DT: Spring Burlap Pannel

Hi Scrappers,

This is Veronica from www.vickyscrappingpassion.blogspot.com  sharing with you a burlap panel I made using the indian-blanket-cling-stamp and the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set sentiment

I used:

The indian-blanket-cling-stamp and the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set sentiment, PWP

	Indian Blanket stamp set, PWP
	the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set sentiment
	Burlap Panel, TH, Ranger
	Distress Crayons, TH, Ranger
	ModPodge
	Water Brush, TH, Ranger
	Stencil, Michael
	Gold Chalk Marker
	Archival ink, Ranger
	white tissue paper  See my SnapGuide here, for steps by steps. In short, I stamped the Indian Blanket image using archival ink on tissue paper. I diluted some distress crayons with ModPodge instead of water and added to the burlap panel using a stencil for a colorful background. Then, I diluted some golden chalk also with ModPodge and added a faint border around the panel. When it was died, I added the stamped tissue paper to the panel using ModPodge and let it dry. Finally, colored the stamped image using the diluted crayons with ModPodge and a brush. To finish the look, I used a previously stamped specialty paper with the wildflowers sentiment and inked the edges of the fussy cut paper with golden chalk. I attached the sentiment to the panel using 3D zots.

Some closer looks:

I hope you enjoyed my burlap panel and visit my blog:  www.vickyscrappingpassion.blogspot.com.

Mixed Media Monday - Burlap Canvas

Hello crafters!

This is Zoey and I am super happy to be with you for this month as Guest Designer!!
For those who do not know me, I am a mixed media artist that lives in a small town near Bologna (Italy) who thinks she is a dinosaurus in disguise. (LOL)

For my project today I will use products from the For the Birds Nesting Components Mixed Media Kit . The kit comes with a Clear Stamp of choice and I choose the Bird Panel Clear Stamp Set.
For the complete list of materials I used, make sure to check the list at the bottom of the post.

I covered my burlap canvas with some gesso and some pages from an old book, then I added some color with the Gelatos- Steam Punk.

After that, I grabbed the 12x12 stencil that is included in the Kit and I traced one of the birds and to do that I used a black watercolored pencil.

In the kit, there were also included some flower - sadly they didn't match my project so I decided to use again the Gelatos- Steam Punk and color it so it would match my whole project!

For the sentiment I just stamped that beautiful quote on the Bird Panel Clear Stamp Set over a white cardstock (that I lightly colored with...again...Gelatos- Steam Punk) and then cut it in pieces to create some movement. This is the project I made -- what do you think? 

I really like the outcome and do you see that girl in the image? No it is not me, although I wish I had such a cool photo with a bird, but it is an image I cut out from the sheet of Clip art included in the kit.

I love Clip Arts and you if you didn't already you should check out the entire shop section for that!

Here is a detail , I love to use the stencil with a watercolor pencil especially with this one , the bird also seems like is sitting on the group of flowers!

I just can't get over how much I love that cute clip art!

...and here is the whole panel from the two sides perspective

I hope you will find this creation I did as inspiration - I had so much fun playing with the For the Birds Nesting Components Mixed Media - if you want to see more from this kit you can check out Dana's post right here where she created a really awesome scrapbooking layout or the one by Carrie here! As you can see, this kit is really versatile!

Do not forget that our September challange is still going on, the theme is "use twine or ribbon".

That is all for now, stay happy stay creative!

Till next time, xoxo!

When Angels Are Near: Bird Cage Assemblage

*****To Join our July Challenge: Click Here*****

Happy Monday Everyone, Norma here with you today!!

Today I have a sweet little bird cage assemblage piece to share with you.  This project is very simple to create and I LOVE the way it turned out.

For this project I'm using the NEW Bird Beauty stamp set along with bits and pieces from my handy dandy scrap pile :D

I embossed all of the stamped images with black Super Fine Detail embossing powder.  Then I spritzed the bird's nest with Lindy's and inked the edges.  The base is just an empty ribbon spool (I don't like anything to go to waste around here, lol).  I used my Exacto knife to cut a slit for the paper to go into. 

This bird is embossed with the same black embossing powder and inserted into the spool the same way.

To create the bird cage I used 20 gauge wire, wire cutters, the rim of a mason jar and hot glue.  I simply cut the wire into strips, wrapped them around each other on the top to create a dome and hot glued the ends inside the rim.  Next I glued the ribbon spool to the mason jar rim.

To keep with the feathered theme, I added beautiful feathered wings from the craft store.

I found the perfect hanger in my stash of findings.  The beautiful blue gemmed piece came from a local thrift store.  I think it may have been on a chandelier at some point.

I added cream colored glittered tulle to soften the edges of the wired bird cage.

An angel in near!!  

Thanks so much for joining me today and be sure to check out Erica's gorgeous projects: Accordion Mini Album & Scrapbook Saturday.  Have a beautiful day :D

I Must Be A Mermaid - Mixed Media Monday

Hello PWP Peeps, Norma here with you today for Mixed Media Monday!!

I thought I'd have a little more fun with this month's Nesting Components kit so I created this gorgeous (if I do say so myself, lol) canvas.

To create this 9x12 canvas, I used a sheet of palette paper, the July Nesting Components kit, Sea Melange stamp set, fabric remnants and the newly released Be Not Afraid stamp set.

The Sea Melange set can also be purchased in smaller sets just like the Seaside stamp set that is included in the July Nesting Components kit.  These sets can easily be found on the new website by simply shopping by theme and clicking on Oceans and Mermaids.

I started out by adhering this beautifully stained sheet of palette paper.  This page is just layers and layers of paint, inks and Pearl-Ex from various projects.  So don't throw those sheets away, they can be used in your next masterpiece and half of the work has already been done for you.  I glued it down using Golden Heavy Duty Matte Medium.  You could you regular matte medium, modge podge or your favorite adhesive.  Next I applied a light layer of modge podge on top to seal in all those beautiful colors.  

I randomly stamped some fish and a mermaid to the background for even more texture and background interest.

    

I'm all about upcycling materials so when I was ready to begin layering, I grabbed my scrap bin and found more produce netting.  Next I used a linen napkin that I picked up at an estate sale and stamped the sentiment from the Sea Cling Stamp set.  The quote says:  

She stood in the storm and when the wind did not blow her away, she adjusted her sails.

Then on top of that went the Luxe Circles from the July kit.

I used the the beautiful little girl from the July kit's clip art sheet and matted the image with cream colored burlap.  I also inked the edges of the clip art with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink.

Since you can never have too much texture, I used a torn piece of muslin for the sentiment.  This wonderful sentiment is part of the newly released stamps.  It says:

I must be a mermaid, I have no fear of depths and a great fear of shallow living.

Great sentiment right?!

I rubbed some of the rubons from the July kit here and there.

Then to finish things off, I added some of the gorgeous hand dyed trim, some more burlap and a couple of Recollections roses.

THANKS so much for joining me today, I hope I've inspired you to upcycle some items that you might not have not thought of using in your projects before.  

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL DAY & HAPPY CREATING!!
