Berry71Bleu February Guest Artist

Hello Everyone, today I am Guest Artist at a fabulous monthly challenge site called  "Berry71Bleu"

Thank you to the lovely Denise Van Deventer for Inviting me to join in this month. Each month a new Mood Board is published.

This month for February the Mood Board Challenge is a really

gorgeous mood board. Take a look…..

But firstly a little about myself,

My name is Adriana Bolzon,

I have been a devoted Scrapbooker, card and paper crafter for over 15 years.  You will always find me in my craft room creating, experimenting with different techniques and products, and hopefully inspired others to give it a go. It is a hobby and creative outlet, which I am totally passionate about. I believe that preserving memories are important, and scrapbooking is a great way to create lasting treasures to keep or to give as gifts.  My style is very classic with a distressed, shabby chic and vintage twist. Another passion of mine is creating altered art pieces, turning everyday items into works of art.  My work has been published in many Paper-crafting magazines around the world, and also featured on online scrapbooking forums.

I live in beautiful South Australia with my husband & daughter. I am very fortunate to have been on many paper crafting Design Teams including Kaisercraft, Couture Creations (Artdeco Creations) and many more.

You can find my creations and more inspiration here on my blog:

Here is my project for the challenge….

I took inspiration from the beautiful pinks, flowers and the small window frames of the old phone booth and created this framed Off the page project.

I covered the whole frame with white gesso and then
added some muslin cloth to soften around the edges. 
Using the new release papers and dies from 
Ultimate Crafts -
Artdeco Creations - Couture Creations

using these collections "Enchanted Tea Party" collection of papers, dies & stamps
"L"Aquarelle" papers, stamps & dies

I cut the dies and covered some of the dies with embossing powders 

Using the stamp set from the
 Ultimate Crafts L'aquarelle stamp set ULT157796
for the flowers of the vase.

Love this dragonfly die Ultimate Crafts L'Aquarelle Dragonfly Die set ULT157785 - I heat embossed the wings and body.

Dream Canvas - L'Aquarelle - Ultimate Crafts

Hi there everyone and thanks for stopping by here, today I have created another project with the new Release paper collection 
Ultimate Crafts  L'Aquarelle 

This canvas compliments the other canvas I created at the beginning of this month, so loving this paper collection and loving all the mixed media to enhance this collection.

Here is my "Dream it - you can do it" Canvas

Firstly I painted the base of the canvas with some gesso and sprayed some colour inks on the canvas, spraying some water over the paints to give a watercolour effect.

Using the fabulous 

Couture Creations Anna Griffin Embossing paste C0724870

Couture Creations Anna Griffin Gesso C0724871 

along with a

Ultimate Crafts L'Aquarelle Stencil ULT157802 and Anna Griffin Embossing paste C0724870 I spread the embossing paste over the stencil and dried with a heat gun.

I also stamped some a script stamp randomly over the canvas. 

Using some of the images from the 

Ultimate Crafts L'Aquarelle papers 12x12 pad ULT157761

Ultimate Crafts L'Aquarelle stampset Fern, Flowers ULT157796

I then cut them all out for my canvas, I also cut the dragonflies from one of the

Ultimate Crafts L'Aquarelle papers 12x12 pad ULT157761

I then arranged the papers and cut out of flowers and dragonflies and stamped fern leaves over the centre of my canvas.

I also glued one of the inspirational cards 

"If you can dream it - you can DO IT " and matted it on some foam tape.
