Far Far Away Altered Clipboard

Hello there Snip Art Fans!!! Farrel here to share another mixed media project with you all. 

Now that we are into December, usually we would be planning trips to spend with family and friends for Christmas but unfortunately with the situation that a lot of us are in, that's just not possible.... and that's where I got my inspiration from for this project. I miss not being able to travel and thought the next best thing would be to create a project about travel instead.

I bought the clipboard from a dollar store and used a wood grain tool for the background. I stenciled the background using modeling paste and Snip Art's Text stencil. I then applied Gold Crackle Paste and let dry.

I painted all my chipboard pieces with 3 acrylic paint colours - Cream, Red and Blue. I then adhered them to my clipboard. I also painted the metal clip with cream paint.

Once the glue had dried, I than covered the whole project with Vintage Paste and using a baby wipe, I very gently wiped away the paste until I was happy with the result. To finish off the project I added a metal embellishment to the clip.

I Want to Stay Here Mixed Media Layout

 Hi there Snip Art lovers, Farrel here and today I am sharing a summer themed mixed media layout. Here in Australia it's almost summer and as a family we love going to the beach and to go fishing. Here is my layout using a few of the amazing Snip Art collections.

I used the Anchor stencil with some modeling paste on the background along with some stamps. Then used Distress Oxides to build the background. I also coloured my background chipboard, Ships wheels and crab using the distress oxides along with both metallique and matte waxes.

The compass chipboard I painted with black gesso and then used metallique wax to highlight. For the title piece I used acrylic paint and then inked around the edges.

Winter wonder land

 Hi SnipArt fans,

I made this Winter wonder land for you ,

and gonna tell you how I did that

I am just in love with all those tiny houses, from Little Town.

I started with an old photoframe and made my layout

               

Using cheesecloth to make a mountain landscape behind the house

I worked with powertex to harden the fabric.

Then I positioned it like I wanted.

Putting structure paste on the sides and some resin pourings from moulds.

                

Then I glued the Frosty Moments Icicles on the top of my "landscape" 

and some really tiny ones on the front of the house..

Coloured my house with Liquid acrylics by Finnabair and 

used the snow- and icepaste from stamperia to make a winter landscape.

                 

I put ice- and snowpaste on the fabric in the back and on the icicles .

Some tiny cypresses beside the house and on the side of the frame.

Then I draw thin lines with my gluegun and throw glitter on there when it was still hot

and some snowflakes over the ice-and snowpaste

 

 The last thing I did was putting Mitform Castings stars on the top

I hope you like my project and get inspired by it

warm greetings

Hi there everyone, Farrel here to share with you all my latest art journal page. Please feel free to click on the process video below to see my process.

I used Distress Oxide Sprays for my background and a Map stamp by Darkroom Door

The papers I have used are by Stamperia - Around the World.

I embossed on Snip Art's packaging using Sizzix Foundary 3D Texture Embossing folder and used Distress Oxides and inks to cover.

I covered my Up In The Air Frame with Sepia Archival Ink as well as the Balloon. I kept the Rose of Winds compass raw and adhered to the balloon. For the Globe chipboard, I sprayed with Distress Oxides.
