Unicorn Love by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

I have a couple of friends that love unicorns but one in particular who saw this picture and loved it so I HAD to make her something with it 
So for my Memory Maze project this week this was created for her

Don't forget to check out the rest of the blog for any of the latest products or news or just have a look around at some of the awesome Design Team work for inspiration 

Because the photo is so colourful I wanted the background to be neutral and simple but still have texture

So I started off by using texture paste through the Mini Divided Heart Stencil once each layer dried I went over it again for extra height

I then used clear gesso over the top of them and made sure I carefully pushed into the divided lines of the heart 

I stamped archival in with the Vintage Baroque Stamp randomly over the canvas but because there are so many raised areas it didn't show up very well

On the word Unicorn I used Colour Embossing Powder in Snow White which showed up silvery because I painted the all the embellishments in black gesso

Here I spray Colour Shimmer Spray in Dusty Charcoal to enhance the grooves in the hearts 

I used the Unicorn from the Set that has a few different sizes, the word and some stars in it 

With the medium Unicorn I used Colour Embossing Powder in Bling

I also used it on the arrow

I used the Unicorn Acrylic White and the Double Heart Vintage Frame which I also used the bling Colour Embossing Powder raising two of the corners up using the Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots it's great for having height without having to use white dots that you can see

Here I filled the glass bottle with little beads I have a heap of and used a flair button from Flutterby Designs

I believe in ART by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This week is my turn on the Blog and I created a mini canvas with a quote I thought most craft/art people would understand and appreciate 
Make sure to check out the rest of Blog and take a look at everything else that's going on over there

I painted all the chipboard with white gesso first to prime it all for what I was going to do next

On the frame I used the Frank Garcia Artisan Powders to make the chipboard look like timber

The Colour Shimmer Sprays I used in Just Blue, Singing the Blues, Envy and Snow White I used to make my painting in my frame and add to the jar of water to make it look like it had been used for the painting and the Bling I used on the paper clay key hole I painted a few layers to get the depth of colour I wanted

 Colour Paste in Fire Engine, Sunshine and Singing the Blues not that you can see the Sunshine through the Paint Brush Stencil Jar splats to add to the art part of the canvas

It's a great stencil as it has the jar, the brushes and the splats 

 I also used the Colour Shimmer Spray Fire Engine Spray on the handles of the scissors painting it on a few times so it came out nice and deep and then used some Finnabair Old Silver Wax on the blades to make them look more like real scissors lol

On the border I used Colour Shimmer Cube Tangerine Dream 

I added a Heart from Charms Creations and a flair button from It's and Bits Craft Supplies 

And loads of flowers lol
