Frosted designs: non traditional holiday layout.

Good morning all, 

It's Channa here to host the Friday challenge this week. 

It's the happy holidays month and it's the month full of happiness. 

The challenge is : Make a holiday layout, that can be a Christmas layout, Hannukah or what you may celebrate this month without using the colors Red or Green. So you are not allowed to use these colors. 

I made a layout using blue and white:

I created this layout using paper from the 7 dots, cold country collection. I used a picture of our christmas tree. I love this time of the year!! All the lovely decorations that make our homes so cosy and warm. 

On the close up pictures you can see all the little details on my layout and the embellishments that i used. 

thank you all for stopping by and enjoy your weekend,

Mixed media canvas with 7 dots

Good morning all, 

Channa here, and today i am sharing a mixed media canvas for you. 

I was ready to play around and get messy and see below how it turned out:

I used one sheet of paper of the 7 dots, Cold country collection pack. Together with some embellishments, such as flowers, chipboards & stamps from my own stash i created this canvas. 

Normally i always start a project with an idea in my mind but this one was completely free style. 

Thats the nice part of mixed media, just use whatever you can find on your desk and start playing around. 

I made several layers starting from paint, paper, gesso, modeling paste, sprays etc...

Thank you for passing by and have a great day!

Chevron madness

Good Morning all, 

The temperature is rising up here in Athens, the last two days were amazingly HOT!

Today is the 15th of August and that means a national holiday here in Greece, it's the Assumption of Mary and this is a hudge day. Everything is closed and most Athenians are on there holiday for the next few days before school starts. 

It is also another challenge day at Frosted designs and one of my favorite:

CHEVRONS! use it on your project in any way you want.

So this is my take:

I used paper from 7 dots, Nature walk collection and i used a picture of a Grafitti wall here in Athens. 

It looks like a real baby to me but trust me it is grafitti. 

I used a lot of mixed media supplies, gesso, dylusion ink, modeling paste and just played with it. 

The nice thing about the complete nature walk collection is that it includes several die cuts, tags and stickers that you can use on your project. Excellent collection! 

Thank you all for stopping by and i wish you a great weekend.

Life quote........for Frosted designs

Good evening all, 

Hope you are all having a nice start of the weekend? 

It is friday and that means a new challenge at Frosted designs. 

The challenge for the next two weeks is:

STITCHING and FLOWERS
Just add flowers to your project, and some stitching (machine, hand, or faux) to be entered to win a fabulous prize from our sponsor!  A $30.00 prize package from Scrapmatts!

You really want to join this challenge, scrapmatts has some amazing chipboards. 

this is my take:

As you can see i used the 7 dots, cold country pack. Just love it! 

I started with making the background using some fabric and gesso and let it dry overnight. 

I always have a problem when my paper is not flat, that normally always happens when i use my heatgun to dry paper after using wet mediums. Call me fussy, so always when i have the time i dry it overnight and most of the times it dries perfectly flat. After i sprayed the fabric with different colors of blue and a little black of dylusion ink.  

This collection of beads, buttons and flowers has been on my desk for weeks. I made it for a card but the card was never made......so good opportunity to use it now. So those are the flowers that i used and as for the stitching i used some stamps from prima marketing and randomly just add them to the page. Below is a good close up of the other side of the layout. And can you see the chipboard? that is from Scrapmatts! 

Have a look at the Frosted designs blog for some inspiration, the ladies have made several different projects to get you started. I wish you all a great weekend and thank you for  passing by. 

Let's go Natural!

Good Morning all, 

Channa here, to share with you a card today!

My favorite products from the shop at this moment are the Paper packs of 7 Dots.

Today i made a card with the Nature walk pack. 

This paper collection contains of 6 double sided papers, 1 word sticker sheet, 1 element sticker sheet, 1 die cut tag sheet and 1 die cut element sheet. 

On this card i have used 1 or two things of each sheet. 

This collection has a very rustic, vintage, nature look. With so many extra die cuts and stickers several projects can be made with this kit. This card is the first of mine but many more will follow.

Besided the collection kit i used several items from my stash. For example the gold color springs are from broken washing line pegs always nice to give a little steampunk edge to your project. As you can see the card has a few layers. Under the tag i used some packing material, first i painted it gold and after i used some bronze embossing powder. Same for the dragon fly, i stamped it, painted and embossed it. 

It was a fun card to make, hope you enjoyed it also. 

Thank you for passing by and have a great day,
