San Valentino si avvicina e creare qualcosa per la persona amata è sempre un piacere. Il rosso è il più classico dei colori usati in questa festa e quindi per questa settimana il nostro tema è..... LOVE IS IN THE AIR+RED!
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge.
This week the challenge is
LOVE IS IN THE AIR + USE RED
With Valentine’s Day in a few days we are getting all romantic and creating for someone we love. As red is the color of love we would like tho see a hint of that in your creation too! We will be looking forward to seeing what you create!
Chi mi conosce sa che non sono una gran romanticona ma quest'anno festeggio 25 anni con mio marito e mi è venuto dal cuore dedicargli questa tela. Ma... c'è un ma! Entrambi non amiamo molto essere fotografati,quindi ho pensato di usare un'immagine dei Found relatives che mi piace particolarmente! Intorno alla foto ho " costruito " la mia tela! Qualche collages con i passaggi principali ( grazie Pickmonkey!). Ho fatto un timido tentativo di mixed media, ma ho davvero tantissimo da imparare! Direi ... tutto!
I dedicated my canvas to my husband and me, because 2016 means to us 25 years of love! We met in 1991 .... Neither of the two likes to be photographed and I used for this project a photo from Found relatives, I did some mixed media experiments ( I must to learn much more in this craft zone!!!) , using Dina Wakley White Gesso and Distress Paint, to finish I gave a touch of red and gold (Vintage shiny foil). At last I added a Word band, perfect to describe my feelings!
I have some pictures for you with the main steps!
Purtroppo ho dimenticato di fotografare un passaggio: quello relativo agli angoli! Nello step mancante di immagini, ho aggiunto, stendendo con le dita, uno strato di Crackle Paint ROCK CANDY Distress Clear Ranger. Una volta asciutta la vernice, ho riempito le crepe con Distress paint Ground Espresso come potete vedere qui sopra!
Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures of one step. It concerns corners, on which I added with fingers a layer of Crackle Paint ROCK CANDY Distress Clear Ranger. When paint has dried, I filled the cracks with paint Distress Ground Espresso as you can see above!

Anche in questo progetto ho usato uno dei nuovi materiali presentati al CHA 2016. Ho tagliato il ticket che vedete con il nuovo Idea-ology TEXTILE SURFACES Paperie che contiene 3 tipi di tessuti.

Per creare ancora un pò di romanticismo ho usato lo stencil Hearts di Tim Holtz insieme alla Texture paste Transparent gloss e con la polvere Perfect pearl Biscotti.
I've created these hearts with Tim Holtz's stencil and Texture paste Transparent gloss together,
I covered the hearts with Perfect pearl powder Biscotti.
I hope you enjoyed my mixed media experiment!

RispondiEliminaThis a beautiful valentine for your 25 years together! I love the touches of foil.
RispondiEliminaQuesta tela è uno spettacolo, un autentico masterpiece e meno male che devi impararlo il mixed media!!!
RispondiEliminaAnch'io non amo zucchero e miele e San Valentino non è tanto nelle mie corde, ma qui non c'è un solo dettaglio fuori posto, tutto equilibrato, perfetto!
Beautiful canvas Barbara, I love how you showed the step by step photos, the whole design of this is fabulous :-) As much as I love the vintage photo, I do think you should swap that out for a photo of the two of you as this is a celebration of 25 years ;-)

Wonderful composition Barbara and I love the mix of textures and the fabulous red and gold globe! Beautiful! Hugs, Anne xx
RispondiEliminaE' una meraviglia, romantico ma non stucchevole, bellissima l'idea della foto vintage, ma x l'anniversario ci va una foto vostra, magari in bianco e nero :-)...daiii!
RispondiEliminaSuch a fabulous piece, Barbara! Love all the details, the crackle is amazing! Congrats on your 25th Valentine's day together. Hugs, Sandra
RispondiEliminaThat's really beautiful - love the stony effect and crackles in the background, and the image is so romantic - definitely worth celebrating 25 years of Valentine's Days!

This is a wonderful piece! I really love how you did the background in particular and the pops of red were so refreshing. You always do such a great job of interpreting the theme. Love how you incorporated the world die, too!
RispondiEliminaThis is such a gorgeous creation, Barbara. Love the beautiful texture and great embellishments you created. :)
RispondiEliminaGorgeous textures and a fabulous layout, thanks so much for sharing it and wishing you and your hubby a Happy Anniversary! Deb xo
RispondiEliminaBeautiful! Lovely rich texture on your canvas and the valentine's details are delicious! Happy to have been designing with you! Your art is inspiring and beautiful!
RispondiEliminaBeautiful, textural piece of art! I love the pop of red against the neutral background and everything compliments the background perfectly! <3
RispondiEliminaThis is beautiful Barbara! Love all the wonderful textures you created here.
RispondiEliminaI hate having my picture taken as well. I love that you used some of Tim's "found relatives" as place holders for you and your husband. What a fantastic canvas. I love the texture your created in the background. Just beautiful! Then the bright pops of red and gold. That little bit of red inside the "14" is genius. Wonderful layers. Best wishes to you and your husband ... 25 years of Valentines Days and counting. What a wonderful way to celebrate with this canvas. -- Mary Elizabeth
