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.

Thanks for stopping by, besure to stop over at the CCB Blog, Here.

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.

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.

CCB 5x7 Card-Dressform with Chicken Wire & Tutorial

I'm featured on the Canvas Corp Brands Blog today,

sharing my 5x7 Card created with Tattered Angels, 7Gypsies and Canvas Corp products.

Here is a 5x7 card using the 7 Gypsies Architextures-Market Signs card stock

 which I used the flip side with beautiful wood grain floral patterns on it.

This card was a work of  "love" with a few cool 

techniques and tricks. I will share how I took Canvas Corp Chicken Wire Card stock

to create my own embellishment.

 How I dressed up a dress form die cut with CCB Flute paper. 

So let's dive in....

Creating your own chicken wire embellishments 

(which I have video sharing these steps, below).

I used Canvas Corp Black & Ivory Chicken Wire Card stock, fussy cut out

a section of the pattern. Dabbed on Versa Mark embossing ink

and embossing powders to create depth and tooth for the Tattered Angels glimmer mist

to grab onto. It's all about layers and more layers....

Picture below show the finished embellishment I glued 

old book paper and netting behind the embossed chicken wire piece

 for an added layer on the card front.

Here is the video sharing this technique.....

CCB Chicken Wire Card stock to Embellishment

Here is a close up photo of the added textures of lace, netting, buttons 

along with a 7 Gypsies antique brass pin and LOVE charm. 

Oh can you see the texture on the embossed embellishment....love the weathered look.

Here is part two of adding Tattered Angels glimmer mist...

Tutorial Video

Part 2

CCB Chicken Wire Cardstock to Embellishment

Let's chat about the dressform die cut piece, I die cut out the dressform many times

in different papers to create layers. First layer chipboard, then Tattered Angels

Mixed Media Origins-Nature and the top layer is Canvas Corp Flute paper-white. I distressed  the edges with Tattered Angels glimmer mist-Graphite, adorable!

Thanks for stopping by today, go ahead and grab your papers, mists and create away!

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!

Tattered "JOY" Banner with Canvas Corp Brands

Tattered "JOY" Banner

I love this little beauty I created with many different 

Canvas Corp Brands products.

Love the handmade tattered look with the pastel color tones for

a shabby vintage feel!

I first started to create canvas tags then when I had them line up 

together I was oh a banner maybe. I grabbed Canvas Corp Black/Ivory Plaid

card stock, cut to size. I distressed the edges added modeling paste with a stencil "lace"

then added Tattered Angels High Impact Paint in White, where I did

a layer of white wash let dry, added Tattered Angels glimmer mists in Red Tipped Rose,

Wedding Pink, Dazzling Diamonds, Pink Coral and Crushed Shells. Just

kept painting and drying to get the desired look I was going for "SHABBY"!

Punched the eyelet holes strung with the Canvas Corp Jute Rope (I pulled it 

apart to in half)...this helped threading it through the holes. Tied together.

The inspiration was the new 7Gypsies Seamstress paper collection and with Tim Holtz Tattered Poinsettia Die. Oh this paper collections is just delish and screams vintage, so I knew I wanted 

to use this for my banner. I die cut the poinsettia flower out of the paper and canvas then I 

white washed the pieces, added glitter to the edges...I also used the Tim Holtz Tattered Pine cone Die with the Canvas Corp Black/Ivory Plaid card stock and painted it blue with the Tattered Angels High Impact paint-Blue....love this paint cause it allows the pattern to show through!

 "JOY" 

chip board letters 

I painted white covered with thick layers

of Gesso and heat set them to bubble. After dried I painted again with the Tattered Angels High Impact Paint-Blue...love the texture!

Last panel I embellished with an canvas ornament

I die cut out another Tim Holtz Carved Ornaments...I ran it through a Maggie

Holmes music embossing folder...

painted it with Gesso with Rose Color Fragments, Glitter and buttons.

Love Love Love

Last touch was covering all the panels with Diamond Dust Glitter, 

also added 7Gypsies Lace 

and trims glued to the bottom of the banner for shabby feel. 

I really enjoyed gathering my Canvas Corp Brands supplies and created this

fabulous Tattered "JOY" Banner for my home. There is nothing better than creating your very own Christmas decorations and gifts...why not start by stopping over at the Canvas Corp Brands Shop and start gathering!!! Thanks so much for stopping by get creative and make memories.

Merry Christmas, Peggy Lee
