Creative inspirations: glitz and glam

 

Hello,

It's been over a month since I shared anything due to many family issues. I've not really had the time to share or make much and I've left most of my DTs, which hasn't helped with my anxiety and I doubt I'll still have time but today I have a make for the new creative inspirations challenge, which this month is glitz and glam.

A few months ago I got into making plaques and found out my julie nutting dolls. For my birthday I got prima marketing papers and embellishments and decided to make this plaque, featuring 50's Audrey.

I paper peiced the dress from the Georgia blue papers, added a vellum sentiment, flowers, due cut leaves, pearls and lace.

I hope you join us and I look forward to finding out what you think of my make. 

Id like to enter the following challenges:

Strong, Positive and Beautiful Canvas

Hello,

It's been a few weeks since i last posted anything so i thought i would share my latest canvas.

This one is Strong, Positive and Beautiful.

The paper's are from DCWV's The Butterfly Garden collection.

This Prima doll is Olive, i have only used the body, head and top, then i painted my own hair using acrylics.

I used the strips technique to create the dress.

The words came from a Tim Holtz book.

The pretty butterfly embellishments came from a craft fair.

Happily Ever after Canvas

Hello,

I have another canvas to share this week, this one having a bit of a fairytale theme.

For this canvas, i used DCWV papers which i used for the collage technique. I also used the sponge painting technique too around the edges.

For this canvas i created my own doll. The arms and head are from the Julie nutting doll with the ruffle dress available here, but i created my own outfit, making a princess gown. I also changed the hair by painting a bun style.

You probably can't see but added to the gown's skirt is a thin peice of tulle which add's to the dress.

I added some words, along with a wooden butterfly embellishment and some flowers.

Hello,

Today i have something new to share. In the past few day's i have been trying out some mixed media canvases using the Prima Julie Nutting dolls.

This one is my first attempt. 

I created it using a flatback canvas panel, and painted the edges in pink.

I used the paper collage technique, these papers are from the Dear Lizzy collection by American crafts.

I used Doll with ruffle dress, and painted the hair.

I drew the flowers onto the canvas.

I'll have more to share soon, including a notebook and another canvas in pink, blue and grey......

True Friend Frame

Hello,

I've got something new to share today. Recently i've been buying some of the Julie Nutting dolls by Prima and over the last week i have been having a play with some of them.

My first project to show is this long, deep edged frame.

I didn't make the frame itself, but the inside was all me.

I created a frame that could be in a girls bedroom.

The sentiment is all about friendship        

I used two dolls on this piece, and created a background scene using some stamps. 

List of things used:

2 Prima Julie Nutting dolls - Olive and Megan

Heidi Swapp Sugar shack papers

An old book - for faces and limbs

Promarkers - for the hair

IndigoBlu stamp - for the grass

Lace

Deep edged frame
