NYC or bust.....

Howdy Peeps.....

Here is my "NYC ARTSY" canvas bag
I created for Winter CHA ~ 2013.

I designed and created the canvas bag
from Canvas Corp ~ Canvas.
and embellished with the New York Destination Papers
Along with.....LOTS of Viva Colour Pearl Pens!!!

I began by image transfering various images from
the New York Destination Collection
to different size pieces of Canvas Corp ~ Canvas
using Claudine Hellmuth's ~ Multi Medium ~ Matte.

I chose to use Pearl Pens to color
the canvas bag and embellies
because they are fully washable when dry!!
What an AWESOME FEATURE!!!

SOOOO....I dipped the caps of the Pearl Pens
into puddles of Pearl Pen and stamped with it,
colored the Petaloo Canvas Flowers with it...
and I found that if I spritzed it with
water or my favorite Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist
when freshly applied....
they could be easily manipulated.
.....and it splatters REALLY WELL, too!!!

A good example is the matching wallet I made.

I love that it is even dimensional!!!

Hope you have enjoyed my ARTSY creation as
much as I did making it!!!

A White Christmas Tree

I wanted to share with you a post that was recently on the Petaloo Blog for the

Tis the season of Gift Giving....
Tis the season to be Merry and Bright!!

So, what can one make....worthy of the above....
with one piece of Canvas Corp ~ White E~Flute Paper,
two packages of Petaloo ~ CMC~Wild Roses,
one Canvas Corp ~ Canvas Fabricpage,
and from my stash......
a jar of Emperor's Gold ~ Silks Acrylic Glaze,
one bottle of Luminarte ~ Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist,
miscellaneous stamps,
and a paper mache cone.

A BEAUTIFUL centerpiece
that can WONDERFULLY adorn any holiday table.

I began by separating the Canvas Fabricpage into two pieces.
I then tore one piece into 2" x 12" strips and
and cut (4) Tattered Leaves from each strip.

With various stamps, covered with Silk Acrylic Glaze,
I randomly stamped the leaves and
the other piece of the Canvas Fabricpage.
Then, let the pieces dry.

When the leaves were dry,
I spritzed them with water,
and dipped the edges into puddles of mist.
When the leaves dried from this process,
I pinched the large portion of each leaf together
and stapled it together, giving the leaf more dimension.

Next, I took the white e~fluted paper,
and tore it into various size strips
(1"-1.5" wide) then into (4) pieces per strip.
(leaving a 4" x 12" piece leftover)

I sprayed each strip with Emperor's Gold ~
Luminarte Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist,
along with the CMC ~ Wild Roses.

When the strips were dry,
I rolled the ends of each piece
and spritzed the rolled ends.

I then assembled my tree
beginning at the bottom of the paper mache cone.
I topped off the tree with
(3) CMC ~ Wild Roses.

With the leftovers, I created a gift tag.
I pulled a bit of vintage lace
and a CMC ~ Canvas Flower
from my stash, along with a memo pin
to embellish the tag.

And there you have it....
A Heartfelt, Handmade Holiday gift
that can be enjoyed for years to come!

Tis the Season for Gift Giving!!!

Hi peeps.....the Black Friday Frenzy is over
and I'm not sure that I am happy to say I was a part of it!!
WAY too many people.....
stores that looked like a BOMB had gone off....
long lines with GRUMPY people!

This year....I think my gifts will consist more of
"Gifts from the Heart"!!
Something handmade....something personal....
something to Cherish!!

With this thought in mind....I created this project.

The basis for my project was an embroidery hoop.
I cut a piece of Canvas Corp Burlap a bit
bigger than the hoop.
then colored the wooden hoop.

I pulled out a couple packages of Petaloo ~ Holiday Darjeelings
and Color Me Crazy flowers and leaves
to accent my "hoop"!

I did get a little "artsy fartsy"
with the image transfer of the Victorian Lady
and a bit of Molding Paste.
Also a bit of Silk ~ Acrylic Glaze
and Luminarte Radiant Rain in the mix!!
