Altered Letter Envelope

"Good for the Soul Challenge"

(Think Pink)

“Think Pink” - Breastcancer awerness month so you need to create monocramatic pink

*Use any technique/material you want but it must be 75% CCB products.

Here is the art inspiration of a monocramatic pink color tones!

We are in October (Fall) season and support for the "Think Pink" - Breast Cancer Awareness Month....we are sharing our support in CCB of the Good for the Creative Soul Challenge for 2018, I would love to share with you all my "monocramatic pink" project.....I created an "Altered Letter Envelope" I hope you all enjoy and are inspired by my project. As I created this envelope I couldn't stop thinking of my grandmother who lost her battle when I was just a young child...and many others family and friends who have fought the fight and won and lost. I love them all and pray for a cure of cancer. I know creative ART can heals the broken spirit and heart with beauty and can bring a smile upon their faces as it as done for me...

I started with a plain letter envelope 5x7 size tore it apart and used it as my pattern template. I traced the envelope pattern onto a Canvas Corp Pink & Ivory Dot Reverse paper, cut it out and adhered back together in envelope form. Next I used TCW Light n Fluffy modeling Paste and stencils to create the raised patterns on top of the envelope, allow to dry. Stamped randomly over the front of the envelope in black ink, heat set the ink with a heating tool.

Gathered a few of my favorite Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in pink tones. Using a round paint brush I dipped in the glimmer mist and patted in a few places over the envelope. Sprayed with a little water and let the glimmer mist run over and around the raised modeling paste patterns. You can add more or take away with a paper towel or wet wipe. Dry with heat tool. While I had the Tattered Angels glimmer mist colors out I painted a few other items like the burlap flower, ivy tissuestock pieces, cheese cloth....as well as the 2 x 2 stretched natural canvas. Dry with a heat tool and set aside to dry completely.

Lastly I love to embellish I gathered up a few pink color tones products to use and started to build my altered letter envelope. Inside the envelope I created a shabby chic card using the 7Gypsies Gypsy Moments 4 x 6 Printed File Folders as my card base. Added the adorable 2 x 2 Stretched Natural Canvas tucked in. The show stopper is the fabulous Canvas Corp Burlap Flower painted and adorned with my handmade fabric flower, Canvas Corp Tissuestock die cut floral petals and 7Gypsies Architextures Angel Wings tucked in and around the burlap flower. Finishing touches are sequins, buttons, enamel dots. To help give depth to the envelope I used Ranger's Distress Ink in Black Soot sponged around the edges of the envelope. Now it's ready to give as a gift to someone special.

CCB Fall Blog HOP! Altered Paper Pumpkin Canvas

  Hello Friends, it's Peggy Lee! Thank you so much for stopping by today. You are in for a treat! Today I am participating in a MEGA BLOG HOP!!!!!! There are over 30 fantastic designers world wide that have come together to showcase terrific fall projects that you can recreate and put your own artistic touches on in your craft room. You have seen a lot of these designers featured on sites like Tattered Angels, 7 Gypsies and Canvas Corp Brands! Do you see a trend?

 This is the CCB Fall Blog HOP! Each of these designers have created a project to share with you on their blog. Some are offering prizes, so please hop on through to each blog. If you are inspired would you be so kind as to share the hop with others? We would truly appreciate it!

  

If you came here from Natassa Blazaki  you are hopping along....welcome!     

  

Let's get started with my Fall project.... An Altered Paper Pumpkin Canvas!

I knew I wanted to create a paper pumpkin, I grabbed a couple of the 

7Gypsies Architextures papers "Travel Habit and Made Fresh" 

to create the paper pumpkins...I love the old wallpaper feel 

and florals with hints of old text. 

I first started with a hand drawn template onto chipboard, cut out a 

base template and then the pumpkin template pieces.

Here is a closer look at the 7Gypsies Architextures papers cut out in 

paper pieces. To help give depth to each piece I used Vintage Photo 

in Distress Ink to distress the edges of the paper pieces. 

I glued down the outer edges of the paper pumpkin pieces, and to 

give depth to the pumpkin I popped up the middle piece to help

give pumpkin life and movement.

Now onto the canvas, I started with The Crafter's Workshop 

White Gesso painted on a few layers to prime the canvas. 

I do love how this Gesso goes on so smoothly!

I went into my scrap drawer I gathered up a few paper scraps of 7Gypsies, as well as Tissue Stock Kraft and burlap  by Canvas Corp. 

Using up your scraps and fiber leftovers to create

beautiful backgrounds for your canvas art is a fabulous way to add texture. 

Next I grabbed a few stencils and TCW Light and Fluffy Modeling Paste

 placing them in a few areas over the canvas. Allow to dry.

After the canvas dried completely I started to give the canvas layers in color using Tattered Angels glimmer mist is a ray of colors. Please forgive me I was so into painting the canvas I forgot to snap a photo to share with you....oops! Once the canvas was dry I lightly brushed over the stencil patterns with Gesso to add highlights. Then I used a charcoal pencil to give shadow and depth to the canvas and around the pumpkins after I adhered the pumpkins to the canvas. Here is a  close up paper pumpkins on the canvas. I hope you have enjoyed my Fall altered paper pumpkin canvas.

Wow where has the month of June gone, it's fading fast pretty soon we all will celebrating the 4th of July and our Freedom. Well before that happens my hubby and I get to celebrate our birthdays!

That's right our birthdays are only a day apart, the funny thing is that my whole life I have shared my birthday with my twin brother, then I marry a man  and we continued on for the past 26 years of sharing our birthday celebration. And we love it! Oh yes I have said a time or two gosh I have never had my own birthday day! Haha I wouldn't want it any different.

My hubby loves me so and I him, he feels my cup with joy!

