HALLOWEEN .... Dancing in the moonlight by Linda Pearson
Hi Bee Arters .... I am back on the BLOG and catching up with my last post just in time for Halloween if your keen ... remember if Halloween is not your scene you can always try a substitute theme such as:
Bohemian Bliss,
Forever My Always,
Grateful Heart if preferred
1 sheet of White Cardstock 350gsm or A4 journal page prepared with 2 coats of White Gesso
Floral delights clear stamp set
Archival Ink Pad Jet Black
Versamark Stamp pad translucent
Embossing powder – white
Catalyst silicone mini blade tool
Blank Tissue paper
Permanent Black Pen (Sharpie/Calligraphy Pen or equivalent)
Matt Medium
Paints used; DW Ruby, Elephant, Olive and Black
White Paint Pen
Prepare the page with two coats of White Gesso.
Add some small torn collage paper
strips over the page using Matt Medium and Silicone Palette knife
(I used self-made tissue paper … see
image).
Begin adding paint marks on the
page overlapping the collage paper (I opted to create a ‘crossed’ shape for
this layout with a couple of smaller marked areas on the page . I started with
the Elephant colour, followed by the olive colour then lastly adding Ruby (dry
off after each if they blend too much).
Add small blocks of (messy) black
paint to the main painted areas, including along the bottom of the page to
anchor the elements. Dry off.
Add marks to the black painted
area. Add white dots over most of the
black sections, however, I left three larger blocks in order to add ‘white
crosses’ to these areas.
Fussy cut the floral bouquet from
the Knight Knocker (Mini paper collection – Castle Dark collection designed by
Sue Smyth) and also cut the tag from the Gothic Favours sheet (Mini paper collection – Castle Dark collection designed by
Sue Smyth).
Add some leaf stamping using the Floral delights clear stamp set
and Archival Ink Pad Jet Black along the edge of the cross shape where
the floral bouquet will be placed later.
Add more of the leaf stamp using Versamark Stamp pad translucent then sprinkle Embossing powder – white over the stamped image,
heat set the powder.
Add border around the edge of the
page using Ruby and Olive paint. Add ‘Ruby
splatters’ to the page over the painted areas mostly, try to keep as much white
page as possible.
Adhere the floral bouquet cut out
to the bottom edge of the page following the vertical line of pattern. Add mounting tape behind the tag then place
along the cross over of lines on top third of the page. Could add some cotton thread if desired.

Relax and Recharge- Mixed Media Tag by Aditi Mahajan
Hello everyone,
Hope you're all doing well.
Today I'm sharing a mixed media style tag, inspired by the Find Paradise Collection. The weather is iffy, and I'm being called to the beach. So I thought, I'd use that calling and travel while I create art.
Here's a look at the tag.
