Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Saturday: Moments Canvas

Happy Saturday all!  Hope you're all having a wonderful weekend!  Today, I have a fun canvas to share which I had made for my mom for Mother's Day last weekend!

Here it is...

I don't really have a chance to make layouts very often although I do love making them!  And of course they make fantastic gifts too!   For my project,  I started off with a blank white canvas which I painted with some Martha Stewart acrylic paint in "Sea Glass".  I added some Prima paper on top and distressed the edges along with the picture with my Tim Holtz distress tool.   Now the fun part is adding all the embellies.   I added some fabric trim, some Prima trinkets and lots of Wild Orchid Crafts flowers.   I think my favorite piece is the little cupid angel at the top corner! :)  I also used a couple of bottles of my Tattered Angels glimmer mist to splatter bits of color all over the layout.  It's a little hard to see in the photo but I thought it came out pretty cool!  

Here is the full supply list for my card:

Sunshine - Prima Marketing

Trinkets and Embellishments - Prima Marketing

Glimmer Mist - Tattered Angels

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Distress Tool - Tim Holtz

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts 

Sea Glass - Martha Stewart

Hope you enjoyed my project!   Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: A Sun Kissed Canvas

If you're looking for my post for The Greeting Farm July Preview Day #2, please go here!

Hi Friends!  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  I've been under the weather this week and have a few cards in the making but thought I'd share another canvas with you for my Loves Rubberstamps Inspiration Day.

Here it is...

This is one of my favorite pictures of my son, Ethan, taken a few years back!  I knew the minute I saw this picture, I wanted to do a layout of some sort with it.  I had some extra canvases so ended up altering one of them.  After coloring up the base with some sage green acrylic paint, I again kept it pretty simple since the papers I used are so pretty already.  This older paper collection is from  Prima called "Sunkiss" and is still one of my favorites.   I embellished my canvas with goodies in my stash including some burlap, a small wooden chipboard frame from Michaels, some Wild Orchid Crafts flowers and a Tim Holtz ticket stub which says "Adore".  On my roses,  I also added a bit of gold stickles around the edges to tie in with the colors and give them more sparkle!   I was out of my sculpting paste but may add a little bit of stenciling later since I love that mixed media look. 

Here are the Supplies Used:

Sunkiss - Prima

Wild Orchid Craft flowers

Tim Holtz embellishment

Pumice Stone - Tim Holtz Distress Ink

Mono Multi Liquid Glue - Tombow

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used in my project!  Tomorrow we have the "Sensational Blog Hop" so be sure to come back to visit!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Loves Rubberstamps Saturday Inspiration: A Father's Day Canvas!

Hello, It's Inspiration Day for me over at Loves Rubberstamps and  I wanted to share a canvas project I made for a Father's Day present to my dad.

Here it is...

I felt like it had been so long since I had made anything other than cards so I was so excited to take the opportunity to make my dad a canvas project for Father's Day.  I always love making these as special gifts or keepsakes.  This picture was taken in front of the Golden Gate Bridge and my dad is carrying my son, Ethan.  My dad is retired and is Ethan favorite baby sitter! :)   They do spend a lot of time together and I knew he would love this gift!  I kept it pretty simple and a little more masculine.  I did load it up with lots of Prima including the papers which are from the "Seashore" collection.  I also added some of these cool bark butterflies, some wood pieces and a small typo bulb which says "Us".   I also have a metal token from Tim Holtz.  The flowers I added are from Wild Orchid Crafts and Recollections.  I did add a touch of mix media by stenciling with some medium sculpting paste mixed in with some distress paints.

Here are the Supplies Used:

Seashore - Prima

Bark Butterflies, wood pieces, small typo bulb - Prima

Wild Orchid Craft flowers

Tim Holtz embellishment

Be sure to stop by the Loves Rubberstamps store to see the items used in my project and to check out all of the cool Prima goodies there!  

Have a wonderful weekend!

Loves Rubberstamps "Tuesday Challenge" featuring "Prima Doll with Swing Dress" canvas

Hello and welcome to the Loves Rubberstamps Tuesday Challenge! Hope everyone is having a great week.  Can you believe it is November already?  Time is just flying so fast!!!

So  this week is the favorite "Anything Goes"!!!

Our wonderful sponsor for this week's challenge is The Cutting Cafe!!

  

Here is my project...

I decided to make a canvas using another Prima doll called Prima Doll with Swing Dress.  I thought this doll was so glamorous looking so I decided to give her a lot of pink and sparkle.  I also went for a mixed media arts look with this canvas.  I colored up my doll using the Copic Marker Color Fusion Trio 2 Sketch markers set.  I then pretty much added a bunch of flowers and embellishments which I gesso'd and then sprayed over with various pink shades using my Tattered Angels glimmer mists.  I also did a lilttle bit of stenciling in the background.  I think I needed to spend more time drying in between which would have probably made some of the art mediums such as the sculpting paste stand out a little more.  But I guess it's sometimes the impatient side of me that wants to get to the finished creation fast! LOL  I'm still learning this technique too so the more I practice will help me get used to using these products. Anyways, for the most part, I'm pretty happy with the way it turned out. I do love the Prima Light bulb "Sweet" which is from the Prima Junkyard Findings.  These trinkets are so much fun to use in projects.  The sentiment "Dream" is also from a Prima Stamp set.

Other supplies used on my project:

Blush-My Mind's Eye

Mono Multi-Liquid Glue-Tombow

Black Tuxedo-Memento Ink

Flowers-Wild Orchid Crafts
