Be sure to join Rita and the team for Mixed Media Monday on September 3rd for the giveaway! Every comment along the hop is an entry to win a set of 4 of these amazing powders!

For my project I have created a fun little tag using one of Rita's die cuts and an adorable wooden mushroom embellishment from Plaid.

The embossing powder I chose is Mermaid Fin.

.

The tag was painted with white gesso and once it was dry a woodgrain background stamp was used to create the background. It was stamped in green ink and then embossed with clear powder and heat set. A few spritzes of blue spray ink were added.

After coating the mushroom in gesso, I applied embossing ink followed by the Mermaid Fin powder and set with my heat tool. Just look at all that beautiful glitter!

The fairy die-cut was adhered using foam adhesive squares by Scrapbook Adhesives.

A big blue ribbon and sentiment stickers were the final touch!

Fun Fabric Painting with Rita Barakat and Plaid!

Hello everyone! Have you tryed Fabric Creations™ fabric paint from Plaid®? They are great!

I found these adorable little canvas bags in my craft stash and tryed them out using some of the amazing Rita Barakat Designs stamps!

These paints come in 24 beautiful colors to choose from. I used the following for this project:

Black

Nude

African Violet

Fruit Punch

Navy

Aqua

Stamps used:

Reflections - Rita Barakat/Technique Junkies

Zen Doodle Cloud - Rita Barakat/Art Foamies

Harlequin Stencil

I stamped the Reflections stamp onto the bag using black archival ink before painting and then used a stencil and sponge technique around her.

For the cloud I applied the fabric paint directly to the stamp and stamped onto the bag.

This was a super fun way to decorate these bags. Now I can put treats in them and add them to packages!

For my project I would like to share with you this fun art journal page!!

 I love just sitting down with my art journal and some products and letting my imagination take over. It is so relaxing! This page started with a background created using Rita's Zen Doodle Cloud Stamp from Art Foamies. 

After stamping I used watercolor pencils by Tonic to finish the background.

I added the sweet face using Rita's "So You Say You Can't Draw" Stencil and then watercolored her as well.

I have created a fun card using the Princess Mermaid and Seagrass stamps!

The mermaid image was stamped onto watercolor cardstock using black archival ink. It was coated with clear embossing powder and heat set. This is a technique I use for water coloring stamped images. Caran D'ache watercolor pencils were then used to color the image. The seagrass stamped images were stamped in green and clear embossed before adhering them using foam dots. The large bubble was cut using a 2" circle punch, distressed and adhered using foam dots. Finally the mermaid image was added!

Isn't she just adorable? I love the whimsy of this fun stamp!

Mermaid Album Cover for Blank Page Muse Stamps

Hello, and thank you for visiting my page today! Blank Page Muse Stamps has a new challenge every month and this months theme is "Let's go to beach". Since I am heading to the beach for a few days with a friend this month I wanted to create an album to put pictures from my trip in. What is better than a mermaid for a beach themed project?

I wanted her to appear as though she is under water so I also used bubbles on my background.

To enter our monthly challenge for a chance to win some awesome prizes please click on the picture and follow the link below!

I used the following stamps from Blank Page Muse:

7. Stamp the larger tropical plant stamp in a green color to use as a guide.

8. Use watercolor pencils to highlight the mermaid and plant. (the plant will appear to be watercolored by going over the stamp with watercolor pencil.)
