Shabby Little Tags

Hi everyone!  Happy Friday.  Today I want to share with you a little tag I made for a challenge over on Facebook.

In order to make this tag I used lots of Tim Holtz Distress Inks on a manilla tag over a bit of embossing done with my trusty Sizzix Machine.

I layered a Prima Paintables ATC card that I colored with water color pencils as well as a few sticker and wood letters also from Prima.   

A few leaves and flowers that I colored with some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and a few butterflies I created using ModMelts painted with my favorite Ann Butler Earth Safe Finishes Irridescent Glaze. Finally, a bit of seam binding, also dyed with a bit of Lindys.

This project really was so fun to make.

Have a great weekend.  Hugs.

Mixed Media Flowers - Your Memories Here

Hi everyone, Today I want to share with you a mixed media canvas I made using flowers from my Prima Grab Bag.  I grabbed four of these 6x6 canvases at the craft store and am looking forward to making a series of these in different colors.

I love the variety of flowers that come in these bags.  I also added bits of Prima trim, bits of bling.  I began by covering the canvas with scraps of Lyric and Almanac papers covered in gesso.   I then  used a bit of texture paste and a favorite stencil to create the layered effect.  Splatters and sprays of mists, followed by lots of flowers and canvas pieces, bits of trims and bling completed this piece.  I love the variety of flowers that come in the Prima Grab Bags from Your Memories Here.  I am working on making a video of how I created this canvas using a different color scheme and hope to have it ready for you soon.

Hugs.

Today I want to share an exploding box I made with some gorgeous goodies from the Hydrangea Hippo etsy store.  I knew as soon as I saw these cute little ballerinas in the store I just had to have them, especially after all the years of ballet the girls have taken.

And I love the little sprays, and the beads, and the roses, and the.....oh goodness, this was such a fun project to make.

I know Mackenzie will enjoy looking at the little photos from her years of dance.

Well...hope you have a great weekend.
