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.

In honor of Mother's Day I created an mixed media card, with layers of

textures with depth. I truly believe that a handmade card or gifts 

are the best! 

"Happy Mother's Day"

Card

5x7 size 

I gathered a few of Canvas Corp Brands products and started to rip,

tear, distress and add paste with stencils.

I also too Canvas Corp Black & Ivory Chicken Wire Cardstock, I 

fussy cut out the chicken wire pattern...then embossed it many times

to build up the layers and sprayed with Tattered Angels glimmer mist to 

add color tones and texture.

Grabbed a Petaloo flower that was laying around my desk...I colored it with

Tattered Angels glimmer mist it's a great way to watercolor.

Butterfly I fussy cut and water colored the same as the flowers.

I stamped the sentiment and cut out a banner shape distress the edges 

and inked it up and tucked it into the flower.

The water color purple flower is from Tattered Angels

 Mixed Media Origins-Nature. 

I want to wish all mother's and grandmother's a

 Beautiful and Happy Mother's Day!

Hugs,

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!
