Fly!

Salutations! I started working on a canvas and made a mistake on it and didn't want to throw it out. I found some scraps of fabric at A.C.Moore in their sale bins. It was a perfect cover up for this 3"x3" canvas.

The fabric was floral and I cut out some of the flowers and glued those on to the canvas. There is a little bit of blue and yellow acrylic paint here and there on the canvas. I used the bird punch from Stampin Up to make a template and traced it onto grungepaper. Once the bird and its wing was cut out I painted the bird with broken china and picket fence distress crackle paint. The frame is a slide mount that I painted with distress crackle paint and attached it to the canvas with pop dots. The three flags where made out of scraps of paper and attached to the string. When I finished attaching all the pieces I added the little pearls all around the frame.

I love to use grungepaper in lots of my projects but it's hard to cut with a paper punch. With my favorite paper punches I punch out the shapes and save them as templates to trace onto grungepaper and fussy cut them out to use on projects. Of course I can cut lots of shapes with my dies and big shot but I have many paper punches that I love to use so the templates are perfect for me.

3" x 3" stretched canvas

Gesso

Blue and Yellow Paint

Floral fabric

matte mod podge

slide mount

Distress Crackle paint in picket fence and broken china

Just Add Ink - Color Challenge #75

Salutations! Had some time after a busy weekend to play in my craft room tonight. I created a card for Just Add Ink's Color Challenge.

Here are the colors.

Here is my card!

I love the sentiment stamp and always wanted to use it with numbers in the background. I have the numbers template from The Crafters Workshop and made my own ink spray with soft suede ink from Stampin Up and I used the cherry cobbler ink with a florish stamp all on vanilla paper. The larger heart is a template and I attached book paper to it and colored it with cherry cobbler ink. The smaller heart, cut out of book paper is a Tim Holtz stamp from his artistry collection called heartfelt. I'm in love with birds right now. I've been using them on so many things. This bird was cut from grungepaper (Tim Holtz bird and bird cage die) and painted then added the stamps. After not creating anything all weekend this was just what I needed.

Supplies

Ivory and cherry cardstock

Book paper

Ink: cherry cobbler, soft suede, jet black archival ink

Numbers template from The Crafters Workshop

Heart template

Stamps: sentiment by Dawn Houser, Florentine scroll background stamp by Hero Arts; Heart and other florishes by Tim Holtz Artistry Collection called Heartfelt

Black Ribbon from HOTP Vintage Rose Collection

More She Art!

Salutations! I made this canvas and gave it to my neice.  She loves to draw, paint and write poetry so I thought this canvas was perfect for her.  I love the way it came out.

Thats it. Short and sweet!

An Art Journal Page and My Favorite Stamp!

Salutations!  I thought I would show you another art journal page.  I haven't written anything on it yet. The heart stamp on the page is my favorite right now (I think I told you already!). I don't know why.

I made the background with just watercolor pencils. I wanted to see how fast I can make a page. The sentiment says, Friendships are seen through the heart not though the eyes. It's a little smeared because I dropped the stamp by mistake but its okay.  The stamps are all from one of Tim Holtz artistry collections. I also used a crafters workshop template too.

Thanks so much for stopping by.
