Take Life one cup at a time

Ok so my friend Cheri made a reverse canvas and it inspired me to have a go at it.I gotta say I am actually happy with how it turned out.I went with the blues ,browns and cream colors.

There is sooo many details on this thing lol.I will do my best cover it but any questions please ask away . The canvas is an 8x10 size.The layers consist of TH tissue paper and Bo Bunny papers.As well as the clocks were cut from Graphic 45 paper. There is also sprays and inks distressing going on here.

The chipboard corner flourishes are from Blue fern Studios..must get me more lol 

Flowers are from WOC and Prima as are the butterflies 

I was stuck on this corner but I placed this white resin lamppost from Pima but I I used sprays to distress it. 

The cute little bird is Southern Ridge Trading Co.I used some embossing powder on him

The letters were from various chipboard and TH. 

The cups and teapot is also from Southern Ridge Trading Co. LOVE LOVE these. I painted and glittered them up :) 

I hope you like it, it sure was fun to create :) 

Pot of love

Oh a day late and a dollar short....I'm pretty sure that should be my name.I should just go have it legally changed lol...sigh ! I made a Valentines cards..actually my one and only lol.

I made it using a Tiddly Ink image...how cute !! The inside of the card,I used the sentiment that came with it :) 

And how adorable is this Prima resin heart wreath,I added a flower to the middle :) 

Well hope you like...just so you know I have been making some projects.I just gotta get them posted on here lol !!

More Xmas Quickies ..

Ok Here is some more quickies.Although it was time consuming doing the poinsettias lol. They are a Sizzix die for Tim Holtz.It's a fav of mine.I wish they had a smaller version as well or I guess I should say medium because there is the small one. Anyhoo...the papers are from FarmHouse called Norland. Now I bought  it last year but didn't get to use it.It's one of my favs ,the paper is stunning.I also had to get it out of the UK and paid an arm and a leg for because it wasn't even in the US or Canada . I'm not even sure if it is yet either. None the less I'm glad I got it.  

Back to the rest of the card...the sentiment is from Stampendous and the charm is Tim Holtz.The leave spray is Prima.I really wished I had used some embossing enamel around the card but oh well.

As you can see I used some platinum stickles around the poinsettia and sentiment image.Sooo pretty.

Thanks for stopping by Hugs !!

Frosty Friends

Hi !! I hope everyone has had a great weekend.We have gotten our first taste of snow. not that it's a surprise.It would be weird not to have snow for Halloween lol. It sure makes it difficult for buying warm costumes .Of course the kids always pick something that just doesn't do well outside of the classroom lol. I will try to remember to post a pic of Emma in her costume,it's cute this year :) 

So I gotta say it's been a loooong time since I've made an easel card.It's about time I think. I really do like them. 

This week's challenge at High Hopes Challenges

 is all about the 

BORDERS 

or decorative edge 

I liked the idea of the easel card to show off the border punch I used. A Martha Stewart snowflake punch :) And the snowflakes need a snowman...

Here's Frosty Friends from the new release.I added some trees to the background.I know !!! I masked and stamped a background. I can't believe I did it either.But I am kinda happy on how it turned out. 

My papers are from Lili of the Valley .Flowers are from Prima , Petaloo and The Ribbon Girl.The ribbon is also from Ribbon Girl , The Sentiment is from Hero Arts and Stampendous . The die for sentiment and image are from Spellbinders. 

Close Up of Frosty :)  with all that rock candy distress glitter

The cute chipboard piece is from Blue Fern Studios. You can find here at C'est Magnifique Kits  as well as more Blue Fern Studio chipboard...love love this product . I took the berry stems and used distress paint and distress glitter. I like how it turned out :)

So this is Halloween Kitty and up in the corner is Bat  

My papers are from Bo Bunny's Autumn Song . The burlap I got at Michaels,from DCWV .It was a whole pack of colored burlap.But it was on the bright side so I sprayed it with various color..some gold and browns.Can't remember exactly.I just got spray happy.lol I wished i had taken a pic to show you the difference in colors.

Some gorgeous flowers from Prima and WOC. And those cute pumpkins I found at a local gift shop.They are scented and probably not meant for crafts lol but hey why not ?? I spritzed them with some gold spray ,it wouldn't stick to it but rather splatter on it so I went with it and threw the heat gun at it :) The leaves are from Lawn Fawn I believe 

So I hope to see you join us ! I wanna see those pretty colors :)

DREAM & JOURNEY

Hi today I am showing some mixed media work.I am loving working with this art lately. I love working with  gesso,paint ,and sprays...so much fun and easy to do.

First up is a canvas...in both projects I have used dies to cut out of card stock as well as chipboard.

Basically you start off priming your canvas with Gesso.A couple layers if your gesso is on the cheaper side.I then cut out all my designs. Gluing them down and covering them with gesso. I also layed down stencils using texture paste to give dimension.Once you have your layout you then can start spraying...Once I was happy with that I took paint and dry brushed the tops to highlight the dies.And adding gems and pearls.

My second project is a journal that I altered using the similar technique as above.Although instead of paint to highlight I used Inkagold in silver.

Thanks for stopping by Hugs :)
