Hi everyone I am sharing a canvas I have made for a friend's birthday . I saw one on Pintrest that used scraps and thought it was a really great idea . I am really happy with how it has turned out although  I am not sure if I'll leave it just like this or add to it . Its still brewing in my mind .but I would be happy with it just like this . 

 

 

So I started by gluing down some strips of paper, then I painted gesso  over the top of those strips . Next I glued on some  random negatives from my chipboard images and painted gesso over them as well  .

Next I sprayed some of my home made Mica mists over it all . I did one coat dried it then did another .Until I was happy .Than I painted gesso over it again using a stipling brush ,Untill I was happy with the effect . Then I rubbed it all over with Inka Gold rub in two colours .

Then I added some hand made flowers .I painted some chip board letters with gesso then coated them with dimensional magic and added some beads.

Was really happy with how the beads look like ice and I didn't want the title to over power the rest of the canvas . Hope my friend likes it . Until next time stay safe and keep creating .

 

Hi everyone here is a page I have completed . I saw a page on Pintrest and they had used a punch on the edges of the page and again on the photo edge . I liked the idea and tried it out for my selfusing an EK circles punch . It distresses the photo in a different way .

 

The are two types of flowers I have used on this page . There are apricot ones from petaloo and the white and gold ones are punches I bought . They are pretty cool you punch with one and then emboss with the other .They make super cute .

The gold feathers are a new die I purchased at TJ"s Srappin in Style at Woodridge .

And of course it wouldn't be my page if there wasn't a few of my charms thrown in for good measure . Thank you for looking . 

Here is another project I did last week using some more Viva products .Toni from  https://www.facebook.com/TjsScrappinWithStyle showed me how to make this very textured background using Viva Ferro and Viva Precious metal colour .

 

 

I love this grungy look and just had to continue the grunge theme with some chipboard cogs also covered in Ferro and  Inka Gold rubbed over them.

I love the depth and texture you can achieve with this technique .I added some charms ,wouldn't be me if it had no charms now would it .I have rubbed some of the Precious Metal colour over the charms as well .

Layered some gauze and distressed and inked some cardboard and down the left hand side I have placed some cut out paper cogs using a new release Cherry Lynn cogs die .

To finish it all off and keep it looking grungy I added some steal wool, unused of course .

Hope you enjoyed looking .

Hi I completed a page today I got my inspiration from a page I found on Pintrest http://pinterest.com/pin/278801033154944153/

 

Have used a few different Kaiser  ranges of paper . I have used texture paste with a reverse brick mask on the back ground then sprayed it with Magic mica mist and embossed a hesin stamp by heartfelt creations .

 

I punched the edges of the wood grain paper and inked it with black ink . I die cut some banners using the Tim Holtz Tattered banner die and inked around the edges.

I cut chipboard cogs out and inked them with black ink first and then I used Viva Gold paste on them . The colours I used where  Hematith and Kupfer .I also used the Kupfer on the title . The letters are cut from old pepsi cans . I love how once this paste dries you can buff it up and it becomes shinny like metal .

I added some gauze and hesin under the photo mat .I also added just a few charms .

The photo matt opens and there is room for more photos and journaling under . It is held shut with a magnet .

Thanks for looking .

 

A new page I have completed of two of my beautiful granddaughters .

I started by using impasto and a mask . I dried it off a little and them rubbed a bit of silver mica powder over it so its more subtle than texture paste .

 

Than I layered some strips of paper down to look  like ribbon . I added some lace

I used some cut out letters and painted " Cousins" white and  put dimensional magic over them and added white seed beads , to give them  plenty of texture. I have distressed the edge of the photo really heavily .

.I used some tags that come as part of this Kaiser paper range.  Over the top of the tags I have placed a wire heart that I made . I made the beaded branches on both side and added flowers to it .I think they look as good as the ones prima use to sell .

A close up of the impasto with mica on it .

 

Hi again here is a page I did for Kaiser last month .

 

I have made the flower from punched out hearts and I really enjoyed this page all of the paper is layered as well

Hi Everyone I posted a photo of a She Art canvas I did a few weeks ago you may remember it of not go back a few posts and check it out . I am just updating the photo as I did a bit more to it . O used my copic markers and did a bit of shading on the dress .

 

 

I think it really makes the dress stand out more with a bit of shading add to it . You can use the makers anywhere on the canvas but I love doing the dresses like this . Hope you have enjoyed looking .
