It is a wonderful relaxation and balm for the soul, it's the little things in life that makes you happy and I love to share this joy and want to encourage my friends and all the others to try new ideas.
I'm a modern girl with a vintage heart and my projects are always a little bit magical, romantic and natural. My friends says: 'You are very diverse, but always in love with detail.' That's my motto, imagination knows no limits and there's always a story to tell.
I was inspired to create a mixed media album in denim look, washed out and not as neat, just like a really good pair of jeans. I have used some of my favorite collections for my mini album, the Denim & Friends and Denim & Girls collection. I am absolutely in love with the delicate blue colours and designs of this papers.
Basic materials:
Eileen Hull Journal die
Maja Design Paper collection: Denim and Friends, Denim and Girls
denim leftovers from an old jeans trousers
Want to see how they are made the greyboard cover? Here I have some photos from the making.
1. I started by applying a coat of white crackle paint (DecoArt) on the background
2. I used a acrylic paint mixture of blue shades together with a Chalkboard Glimmer Mist (Boogie Board- Tattered Angels) spray desired areas with water then drop Glimmer Mist onto the wet areas
3. + 4. I applied Dimensional effects, a paintable texture paste from DecoArt using two stencils
5. After drying I highlighted the dimensional effects with a metallic finish wax (Metallic Lustre 'Chanpagne Ice')
6. I thought it would be a cool idea and very suitable to my theme 'Denim and Friends' when I used origin denim fabric and so I created a sailboat with two leftovers from an old jeans, a wooden skewer works as sailing mast
