Mexico Moods Guest Designer

Hi everyone!

     Laura here to bring you our first Guest Designer for our Mexican Moods challenge...

This wonderful designer will be an inspiration to all of you (and I am sure she already is) We all adore her creations and are so thrilled that she is joining us today....

For this designer it is a return to her roots. She appeared at our Creative Corner as a winner in June 2011 and by August she had joined the team - you can find her first appearance on the OCC DT here!

We are so thrilled to be welcoming back to Our Creative Corner -

Marjie Kemper!

Marjie Kemper here, delighted to be featured on Our Creative Corner.

I have a long history with this site as I started out uploading my creations to OCC back in 2011 (here's my first -- I didn't even know how to light a photo then - it's okay, we live and learn!) 

I was inspired by the awesome Mexico Moods board in many ways... the colors, shapes, and visual textures really called to me.  Drawn to the rough metal and the bright colors, as well as the fabulous pots in the picture... I had loads of options for creative play.  

Here was the visual prompt from OCC:

I started out with a window stencil from StencilGirl Products (designed by Michelle Ward), and spread DecoArt modeling paste through it.  I let it dry overnight, but depending on where you live and how thickly you put it on, you could be ready to move on in as little as 30 minutes.

 

These are DecoArt  Media Misters - I love their rich concentrated colors. 

I used a variety of stencils with jet black Archival Ink and an ink blending tool and a little nib to color in the 'gaps' in the word stencil.

I hope you enjoyed my take on the Mexico Moods. Please come visit me or find me on social media when you have a chance. I teach classes online and in person, and I'd love to say hello to you.
