Solitary Seahorse - Kerry Fellowes

Hello.  Its Kerry here and today I have a Journal page with an underwater theme.

I started with a piece of 'webbed' type of fabric...

 and smeared the  Colour Paste on with a palette knife.  I used Royalty, Deep Water, Bling, Singin the Blues and Envy.

Then I used my overpowered heat tool (AKA paint stripper) to 'fry' my coloured fabric.  I learned this technique from my Mum a few years ago and there is a demonstration video of the technique here Fried Fabric Video

Then I tore the fabric into smaller pieces to put into my background and spritzed with the Bling Shimmer Spray.

 Next I took some webbed lace and cut it into smaller pieces and random shapes.

I used gesso to adhere this webbed lace and painted over the top. Whilst the gesso was still wet, I sprayed a little of the Singin' the Blues Shimmer Spray over the whole page and rolled my brayer over it to blend.  This gave me a very subtle blue background.

 I took a small strip of gauze and the Colour Paste in Sunshine and Fire Engine and massaged it into the gauze with my fingers and a few sprays of water.

Using the same paste colours, I painted the Whichcraft chipboard seahorse. I added a sprinkle of the Leather Embossing Powder over the top of my seahorse.

 I layered up my seahorse on the fried fabric, gauze and netting and added a few 'bubbles' with micro beads and stamping to the background.

Aim For The Moon - Kerry Fellowes

Hello, Its Kerry here.  I have been inspired by all the galaxy projects I have been seeing.  I had this wooden panel in my craft room, I had painted it previously but never liked it so it sat in my UFO (unfinished object) box.  It had this great cracked texture, so I prepared it by giving it a good coat of black gesso.

 

 I started liberally spraying the Colour Shimmer Sprays in Rose Petal, Deep Water and Singin the Blues and dried it thoroughly.

 Once dry, I used a dauber and some white gesso to give some 'cloud' like areas to the panel.

 Next I used one of my favorite craft supplies... baby wipes :)  I sprayed the baby wipe with Shimmer Spray in Bling, Rose Petal, Singin the Blues, Deep Water and Snow White and dried this thoroughly also.

Then I tore the baby wipe into small strips.

 Using the Colour Embossing powder in Bling I embossed some Whichcraft chipboard embellishments.

To put it all together I flicked some 'stars' with white ink on the background and painted a few with a fine brush. I layered my baby wipe with some black gauze.  I attached the embossed stars and frame and printed this quote (one of my favorites, some people say its by NV Peale, other sources say W Clement Stone). A sprinkling of glitter and microbeads and we're finished :)

Wishing in the Rain Journal Page - Kerry Fellowes

Hello.  It's Kerry here again with another journal page.... with yes, more fairies...LOL!

This time I have started with the Colour Blast Embossing Powder in  'Deep Water', 'Dusty Charcoal' and 'Bling'.  I have used some different sized lids for some circles and embossed the circles on some 300gsm watercolour paper.

I then sprayed some shimmer sprays in 'Bling' and 'Deep Water' on the background of the page and sprayed the 'Dusty Charcoal' heavily on one end and allowed the drips to run down the page.

I used some white gesso to bring my circles back to the front of the page.

I stamped some text into the circles and some dots on the background with some Black Archival Ink and highlighted my circles with a Black Stabilo All pencil.

Using my fingers, I coloured in the circles with the pastes in 'Sunshine', 'Singin the Blues' and 'Rose Petal'. 

Then I highlighted the circles with the 'Snow White' paste.

 

I added some Whichcraft mini fairies and wish title.

I finished off with some more stamping and a bit of glitter.

Thanks for stopping by.

Love Your Path Tag by Kerry Fellowes

Hello. Its Kerry here again with a tag this time.  For the tag base I am using 300gsm watercolour paper.  Using black archival ink I have stamped some background text.

 

Using the 'Rose Petal' paste and a little water I made a fluid paint and brushed some onto my tag.

I then added some of the colour to a piece of lace.

I repeated the steps with the 'Royalty' paste.

 I glued my colourd lace and some additional white lace onto my tag.

I then took a resin frame and a 'Paper Blooms' flower and an old watch face.  I sprayed a little of the 'Rose Petal' shimmer spray on my non stick craft mat and used a brush to pick up the colour from the mat and a little paste from the tubs to add some highlights to my embellishments.

  I finished off by inking around the edges with black archival ink and a few black ink splashes.  I added some 'Rose Petal' shimmer spray directly on the lace to intensify to colour and added the butterfly and words which were all highlighted with the paste and shimmer sprays in 'Royalty' and 'Rose Petal'