We've been married 26 years and still going strong.

Lee is so busy with is music gigs and I tag along with him to support, carry guitars 

and love to hear him sing and play. God has blessed this man with a beautiful talent

and he loves to share it with others. He is a keeper, my man!

Oh this pic, just beams the love and joy we have for each other.

Happy Birthday babe!

Altered Vintage Style Mailbox for CCB Crew Challenge: 12 x 12 Kraft Envelope

Over on the Canvas Corp Brands Blog, HERE is showcasing all the 

amazing artwork from the CREW...

"It is All About The 12 x 12 Kraft Envelope Crew Challenge

Here is my take on this challenge using a 12 x 12 Kraft

Envelope I received in my design team package.

Altered Vintage Style Mailbox

I even used Canvas Corp Brands Names on the mailbox

CCB, 7g and TA

I dug through my stash for embellishments as well as created a little

 "welcome" banner using 7g Architextures papers.

I so love how the CCB Tissue Stock with layers of 

Tattered Angels glimmer mist and paint gives such great texture! 

Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew 

Envelope Challenge

Our challenge was to create a piece of art with the envelope we

personally got in our design team package. 

You can purchase these envelopes over on the Canvas Corp Brands

Shop, HERE.

I received the 12x12 Kraft Envelope in my design team package, 

and this was a super fun challenge. Here is a small walk through

of how I turned a plain 12x12 Kraft Envelope into an 

Altered Vintage Style Mailbox!

I started by laying the envelope down on a scoring board, scoring about an

1 inch in on both sides and bottom.

Fold your score lines a few times helps to give a good crease .

Fold  in on the fold lines to create a bag like shape.

Glue down the two triangle points to the bottom and on the top

fold the closing flap in half as well as the front flap to the envelope.

Not shown-I took chipboard and cut to size of all sides, front and back including 

the closing flaps. I cut to sizes, taped together to create a box shape to slide inside

of the envelope to give strength and shape to the envelope.

I took Canvas Corp Tissue Stock in Natural and Ivory (color doesn't matter)

I crinkled up the tissue stock and glued down to the envelope.

Created chipboard seams and painted with Gesso- white washed everything, this will help the Tattered Angels glimmer mist, glimmer glaze and high impact paint to stick to.

Before painting the final layer this is when I glued down all the 

embellishments like the 7G Architextures Tin Tile, hardware and letters.

Painted it with a layer of  Light Blue of Tattered Angels High Impact paint.

Grab your favorite Tattered Angels glimmer mist and glimmer glazes and color away.

Many layers of mist just keep adding til you get the effect you are looking for.

Allow to dry and then embellish even more, I created a little 

"welcome" banner using 7G Architextures papers.

 I created a little stack of faux letters and adorn it with spring time florals.

Farmhouse Style- Windmill Wall Decor Distressed with Tattered Angels & Tutorial

Do you love the farmhouse style? I sure do, but sometimes wall decor

can be pricey. I knew I really wanted a windmill wall art piece and 

  I knew I could create one. I gathered up supplies and my favorite colors

of Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists and got creating. Here is a simple tutorial

for you to follow along with me. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy.

Tutorial

Creating the pattern panels

I hand drew my own pattern, but there are patterns/coloring

 pages to use online just pick one that you like. 

Next I traced the pattern onto chipboard and cut it out (I did 7 panels). 

Now glue the chipboard panels down onto tinfoil (yes you heard me right TINFOIL).

It's amazing what you can create with chipboard and tinfoil together. 

Once you glue the chipboard to tinfoil cut around the chipboard 

panel leaving a 1/4 inch boarder all around.

 Wrap the tinfoil around the chipboard with glue.

 Next I covered the back with piece of tinfoil to fit.

Dry Texture: Embossing

Grab your favorite embossing folder and carefully run the

chipboard panel through the embossing machine.

 I had to run it through a couple of times to cover the whole panel

I love how tinfoil looks embossed.

Sand down the top of the chipboard panel after you emboss it, this will

help the Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist to stick to the tinfoil. 

White wash the chipboard panels with Gesso or white paint.

(white wash-brush on paint and wipe it off with a baby wipe, etc.).

Tattered Angels Time

Now onto the FUN PART-Coloring with Tattered Angels

Glimmer Mist. Canvas Corp Brands has a ton of beautiful colors of Glimmer Mist

 for you to choose from. Follow this link to the Canvas Corp Brands Shop, grab

your favorite color of Tattered Angels Glimmer mist. 

Coloring the Panels

I started by spraying the lightest color down first and worked out to the darkness.

Now it's a good idea to let the mist pool together and blend...dry in between the

layers of glimmer mist...you don't want mud color to happen. 

I think I sprayed and painted with a brush to help move the color, 

I used a heat tool and paper towel to dry and dab off the excess of color. 

(I used many different colors of glimmer mist, you can use two or four colors. It's 

really up to you and the look you are going for.)

Here is what the windmill panels look like once the glimmer mist

is dried. I just love the old time feel it gives using tinfoil.

The windmill blades needed more texture so I grabbed a few

embossing powders and I added a few layers over and over.

Sanded down the melted layers to take away the shine and

 give tooth for the glimmer mist to hang onto.

Here is a photo of the back of the windmill to 

help give depth on the canvas I added chipboard pieces

 around the windmill. 

I created a backdrop onto a canvas using chipboard strips

cover with wood grain pattern papers. Distress edges with

Oxide Ink-Walnut Stain..glue down, off set the paper slats.

To give the faux wood grain look to the background.

After the windmill was attached to the canvas and hung

on the wall I could step back and see where the piece 

needed more texture. I used Metallic-Rubs-ons colors brushed

onto with my fingers, highlighting the textures to help bring them out.

Loving the textures....
