The Enchanted Garden Collection: Cobblestone Cottage and Hazel Faerie mixed media painting by Leigh!

Howzit Creative Friends!
I’m so excited to start sharing some fabulous creations featuring my new release, The Enchanted Garden Collection🎉  If you believe in fairies and love fairy houses then you will love this collection😉  My new magical fairy cottages are full of whimsical charm and are surrounded by fantasy flowers, tall magical trees, twinkling fireflies and honey bees!  I also drew 2 beautiful silhouette faeries called Sage and Hazel for you to populate your magical scenes with too.

Today I'm sharing a mixed media painting I did using the Enchanted Garden Cobblestone Cottage with Hazel the Silhouette Faerie flying around.  I just love this little cottage with it's pine cone roof, it's quaint and so whimsically cute!

The background is watercoloured with Wilted Violet, Bundled Sage and Forest Moss Distress Oxides and I painted the images with watercolour paint and then enhanced the entire design with Prismacolor pencils.  I also used a white gel pen to add details and highlights too.

The Enchanted Garden Collection is available as a complete bundle and individually.  You can also get the full set of Faeries on their own too!  Shop The Enchanted Garden Collection at LeighSBDesigns Etsy Boutique and enjoy the new release sale good through midnight pacific on July 22nd!

"Fireworks Burning Bright" mixed media Oddleigh tag by Leigh!

Happy 4th of July Creative Friends!
I've got a fun and fabulous tag to share today plus 4th of July weekend SALEbration news🎉

Shop LeighSBDesigns store wide SALE this holiday weekend and pick up some must haves for your collections!  The Sale starts at midnight tonight and ends at midnight pacific on Sunday July 7th!  Enjoy😀

lil miss Oddleigh July 4th is the star of my mixed media tag creation today.  How adorbs is she!!!

She's so cute and super fun to create with and I paired her up with my own handwritten text.
 I'll be adding this lil text story to an upcoming Sentiment Set so stay tuned😉

 I had so much fun creating this fun July 4th scene with all the dimension, texture, sparkle and shimmer....soooo pretty!

I created the background with Wilted Violet, Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxides with fun water splats to create the mottled textural effect that I think looks like distant firework lights.  I used Dylusions paint pens to base colour in the Oddleigh Fireworks and then applied Sunny Yellow Viva Pearl 3D gel to the stars and blue and pink glitter glue to the sparks.  I also used black and white Dylusions paint pens to add the fun border to frame the scene as well as her cute checkerboard stockings.



 I coloured lil miss Oddleigh July 4th's hair and face with prismacolor pencils and her eyes, lips, clothes and the USA flag with sparkle gel pens.  For even more shimmer I applied clear Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen to her eyes and eyelashes as well as the highlight areas on her face.  The text is handwritten with a black sharpie fine point pen and mounted on Crafter's Companion heavy weight black cardstock.  I used the same cardstock to die cut out the large Crafter's Companion Contemporary Tag.  To add even more fun shine I used gold Pebeo gilding wax to edge and enhance the stitched design on the black tag as well as frame all the text.  I layered my scene onto the tag with pop dots for some fun dimension and adhered the text with tacky glue.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing lil miss Oddleigh celebrate her 4th of July and hope your evening is as magical as hers🎉 

Don't forget to shop my SALEbration this weekend and add her and her friends to your collections😉

Tutorial Tuesdays: Scratch Hearts and Distress Oxides Background - Valentine card by Leigh

Howzit Creative Friends!
It's time for a Tutorial Tuesday segment and today I'm going to show you how to make a quick and easy card with LeighSBDesigns Scratch Hearts background digi and Distress Oxides!  I made a cute Valentine card so you can see that the Scratch Hearts isn't just for your dark themed projects! 

Scratch Hearts is now on FLASH SALE and ends at midnight pacific Feb 21st!

I got the new 12 Distress Oxides for my birthday and couldn't resist playing around with 3 of the new colours to make an easy but effective background for my card.

I applied the oxides to a sheet of mixed media cardstock with foam ink applicators.   I started out with Tattered Rose at the bottom and randomly applied it while moving up, switched to Shaded Lilac and then finished with Blueprint Sketch.  I wanted to create the look of twinkling stars and a quick mist of water from a mini mister did the trick.  I let the water sit for a few seconds and then dabbed off the excess with paper towel.  I dried the cardstock with my heat tool and printed my Scratch Hearts collage background onto it.

I randomly applied clear Wink of Stella to some of the hearts for just a touch of magical sparkle.  It's hard to capture how pretty clear Wink of Stella is in photos but you can kind of see it in the photo above and below.

To allow the background to be the star of the show I chose a small cat rubber stamp to pair with it.  I inked up the cute Cat Balloon stamp by All Night Media with Lady Bug and Tuxedo Black Memento Ink onto a panel die cut out with a rectangle die.  I watercolour painted the background with Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide and a paint brush.  Kitty was coloured with Copics in N0, 2, 4 and R20.  I hand wrote the sentiment on the balloon with a black Micron pen.  I completed the image by adding Viva Pearl magic transparent violet to the balloon.  This gives the balloon some dimension and a lovely violet pearlescent shimmer.

I then edged the stamped panel and the background panel with Black Soot Distress Ink, layered them onto red cardstock and trimmed leaving a 1/4" border.  I mounted the background onto a folded white card blank and attached the kitty panel to the front with pop dots for a touch of dimension.

Happy Stamping!
