RIIKKA KOVASIN AND TERHI KOSKINEN CHALLENGE

Riikka's Blog

Terhi's blog

Riikka Kovasin and Terhi Koskinen are having a challenge on their blogs.  I have linked their blogs under the graphics for the challenge and you can jump over and check out the details if you are interested.  Both Riikka and Terhi are amazing artists and I enjoy their art and presence in the world of scrapping, mixed media, altered art, etc. etc.  Seriously, just check out their blogs and take time to go back and review their work!

My page started out with black gesso used with the TCW Art Is stencil in the background - following along with the sketch - but then I wanted to use the bright colors as shown in Terhi's graphic - so I used colored papers for the photo mat and several different colors of paint splats (orange, green, blue, black, white) added to the paper.  I then added black Gelato blended out to a grayish color around the photo mat.  I added Finnabair glass beads in 5 different colors scattered around the page also.  For the title, I used some chipboard and titled it Be Awesome and added a little glitter to the title.  I also added black and blue metallic thread and some Finnabair mechanicals.

Thanks for taking a peek!

Christmas ATCs

Can't seem to get into the spirit of Christmas yet - but did create 5 Christmas ATCs.  I used 7 Dots Studio Yuletide paper.  I selected the papers and ripped some to use as layers.  My first step, however, was to gesso the background and then I used a stencil on each of the cards for texture and another layer.  After that I stamped with a small text stamp on different parts of the pages.  Next I splattered the background with red ink and added the paper ripped Yuletide paper layers and inked the edges with black ink.  I different pieces of chippies and sprayed them with red ink and glued them down.  Finally, I added some TH Christmas ephemera pieces, twine, flowers, metal adornments and some glossy little 1/2 beads.  Last, but certainly not least - I added Finnabair Red Ruby glass beads and Finnabair silver glitter.

Paper:  7 Dots Studio Yuletide paper

Mediums:  Finnabair Clear Gesso 

Stamp:  Finnabair Vintage Vantage stamp

Ephemera:  TH Christmas ephemera

Flowers:  Prima Victorian Christmas

Finnabair Ruby Red Glass Beads and Finnabair Silver Glitter

Metal Adornments:  The Flying Unicorn

Misc.:  Twine, Beacons Fabri Tac Adhesive

As I used 7 Dots Yuletide paper, I am entering my ATCs in their current "vintage" challenge.

MY DECEMBER PROJECTS USING THE C'EST MAGNIFIQUE KITS AND ADD-ONS

Hello Everyone!! Today, I am sharing my layouts and projects I created using the most gorgeous C'est Magnifique December kits and add-ons.



My first project was using the vinyl record albums in the December Mixed Media Kit, as well as the Embellishment Add-On and Flower Add-on.  It was fun to alter the vinyl record album - gosh, I remember having tons of albums and 45s in my room as a teenager, and a record player that was hardly ever turned off - unless the radio was on!

Items from my stash included Beacon's Fabri Tac and Beige Twine

My second project was a scrapbook layout using the C'est Magnifique December Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit and Flower Add-On, as well as the Embellishment Add-On!  The paint splatters came from the wonderful red, green and gold paints included in the Mixed Media kit - love splatters!

From my personal stash, I used Fabri-Tac and hot glue gun.

My third December project is another scrapbook layout - again I used the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Embellishment Add-On and Flower Add-On.  I did a little fussy cutting of tags from the gorgeous paper by Astrid Mclean.

From my personal stash I used Beacon's Fabri Tac.

My fourth page I did a bit of stenciling and mixed the red paint from the Mixed Media Kit with some Finnabair Light Paste.  I used items from the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-on.  I again did some fussy cutting of tags from the paper - and I added the beautiful Petaloo red feathers from the Main Kit - I love Petaloo's feathers!

 

My personal stash items include Prima Victorian Christmas Stencil 1, Finnabair Light Paste and Beacon's Fabri Tac and glue gun.

On my fifth scrapbook layout, I used the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-On.  I  used Spellbinder's Circle Dies to create my background (along with splatters).  I think everyone loves to do their splatters - it releases their inner child!!!  

Items from personal stash include Beacon's Fabri Tac and hot glue gun.

This is my last layout from the December kits - but there is 1 more project after this.  I fussy cut tags from the gorgeous papers designed by Astrid Mclean.  I used the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-On.  Did I mention how gorgeous all of the flowers are this month?!

Items from personal stash include Beacon's Fabri-Tac and hot glue gun.

I did a quick Christmas card  using the beautiful paper in the Main Kit, Mixed Media Kit, Flower Add-On and Embellishment Add-On.  I fussy cut the little angel - and couldn't resist adding the beautiful feathers for her wings.

Personal stash items include Beacon's Fabri Tac and hot glue gun.

I hope you can find a little inspiration from my projects and be sure to check out the C'est Magnifique gorgeous kits and add-ons - you will want them all!
