Today by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone Suzanne here

This was a fun little project for the Memory Maze Blog with colour but also my favourite rust and owls

Make sure you visit our Facebook page so you don't miss out on anything new

I started of with the Door Wire Stencil and some crackle paste on a mini canvas I set it aside to dry on it's own as it has ha better crackle when you do this

Once the background was dry I used some Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink in Citrus, Slipper and Spice

Dripping the colours down the canvas and adding a little water to spread the colour over the whole canvas

Then with the 2 piece vintage oval frame I painted it with some brown acrylic paint then some Rusty Paper Paint dabbing it randomly then I added some Frank Garcia Memory Hardware Artisan Powder in Trianon Patina in random spots

I cut 2 of the outer Hearts a pair so they sat in each other then used the Artist Inks again to paint them 

I painted the flowers behind the owl with the citrus as it needed some more brightness behind the owl

The owl I used Frank Garcia Memory Hardware Artisan Powder in Umber, Clay and Black and mixed in a bit of Colour Blast Colour Spray Mocha and the leaves I used the Grass Artist Ink

From the Globes set I took the little vintage timer out and painted it with Artisan Powders and then a bit of the Mocha Colour Spray and a bit of Cobalt Shimmer Dust mixed with a fair bit of water 

I added a few white flowers because you can never have enough flowers LOL

Enjoy the Moment by Suzanne Franin

Hey Everyone my turn on the Memory Maze blog today 

Make sure you check out the Memory Maze Store and check out what's new this week and see the blog for what the team have been up too

We also have an Instagram account so make sure if your in Insta you go add us memorymazelaser

and I'm slowly working my way through my daughter's wedding photos 

There's no hurry as they don't want an album so I'm doing what I want with the photos that I love the most

The girls did their own hair and make up which turned out beautiful

This is what the Heart with Wire Insert looks like except with all the hexagons in it 

I sat and glued all the hexagons onto a piece of cardstock with the outer edge but not the full frame 

Once everything was glued down and dry I added Colour Blast Heavy White Gesso over the whole thing - I did a couple of coats to make sure I got into all the grooves 

Then as you can see above I used the Colour Blast Colour Spray LOVE painting into the grooves as steadily as possible but as you can see that didn't quite happen I went over the edges a bit but it added to it I think

Then I used some Journaling Cards from the Prima range Midnight Garden (it's so pretty) and a couple of flowers from the Ephemera pack

On the Words Fancy - Smile and the Enjoy the Moment I rubbed some Finnabair Metallique Wax in the Brushed Iron to add a contrast colour

Then on the Prima Junk Yard Findings Globe I painted the back with some Finnabair Mettalique Acrylic Paint in Red Wine which suited the flowers in her hair and is a very similar colour to the Bridesmaids skirts 

Then I randomly placed different sized white flowers around the project

Purse Card-By Leanne Nankervis

Hi Everyone!

Leanne here to share another project with you today, using Memory Maze Lasercuts.

Today I'm sharing a purse card, I made for a friends upcoming birthday.

Purse Card

I made this little purse card with some leftover papers, I had in a Kaisercraft paper pack. I wanted this card to be shabby chic, so I added laces and flowers and some resins. And added little word sentiments, from the Memory Maze pack.

Purse Card and Matching Envelope, I used the There's only one you from the sentiments pack, which I just used a white distress paint. The happy Birthday also from the sentiments pack, I used a white embossing powder with a gold glitter through the mix.

Mixed Media backgrounds with Sarah

Hello crafty friends, Sarah here with some mixed media backgrounds I have been working on this weekend. These are great for art journal pages, to use for cards or in your scrapbooking.

Using a range of stencils and stamps from Memory Maze, I firstly brayered on acrylic paint to create the first layer. I then used stencils and stamps with coloured ink and paint to add further layers. Here are a small selction of my favorite stamps for this kind of project. I love the flexibility of rubber stamps - being able to bend and move them to stamp on the page. The full range of stamps can be found here.

For this background I used some bubble wrap and applied some white embossing powder to make it pop on the darker background. The mini stencils offered by Memory Maze are perfect for this - they are 4x4 inches or 100X100mm in size and are great to easily manouevre around a wet background.

Here are some of my favorite stencils (I love them all, but these are very versatile for creating backgrounds or for mixed media projects).

I like to work on many pieces at the one time so I dont have to get my paints and inks out at various times. Here is another background using some Memory Maze stamps and stencil. I have also used other stamps from my stash for these backgrounds, including Paper Artsy and Aall and Create. Paint used here is from Dina Wakley. div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hi Everyone!

Leanne here to share another project with you today, using products from Memory Maze Lasercuts.

Love you Layout

Today I'm sharing a layout using Prima Georgia Blues paper collection, Finnabair new icing pastes and Novu embossing powders. My star of my page is this beautiful flourish piece from Memory Maze Lasercuts. This is my daughter Alannah! we had a few fun outings, over the school holidays taken photo's.

My Memory Maze flourish I used a white distress paint, to give a shabby wash look to the frame, I then used Finnabairs pearl Icing paste to add some highlights to my frame.

Close up of this stunning flourish from Memory Maze

For my Love You title I used a beautiful dark purple embossing powder from Novu.
