Put your thinkin' caps on cause this week at

Simon Says Stamp and Show

ANYTHING GOES!

I was having a hankering to work with texture (now that's a surprise!!!)

I pulled out a piece of Zutter Canvas Art Board and various stuff: dictionary paper, tissue paper, Canvas Corp canvas and burlap and cardboard. I adhered everything with Multi Medium.

When dry I applied a layer of Gesso.

Then I let the spritzing begin!!! I tried a product I had never worked with before...and it was kinda fun.....Buccaneer Bay and Long John Silver.

I used another product I had never worked with before....Big Brush ~ Warm Grey. I colored my line stamp with it and stamped randomly on the cover.

I painted the beautiful Petaloo flower with watered down gesso.

Do you see the amazing Canvas Corp goodness....jute, canvas tag, kraft paper.
 
Just loving the trinket dangle....just the perfect touch to my journal.

I put the whole goodie together with
the Bind it All!!

Sooooo....as I said.....
ANYTHING GOES!!

Wouldn't you just love to win this little loverly??

Shabby Shabby Shabby

From the moment I saw these stamps, created by the girlies over at IOD and sold by Unity Stamps, till the day they arrived in my hot little hands I was dreaming of what to create!!

and CREATE I did!! The base for the project is an Zutter 8" x 8" Canvas Art Board (love this product!!)

The House of 3 Mannequin is all dressed up in Picket Fence Distress Crackle paint, Spun Sugar and Vintage Photo Distress ink, along with some vintage jewerly and lace!! How about the Dusty Attic Gate.

The whole project is held together with Claudine Hellmuth's Multi Medium Matte.
Hung nicely with the Zutter Hang it Alls.



Now to find a place to hang this beauty in my studio!!

Firstly, I need to say this project is full on 

MY NEW LOVES.....

So having said all that......here it is!!

And let me tell you......the Distrezz-It-All is just the most amazing tool....the time saved, the "chowdering" it does to the edges....and I'm not saying that just because I design for Zutter....it truly is AMAZING!!! my GO TO TOOL for sure!
