Lift Summer Crafts challenge #3

  Hello my friends! Hope you are all very well , very creative and having a nice summer so far! I decided to create an ATC for the first time, trying to follow the sketch I found at Lift Summer Crafts. I had sooo much fun getting my fingers dirty with my acrylics, mediums and modeling paste that I'm already thinking my next ATC project! Well....the girls warned us that it's an addiction...and it's so true! Hope over at Lift Summer Crafts for the details of the challenge and take a look at the amazing gift for the lucky winner!

Chipboard wings, authentic metal clock gears, lots and lots of gesso and acrylics.

  So this is my card, embelished with some old clock gears that I collected by visiting ( ...along with my dear friend Athanasia ) almost every single shop that repairs clocks in Halkis . It was amazing how many gears we found, since they are useless for the new clocks but SO USEFULL for two scrapbook-addict girls!!

Thank you for stopping by and have a nice evening everyone!

Challenge me Happy #46 - Water

  Hello everybody! This is my entry for the Challenge #46  at Challenge me Happy, where the theme is WATER! Since the summer is almost here and the weather is getting warmer, I chose my layout to be ispired by the sea and the joy of playing with the waves! The girl in the photo is my favorite young cousin Marina, ( ..my personal scrapbooking model : p) whose name means "  from the sea", and I think that the camera really caught her at the right moment!!

Water layout

Lace , decorative branches, gears and pearls with looooots of gel medium an gesso

I painted the composition with my tattered angel mists using a brush and added some sand here end there. The sand was gathered from a nearby beach and painted blue with my acrylics.

I used aquarelle paper and water colours for the background and gave a try on the "salt technique" which I found HERE.

 I tried some mixed media techniques for the first time on this one ... I 'll try to improve myself though, I promise!

Thank you very very much for visiting!
