Adventure with Emma - Created for 13@rts


Hello again from Australia!

This share i must admit was lots of fun. I decided to create a wood canvas.
I chose to mix up a few of the collections, which works very well with all the 13@rts products, so really this wasn't too much of a problem at all.


Playing with plenty of texture was really my main focus. I managed this by layering Splash Inks & Chalk Mists first onto a pre-gessoed background.  Blending them as i went to create a 'beachy/summer' feel.


Once dry I added a coat of Gel Medium and then placed the transparent foil - The Journey over the top. I wanted more texture so i mixed modeling paste with the Rainbow Color Duo - Turquoise and used this through the Vintage Newspaper 6x6 stencil.


Behind my image I built layers from sheets of 6x6 Travel the World paper that i cut into 2 different sized tags.  Layering with with a few of the 'Travel the World' chipboard pieces also. Some of these are inked and some are embossed.


Painting the 'Adventure' title with just 'Black Cat' acrylic paint and nothing else really made the word a stand out among the other components.


My final touches were a few quotes from sticker collection 'Victoriana', a scattering of 'Black Square Glitter' (oh my this is some awesome glitter) and a splash of White 'Splash Ink'. This just tied everything together nicely. 

I hope this has inspired you to create and use different products/collections together and really make a project your own.

Look forward to next time, Emma xx
