Fresh and Fun Layout For January

January Flying Unicorns Kit of the Month is Here!

The January kit from the Flying Unicorn has a fresh pop of color to usher in the new year. 

Packed full of wonderful embellishments and papers from 13Arts Secret Letter Collection. The really interesting thing about this particular kit is that you can take the rich berry wine colors in the papers and make a bold statement or toss in your own accent colors and see where that takes you.  So that is what I did here. 

I used a lot of light pastel accent colors along with the 13Arts papers for this page to make it light and airy for the new year and to make it perfect for some sweet little girls.  

The photo is of my darling Great Nieces and  sweet Sister-in-law. This was taken right before they moved to Germany so the photo holds a lot of sentimental meaning.  The next time I see these little gals, they will be a few years older and so different.  

OK so what did I use here?  I used some Prima color blooms on the paper - Lime Wedge, Cotton Candy, and Soft Teal.  Then I added a few more pops of darker colors from Silks Acrylic Paints - Coral Berry,  Guatemalan Green, and Bolivian Blue.

You can see the cool laser cut wood words from 13 Arts that also came in the main kit.  I decided to leave them with their natural finish because it is just a clean light finish. 

The Unicorn store has a variety of Stickles. 

The moth is fussy cut from the 13Arts Secret Letter papers.  I topped it with Stickles glitter glue in Icicle.  I'm hooked on Stickles lately because they make anything a little glitzy.  

You can grab your kit right here.

Make A Watercolor Canvas with Distress Inks - Blitsy and I Will Show You How

Watercolor Mixed Media Canvas Without Using Watercolors 

 Are you interested in trying a watercolor technique without investing in a set of watercolors?   I have an easy way to try a technique on canvas that will give you the look and feel of watercolors just by using water reactive inks.  

I also add some other fun mixed media elements into this soft and flowing canvas. 

I'm up on the Blitsy Blog with a fun, easy, and fresh feeling project to try in the new year. 

There is a quick video showing all my techniques posted right on the Blitsy Blog. 

You can see the quick 6 min video right here. 

Look What You Can Do With Prima Color Bloom Mists

Look What You Can Do With Prima Color Bloom Mists

Prima's  Color Bloom Mists were coordinated with paper collections, but they also are great used together with warm richness.  My canvas sentiment says, " Be Yourself.  Everyone else is taken."  A quote by Oscar Wilde.

I love this project because I used a lot of texture by integrating Prima's micro beads and crystals.  The best way to adhere them to a canvas or page is by using  Prima Art Basics - Soft Matte Gel.  You just slather the clear Matte Gel Medium on the project and sprinkle the beads, sequins or glitter right on.  The gel dries clear and the project has a rich texture finish. 

Here is a horizontal view to show you how dimensional this project is.  

And a close up to show just how pretty those micro beads are paired with the crystals. 

Thanks for stopping by today!
