Altered Mini Canvas Heart Necklace

With Valentine's Day coming up this weekend, I've been

busy making Valentine decorations, handmade cards, etc....

So this got me thinking why not a piece of jewelry!

Here is my altered

"Mini Canvas Heart Necklace"

I gathered up some items new and old...vintage finds!

It all started with a Canvas Corp Mini Canvas Banner Shape.

I colored my raw canvas piece with Tattered Angels glimmer mist.

Folded the mini canvas shape in half, cut out a heart shape.

Here is some yummie color mists and glaze!!

I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists in

Lobster, Red Chillies, Wedding Pink, Woven Burlap

and Plumeria Glimmer Glaze.

Time to embellish!!

I first covered my heart with a stencil

and modeling paste let it dry.

Punched my holes added eyelets 

to create my chain through.

The open space was great to tuck in

7Gypsies lace just having it peeking out.

Gathered some vintage lace, trims and buttons 

to embellish!

Enjoy the close up photos...

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hope this inspires you to gather a few supplies

and create your own altered jewelry.

Here is my take on this fabulous challenge...

"THE FIRST SELFIE"

(so I can crop them out later.)

I created a mixed media card for the challenge, 

started by gathering my Canvas Corp Brand supplies.

&

Let me walk you through my mixed media card!

I started with a card base, for the card layers

I used a few pieces of 7Gypsies paper collection

Gypsy Moments-Roses Reflections, Board & Room 

and Express Yourself.

Gave the layers some texture with gesso, modeling paste with 

stencils, cheese clothe, CC grey burlap and rope. Added color using

Tattered Angels mists in color challenge colors with a few extras!

Close ups of the textures of my card...

love the burlap and beads peeking through.

I even colored the CC jute rope with glimmer mist...so fun!
