Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew 2017 "4x4 Canvas"

The Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew 2017!

I'm excited to share again that I am part of this

 amazing design team for another year!

Canvas Corp Brands is made up of 3 great

 brands-7Gypsies, Tattered Angels & Canvas Corp!

You can check out this amazing showcase of the

New Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew over on the 

Canvas Corp Brands Website.

Here is my 4x4 Canvas Art piece to announce

me as a part of the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew member.

I'm a little shabby chic, rustic, vintage kind of gal, 

let me walk you through my creative process.

I am drawn to chippy white treasure, old books, textiles and my 

favorite vintage mother of pearl buttons!

I started with Canvas Corp 4x4 Canvas it's a great base

to start your creative project. I took Gesso paint added

strokes of paint here and there, then took old book pages

ripped them into small pieces and glued

 them around the canvas.

I need texture so I added crackle paste allowed it to dry,

then using Tattered Angels glimmer mist sprayed them

over the cracked paste which allows the glimmer mist

to settle in the cracks giving depth.

I added some cheese clothe, 7Gypsies lace trims and 

Canvas Corps burlap cut piece to gather 

under the main focal piece. 

"Butterfly Tag" embellishment!

I started with Canvas Corp Butterflies on Ivory Cardstock,

I cut out on the butterflies and colored it with Tattered Angels

Glimmer mist. It's like watercolor painting 

it's really fun you need to try it.

To create tag I gather a 7Gypsies-Gypsies Moments

Recipe card, added some thread and adhered the colored

butterfly cutout with only glue in the center

 to give the wings lift. 

Hope you have enjoyed my walk through,  I'm so excited to be

apart of the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew for another

design team term...now be sure to follow the Canvas Corp Brands Blog 

for amazing inspiration and stop by the Canvas Corp Brands Shop

to get yourself these amazing products to create and be sure to share with us!

Happy Father's Day & Die-Namites "MAN WEEK"

Happy Father's Day!

& 

Die-Namites Dies "MAN WEEK"

First I want to say Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband, best friend and amazing father!

Here he is (Lee) with our beautiful daughters (Emilee and Olivia).

Today was bittersweet for us specially  for Lee since

 this father's day was spent with just us, no girls. Our girls are out west working

for college....but we did spend the day with family after church.

Now over on the Die-Namites Blog, this past Friday I shared with all

our peeps my take on this past weeks inspiration theme...

you can start with Lynne's blog post, click here, "MAN WEEK" !

The design team was challenge to create a manly card, layout, altered items...

So I created a Father's Day Card titled "OUR HERO"

using Die-Namites Die "Mom's Nest" 

using Die-Namites Die "Mom's Nest" 

(even though it's called a mom's nest-I used it with different colored card stock)

creating a manly father's love design!

To read about and see more pics on all the details about how I 

created this cute Father's Day Card...jump over to the Die-Namites Blog post, HERE!

With the inspiration to create a manly creation!

I decided to create my card using this Month's Sketch & Dare Challenge!

Here is my card inspired by the Sketch & Color Dare!

I created a Happy Mother's Day Card, using

distress inks with water for a watercolor effect. 

I used the fabulous Die-Namites Dies "Butterfly Frenzy".

I love the watercolor look with Distress Inks...I use my Kraft Mat to 

rub the Distress Inks down onto the mat. Using my water brush picked up

the ink as my color....brushed on layers after layers creating depth.

I love the textures in my card between the card stock, die cut pieces,

watercolors in ink, with the burlap and Petaloo flowers.....colored in Tattered Angels

Glimmer Mists...right down to the tiny Liquid Pearls dots to add softness.

This will make a beautiful card for a mother's day gift.

Art in 5 Days....Day 5 "A Tag Play House"

Art for 5 Days

 My friend Lynne tagged me in sharing my Art for 5 Days over on Facebook....so I decided to dig through my old blog post for some of my favorite art pieces I have created over the years....so I decided this would be awesome to share on my blog as well...what a great way to look back and as well as see how I have grown in my creative journey. To start I decided to make it a little fun and start with Day 5 first and count down to my favorite Day 1 of Art.....be sure to stop by over the next 5 days here on my blog.

Countdown Art for 5 Days:

"Day 5"

Back in February 19, 2011....I decided to take part in a challenge over on Simon Says Stamp and Show Blog  and it was so fun....enjoy reading this blog post here....the link has changed so follow this link above for their current challenges.

"A Tag" Challenge: " A Tag Play House"

 Wow this little "Tag" Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp and Show Blog sure stretched my creative mind, I started out making a simple tag, then taped together two, then three...using the new Graphic 45 papers "Once Upon a Springtime Collection". 

 I also took to shipping tags and covered with papers, inks and created a floor for the walls to be placed on. I used a Hero Arts stamp for the two side gates, I used Tim Holtz "On The Edge-Picket Fence Die" to create the adorable little fence, with old book papers glued on and glimmer misted and painted white.

 To give it a garden bed along the  fence,  I used again Tim Holtz "Tattered Floral Die Cut" to create flowers and sprayed them with Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist (Jazz Blue, Frost and Coffee Shop) also used Distress inks Spun Sugar and Dried Marigold to color the flowers. Added gems and pearls with butterfly punch-Martha Stewart with inked edges. For all the distressing and aging I used Tim Holtz Distress inks (Brushed Corduroy, Vintage Photo, Spun Sugar, and Dried Marigold).

 I cut out the little characters from one of the Graphic 45 papers, added inks and stickles. Finished off the little tag play house with some moss to give it that at home feel. Love it.

 This little paper lantern was made using the die cuts on the Graphic 45papers and taped together and hanging on a stem.

I used a piece of Grunge Paper and inked it with Brushed Corduroy and Vintage Photo, added another die cut little title out and hung it off the picket fence. so cute. A little fairy next to the grunge paper key and butterfly hiding in the little garden along the fence.
I had a blast starting out with one thing on my mind was to create a simple tag with this new line of paper then my creative spirit flowed into this Tag Play House!!!

Thanks for stopping by today,

enjoy-create on....

Here is my take on this month's sketch & dare challenge....

I used one of my "favorite" Die~Namites Die!!

"Leafy Branch"

I decided I wanted to create a "Jumbo Tag"

 (I would love to create more jumbo tags to have on hand to give away).

I love having a basket full of tags, cards, etc to

hand out to my family and friends.

This month's dare challenge is to use "pink"!!

My favorite color-I knew the Graphic 45 

"A Ladies Diary" paper collection was perfect...

I cut my tag out of chip board and covered with black card stock 

along with the paper collection. Inked the edges with Distress ink-vintage photo.

Size of my jumbo tag is 4 x 8.

I began to fussy cut out the flowers and clocks 

and knew the Die~Namites Die "Leafy Branch" was exactly

what the jumbo tag needed! I die cut three leafy branches 

out of green card stock. I cut the die cut pieces apart to be 

able to tuck in around the paper flowers, doily and paper collection. 

Final touches I colored seam binding with

 Tattered Angels glimmer mist in

Wedding Pink (got the pink theme going)

added vintage mother of pearl buttons.

I just love how this jumbo tag came out...

Hope you join us by playing with your creative supplies
