A Twist On Canvas Art With Brandy

Hello Art Anthology fans! Brandy here to share a super cute project with you!
Inspired by two adorable little flower fairies, I set off on a journey into a color combo I haven’t used very much in the past. I love how it turned out though!
Just a couple 6×6 canvases hooked together with two small hinges, and I was off!

For that fabulous texture, I used both my Twilight and Diamond Grunge stencils.

Wanting to keep things dainty, I chose some tiny white diecuts as accents to fill in the inside of the canvas.

Playing with Minx shimmering inks – no 5

Leave a reply

Ellie Knol again here today.

I decided to make backgrounds with Minx Shimmering Inks, on all types of paper.

It is really easy, and relaxing to do while enjoying the sun…

As promised, this time I’ll show the ones that had some white heat embossing, gesso and acrylic paint on it before coloring with Minx. Also some on canvas paper.
See the blogpost called
Playing with Minx shimmering inks – no 4 for more info !

For more information please see the Snapguide tutorial I created ..

By The Sea – Lighthouse Frame

Leave a reply

Hello creative friends, glad to be sharing another DT post. For today’s project I made a mixed media, somewhat altered lighthouse frame. I decided not to add a photo yet (needing one that’s just right), instead I removed the glass piece and replaced it with pattern paper and a wooden sentiment, I saved the glass piece for when I add the photo later.

I love playing with lots of texture, color and embellishments. I used a combination of Art Anthology Colorations color sprays – Sandcastle, Warm, Waimea Bay and Peacock Feathers, Velvet Mediums – Kona, Fiji and Limeaid, Sorbet medium – Kenyan Copper, Gemstone medium – Amber and Stone Effects – Bone. Everything came together so nicely, it’s a great way to relax and have some fun.

Hope you feel inspired to create your own… you will find a step by step tutorial with a complete list of supplies posted below.

Enjoy…

Rusty vintage frame by Marleen.

Hi, Marleen here with a new project.
I altered a frame. In the Netherlands we have Kings-day and the whole country is celebrating.
Everybody can sell anything you want. So the country is one big flea market the end of April. So I bought myself a 50ct frame!

My goal was to get a really old rusty effect with all the Art Anthology mediums and inks and I love the final result!

Of course I made a Snapguide tutorial for you!

Life in color art page tutorial

Leave a reply

Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my second June tutorial post here on Art Anthology blog.

This is Irit here from Irit Shalom’s Designs and I made a cute, summer art page for you to see and maybe to copy.

This is a new art page I made with my new (lost and found on the way) Art Anthology art supplies.

I used three new stencils, tons of new Velvet paints, a few new Colorations sprays and some pretty old chipboards to make this rainbow colored art page.

Life should be full of colors!

And you just need to arrange those colors to make your own rainbow, as I did here!

And as always I made a Snapguide tutorial for you to see and to use HERE:

Art journal with face stencil

Leave a reply

Hello crafters !

Did you see the moodboard this month ? It’s full of interesting textures and colors !

The creamy gold and copper, the splash of blue and waves inspired me to create an art journal spread with a face stencil. It has a mermaid vibe, with a background looking like rusty metal decorations under the sea and mermaid eye deep as the sea.

I use several stencil by Art Anthology in these pages : Let’s face it for the girl, Dot matrix, Lotus and Inspired grunge for the background, plus Expressions stencil for the journaling.

Lot of mediums and inks here ! Sandcastle Colorations spray for the base, then Peacock Feathers and Siesta Key before playing with the stencils and the mediums in Amber, Mayan gold, Lagoon and Kenyan copper.

I also add somme drop of Radiance Minx and Gold Dust Minx for the rusty look.

Want to learn more about how I created these art journal pages ? Watch my complete video tutorial on AA YouTube channel :

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope the moodbard and the DT projects will help you create something ! If you are looking for more inspiration, try the AA Instagram account or AA Pinterest boards

See you soon for another project !

A couple Fairy Tags with Brandy

Leave a reply

Hi fans! I’m here to show you some tags I made featuring two handmade paperclay fairies.

I used some dimensional paints and the Retro Stencil for the background of my tags.

Then I used some colorations sprays with a tiny paintbrush to color the fairies! A super coat of Guilded Gold Fairy Dust Spray over them finished them perfectly.

I’ve made a tutorial on Snapguide. Take a look! 🙂
