I have an idea that I want to add a nest with eggs but what kind of flowers? I couldn't find flowers to go with the look of the flowers on the front of the tin planter, so I decided to make my own. I looked through pictures of real flowers and found a yellow Iris. I draw out a pattern on paper and then run it through my Scan-N-Cut so I could save and cut more when needed. Pulled out my new Distress Crayons that I had not tried out yet. Love the way they work like watercolors.<br />

Using a stylist I worked the petals into shape and added leaves. I love creating realistic things from paper.<br />

I start with a jar and cork lid, mod podge and tissue paper. Then I used a combination of sprays inks that match the flowers I will be adding. Oh the mix media yumminess! Just a touch of Glass Glitter on the top and bottom and you have the base to start adding flowers and twine at the top. </div>

I want to add flowers and pretty things to my work and those are not always the items you should add to a "Manly" project. So when I saw Emma Williams latest creation ... <span style="background-color: white; color: #7c7c7c; font-family: "Times New Roman", Times, FreeSerif, serif; font-size: 18px;"><a href="http://stickydots.blogspot.com/2017/02/take-scenic-route.html" target="_blank">Take The Scenic Route</a> , </span>it sparked my desire to go back to a style that I enjoy the most, "vintage rusty goodness" as I call it. I didn't have the same products that Emma use to create her background technique, so my canvas looks a bit different from hers but I like way it came out. Also my card base was a lot smaller then Emma's to start with which was a challenge as well. I needed a card the would fit the envelope I had (5"x7") and could be mailed off, so no extra layers of materials or popping items up. <div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
To start on the canvas background, I took white paint, blue paint and water to create some what the same look as Emma's. Added the Distress Spray Stains splatters and a touch of black Gesso. Sorry for the lighting of this photo, totally forgot to turn on my flash. </div>

I really liked the way she layered this canvas on to the card with different colors of card stock and adding string. Here's how mine looks. I added a couple of Distress Powders, vintage photo and broken china with embossing ink and heat set it to get the idea of rusty edges. </div>

Hi my friends, It's been awhile hasn't it. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a look at a canvas that I made as a gift for my sweet Dad's Birthday. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was playing around with colors and textures for a background on this</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
12" x 12"canvas. I try to use products that I have on hand to create with. Gesso, paints, Distress sprays stains, chalk paint, crackle medium, and some of my favorite masks I begin layering. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
First with paints I covered the canvas in random spots. These colors will peek through the crackle. I found that using flat paints often times crackle better. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEO9HosGHT1By9kfVmgXO5wldhKkCGAwDc4RIBmQ51LJbl00JZJYkwNGx9H0bPBVyAqi81hhSSPqTzlim401i838SJZjDqsLMVoSmTDYYZSfzXH9iNaP2vQ1KsdfyROhNy1z3ozfuRZ-Yp/s1600/IMG_3916.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiEO9HosGHT1By9kfVmgXO5wldhKkCGAwDc4RIBmQ51LJbl00JZJYkwNGx9H0bPBVyAqi81hhSSPqTzlim401i838SJZjDqsLMVoSmTDYYZSfzXH9iNaP2vQ1KsdfyROhNy1z3ozfuRZ-Yp/s320/IMG_3916.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I added the crackle medium and let it dry to the tacky stage before adding the chalk paint on top. Love the way chalk paint crackles!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDlRxAaiOG0q7puDlKLSIA6ZH4pyhIFK6v4y6W5U8geeDGyBkKVvfX9rbJmLClkJtR8VdopJTeY7RNkTSG-BRFkzXk-3db8hgUHPT1Nnyp6HJGKlFOuMmQcfEHbweRNFFIXF6XAY42j642/s1600/IMG_3919.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjDlRxAaiOG0q7puDlKLSIA6ZH4pyhIFK6v4y6W5U8geeDGyBkKVvfX9rbJmLClkJtR8VdopJTeY7RNkTSG-BRFkzXk-3db8hgUHPT1Nnyp6HJGKlFOuMmQcfEHbweRNFFIXF6XAY42j642/s320/IMG_3919.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To tone it down just a bit more after the crackle layers and chalk paint dries, I add a soft layer of Gesso. It also adds a little more texture. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVRw5Nc1umZPX901-Hn2fnRaxnS5L6x0L5JRpOcRuBuCVTzApF4FiigvlUVNcM87tYt4RJqPZ7_ZBQXzJXVo7IgrWbdjndfWpbZC1MYGsffzbjwxvy95I2rmmNeUAeckXmurzq9ezG3czH/s1600/IMG_3920.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVRw5Nc1umZPX901-Hn2fnRaxnS5L6x0L5JRpOcRuBuCVTzApF4FiigvlUVNcM87tYt4RJqPZ7_ZBQXzJXVo7IgrWbdjndfWpbZC1MYGsffzbjwxvy95I2rmmNeUAeckXmurzq9ezG3czH/s320/IMG_3920.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now to add more color, Distress Spray Stain in Tea dye and Peacock Feathers. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG9XDP5rPoxjuZ5vA9XH5AJjVyjy4_Srg2XJt-tSynY4Nrg93PLKcvo1X_xgm7IXzqaRTy_kNk5OBCTMfy_3W2cKuoW_AJ8d0fCOHYlnDaOOce79YCZSBzUvuhdPwjV77KNFuE0Wf8LZ1_/s1600/IMG_3944.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgG9XDP5rPoxjuZ5vA9XH5AJjVyjy4_Srg2XJt-tSynY4Nrg93PLKcvo1X_xgm7IXzqaRTy_kNk5OBCTMfy_3W2cKuoW_AJ8d0fCOHYlnDaOOce79YCZSBzUvuhdPwjV77KNFuE0Wf8LZ1_/s320/IMG_3944.JPG" width="214" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I grabbed a couple masks and Gesso I add that yummy texture. Also a few pieces of tissue tape were added. Black circles place on using the cap from the distress stain dipped in the black paint adds a touch of contrast. Only need to add pictures, a title and of course flowers. Project just don't look finished to me unless I add flowers. </div>

