Gypsies Moments "Heart with Wings" Art Canvas

Happy Valentine's Day

& 

Canvas Corp Brands

What a great way to celebrate this LOVE Day...than with one of our first Canvas Corp Brands Challenges (see more canvas art on the Canvas Corp Brands blog...they asked us to come up with a canvas to best defines us as a creative person and designer...our style that best suits us. I knew from the moment I saw 7gypsies "Gypsies Moments"  new paper line and 4 x 4 canvas. I started gathering my vintage shabby chic treasures I have laying around my home...to inspire me everyday. 

I also wanted to create my canvas with a "heart with wings"

 and my love for vintage mother of pearl buttons...

Tutorial

(4 x 4 Canvas Corp Canvas)

Step 1. Take modeling paste and

 Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Wedding Pink..

(this is so fun and great to create your own colored paste)

Step 2. After you blended the mist and paste well...

grab a stencil and pallet knife and smear on the paste over

stencil onto the canvas.

Step 3. Gathering your favorite mist...I used Tattered Angels Glimmer mist in

Red Tipped Rose, Wedding Pink, Iridescent Silver,

 Tattered Leather and Simply Sheer in Baby Blue.

 I also did a white wash over the whole

canvas using water mixed with gesso, then dry.

Step 4. I wanted to give my canvas a antique weathered look and feel.

I took Tattered Angels glimmer mist in Tattered Leather poured 

about a teaspoon full in a tea saucer with water.

Step 5. Brush on glimmer mist wash over the canvas (using 

a brush I control where I want to highlight darker areas).

Step 6. Now I poured the wash over the whole canvas and 

let it set on Canvas Corp canvas then drip excess off the canvas in saucer.

Step 7. Used a heat tool to dry and set the wash.

Step 8. I grabbed my favorite flowers Burlap Textured Blooms by Petaloo

and  Tattered Angels Glimmer mist is Wedding Pink & Iridescent Silver.

I sprayed these colors on the flower bloom and heat set.

Step 9. I gathered my pieces for my altered heart.

Chip board, Canvas Corp Printed Papers, Heart Die....

Die cut the pieces, glue together, distress the edges, add 

touches with layers of gesso and drying them to bubble...

Step 10. Adding my favorite new papers from 7gypsies "Gypsies Moments"!!

And  7gypsies Charms and Antique Brass Pin

I hope and prayer you have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

"Love Wishes" Valentine Card & Envelope & Tutorial in Canvas Corp Brands Style

Oh I am so thrilled to finally share that I am part of amazing team for 

Canvas Corp Brands....you will see more about this coming up soon!

But while we wait for this...how about a challenge?

We have a Crew Challenge-Valentine Card with a story, see more details 

over on the Canvas Corp Brands Blog, here.

Here is my

 Crew Challenge-Valentine Card & Envelope.

"Love Wishes"

Part of the challenge was to share a story about who we were going to give our Valentine to.

My story is this...

As I sat at my creative table looking at the blank Canvas Corp Kraft Card & Envelope, tapping my finger my eyes happen to glance down to the tote filled with amazing products from Canvas Corp Brands...my eye spied popping "RED" burlap sheet! I said that's it!!!

I knew I wanted the pop of "RED" with Kraft was made for each other.

It all started rolling..as I was aging the Kraft tag, and distressing the edges of the hearts...My hubby walked by and says oh my that is so cool and pretty.

I love it when he does this! I always enjoy creating something for him right out in the open with him walking by making cute remarks. Like how he loves this or that and for this card he was so taking in by the pop of red with the black and Kraft. He is my biggest fan and loves what I design and create.

He is My Valentine!

The "Love Wishes" banner was such a fun idea...I didn't have alot of Valentine papers...but I did have the new Canvas Corps "His & Hers" Wedding paper. I fussy cut the words, distressed the edges, added to a piece of Kraft scrap. Adorn it with my favorite Vintage Mother of Pearl Buttons adhered down over the stack of hearts. LOVE IT!

Part of our Challenge was to decorate our envelopes as well...I knew I wasn't 

mailing my card, so I created a mini sample of my card.

I found the word 'LOVE" in one of the Canvas Corp printed papers and cut out 

a tag top (around that word)...added more colored seam binding..adorn with button.

I love the riches in the color tones of this card.

Easy Tutorial

I didn't have any ribbon to match my burlap heart...so I colored my own.

Step 1. To pick out the right Tattered Angels Glimmer mist.

I choose "Red Chillies" sprayed on 

seam binding in cream..it's that easy!

Step 2. Crinkling the colored seam binding in your hand (I use a paper towel)

to help soak up any extra glimmer mist. And rub your hands together

fast which helps to wrinkle (crinkles) the binding...for a vintage feel.

Step 3. I had used Canvas Corp's Burlap Sheet in Red

I die cut the heart out...to match the seam binding I sprayed the 

burlap heart with the same mist.

Step 4. Let's not let the mist go to waste....I dragged the burlap

heart through the glimmer mist on my mat.

Gives great depth and texture to the burlap heart.

Here is a close up of the colored seam binding...I love using

glimmer mist to help match my scrapbooking papers and cards.

What's awesome is yes I will be giving this to my hubby, I will

be able to gaze upon this beauty all I want...

Thinking it will need a special place to sit in our home.

There is nothing better than a "handmade" card, give it a try I know it 

will make someone smile and they will cherish it forever.

Art for 5 Day's-Day 2 "Vintage Mini Album & Altered Paper Bag & Gift!!!

Day 2:  Art for 5 Days

Today I bring you a couple of my favorite creations..

that's right I had a hard time choosing only one for Day 2.

So I decided there is no rules to this sharing of my Art for 5 Days...

Why not share what I really love!!

First up is my 

"True Beauty Vintage Mini Album"

The Marion Smith Designs Team has created a mini album farewell! Vintage is my middle name with a twist of shabby chic! I have been collecting many vintage inspired items such as mother of pearl buttons, lace, old book, photos, little bits & pieces....etc. I was flipping through the beautiful paper collections of Marion's (or I should say my scraps..lol). I created this shabby little lovely with Marion's papers (Never Grow Up, Motley, Garment District, Nirvana), along with her Junque & Gems, Doilies, resin flowers. I created the flowers (on cover) with her Bloom Tool, Dies and papers! I felt that the papers needed a vintage backdrop...so old book pages it was!! This mini is simple, vintage and busting with a shabby chic feel......simply love!
Hope you all enjoy flipping through the inspiration of "Something Old with Something New"!!!!

You can see more details and close up's on my blog, here.

I just love the way this mini album came out.

and Marion's papers have so many images you

can fussy cut out and use as embellishments.

and

another paper bag for you to enjoy....
