...because I can!

Hello my faithful followers!

Thank you sooo much for taking

the time to stop by my blog!

I am soo EXCITED to say 

I have dusted of my videography skills

and for the first time in 2 years I have

loaded a video onto my YouTube channel.

Please be gentle on me.....

I have been in kinda a "valentine" mode!
soooo....I came up with the great idea to create some
Little Love Notes.

From there came the inspiration for

my latest Art Journal spread!

And a third project....

created from the left over

Shades of Love........

Howdy Peeps.....

Been a while since I've posted here

on my blog....but I have a good one

for you today!!

Over the holidays, I was

pawing through some of my past work

and came across this little lover~ly 12"X12" Canvas
I created back in 2011....

I decided to use it for my inspiration

for this wall hanging I created....

The base of my piece of Wall Art 

is a 14" x 30" Burlap Banner by Canvas Corp.

I began by adhering pieces of printed tissue paper

to the burlap banner.

Along with pieces of Deco Mesh, Chicken Wire

and Honey Amber Silk Acrylic Glaze!

I, also, randomly applied Golden Pearl Mica 

through a stencil.

Then I began creating hearts.....

using Canvas Corp ~ Printed Canvas ~ Tile
and Canvas Corp ~ Velvet Fabricpage.

a piece of Canvas Corp ~ E Flute Craft
and Canvas Corp ~ Burlap Sheet Unsewn

Look at the Flower cluster I created...

using Canvas Corp ~ #80 Cardstock ~ Kraft
and Black Cardstock.

the next heart was made from 

Canvas Corp ~ Printed Burlap ~ Chevron

accented with Vintage Lace.

I had LOTS OF FUN with this heart....

I began with a piece of 

Canvas Corp ~ Canvas Sheet Unsewn.

I stamped on it,

sprayed it,

painted on it

dipped it in color...

then adorned it with Vintage Lace

and a flower cluster created from 

various Canvas Corp Papers.

Now I have to say.....

Everything on my piece of Wall Art was

colored using a handful of products....

Cinnamon Brown and Honey Amber

Luminarte Silk Acrylic Glaze.

Black Orchid ~ Primary Elements
and 

Viva Colour ~ Gold ~ Precious Metal Effect Paint.

I was ALWAYS amazed at how

the SAME color varied when applied to the various fabrics

making the project SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!

I hope you enjoyed my

SHADES OF LOVE ~ Wall Art...

It was a BLAST TO CREATE....

Pull out some of your supplies and experiment....

it is a VERY ENJOYABLE process!!!
