Fun Friday with LBBS!

For Fun Friday this week I got to play with Mixed Media Peony - I mdd this 8x8 canvas in a mixed media style. 

The canvas was sprayed with Heidi Swap colour shine using a Prima stencil from my stash.  Then I just added a doily and some flowers to surround her and my saying in the bottom right hand corner.

Check out my youtube channel for a closer look.

If you would like to get your hands on some of these super cute digi images or even some Rubber stamps please check out the Little Blue Buttons store.  And to see the other wonderful projects from the other design team members please head on over to the LBBS Blog.

Happy Papercrafting!

Canvas Sign for Not2Shabby

So, today I was playing around with my only Magnolia stamp - Here I am Tilda.  She is super cute, I love the way she is peeking around the corner, so I decided to put her on a sign and have her peeking around a frame.

To get your own Magnolia stamps and more head over to Not2Shabby on Zibbet.

I used a canvas mini album page from Michaels $1.50 bin and put some texture past on with a Crafters Workshop stencil - Mini Specimens.  I then sprayed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang - Alpine Ice Rose and Milk Chocolate Brown.  The edges are inked with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I just love how it turned out - so pretty.  Check out my youtube channel for some close ups and further details on the items used.  Below are the Copics used to colour in Tilda.

Little Blue Button Stamps - September Digi Release Today!

Today is release day for Little Blue Button Digi Stamps, and I am so excited to say that I am a member of the new Digi Design Team =)  Yah me!!

For this release I got the chance to play with the new digi stamp called Mixed Media - it is so cool, I decided to make a mixed media canvas.  I printed the digi out on some patterned paper and then coloured it up with my Copic Markers.  I printed a couple extra images of the flower that is in her hair so that I could colour them and shape them.  I layered it with hot glue to make a 3D flower in her hair and added some other flowers from Petaloo and Recollections all around. 

In each of the clusters I added some metal gears and embellishments and some mini dominoes and mini light bulbs.  

Here is the flower from the image that I made 3D and added some stamen coming from the bottom. 

In this close up you can see the sparkle and shine from the Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays that I used on the background.  I started with an empty canvas and used a couple different stencils with some home made texture paste - really love how it turned out, the texture past soaked in the brown colours from the sprays and the purple and blue mica stayed around all the edges - so beautiful.

Check out my youtube channel for a close up look of the canvas.  

And definitely check out LBBS  to pick up your own digi's, and check out the blog for other DT members projects.

Mixed Media Canvas

 I've always looked at the mixed media canvas' on the Internet and admired them.  I kept thinking that must be so hard - I don't think I could do that.  But...Madison got an easel and painting supplies for Christmas and is really into painting right now so I thought that we would give it a try. 

I bought a value package of 12x12 canvas' as Michaels this morning (yah boxing day).  This is my

first try.  I have to say that I really like it.  PS please ignore that boxes in the background - remember dark basement as craft room :-)

Here is Madison's creation.  She really enjoyed herself and seemed to want to add one of everything from her stash of supplies.  I really love it!  The best part part and most fun was stamping with bubble wrap.

We'll definitely have to give this a try again.
Happy Stamping!