Today I want to share with you a gift I made for my wonderful friend Becky who is having a baby girl soon. Her hubby and she have chosen a beautiful name for this sweet new life, Avaya.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB6vQz5_U21frYSCGM9GOkUT5-eeHn3y-TtnQe3kx8UBInnTeXOhHfn05P8xp-gxibN2RtB4jjlJFImGD6pNmjIl6UM7d7-ppRbiXZ2U40Q3crjcp2o2lweQA8cka1Otk4ysyG0_EUZcTg/s1600/IMG_1269+-+Copy+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="290" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiB6vQz5_U21frYSCGM9GOkUT5-eeHn3y-TtnQe3kx8UBInnTeXOhHfn05P8xp-gxibN2RtB4jjlJFImGD6pNmjIl6UM7d7-ppRbiXZ2U40Q3crjcp2o2lweQA8cka1Otk4ysyG0_EUZcTg/s320/IMG_1269+-+Copy+%25282%2529.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>

I started with a 10 in x 8 in canvas, added spray stains and splatters for a soft back ground. With lace, flowers, flat back pearls, shimmer tiny hearts and a fine sprinkle of pink Art Sugars from Prima all over, the canvas started coming alive. Now look inside the arrangement of flowers and you will see a tiny little angle peeking out.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLy59cVdYPEPkNycfEwJaA1WEgntqYjOdWGcwPKgC13pfKR98EKiglf5M-Ml1_u4oT6sb_Qc78SVflzXavKXf6jGQHjVSxXR7ItV_LTqHSBKwuTbT2O6q8MJi0xM6TfFhrEVAqLZ38gZ2B/s1600/this+one.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLy59cVdYPEPkNycfEwJaA1WEgntqYjOdWGcwPKgC13pfKR98EKiglf5M-Ml1_u4oT6sb_Qc78SVflzXavKXf6jGQHjVSxXR7ItV_LTqHSBKwuTbT2O6q8MJi0xM6TfFhrEVAqLZ38gZ2B/s320/this+one.JPG" width="220" /></a></div>
I added a small Prima resin frame I pop dotted up so Becky could add Avaya's pictures in it and of course her name adorns the canvas. <br />

I found a frame that the canvas fit in but the oak finish just wasn't the look I was going for so I painted and crackle it to match the tiny frame inside.<br />

I found this wonderful idea on Pinterest. The company Gypsy Soul Laser Cuts sells these beautiful chipboard Fairies. I was intrigued by the idea of making a few captured Fairy jars of my own once I saw how they were put together. </div>

