Playing along.....

Hello my friends......

LOVE is in the AIR!!

....and Valentine's Day is right around the corner. 

And Canvas Corp Brands has a new challenge.

I had already created some "paper" that

I thought I was going to use for another challenge

but it fit this challenge perfectly!!

I created my "paper" by adhering various papers, fabrics and textures

to a piece of printed paper.

I mixed a bit of Mudd Puddles ~ Sand with a bit of

The Crafter's Workshop ~ White Pearl Modeling Paste.

I applied it to my "paper" through

an UmWowStudio stencil ~ Hexagon Confetti Stencil.

When dry, I applied Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glam ~ Bon Bon 

with a pipette, drying between layers, 

until I had achieved my desired look.

I then, cut the paper into mini ATC's.

I found it easier to cut from the backside of my"paper".

I just love how every ATC is so different from another. 

With the leftover "paper" I cut out various sized hearts.

Then, using a pipette filled with

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Red Chillies

I dropped the color onto the hearts.

Don't they look AMAZING!!

Here are my finished Valentine Cards.

I used Impression Obsession/Yvonne Blair Designs

Everyday Quotes 2

They were just PERFECT for my cards.

 Hope you enjoyed my
Love filled cards!!

LAUGH.....

I'm on a roll....
two blog posts in a ROW!!

AND.....it's another CHALLENGE!

CREATIVE CARTE BLANCHE

wood

a word
and
something wild

and here is my creation!

I think this project fits the parameter....DO YOU????

The base is a 6 x 6 wood palette.

I lathered on Perfect Paints texture mediums through
various stencils for background interest.

It just so happened, I had picked up a piece of birch bark
while on my walk today!
So, I decided to incorporate it into my creation
along with a bit of chicken wire.
(doesn't everyone have a roll of aged chicken wire in their studio??)

Next, I pulled out my handy dandy staple gun
and secured the pieces/parts to the wood palette. 

I then, pulled out a package of Cherry Blossoms
........but something seemed to be missing!!!!

SOOOO.....I gathered up the pieces/parts

put on my jacket and headed outdoors in
search of a branch!

To finish off my wooden canvas and the challenge,
I needed......a word!
I chose......LAUGH

I spritzed the word and rubbed on a little paint for color.

NOW.....it was PERFECT!

(and a bit wild)

I hope you have enjoyed my creation.
