Super Quick Canvas and Tutorial with Jacqueline

Hiya!! I hope you are all having a great week, and that you all had a wonderful first month this year!! Today I want to share with you a little canvas I made as a gift for my Mother, and it was super quick and easy to put together. If you would like to see just how easy this was to make read through as I have put together a little tutorial for you.

'Family'


 Some details:






Here is the tutorial:

Step 1: Layer strips of washi tape on the background. You won't really see this later, it's more of a guide for where you want your elements to go.


Step 2: Cut strips of 13 arts paper and layer vertically and horizontally. 13 Arts paper is fantastic for projects like this as it really holds together and doesn't fall apart no matter how much paint, mediums, water, ect, you put on it.

Step 3: Cut and layer random pieces of lace, and glue down on your canvas with 13 Arts Gel Medium.


Step 4: paint over everything with Ayeeda White Gesso. Don't worry if you can't get it in all the gaps. It doesn't need to be perfect.

Step 5: Select some 13 Arts Paints. I have used Matte Peach, Coral, Apricot, Salmon, and a touch of Mahogany, though you can use as many or as little colors as you want. Brush them randomly over your background..... It doesn't need to be perfect.


Step 6: Spritz over the whole canvas with water. One thing I love about 13 Arts paints is that even when they are completely dry, the instant you spray them with water they liquify, turning to mist right on your canvas.

Step 7: Create a mixture of Glass Microspheres and Gel Medium, then paint the mixture onto your page creating a really bumpy, raised frame. Let it dry.


Step 8: As you can see I have turned my canvas around the other way, for some reason I just liked it better this way. Take 13 Arts White and Silver Glitter paint and roughly paint areas of your Microsphere frame. Repeat Steps 5 and 6 to touch up areas of color on your canvas.

Step 9: Knot some groups of Metallic Silver Thread and glue to the canvas beneath some 13 Arts flowers, and a few paper roses.


Step 10: Randomly brush the petals of all your flowers with 13 Arts Paints in Silver Glitter, Pearl Silver and White and Silver Glitter. You can see in the photo below how I have done mine.


Step 11: Add another small rose to your canvas, then mount the word Family between it and your main flower cluster, lifting it off the background. Paint it with Ayeeda White and Silver Glitter. Add a few Gems from the 13 Arts store around the edges of your 'frame' and you are finished.


I hope you liked my tutorial! Like I said.... Super easy to make. Why don't you pull out your fave 13 Arts supplies and make a canvas of your own!

I hope you all have a fantastic weekend!!!

Hello, 13 Arts fans!

I would like to share with you today a layout I made with LOTS of Ayeeda Gesso & Ayeeda Mists/Inks!  And it's all in cold colours! 




You have no idea how much of fluid the "Frozen Days" (Cosy Evening Collection) endured!
I couldn't believe that it didn't bend or dissolve after so much fluid on it!




What I did is actually simple:
I glued and gessoed all the elements of my page except from the photo, 
and then sprayed with Ayeeda Mists and Inks.  It's a technique that requires a great amount
of fluids, so one must make sure that the cardstock they pick for their background is going to WITHSTAND these waterfalls!  The 13 arts paper passed the test with flying colours!



Ok, because I'm a glitter girl, I could not omit the Silver Hologram Glitter and the Silver Microspheres!
They added lots of sparkle to my layout!

I hope you liked my page!

Today- layout by our GD Anna Sigga

Hello Dear 13arts' Fans! 
Today we would like to show you last project made for 13arts by our talented Guest Designer Anna Sigga. This time Anna made a beautiful layout with her daughter. 


Witajcie Drodzy Fani 13arts!
Dzisiaj chcielibyśmy Wam zaprezentować ostatni projekt wykonany dla 13arts przez naszą utalentowaną Gościnną Projektantkę - Annę Siggę. Tym razem Anna przygotowała piękny layout ze swoją córeczką.


***

This layout came together so easily because of the beautiful 13 Arts papers.

The photos of my younger daughter really set the mood for this whole layout and the Color Basic papers were the perfect match.

I created the soft white background to the photo using a mask and Modeling Paste.


I added several flowers, paint and glitter to embellish the layout and I love how the glitter adds just the right amount of sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by! :D

Thank you so much Anna for being our Guest and all your beautiful projects!
Dziękujemy Ci bardzo Anno, za bycie naszym Gościem i wszystkie piękne projekty!
