Turning Stamps into Art !!!

Hi Bloom fans, Milagros here with you today! Only a few more days until Sunday when we celebrate Mother's Day. Today I am sharing a sweet project you can make in time for Mother's Day, believe me it takes barely a couple of hours with stunning results, thanks to Jamie's awesome stamps!

Inspired in my mom's garden which gets visited by hummingbirds on a daily basis here's my project

You will need

Catrina, Mother and Anneli Stamps

I am sharing the full images just so it's easier for you to picture where I got my images from

Start by priming your canvas, I always begin with a coat of gesso

Stamp and roughly cut your images

Adhere them to your place of choosing with gel medium

now you are ready for some paint!

I am using Liquitex acrylic paints in different shades of blue and white

For my hummingbirds I chose a mix of watercolor pencils, acrylic and mica powders

For my roses I chose a couple of different reds and white to create depth and richness in my flowers

here's a closer look at my canvas

the hummingbirds sparkle with the gold, green and blue mica powders, just as they do in nature.

I hope you have enjoyed my project, that it has brought some last minute inspiration for your Mother's Day gifts.

Enjoy this weekend with Mom!

Milagros

Supplies used

Catrina, Anneli and Mother stamps

canvas, paint and brushes

Bloom Girl Bliss with Guest Bloom girl Zoey!!

Hello everyone!

It is me, Zoey again!! I am so happy to be able to share with you my last work using stamps from the Bloom Collection!

I have to apologize because I do not have step-by-step picture , I was filming a video when I realized I wasn't recording at all. I hope I can still give you the idea on what I did!

Material Used:

6x4 ATC PAD Time Traveler's memories #814076
6x6 PAPER PAD Time Traveler's memories #813932
12x12 SCRIPT PAD #844417
Gardenia Bloom Girl Stamp #980207
Color Bloom Spray #573881 , #573829 , #573812 , #573805

I started with a plain white canvas and I glued some strip of papers here and there and then I covered the whole surface with a bit of gesso with a bit of water in it.

I did this because I wanted to tone down a little the paper but I didn't want to cover up the whole thing. I then sprayed the surface using Bloom Sprays a huge mix of color!

When everything was completely dry I stamped the beautiful Gardenia Girl - I know I said it already in my last post (that you can read here) but what I love most about all the Bloom Girls is that light of hope I can see in their eyes, it is pure magic to me.

I stamped twice the rose on Gardenia's hair over a piece of paper, add some color to it and fussy cut it. I glued the pieces to the base using foam adhesive

I added some splashes of color here and there and also added some crackle paint to give more interest to the background.

The quote is a quote I found in the 6X4 ATC PAD (#814076) , all I did was cutting it down into stripes and distress them with the distressing tool. I love when I find pre-stamped quotes in my paper pads, makes it so easy to coordinate everything together.

And there is my finished canvas. I hope I was able to give you an idea on how I achieved this result even without step by step photo or video.

I hope you will like the result, as always for any comments, questions, suggestions please leave a comment!

Stay happy, stay creative....till next time!

Virtual Gallery Walk Day Four....

Well today is the day for me to share my art piece and my reasonings behind it.

I am HUGE on finding inspiration around me. Inspiration doesn't always have to come from fellow or past artists--although they do dish a heavy dose of creativity but I wanted to show how you can take the most unusual sources to create art after. I find symbolism, emotion, and a ton of inspiring material in music. Music is as free to interpretation as is the arts and crafts field. I chose the music of Johnny Cash to create an art piece after. The songs I chose to use all have an underlying tone of overcoming your battles, your inner demons, and the judgmental eyes of others. Nothing can hold you down, no one can pull you down and stifle your dreams...unless you allow them. Don't let them! Fight for your dreams, for your goals, for your future.

Here are my sources of inspiration. Make sure to adjust your speakers incase the music is too loud ;)

And here is the outcome....

"Break Through"

I left the canvas, including her, more neutral. I wanted to show how her urge to not give up and to break away from the negativity is the warm light that guides her.

This piece is painted on a 36"x36" canvas. I used mists, Montana Can Paint Pens, Golden Acrylics/Molding Paste, a dress pattern, raw linen, wood puzzle pieces(from Q's toy box shhh), Prima/Donna Downey mask, Jacquard Lumiere 3D, and Beacon Adhesives Fast Finish Decoupage.
