Playin' with 'tovers....

Recently, I've been working like crazy on crafty projects....one day while cleaning up my crafting space, I came across a BUNCH of 'tovers..... you know the "pieces parts" that get pulled out or created that NEVER make it onto your creation. That is the basis for my canvas.

I began with a Canvas Corp Brands Natural Canvas,
some OHHH SOOO FUN new products I've been working with....PERFECT PAINTS!
and one of my FAVORITE Templates ~ Garden Gate ~ TCW382.
 

I applied the texture mediums through the template, when dry I applied a bit of Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Crushed Shells.

How AMAZING is the stenciled image! Just PERFECT for all my 'tovers!

So what do you do with your 'tovers??

....a Wishing Well!

Howdy Peeps....Just found this post
marked as Draft....oooops
Soooo here it is!!!
A new creation using the
EVER AMAZING Petaloo Flowers and
Graphic45 Bohemian Bazaar.

 

I had seen this wooden box at my LSS and
just KNEW it would be PERFECT for my
latest creation.

I began by lining the box with Faux Moss
to give it a uber earthy feel.

And because I CAN'T JUST LEAVE things along....
I chose to ACCENT the already gorgeous Darjeeling Flowers
with Precious Metal Effects paint....
It just makes the flowers POP!

I adhered strips of the Bohemian Bazaar Collection
to my wooden box.

Once again, I glooped and glopped, with
a bit of a spritz here and there!!

As and added accent...
I created a little flower cluster
on the handle!

And accented it with a little
G45 Chipboard!
The perfect touch!

And there you have it....
a PERFECT centerpiece for
that special occasion.

Hope you enjoyed my "Wishing Well"
and have a UBER CREATIVE DAY!!!!

DT Reveal for 2Crafty Chipboard

Can I just say, I am beyond excited to be apart
of the 2013 2Crafty Design Team. What an UNBELIEVABLE opportunity
to represent such an AMAZING company and  AMAZING product.

I utilized one of the Wrought Iron Photo Adornment   chippies and dabbed Black Embossing Paste  on for texture.

How much fun are the 1.5" Hexagons, embellied with Cream ~ Modeling Cream, through a Mini Hexagon Template then added Gold and Burgundy
Precious Metal Effect Paint. And how cute are the Folk Hearts???

I chose to cut apart the ohhhh sooo cute "Enjoy this moment, This moment is your Life" For my second project, I created a Chunky ATC.

To begin this project your cut up a 2" x 4"
into a 5" piece. Paint "Chunky ATC" with Gesso. I cut up a piece of Chicken Wire Chipboard, painted it and adhered it, randomly, around the "ATC".

I backed the Juliet's Hearts with a piece of paper

and painted it with Precious Metal Effect Paint.

So, the Juliet's Heart would pop!

Can I just say I can't get enough of the 1.5" Hexagons!!

So...what do you think of my "Chunky ATC"???

For my last project I created a card.

Spring has finally sprung here in Northern NH. Now is the time for Flowers and Birdhouses. And the ATC Birdhouse chippies were PERFECT!!

The little birdies are just the cutest. 

There are layers and layers of texture, a little bit of Crackle,  and layers of paint on the Larinda's Flourish!!

What creation of mine would be complete without
a "flower cluster".  I hope you enjoyed my creations!

Word of the year

I'm not big on New Year's Resolutions....
but have gotten into the habbit of choosing
a "Word for the Year"!
This year I decided to create a little something
to hang on my wall to remind me
of the word I chose.....INITIATE!

I began with a burlap canvas that covered with various
mediums....Viva Colour ~ Crackle Paint and Gesso.

I then pulled out my box of Petalaoo Goodness...
and began to choose some flowers to match.

I began the flower grouping with some of my favorite flowers:
Darjeeling Daisies
(I just love ALL THE Darjeeling flowers...PERIOD!!)
Added a few Mini Daisies
and
Mini Pearl Daisies
A bit of Silk Acrylic Glaze ~ Emperor's Gold
and it all began to come together.

Lastly, I pulled out some Chantilly Velvet Leaves
which I pinched and stapled at the
bottom of the leaf, slopped on a bit of
the same Silk Acrylic Glaze,
I chose to use the leaves with
the non~velvet side up!
And there you have it!!

in·i·ti·ate
/iˈniSHēˌāt/Verb: Cause (a process or action) to beginSynonyms: start - begin - commence - institute - open - lead off

I would love to hear what you chose for a "Word of the Year"!!
