Karolina\u00a0<\/a>is back with brand new summery fun canvas! It\u2019s all thanks to beautiful\u00a0Prima Marketing\u00a0Havana<\/a> and Santorini<\/a> papers. Karolina is a fan of texture and layers, so the whole work is made using Aqua Tinsel Embossing Powder<\/a> and WOW\u00a0Santorini Glitter Sparkles<\/a>. She used Clear Crackle Paste and Graphite Texture Paste<\/a> and added some Art Stones<\/a> to add even more texture. She used Tim Holtz Mixed Media<\/a> and Memory Box Wrapped Stitched Circle Frames, <\/a><\/span>to add color and shimmer she used Magical Pond Acrylic Paint<\/a> \u00a0and Jade Impasto Paint<\/a>. Doesn’t it look gorgeous!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Emma’s<\/a>\u00a0memories of summer are all about friendship and sunny days by the sea and with these happy thoughts in her mind, she created a canvas panel that has layer upon layer of Tim Holtz products including a Sizzix Seashell<\/a>, Collector Ephemera pieces<\/a>, a\u00a0quote chip<\/a> and some foliage which was die cut using the Funky Florals 2 die<\/a>.<\/p>\n

She used torn papers to create a slightly distressed\/textured background, painted with Gesso<\/a> and then inked and spritzed before stamping the text using a Tim Holtz Block Upper Alphabet Foam Stamp Set\u00a0<\/a>She used a Cocktails Blueprints Stamp Set<\/a> and an Altenew Brushed Alpha Die Set<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Macarena<\/a>\u00a0always<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>tries to visit new places during her summer vacation so she made this travel tag using Tim Holtz Sizzix Globe die<\/a> colored with Distress Oxide Inks<\/a> and crackled with Distress Crackle Paint Rock Candy<\/a>.

\"\"<\/p>\n

Maura\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0made some art journal pages to share how much she loves going to the beach in the summer.
