Soar Above

Hello and welcome to the Light It Up Blue For Autism Awareness Blog Hop!

I have no personal story of Autism.
I just want to help where I can for those who have it or are raising a child with it. 

We have so many fantastic sponsors that have shown their support for Autism Awareness and you can see the complete list here: http://lk2thestarz.blogspot.com/…/the-light-it-up-blue-for-…. If you would like a chance to win a prize from one of these fabulous companies leave a comment on this blog, and any of the other blogs participating in today's hop! Winners will be chosen at random and will be announced on Monday April 6. Instead of a card, I created a Mixed Media Canvas!


This 11x14 Canvas was inspired by YouTube Video by
Vicky Papaioannou

sparkly details

Star Mask - UmWow Studio
used with modeling paste & topped with Faber-Castell Glass Bead Glitter Gel
I hand cut all the hot air balloons
all the background colors are Faber-Castell Gelatos
grid is Unity Stamp Company Stamp
Alphs stamps from Fancy Pants Doodles & Things
I also free handed the cloud cu-outs
topped the clouds with Wink of Stella
all detailing using Copic Markers on balloons & clouds

I hope you've enjoyed my projects!

  16. Oh my Goodness!!! This canvas is amazing...I really enjoy watching her utube videos. I tried doing one of her pages for in my art journal...took me forever. (she really does make it look easy...she is so good with her instructions...I'm just slow.)
    So after doing my art journal page, I can really appreciate all the time and work you put into this detailed beauty. But it was sure worth your time! Frantastic!
