QUEEN wear.......????

When I saw this weeks challenge at Simon Says Stamp and Show
King and Queens

I pulled out my Distressed Doily, some Kraft Resist Paper
and cut my crown! (it took two pieces of paper!)
I then white washed the edges with Picket Fence Distress Stain.

I brushed on some Glue Gloss and the sprinkled on some Fairy Dust!

(every crown must shimmer!!!)

I used my Tattered Floral and my ohhhhh soooo NEW Mini Tattered Floral die

IS LOVE!!!

the song title I chose to use for this weeks challenge over at

Simon Says Stamp and Show!!

The inspiration for my burlap canvas was the heart. I adhered a piece of Canvas Corp ~ Canvas to a piece of chipboard with Multi Medium. I then die cut the heart and ran it through my Big Shot using an embossing folder.

I pulled out my Fired Brick Distress Ink and floated my Ink Blending Tool over the raised surface. I then spritzed the heart with my Spun Sugar Reinker Mixture. To define the edges, I used Aged Mahogany Distress Ink.

I used a piece of Canvas Corp ~ Cording and tied it around the heart.

On the Canvas Corp ~ Burlap Canvas, I used the Crafter's Workshop ~ Mini Harlequin Template, Black Gesso and Forever Red Perfect Pearls Mist.

'cause........ALL YOU NEED IS LOVE!!!

A card.......!!!

For this Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge, I went green!!

I pulled out a used Canvas Corp canvas. I painted on some Black Gesso. Spritzed the edges with Aged Mahogany Distress Reinker Mixture. Using Multi Medium I adhered down a piece of Tissue Wrap.

From a piece cardboard, I cut a Mini Birdcage, torn off a layer and brushed on some Tarnished Brass Crackle Paint.

I used some of my left over "water" creations, embossed with Swiss Dots and die cut the heart. The heart was then spritzed with an Aged Mahogany Distress Reinker and Forever Red Perfect Pearls Mist.

The finishing details were the LOVE Adage Ticket, Ruler Ribbon and Fired Brick Distress Stickles. 

So........whatcha gonna create??

I am excited and honored to be coming to you today with
my first Education Video for Swirlydoos!

This months technique kit has been an ABSOLUTE BLAST to play with.
When I found out what was in the kit......
I began playing at home with like products and created this little ditty.... 

and then my kit arrived with one of Tim's District Market Canvases.....

I have to admit it was hard to create on the canvas as it is AMAZING by itself!!
but the creative juices began to flow!
The Bo~Bunny Snowfall collection is ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

Here is the canvas I created......
