Dot Mandela Art Journal Page White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts.

This time I have created an art journal page and made some fun dot mandela's on the page, and on this gorgeous dreamcatcher chipboard piece from the WRC Store.

I started off painting my page with some black gesso, then I got out my Studio Light Stencil from the WRC Store. I used my white chalk pencil to trace the stencil on the background. This enabled me to be able to follow the lines and use my dotting tools to create a pattern. Here is a photo of the stencil so you can see.

Once I was finished the background dotting, I got out this beautiful chipboard piece of a Dreamcatcher and painted it with white gesso. I then embellished it with more of the dots, using different sizes of the dotting tools.

I dotted around the dreamcatcher as well, as once I get going dotting, I can't seem to stop myself!

I added some Tim Holtz Sentiments to finish off my page.

Once again, here is the finished page. I love the striking colours against the black backdrop, and using the Studio Light Stencil made it easy to create fun mandela shapes.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here.

Mixed Media Box Featuring DecoArt Media!

Good morning friends, Kim here today with a fun and easy mixed media project featuring DecoArt!

I started off with a 5 x 5 paper mache box from my local dollar store.

I gave the box a coat of DecoArt Media gesso, and once that was dry added some white crackle paste from my stash to various areas of the box.

Once the crackle was dry, I got out some of my DecoArt Media Sprays, starting off with Turquoise!

I gave the box a gentle spray of the Turquoise and then spritzed it with some water to make the colour run. The DecoArt Media sprays are so highly pigmented that you only need a tiny spray to get maximum effect and colour on your project!

I also used the DecoArt Media spray in Fuschia as well and also spritzed it with water. When the sprays were dry I used a stencil from my stash and some DecoArt Media Texture Sand Paste. I love the sand paste you get so much texture with it and it spreads so easily, it makes such a great effect with stencils.

Now it was time to lay out my embellishments to see where I wanted them.

Once I laid out the embellies, I glued them down, and decided my little box needed a bit more colour. I used the Americana paint in Mulberry as it matched my colour tones perfectly! I watered down the paint a bit to make it spread and get in all the cracks.

A final touch is some watered down DecoArt Media Gesso, and I splattered it all over the box.

I added some vintage lace around the edge of the box for a finishing touch.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and will check out all the DecoArt products!

Follow Your Heart Mixed Media Bird House Featuring DecoArt

Good morning friends, Kim here today with a fun project for Deco Art! I purchased this wooden bird house at my local dollar store and I really loved the scroll work on the front of it. I knew immediately that it would be altered with lots of amazing products from DecoArt!

I started off with the DecoArt Media gesso and gave the house an all over coat with that. Next, I used the Americana Decor Chalky Finish in Lace over the top of the gesso.

Now it was time to get out some my my napkins I had in my stash. The DecoArt Decoupage Matte Medium is perfect for this and really worked a treat for sticking down the napkins. The Matte Medium gives a lovely finish and I don't have to worry about my napkin coming up off the birdhouse either.

Once the napkin was dry, I got out the Americiana Decor Crackle medium. I wanted the roof and the front of the bird house to have an old and weathered look. I applied a good even coat and left it to dry naturally over night.

Now it is time for the magic to happen! Once the crackle was dry, I used my Americana Paint in Blush Pink to go over the crackle.

Remember to only go in one direction and not to paint over the crackle medium several times. One good swipe with the brush will give you great cracks like you see in the photo above. I love how the roof came out!!

Now it was time to do the front of the bird house. For this I used Americana Paint in Antique White.

The same rules apply as they did for the roof. Don't over paint with your brush, go in one direction and let the crackle work its magic.

I also gave the edges of the roof and the front of the bird house a light sanding when they were dry to add to the distressed look.

I added some wooden embellishments and flowers to the birdhouse for a finishing touch.

A little embossed wooden crown tops off the birdhouse!

I hope you will check out DecoArt.com and get yourself some of these amazing products!

Live Your Dream Art Journal Page Featuring DecoArt

Hello friends, Kim here with a fun art journal page featuring some amazing products from DecoArt.

I am starting a new Art Journal series on my Blog and Youtube, and every week you will see me using lots of DecoArt products in my journal, so I hope you will come back each week to see what I have created!

I have done this page in my 8 x 8 Dylusions Art Journal by Dyan Reaveley. I love this art journal, the paper in it is so thick and sturdy, it can hold up to lots of mixed media!

I used DecoArt Media Modeling Paste to create the texture in the background using a stencil.

I have layered on lots of beautiful colours of Americana Paint from DecoArt, you will find a complete list at the bottom of the post and also a start to finish process video so you can see how I made my art journal page.
