"Believe in Nature" with DecoArt Media

Believe in the joys of nature this season as you walk through your yard or venture on a hiking trail...
Look for those pieces of nature....
Stones, feathers, fossils, etc.
"Believe" that nature has so much to offer for us to enjoy.
My canvas today is hoping to capture that joy!!!
 I began by first giving my canvas a coat of gesso. 
Allowing it to dry completely.
 Spray and spatter with Turquoise Shimmer Mist. 
Allow to dry.
 Spray with Primary Yellow Mister. 
Dab lightly with paper towel and allow to dry.
 Apply crackle paste using palette knife with Shedded Stencil. 
Allow crackle paste to set up.
 Stamp with background image and Carbon Black paint. 
Allow to dry completely.
 Paint chipboard with Titan Buff Paint. 
Allow to dry completely.
 Apply Radiant Red on large feather and Believe word. 
Apply Iced Espresso on medium feather. 
Apply Elegant Emerald on small feather. 
 Add Metallic Lustre to create depth on prepared feathers. 
First, apply Iced Espresso and Gold Rush to large feather and Believe word.
Then apply Brilliant Turquoise and Gold Rush to medium feather. 
Finally apply Iced Espresso and Gold Rush to small feather. 
 Adhere "Believe" and gears to the front of the canvas.
 Adhere feathers to front of canvas, layering them slightly on top of each other.
Create twine bow and place on feathers. 
 Adhere more gears and bird skull head to canvas.
 I hope you have enjoyed my "Believe" Canvas and that it inspired you to see nature in a new light. 
Until next time.

EXCITED TO SHARE!!!! "ALL About Me"Layout with Graphic 45 Design Team Announcement

Today is truly a dream come true for me as I am sharing my first designer post on Graphic 45's Blog as a design team member.  There are still days that I pinch myself that I have made it on the Graphic 45 2016-2017 Design Team with so many other fabulous designers. 

I am sharing a layout I created all about me that I have set into a frame.
I tell you the layout was the easy part, lol...
the hard part was finding a current photo.
SO....
If you are the photographer in your family....
Make sure to have someone take pictures of you.
I created my "About Me" Layout using Graphic 45's "Olde Curiosity Shoppe". 
One of the things you will see with my design style is ...
I love fussy cutting and making my own embellishments,
including flowers
and 
layering elements from the beautiful paper Graphic 45 produces. 
 I hope you enjoyed my sneak peek of my "All About Me" Layout.
SO....
Head over to the Graphic 45 blog to see my introduction to the Graphic 45 2016-2017 Design Team
AS WELL
as the rest of my step out tutorial on my "All About Me" Layout.
 I am also sharing three of my favorite projects.

Thank you so much for joining me today!
