly represent my experience at this retreat.

This, to me, is why I scrapbook.

I hope you find some inspiration in this post and have some awesome fun playing with your WoW products. Please come and share your work with us in our new Facebook Group, we love to see what you're creating with WoW!

Thanks for coming by
