So what do you get when you mix our collections together with our new art mediums? Well, that's a SECRET we cannot wait to share with you! Today we are combining the gorgeous Cigar Box Secrets line, along with Finnabair's Mixed Media art line, our Color Bloom sprays, Chalk Edgers, and more! The result? A WONDERFUL collection of beautiful projects! We're even going to include basic "recipes" so you can see which products our gals mixed together to create their results!
It's a breeze to combine ANY of our artsy products! Whether you choose gel, gesso, paste, or any of our ingredients...you are sure to end up with high-quality designs! Not sure where to start? Why not try one of our recipes today by Keren or Kelly! Each gal started with an Art Basic product (gesso, gel, paste, etc), mixed in an Art Ingredient (glitter, art sugar, mica, or beads), and finally stirred in a splash of color (with Color Bloom sprays or Chalk Edgers.)
"My daughter dressed up in this hippy costume and posed for me so cutely that I had to scrap it. The costume's colors matched perfectly with the Cigar Box Secrets collection and I combined coordinating Color Bloom Sprays. I used a variety of Finnabair Mediums to create texture in the background- such as glass glitter, glass beads, gesso, and modeling paste. The soft matte gel works perfectly to adhere the ripped paper and the letters." ~Keren

A soft touch of art mediums is all you need to bring gorgeous texture and a hint of sparkle to your page! Kelly combined a
sweet stencil design,
modeling paste, and a dash of
Art Sugar for a delightful shimmery accent on her layout.
"Cigar Box Secrets has a softer side! I chose the more neutral tones to create a baby layout with this collection, and added neutral flowers and pastel background work to make it all fit together." ~Kelly
