Mixed media door hanger!

Hello dear friends!

Today I will share with you the mixed media door hanger that I made for my two daughter's room!

"N" stands for Nefeli and "I" for Ioli (their ancient Greek names).

"Door hanger"

The base is a thick box cardboard that I cut out of a package box. I covered it it all with gesso, then I applied some modeling paste using some stensils, I sprayed several colors (dylusions) together with some water, I glued a few pieces of paper, did a lot of random stamping and in the end some doodling with black and white ball pens!!

Below you can see some close ups!

The letters are out of wood from Artemio.

Thanks so much for visiting!

Altered gift box for 13@rts!!!

Hello my friends!!!

Today I will share with you a transformation I did on a gift box.

It is nice to experiment and transform something dull into something interesting, impressive and beautiful!!!

"Altered gift box"

Step by step:

Let me explain what I did.
1. I started by painting the whole box with white gesso.
2. After that, I used a stencil and applied modeling paste.
3. Then misted 3 different colours and some water. When you spray the water, move the box left and right or up and down to let the colours mix!
4. Next step is to stamp a nice background shape ( I used a text stamp) with a solvent ink.
5. Splash randomly some drops of black mist or paint.
6. Cover the whole box with 13arts silver glitter (I LOOOOOVE this thing)
6. Use a sponge and black ink on all the edges of the box to give definition.
7. Decorate using 13arts chipboard frames, flowers, stems, bling and die cuts!!!!!

I believe that the procedure is quite simple and I hope you will all give it a try!!! Believe me when I say that it is very liberating ;)  !!!!!!!!!!

IKEA mirror and a guest book.

Hello everyone!

Just a quick post to show you what I made for the entrance in my house!!!

The orange background is a small wall in the livingroom, next to the main door! My house is mainly brown,light yellow (maybe close to vanilla) and orange. This is an IKEA mirror which is really easy to alter!!!

And a guest book for a girl's baptism where the colors of the decoration will be brown and cream...little strange ha??? This album was made by "sfragidomania"

The brown chipboard is not so dark

 but this is not a good photo...sorry...

Στολίδι απο ανακύκλωση!

Όσες έχετε μωρά, σίγουρα έχετε χρησιμοποιήσει κάποιο γάλα σε σκόνη! Το ξέρατε λοιπόν, οτι με το αλουμινένιο καπάκι της συσκευασίας, θα μπορούσατε να φτιάξετε πολύ γρήγορα και εύκολα, ενα στολίδι για το δέντρο σας?......

Το περνάτε με ένα embossing folder στο μηχάνημά σας, το μελανώνετε με stazon, και ουσιαστικά είναι έτοιμο! Εγώ κόλησα και 2 χιονονιφάδες που έχουν επάνω stickles stardust και ενα πριτσίνι για να περάσω την κλωστή μου. Δεν είναι τίποτα το ιδιαίτερο, το έκανα έτσι για το καλό που λέμε! Και του χρόνου!!!
