Prima Gothic Fairytale

Hello everyone! This is the time of the year when Prima has the annual DT Call. I decided to join the movement, took a bunch of Prima goodies and put them together in my way - in the Gothic Fairytale style. I decided to follow my way and my emotions and created three projects that I hope express my thoughts and my imagination.This means I had to include my ingredients that I love and enjoy to work with: dark glows, broken buttons, dark branches, stitches, wire...

The first project is a Mixed Media Canvas. The title is Five pieces of one heart and I've made it for my sister for her 40's birthday. This heart represents each memeber of her family and together they form a heart.



I covered each piece of a cardboard heart with different patterned paper. I decided for the Something blue Prima Collection. The pink pieces are for the girls. The majority of Prima embellishments are on the piece that represents my sister as  the gift is for her and as moms are the heart of the family. All the pieces are sewed together  - the family bonds. Each member is spreading out his/her branch as every single person is a someone that contributes to the world in his/her very personal way. Each branch also reveals the name of the single family memeber.



The Prima Vintage ziplock says "Moments" as this is what a family has in common. Our goal is to enjoy them, accept them, deal with them, remember them, learn from them...

 The second project is a layout. It's about life. You all probably know the thought from The Lion King: 

“The past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it, or learn from it.”

I decided to put it down in this LO for my son. This lesson is quite hard but yet so simple. The past doesn't exist anymore but at the same time it can be a great gift. So, the secret is not to only remember but it goes further - to Learn! I simply started with writing the thought with different pencils at the top and continue with it all throuhgt the page.



 
I started with putting a dark glow all arround the edge and in the center with the Chalk edgers. In this LO I used the Prima pencils to make some distressing elements from the top of the paper and out of the little holes as well. I stamped the Prima Fence stamp and also filled the empty spaces with the pencil to create a diamond pattern.

I have to admit I love to tear appart the Prima flowers and get them distressed in every way but I appologize with sewing the pieces back together again :-)


 Vintage trinkets an some stamping, drops of Prima bloom mist, branches and pins arround the center leads the focus to the most important part of the LO.

Also my third project is a LO. It says: 

"You were born to be real, not perfect."
 


I decided to use the Prima bloom spray mist but this time I didn't want to spray it. Instead I prefered to use some Masking fluid to write the most important word in this thought: REAL. Then I used the Masking fluid also to delineate the heart shaped stain. I simply covered this part with different Prima bloom colors put them on the paper with the brush and after dry I rubbed off the Masking fluid and I love how the heart popped out. I completed the heart with the Prima watercolor pencils - just an accent here and there on the edges of the heart and some distressed efects.


The borders are adorned with some texture paste and golden flakes and they are in a good company of the Finnabair Prima clear stamp - Vintage Vanity collection.
