Seize The Day by Mona Pendleton

Hi there and welcome to the 13arts blog. It's Mona here to share my last project as a 13arts DT member. My term has come to an end and I would like to thank Aida for the wonderful opportunity to have been a part of her team. Aida and the entire DT are all so creative and inspiring making my experience unforgettable. 

For my final project, I made a layout featuring a photo of my sweet boy, Griffin along with a variety of fabulous 13arts products:

I combined beautiful papers from the All is Love collection I added texture and design using Modeling Paste along with the Scallops stencil. Behind the photo is a fun piece of Honeycombs small chipboard which I applied a coat of Gesso to:

Once the background was dry, I embellished using stamps, rub-ons and flowers from my stash:

Many thanks for visiting!

Once upon a time canvas with Mona Pendleton

Hi there and welcome to the 13arts blog! I hope you are having a great week! It's Mona here to share a canvas I made featuring a photo of my dear son Jerry and his beautiful bride, April. This photo was actually their engagement announcement photo.

To start, I added lots of texture to the canvas using Ayeeda Acrylic Modeling Paste along with the Gears Stencil. Once dry, I applied a layer of Gesso ~ Acrylic Primer over the entire background including all the embellishments, 13arts Ayeeda ~ Timeless Subtitles, and lace trimming. Once the background was dry, I randomly applied beautiful Ayeeda Mists Pearl Bordeaux " full strength" as well as some that I diluted for a more subtle shade of pink. I applied  Modeling Paste to the pocketwatch frame, allowed to dry, then applied Pearl Gold Paint followed with Matte Black paint:

To add color to the previously Gessoed title, I sprayed using the following 13arts ~ Ayeeda Pearl Mists: Black Graphite, Brown then lightly, applied Pearl Gold Paint:

To complete my canvas, I randomly flicked on diluted 13arts ~ Ayeeda Gesso:

Many thanks for visiting! I hope my tutorial helps provide you with a better understanding on how to create a project like my sample.

a layout and tutorial with Mona Pendleton

Hi there and welcome to the 13arts blog. It's Mona here to share a layout featuring a variety of fabulous 13arts products. To create the background, I combined pretty papers from the Timeless and All is Love collections.

I added color to the metal flower embellishments using the following 13arts mists / inks: Pearl Mist ~ Brown, Pearl Mist ~ Navy Blue, Chalk Mist ~ Chalk Dark Brown, Chalk Mist ~ Chalk Turquoise, Water Ink ~ Navy Blue:

To create the trio of clock embellishments, I adhered acrylic dots to 13arts patterned paper, then trimmed around the perimeter:

Here are several step shots I took along the way sharing my creative process:
Apply a thin coat of Gesso ~ Acrylic Primer to the background and embellishments:

Apply Pearl Gold paint to background and embellishments:

Live, Laugh, Love and A Tutorial with Mona

Hi there! It's Mona here with another project to share featuring a variety of awesome 13arts products! With Valentine's Day right around the corner, I was inspired to create this altered chipboard heart:

I added lots of texture and dimension using Ayeeda Acrylic Modeling Paste along with a Brick Wall stencil:

I randomly added color using the following beautiful Ayeeda Mists: Pearl Bordeaux, Pearl Brown and Chalk Yellow Amber. TIP: rather than spraying the mists on my project, I prefer to apply using a paintbrush which allows for more control.

Once I was happy with the colorful background, I adhered a variety of embellishments. The bigger blossom shown below was a white paper flower from my stash that I customized using Ayeeda Pearl Mist ~ Pearl Bordeaux:

I repeated the same process altering the bigger blossom shown below using Ayeeda Chalk Mist ~ Chalk Yellow Amber

Here are a few photo step shots that I took along the way sharing my creative process:

Step 1: Randomly tear strips of Ayeeda Faces of Spring Collection ~ Natural Beauty patterned paper, apply to chipboard heart. Allow to dry.

Step 2: Apply Ayeeda Acrylic Modeling Paste along with a Brick Wall stencil. Allow to dry.

Step 3: Randomly apply the following beautiful Ayeeda Mists: Pearl Bordeaux, Pearl Brown and Chalk Yellow Amber using a paintbrush:

Many thanks for visiting! I hope my tutorial helps provide you with a better understanding on how to create a project like my sample.

Best Regards, 

Mona
