The truck

I took one of my boys old toy truck and went wild :)

I can't tell you how much I love finnabairs rust paste! It is easy to get addictive to :)

This truck was first painted with black heavy gesso and then all the silver details was painted with copper metallic paint.The gears where treated the same way and I also painted the gears with the rust paste before I glued the on and lastly the truck got painted with rust as well. I used two yellow bling on the lamps on top. On the tiers I used a little platinum inka gold to highlight the structure.

This project is a DT project for Words&Paintery this month and I also used 13arts challenge this month as inspiration; "steampunk".

And o course I had to have A LOT of detail pics to really show it of :) I loved to make this one!!

I dream of flying!

My dream.

I dream of flying. Both in real life and when I am sleeping.  I have been bungy jumping, skydiving, been on a helicopter and love hiking in the mountings. I simply love high heights and one of my next goals is hang gliding :)

At night when you're sleeping, you can actually fly for real and those dreams are the coolest! The feeling is just amazing!

For this project I was inspired by MixedMediaPlace's creative gym challenge "Dreams":

At first I was going to do an art journal spread but when I sat down at my desk I saw this wooden doll on the shelf and thought "That one would be cool to alter!"
I had these chipboard wings from 2Crafty that just worked perfectly for this project. With a little gears and harlequin chipboards, gold color bloom and rust paste I had my dream project :)

 (You can see witch bottle I use the most :) )

Here is the doll in its original look. (pic from AliExpress)

I wanted to give the doll a reaching/flying pose.

 I have also used some beads in different sizes to get some extra structure.

I used the chipboard word "experience" at the bottom (also from 2crafty)

Perfection

My two boys :)

I love this picture of them all dressed up and holding hands. It is a photo from my sisters wedding (its only at funerals and wedding they look this dressed up :))

This is also a DT layout for 2Crafty and I wanted to make something sort of graphic and dressed up to match the photo. I used Prima Color bloom spray on all the chipboard pieces and matched it with a graphic black, white and gold paper. On the background I used a pencil to draw some lines and then added some controled spletters and bling on the cirkle (I cheated with the splatters and used a pen to get them where I wanted them :D)

I used ScrapAfricas sketch this month for inspiration.

Adventure!

I went to Paris :)
Yes I know I have mention it before in this blog but I just love saying it :D

This is one of my favorite photos from that trip. At nighttime there is a light show on the eiffel tower that is just beautiful!

This is a DT layout for 2Crafty chipboards again and it is also inspired by EnLitenButik's September challenge; red, white and blue. Quite fitting huh?

The eiffel tower chippi is one of my all time favorite chippies. It is so gorgeous! The blue leafs behind the photo, the word adventure and the 2016 are also all from 2crafty.
I used blue splatters and a dot stamp to tie the whole layout together and then decorated it with stickers and washi.

Those Eyes

2crafty chipboards rocks! :)

Here is another DT layout i made for 2crafty. 

I was inspired by Scrapki-wyzwaniowo August challenge; meadow flowers.

 

I didn't have any photos of meadows or meadow flowers so I decided to make layout with a meadow feeling instead. I thought of natural elements like, wood, metal and "water" (the little beads are suppose to symbolize water drops)

And then added flowers and of course some butterflies :)

All of the beautiful chipboards comes from 2crafty and here they are all natural, no paint or anything.
The flowers are Primas of course :) I can't seam to create without a little Prima flowers these days :)

The clear beads are from 13arts and the silver ones are Finnabairs micro beads.

Thanks for stopping by! :D

Capture

It hasn't been happening that much in my blog the last couple of weeks :) That's because all four of us in the family recently got back to work and school after a pretty long summer vacation :)

I have been scrapping and crafting at times but I haven't spent that much time in front of the computer other than for work.

But, here I am again with a lot of finished pieces!

This first one I made for 2Crafty chipboards and also with inspiration from ScrapAfricas August mood board.

It is a photo from a consert and I wanted to capture the glam and glamour of the pic. Lots of purple, glitter and silver metallic. :)

Splash!

Here is my second layout I made for 2Crafty Chipboard. I entered this in EnLitenButiks's July challenge where you where suppose to lift one of two layouts made by ÅsaJ. I choose this one.

I loved the clean and and simple look of it and also the colors. Only I made it a little brighter and with gold instead of beige.

I was happily surprised by how well the chipboard took the color bloom spray- I used for the gold. You can see it on the detail pics and I haven't used any gesso or anything before just chipboard and color bloom spray. The word and the green leafs are colored with white gesso and gelato crayons.

Always follow your dreams!

 

Yesterday was my first day over at 2CraftChipboards! :D I can't tell you how excited I am! Hop on over there to see my first blogpost.

This was the first project I did and it also has got a process video. I made it inspired by Mixed Media Place mood board.

I was inspired by the colors as well as the quote. I wanted to make something about me, something I always wanted to do and have in my life. So this palette represents both mixed media scrapbooking as well as my color and paint hobby.

I loved the colors! From the very pale beige to the very dark pink and then white lettering on top of that.

And here is the video :)
