Playing with Prima Marketing and Nicole Wright

January 15, 2019 2 Comments

Mixed Media is all about trusting the process. It’s always messy in the middle and we have to let the creativity take over. Nicole here and I am sooooo excited to play with Prima. For this tutorial, I am using Finnabair. This is my first time exploring the textures, shimmer, and detail of these fabulous mediums and paints. I started by applying some torn book pages with 3D Gloss Gel Transparent making sure to apply an even coat over the paper. Add a layer with the Offset Dots Clear Stamp using permanent ink, Ranger ink Archival Jet Black. Add a layer of texture with Plaster Paste and mix in a little mint- green Patina Effect Paste to tint your Plaster Paste.

November 29, 2018 4 Comments

There’s a new baby joining my family! Hey crafters, Nicole Wright here and no it’s not me! My great nephew will be here in a couple months and I needed a card STAT for the baby shower. Let me set the scene… I need a quick card because I have left it to the last minute. My Brother Scan N’ Cut2 is perfect for making this quick card in just 15 minutes. I whipped through the cuts and went straight for the animals. I mean you can’t go wrong with a giraffe. I select the cuts and adjust my size to fit my standard card. Load my scrap paper onto the cut mat… in the middle because it’s sticky there. I cut the words in both patterned paper and black to create a shadow. Why not… I’m already cutting right. Then I do the same with the giraffe. I cut the patterned…
