Friendship isn't a big thing....Frame

Hello everyone,
Yvonne here sharing a project with a framed Quietfire Design quote about how valuable Friendship is...
For my project I used the gorgeous Quietfire Design stamp "Friendship isn't a big thing".

The frame is really easy to make....let's get started!

First glue a piece of (distressed) patterned paper onto a square canvas.
Then stamp a sentiment upon white cardstock and then trim the cardstock to fit a little photo frame.
Make sure the stamepd quote is centered.
Adhere a strip of self-adhesive pearls into the frame and then glue the photo frame onto the canvas.
Die-cut some borders from gold cardstock and glue around the photo frame.
Adhere some mulberry flowers, leaves and stamens and finish the project by adding (handcut with scissors) washi tape -coins.
Voila...a special frame to give to a special friend!

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial and wish you happy crafting!

Hugs from Holland,
Yvonne

Embossing Paste w/ Powder Mini Canvas - Jewelry Words

Hello.  It's Wanda here today to share a mini canvas with you.  This little thing is only 2" square.

I painted the top and sides with acrylic paint applying it with my fingers.

I stamped hope onto plain Tissue Warp, tore it out.....  

and glued it to the canvas with Collage Medium.  I put some medium on the canvas, placed the word, then brushed the whole top of the canvas with the medium.

Before stenciling the butterflies with White Embossing Paste I used an anti-static bag generously over the entire top of the canvas.

I immediately poured Embossing Powder over the paste and tapped the excess off.  The powder sticks to the wet paste.

Allow the paste to dry and then use a heat tool to melt the embossing powder.  

Stencil dots on all four edges with purple ink and also dab ink onto all the corners and edges.

I hope you've enjoyed today's project!!!  It's a fun and easy project.  

Hugs, Wanda

If You Don't Believe in Miracles Burlap Canvas

Good Morning!!!!  Wanda here today to share a 4" x 6" burlap canvas I've created.  

I began by spraying Color Wash sprays (denim, sailboat blue, lettuce) onto the canvas.  While it was still damp, I scraped white embossing paste here and there, spreading it as flat as I could make it.  This was left to dry completely.  Next I added embossing paste through a stencil (Dreamweaver LJ907) in 3 areas and let it dry.  

The quote, If you don't believe in miracles, is stamped onto a square of torn natural muslin using Archival Ink jet black and dried.  I very lightly sprayed tumbled glass Distress Spray Stain over the square and dried it.  This square is attached with brads to a piece of Warm & Natural cotton batting cut with pinking scissors.  The next layer is a piece of corrugated packaging cut and torn to size.  Next is a piece from my scrap box that was left from THIS tutorial.  I cut the scrap to the size I wanted and even though it had paste, design and color on it already I ran it through an embossing folder (Elizabeth Craft Design 105 curvy leaves) and then used my finger to add a metallic rub (Treasure Gold) to help bring out the design.  I also rubbed some around the canvas edges.  I love that hint of metallic!!  These layers were attached to the canvas as shown.

I tore a strip of muslin, colored it with Distress Inks, wrapped it around the canvas and tied a double bow.  Over this I've glued a die cut flower (Elizabeth Craft Designs 964 Victorian Flower Set 1 and 965 Victorian Flower Overlay Set 1).  The flowers were cut from soft finish cardstock, color added with Distress Inks, and a brad to hold them together.  I had a left over leaf spray (Elizabeth Craft Designs 1034 Flourishes & Branches) already cut from manila cardstock.  I inked it with Distress Inks, cut it up, and glued on the pieces.  Finally I added a trinket pin, a mini paper clip, and a small heart embellishment.  The heart was colored with a drop of slate alcohol ink.

Garden Delights Mixed Media Canvas!

Good morning it’s Sherry here with you another day this week!  I’ve had this idea for a project using Garden Delights for some time and finally put it all together yesterday. 

The project started with a 6x6 piece of watercolor paper that was painted with acrylic paints.  Using Spellbinders Butterfly Garden Impressabilities as a stencil, Broken China Distress Ink Refill was misted over a portion of the paper.  In alternating corners a white mist was sprayed using a stencil die cut with Spellbinders Grateful Lattice.  A few acrylic paint splatters were added along with some gold from a gold leafing pen. 

The sentiment was stamped in black pigment ink and embossed with clear embossing powder.  Before adding anything else to the page, the edges were distressed with a pair of scissors and sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink. 

The flowers were made using a stencil die cut from chipboard using Spellbinders Jewel Flowers and Flourishes.  White embossing paste was added in varying heights and thickness and allowed to air dry.  Once dry, they were colored with Distress Inks in Wild Honey, Rusty Hinge, Seedless Preserves and Aged Mahogany.  The stems for the flowers were made using another stencil for a guide – faint pencil lines were drawn and then colored with Marine Green and Spanish Olive alcohol markers.

 
While working on the page, it struck me that I needed something to mount it on, since it was too big for a card.  I finally decided to mount the page on a 6x6 canvas which was painted black and then some gold accents were added to the edges.  The page was adhered to the canvas with 1.5” double-sided tape.

As the finishing touch, I found some vintage gold buttons in my stash that I used for the flower centers.

That’s it for me today . . . thanks for stopping by and joining me!
