Wonder by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

I hope you have had a great start to the new year

Here's my first project for the Memory Maze Blog for this year

Also make sure you check out the rest of the blog or our 

Facebook page for all the latest updates and 

Design Team creations

I started with a canvas that I used in reverse I like to have some depth sometimes without having to build things up

I painted the canvas with black gesso

Then used the River Pebbles Stencil with modelling paste on the background 
Once the paste was dry I painted over that with the gesso as well

I painted Small Chicken Wire. Border 2 Flourish. metal embellishments and Art Pebbles with the black gesso 
I left the flowers, the arrow from Charms Creations and the brown Mermaid Beads as they were so there was so more contrast

With the Deer I used modelling paste with the Mini Flower Stencil 
Then I used Dark Chocolate Impasto mixed with a little White Impasto 
Once everything was dry I rubbed some Finnabair Rich Copper Wax over the raised areas

I used Lucky Emereald on the leaves and then Mystic Turquoise and the Lucky Emerald on the flowers and the 

Small Chicken Wire as well as some Vintage Gold which is what I used on all the metal embellishments
And around the edge of the canvas I rubbed a bit of each colour except the Fire Ruby

The Art Pebbles I used a mix of Fire Rube and Vintage Gold

Products I used from Memory Maze -

Christmas Star by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

Merry Christmas I hope you get everything you dream of from Santa and share the love with everyone

Today on the Memory Maze Blog I'm sharing a Christmas project of a special little girl who I did the same sort of photo last year so this year instead of round we have gone for a star 

With the lid of the tin I used Finnabair's Poppy Red Impasto so I didn't need to prime it

I used a sponge with the paint and it gave a nice stippled affect 

I also did the same with the back

Once it was dry I added some Art Alchemy Wax in Old Silver around the edge of the lid and all of the chipboard embellishments

Here is a close up of the Silver Acrylic Deer Head it has sparkle through the acrylic it's so pretty and my little friend in the photo has a deer on her top

I needed something to flow up the side and the Lush Flourish was perfect

I also added a transparent heart, a flat pearl bead onto a metal piece 

Underneath you can see a star from Charms Creations it's so pretty it has glitter in the material

The Wings I added to a paper clay clock that mum did for me 
 along with a few other paper clay pieces that are scattered around the star
I also used some small white flowers and some art pebbles which got covered with the Art Alchemy Wax as well

I love these Bling Tutu Flowers they are so pretty and the red worked perfect for this project
they also come in a few other colours so make sure to check out the site and get your local store to get them in

Here you can see I cut the Double Heart Vintage Frame in half and used it in two places

Here I used the LOVE from the So Rad Authentic Words set of words it just fit so nice
