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 :) 

Fairy Garden Canvas

Ok today I am excited to share this.I have been in some sort off mojo rut.Cards just haven't been sparking any interest to me BUT I have found working with mixed media has really boosted my energy. I think about it non stop.I was able to attend a crop a few weeks back and got to play !! Get inky,sticky and full of paint lol !! FUN FUN !  

So I was able to meet the owner of Southern Ridge Trading Co , Karen ! What a sweetie and well enabler lol.... I was able to do some shopping for my all time favorite thing..CHIPBOARD . I found everything I needed and well a heck of  alot more !! Go check it out ( Happy Shopping)

This canvas is just a 6x6 size,I did it small,but kinda wishing I had done bigger,But I am happy with it. There is so much texture in this ..lots of stencils from TH and Memory Box ,texture paste,lace,doily,cheesecloth...spritzed all up.

That cute flourish and bird is from STC..

and so is this Fairy Garden sign !! OMGoodness adorable !! The stems came from blue Fern studios.The mushroom I believe came from fabscraps..don't quote me lol .The fence I have had for some time ,it's Maya road .

The Explore word is also STC ..I had finished this canvas but something was just bugging me about it..I needed a fairy ..so I went online and printed one out and set it on the word...I think she needed to be there.

I hope you like ...:)

Sweet Treats

Today as this is posting I will be at my daughter's grad ceremonies. Another one down,just one more to go lol. In all seriousness I'm a very proud momma.

Ok I bet your looking at the calendar and saying "Did I miss something?" lol .No you didn't ,Halloween isn't this early. Our challenge over at Lacy Sunshine Challenges is 

Goth/Non Traditional colours 

such as in hair colouring etc

As you can see I went with green hair . As you've heard me say before I struggle with hair.But this time I was happy with how it turned out. Now I got to use papers from Bo Bunny Fright Delight.I had bought it when it came out then never used it.

So I had some spraying fun with chipboard pieces. I sprayed the mushroom,flourish,clock and web with Dylusions Black Marble and then with Ranger Perfect Pearl Mist Sunflower sparkle and Prima Sparkling Iris

Aren't those bats cute?? They came from my border punch. You can almost see it under my image lol.

Love of the Carrot

Hi peeps ! How about another Easter card ? Yep I and I got  another one after today's card. I'll show you that one tomorrow.But today I'm showing this adorable bunny from Karen's Doodles.It's an oldie but a goodie. I just love the way he's hugging that carrot lol. 

So my papers are not Easter ,as matter fact I believe it was a summer line from My Mind's Eye. I believe in versatility . I have been known to use Christmas papers during the off season lol. Gotta make it work right,And if you're on a budget this is a great start to saving money. 

That delicate beauty of an oval is from Spellbinders. It's a favorite of mine.

Another great chipboard piece from Southern Ridge Trading Co. I stamped the sentiment from Stampin Up onto the chipboard after I agve it a quick dust of distress paint.

Thanks for stopping by !

Bloom

As I promised I'm back with another Easter card. This one is featuring a Saturated Canary image. Now I find myself intimidated by these images but this one (excluding hair lol..I'll always be intimidated by that ) was quite fun to color.Now these colors are not soemthing I typically use.I do find pastels hard for me.But these papers from Lili of the Valley makes it just a bit easier ;) 

Now of course my flowers are from the good stock WOC and Prima. The cute fence is from Memory Box dies.

Those stamens are from The Ribbon Girl ..this place not only has the fabest ribbon but all kinds of flowers,charms etc...!!!

That adorable little chipboard piece " Bloom " is from Southern Ridge Trading Co. This is a new Canadian company that has some great stuff !
