Be Mine Canvas

Hi everyone! I hope you're surviving the dreadful cold! I can't wait until spring. I have been trying my hand with canvas' lately. I love working with canvas and getting my hands dirty. I used an 8x10 canvas, a brick stencil with modeling paste, Dylusions spray inks, Tattered Angels Glitter mist, Pan Pastels, and some flowers from Wild Orchid Craft. I am going to get a pic of me and my husband to fit in the middle. I just haven't made it to the photo center yet! :) So, as soon as, I thaw out from all this snow I will go get one printed off.

I hope you all have a Blessed day!

Journey

Hi everyone! I've missed you all very much! I haven't had time to sneak around and look at your amazing blogs for far toooo long! But hopefully I will soon.
I was able to whip this card together yesterday for my sister-in-law who is spending a year overseas serving in the Army. She has worked so hard, and is now a helicopter pilot! I hope she enjoys this card, and returns home to us safely.
I used the beautiful sketch over at Make it Monday with Kraft Outlet. I was low on time and creativity, so this sketch really helped me out! :)
Take care all, and Be Blessed!

Christmas Canvas

I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas! I was hoping to get this posted yesterday, but with traveling and my computer battery deciding to die it just didn't happen. :)

I made another canvas for my husband. I used the stamp from Wild Rose Studio called Baby Jesus. So again, I had an idea in my head for this canvas and 21 retries and re-do's later, this is how it turned out! I just got some pan pastels in a couple of weeks ago and really enjoyed playing around with them on this canvas.

I hope you enjoy my project! And I will hope that I get a new camera soon. The pictures just don't do the metallic pan pastels justice. They are so gorgeous!

Some close up pics!

 

Used the following:

Gesso, Modeling paste, Perfect Pearl mists, Pan Pastels, Copics, Chalk

Building A Snowman

Hello all! Merry Christmas! I hope you are able to enjoy a lovely peaceful day surrounded by loved ones!

I have a card to share with you for the new challenge up at the 7 Kids College Fund Challenge Blog! It's always Anything Goes so I hope you will join us! 

Sadly, this will be my last card with this amazing team! I have decided to take a break from card making and crafting to concentrate more on family. Thank you Tabitha, Karen, Kelly, Rhea, Colleen and all the fabby DT teamies for letting me be a part of your team! :)

I have used the beautiful stamp Building a Snowman from Wild Rose Studio. I colored these cuties with copics and added some fluff mixed with microfine glitter.  I spritzed the small doily with perfect pearl mist and added some snow to the farm fence die cut using a snowpen. The flowers are from I Am Roses and the lace and ribbon are from my stash. The frame was cut using the elegant edges cartridge by Cricut.

A Christmas Carol

Hi all! It's getting really close to Christmas now! I made this Christmas card for Crafty Ribbons Advent Inspirations! I hope you will have a chance to check it out and join in!

I made a small tutorial for the tree die cut. I first cut them out and stamped music notes on them. Then rubbed vintage photo and peeled paint on my mat. I spritzed with water and ran the trees through. I did it again to make my colors darker. The last pic is of the tattered florals die cut. I did the same process to make the flower except I used a script stamp and barn door distress ink.
