Oh, hello!

I had not realized how long it had been since I had done some just for the fun of it crafting.  So I got this new little vintage paper pad today and thought I would play along with the ReverseConfetti challenge.  I have been having a good time with their challenges, colors and sketches!  I only have 1 of their sets and one die but plan on getting some more soon: they are also having a fabulous release right now! 

Queen Ann's Canvas

 Hello everyone!  So today's project is a canvas I made for Gina's Designs and I used the Lace Flowers for this one.  To start the project I used the honeycomb grid to put some medium randomly on the canvas.  I then painted the entire canvas with a light gray paint: going back to add a little mustard to the medium spots (now these areas dried within an hour or two).  I painted the lace flowers with paint and then I used some medium to give it a little depth along with some glitter.  

Here is a little closer picture of the flowers.  I have them lifted off the page to give the entire canvas some depth.  The glitter is actually very fine and all over the entire canvas which looks so pretty although you can not get a good photo of this.

Take Note

Just could not resist another doing another card for the Reverse Confetti challenge that is going on right now!  I thought I would have a little more fun with the arrows set (which I bought for project life).

Valentine Box

 Hello!  I had to share one more Valentine Project that I did for Gina's Designs.  This is my valentine box- used to collect valentine's at work.  It is actually a tangerine crate that I covered with white paper and then pink heart embossed paper.  Then I used a variety of the Gina's Designs Valentine chippies.  

On the far left I have used a little pink heart and another white heart from the Cupid Shape Set. On the front of the box is a solid heart and then a white double heart(Valentine Shape Set).  All my chippies were painted with spray paint. 

Then there is the little cherub, painted white and he is shooting hearts that I painted in varigated pink and red paints.  In the background you can see the two pink/white straws holding up the all loving doily with a couple more hearts.   This was definitely a hit!

A Reverse Color Challenge

Hello everyone- Happy Friday!  

So this week has been a little busy and I have had little time to create, just feeling hanging out in the evenings and watching the Olympics.  So tonight I thought I would check out what was going on over at Reverse Confetti and low and behold a new color challenge for me to try.  And boy do I love these colors!  

I have been trying to come up with some fun little twists for my simple cards and thought these little arrows from the Reverse Confetti set would be cute with the offset frame and the star.  I just adore this little sentiment... so simple and versatile.  

Enjoy your weekend my friends!

Love Wall Art

Hello-  Here is a little wall art from Gina's Designs.  The actual kit comes with the chipboard square that I covered with Valentine papers, the corrugated board  and then the letters L O V E. I used the swans from the Cupid set as the hanger at the top!  

I painted the letters with a deep red paint and then left everything else natural!   Adding a few bits and pieces from the Valentine Sets that Gina has along with the ever so lovely doilies!

FSFYTT #2

Ok-....... so I had to make another card with my papers for the Reverse Confetti FSFYTT.  I have been trying to be better about using my papers up when I break into the sheets, otherwise my scrap bin gets bigger and bigger and never gets used.
