Merry Christmas for Snip Art

Merry Christmas for Snip Art

It’s less then a week left for Christmas now. I’ll try to have this week pretty calm, but I know what it ends up like anyway! Kaos and stress but lots of fun. LOL
This is my last post for Snip Art this year, and to sum it up it has been a lovely crafting year!

*************************

Nu är det ju faktiskt mindre än en vecka kvar till julafton! Helt galet vad fort det har gått. Jag försöker hålla denna vecka ganska lugn, men jag vet ju hur det brukar sluta ändå, lite lätt kaos och stress sådär som det brukar vara inför julen. Men det är samtidigt lite mysigt och hör till. Det är mest saker som hör med maten till som fixas sista veckan, allt annat är troligen fixat och i rätt liten skala så man mäktar med.

Embellishments: Chipboards (SnipArt), Leaf, Flowers, Polishing Tangle

Mixed Media Bottle

I found a cool glass bottle at a flea market and decided to change the look a bit.

WARNING – Lots and lots of pictures!


*************************

Jag hittade en lite fräck glasflaska på loppis som jag bestämde mig för att göra om lite…
Ganska många lager färg och struktur senare så blev den så här! Gissar att den får agera vas till nån lika häftig blomma kanske.

VARNING – Massor av bilder!

Layout for “Brilliant Decoration”

Layout for “Brilliant Decoration”

The fourth step is called “Brilliant Decoration” at Mixed Media & Art.
The last challenge in this wonderful competition. I had a blast challenge myself doing the different steps, and my goal
was to create something different each time.

In the end of this post you’ll find all my creations for the four challenges.

For this step the challenge was to use:

Bijouterie – no scrap material
Shine – in any form

For the Bijouterie I found a necklace with big links – like a chain. I cut it so I had a piece good enough for my art. And the shine… yeah, I think it’s in lots of places… bling, wax, metal, acrylics… they all shine!








Stamps:  Stampendous
Sentence: Tim Holtz Stickers
Papers: Prima
Embellishments: Cheesecloth, Flowers (Prima), Necklace, Bling, Chipboard (SnipArt), Die cuts (Prima)
Tools: Stencil (SnipArt), net for walls
Medium: White crackle paint, Wax (Prima),
Colors: Mists (Tattered Angels, Ranger), Acrylics (Finnabair/Prima)

And this is my four projects for this challenge in total:

Canvas for the “Breath of Nature”

Canvas for the “Breath of Nature”

The third challenge at Mixed Media & Art is called Breath of Nature.
This time you need to have these things on your piece of art:

Natural materials – no scrap material
Letters – in any form

The first one is a bit more tricky then you can thought from start. Especially if the nature is rainy and wet… I had some ideas but had to change my mind when getting out there… and it ended up with grabbing some small sticks. I had to dry them though in our boilder room so I could use them!

So, my project this time became a canvas!
