Prima Mask and Gelatos LO

The big Mystery announcement that you have been waiting for.....

Mandysea is back!

 

We are very much looking forward to Mandy sharing her ideas with us again and helping

  find that missing mojo some of us seem to be having trouble with lately

Here is what she has to show you today:

It's great to be back!

If you missed me sneaking in the back door....

here it is with a little project about

Embossing Little Metal Hearts and Viva Inka Gold

This time we are going to play with Masks and Gelatos on a LO!

Some fun with mixed media!

 

 

 

To start....

we need to divide up a 12x12 paper

and a very handy way to use this is with

Scor-Pal Measuring & Scoring Board12"X12"

4" x 4" squares in which are folded

using Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad by Ranger:  ‘Frayed Burlap’ (its a lovely taupe-brown)

  run the ink down the creases and edges.

 

 

 

Prima Marketing  - 12 X 12 Leaf Vine  Mask  (oh my gosh! This is only $2.95 reduced from $11.95!) 

Check out the masks HERE 

 

 

 

 

It's a really good idea to use a mixed media non-stick mat

Non-Stick Craft Mat (large)  500 x 800

or

Couture Creations Non Stick Craft Mat(smaller)  330 x 400

My paper is Basic Grey Nook and Pantry 'Waffles'

and

it happens to match colour-wise fabulously with

 Teresa Collins Designs : Modeling Paste  so blends well into the background!

Taking a spatula or knife swipe the paste well over the mask

 

 

 

 

Peel off the mask.

Doesn't it look great especially if you have foliage in the photos you might be adding later.

(Don't forget to wash your mask and palatte knife straight away :) )

Pop this aside a a little while to dry well
about 10 minutes should do the trick depending on where you live

Next to add gelatos...

There's a couple of ways to get do this..

scribble into each  leaf - sometimes though it will leave the original drawn marks when adding water

 

 

 

 

or

using your water brush, brushing the tip into the end of the  Lime gelato and painting it on...

 

 

 

 

 

 You can find all the Gelato colours HERE

Using a paint brush and a dot of water... dip into your Frayed Burlap ink pad and colour in the vines and just one side edge of each leaf....

 

 

 

 

 

...  suddenly it starts to look 'arty'! 

 

 

 

 

Measuring where a photo is going... draw a outline with Black Licorice  gelato

 

 

 

 

and then this happens with your water brush...

some definition and shadowing.

To finish off....

cut with a precision knife some undersides of the leaves and pop a photo up under them...

using the black gelato with the waterbrush, paint around each 4" square too...

All finished....

If you love doing Project Life, this 12x12 multi media page can be cut into 4" sections and put into your pocket pages....  you could do any size bigger or smaller.
