Valentines Canvas

Hello & Welcome back!

Can you keep a Secret? Well I hope so.......because I am sharing my Flat back Canvas that I just created to give to my husband for Valentines Day!

The background was created using Paint, Modeling Paste and Stencils. I used the medium (6 x 6) Navajo Stencil and the Heart Stencil. 

My Husband and I have been together for 17 years and married coming up 14 years.  I thought the Title 'Journey' was perfectly fitting! I used glitter spray to colour it a warm brown with a shimmer effect. 

I used a light tan paint to apply colour to the Delicate Lace Doily. I trimmed off a section of the doily that was not visible. I tucked it in the layers to give more delicate detail and painted it a darker brown.

The Delicate Lace Bar is my favourite addition to the Canvas. I simply used a red glitter spray and it turned out great!

To finish the Canvas off, I added cloth, lace, a variety of flowers and a few gems for sparkle!

Cherish Sign

Hello

Happy 2017 Everyone! I hope this post finds you in a New Year of Good Health, Happiness and Creativity!

For my first blog post of this year, I wanted to share with you a Sign I created. I love SRTC Welded Words. I have used them on Plaques, Mixed Media projects, Cards, Scrapbook Layouts and numerous Home Decor items.

Here, I have heat embossed the Cherish using Ivory Frantage and a Embossing Ink Daubber from Stampendeous. I have used Multi Medium Matte to adhere the word and foliage down to the Sign front. 

For my foliage pieces, I have painted with Distress and Acrylic paint. I then added flocking, Flower Soft and Stickles to give them dimension. My favourite is the Ivory Flower Soft on the Pussy Willows. 

For Hanging, I simply used seam binding in a warm brown colour. You can see it in the first picture.
