Unity Friends with Flair Friday

Wow, today really flew by for me!

I took the day off from work 

thinking I would finish some

projects and clean house.

Instead, I have worked on my project

for Unity's Friends with Flair throughout the day.

While checking out all of the inspiration

posted for FWF I came across Mandi's

adorable calendar wall hanging.

This was my inspiration for the 

altered calendar canvas that 

I created using Unity's

....trust the creator.

I started with a burlap canvas that was in my stash.

The sweet Phyllis Harris image was stamped on dictionary paper

and colored with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

I applied acrylic paint directly to the burlap 

then a layer of Mod Podge to adhere

the paper.  The sentiment was stamped on

a Kraft pocket and a 2015 calendar adhered.

I added miscellaneous lace, twine ribbon, pearls, a star pin and tiny

cones that I picked and dried while hiking

in the mountains around Alaska.

I would also like to share my project with the following:
Word Art Wednesday:  Challenge  #163 Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday:  Anything Goes

Mixed Media Month Challenge #7: Tic Tac Toe

Art Impressions Challenge #149 - Feeling Frosty

Art Impressions is embracing the winter

this week with a "Feeling Frosty" challenge.

Although we don't have penguins in Alaska,

I thought Penguin Pete (Sku G3060)

would work perfectly for a frosty card.

The stamp was embossed with CTMH Black embossing powder

and colored with Copic marker then fussy cut.

The snowy background was created using the Country Landscape die

from Memory Box.  I tore a couple of strips from white cardstock

then applied Stickles to the edge for snowy shimmer and dimension.

Finally, I applied a line of glue to the edge of the base panel

and sprinkled on Barbara Trombley's Art Glitter Faux Snow.

I really like how this frosty card turned out!

Unity Friends with Flair

I can't believe it's Friday already!

This week I'm sharing a sweet 

clean and simple card with

Unity's Friends With Flair

featuring a Phyllis Harris image

Brandy and Emma:  Good morning

I colored this sweet image during a summer camping trip.

I've struggled with the presentation and concluded

that the adorable image should shine in this clean

and simple design.

The fun sentiment is from American Art Stamp 

and has been in my stash for awhile.

For those of us who are dog owners

this is such a true statement!
