Come Fly With Me

Hello PWP fans, Norma here with you today!  If you're in the states, I hope you're enjoying your Memorial Day weekend.

Today I'm sharing this mixed media layout using the leftovers of several Nesting Components kits.

I started out by adding a layer of tissue to the kit's backing board.

For even more texture, I embossed the perimeter with the Vintage Lace stamp and Lindy's Cosmic Blue Violet embossing powder. 

I added layers of muslin, patterned paper and a tag created using the Sunburst and Fringe Lace stamps. 

I'm using a 7Gypsies book cover to frame my focal image which I stamped with "come fly with me" from the Bird Melange stamp set.  To embellish, I clustered flowers, ribbon and a butterfly.

More Nesting components bits over a lollipop heart shaped cover.

I've also added a Prima wooden door, vintage lace and some bling.  Thanks so much for joining me today.  Put those stamps to good use and create interesting backgrounds and custom layers for your projects!!  

Enjoy the rest of you week!!

Hey ya'll - art journal page

Hello, hello PWP fans, Norma here with you today!  What's been up for me lately is the Southern Sayings Stamp set.  I just got this set and I've already used four of the six sentiments.   Today I'm using "hey ya'll" from the set.  I'm also using the Triangle Border and the Happy Day stamp sets.  

I started with a blue and green background and added the backing of used joint tape.  (nothing goes to waste around here)  Next I added tiny flowers with molding paste and a Finnabair Prima stencil.  Then I cut down the backing from the stencil packaging and added a triangle border.  

This cutie is from the Vintage Cuties clip art sheet.  I'm using the back of a picture frame to hold the image in place.

I found this beautiful bling frame in my stash.  It adds the perfect touch to my focal image.

To compete my design, I added flowers from my stash and Pink Paislee Cottage Farms Paper Goods from the May Nestings Components kit.  My sentiment "hey ya'll" is from the Southern Sayings stamp set.

I strayed all of the flowers with Lindy's Spray ink for a little shimmer.

Finally, I added "oh happy day" to the top and a die cut pencil just for fun.

Be sure to join us on Friday for our design team blog hop!

The Nani ke Ola designers will be joining us as we celebrate friendship.  It's gonna fun and filled with tons of inspirations; stop by!!  See you on Friday :D

Have a Wonderful Day!!

Mixed Media Monday - Vintage Hodge Podge Canvas

Hi Paper Wings fans! Dana here today sharing a canvas that I created with the March Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit. This kit contains one of my favorite Clip Art Sheets and a fun mix of embellishments that are perfect for building up textured layers. The Pearlescent Watercolor Paint Set was really fun to work with! My canvas has a fantastic shimmer that really catches the light.

This canvas came together using basic techniques. I was inspired to create this canvas in a style similar to the great Anna Dabrowska.

I started by gluing paper, tag pieces and washi tape from the kit randomly to my canvas. (Don't think too much about placement during this process!) I added a piece of lace from my stash and a couple of pieces of Gold Foil Border (a NEW item from the Store).

I then glued down larger and more textured embellishments like flowers, leaves, a burlap tag, chipboard pieces (past kit), wood buttons (past kit), rhinestones (past kit), metal pieces (personal stash) and a light bulb (personal stash).

To neutralize my palette I covered the canvas with a coat of gesso.

Next, I added my clip art image and more flowers, a metal crown, an enameled tag, chipboard (past kit), sequins (personal stash), and beads (personal stash). I covered the the new embellishments with a layer of gesso, being careful not to cover up the clip art image.

Once the gesso was dry I painted the canvas with the Pearlescent Watercolor Paint Set from the kit.

I added rub-ons from past kits to the enameled tag and the clip art image.

I stamped the wooden buttons with the Crowns Clear Stamp Set and added a gorgeous Hand Dyed Ribbon bow.

I finished the canvas by wrapping the edge with the gorgeous butterfly print canvas ribbon from the kit.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! The March Nesting Component Mixed Media Kit is available from the Paper Wings Productions Store while supplies last.