I took my Emboss it Dabber and Melt Art in black to create almost an enamel look to the Fairies. This helps them hold up to being glued to the inside of the jar. I did emboss both sides of the Fairies. </div>

Using a clear small jar I then used Mod Podge to glued tissue paper to it. Next placing the Fairy inside and adding Glass Glitter around the edges. </div>

With ink sprays I splattered and dripped them down the sides of the jar. Used a stamp to add more layers. I then picked out flowers that matched the sprays I used and placed them on the jar too. A bit of jute twine around the neck of the jar and a quick spray of color to the cork lid and I was done..... Oh and placing a tea light inside to get a peek at the captured Fairy.</div>

I have this wonderful friend named Kim Norman who was having a birthday and her daughters wanted to surprise her with a special gift. They asked Kim's friend if we could make small gifts that they could put on a collage that they were putting together for Kim. What sweet daughters! Of course I was happy to add something to it. </div>

Love is in the air for this Valentine's Day. I thought this project was appropriate for the occasion. I ordered a February kit form <a href="http://www.flyingunicornstore.com/" target="_blank">The Flying Unicorn Store</a> that came with lots of beautiful items and this wonderful wooden letter set. </div>

I used the browns and light blue papers from the kit because those colors go well in my living room. I plan to place a photo behind the "O" frame to display. I began by using a few of my own supplies most of which can be found in my <a href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/home/MooreArtFromTheHeart" target="_blank">online Artfire Store, Moore Art From The Heart</a>.... <a href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/MooreArtFromTheHeart/11108536/pre-order_copper_micro_beads_art_ingredients_by_prima_/indie_supplies/craft_supplies/mixed_media" target="_blank">Prima Art Ingredients Micro Beads in Copper</a>, Distress ink Vintage Photo, <a href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/MooreArtFromTheHeart/10591923/distress_embossing_powder_-_vintage_photo/indie_supplies/craft_supplies/mixed_media" target="_blank">Distress embossing powder in Vintage Photo</a> , Distress embossing powder in faded jeans, and <a href="https://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/product_view/MooreArtFromTheHeart/9143370/emboss_it_dabber_1oz_bottle/indie_supplies/craft_supplies/stamps/other" target="_blank">Ranger Emboss it Dabber</a>.</div>

I started with a large 8 inch wooden spool I picked up in an antique store. Added dried grass beneath the nest along with twigs from my garden, rusty stars and soft feathers. Tied string around the spool to hold the tag. It sit upon a painted paper doily. With more feathers and a small bird cage charm my creation was finished.</div>

Hi to all my blog Friends. I've been a bit busy over the last 6 months and wasn't getting much craft time in. I'm so happy to say<i> I'm back</i>. I missed visiting with all my crafty friends and sharing what we create. I missed dipping my fingers in inks and paints, sorting through papers and flowers for that prefect look. Scrapbooking has always been an outlet that has fed my soul and I'm loving the time I now have to get back into filling that void.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let me start with sharing this card I've made. It's winter here in the Northwest and raining quite often which makes me long for warmer Spring days. I've pulled out a box of goodies collected over the years of little feathered birds, tiny plastic eggs, moss in 6 different types, twigs from my garden, leaves from the trees and many found feathers. These say "Spring" to me.</div>

Using ink spray from Ranger in Festive Berries, Worn Lipstick, Picket Fence and one of my favorite Prima stamps with Butterflies I created the background. I added Prima flowers and two of those tiny plastic speckled eggs, along with a white fluffy feather. I then took a chipboard oval and covered in with paper and added the words "Enjoy Life", which is a wonderful saying to remember daily.</div>

Please leave me a comment on what you look forward to in the Spring time.</div>

Many hugs to you my friends,</div>

<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">May has finally arrived and so has the challenge for <a href="http://ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com/2015/05/april-showers-bring-may-flowers.html" target="_blank">Our Creative Corner</a>. My Design Team member Shari Trumbull has come up with
a wonderful challenge for you this month.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">...Or so the
proverb goes. Spring comes late in my
neck of the world, in the mountains of Northern Idaho. In the month of May (with Summer just weeks
away), our Spring flowers are still, usually, under a thin blanket of snow,
until those Spring rains wash it all away. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 16.0pt; line-height: 107%;">This month,
the challenge is to create something, a mixed-media project, a journal page, a
scrapbook page, a card or tag...Anything, that reflects the Spring rains and/or
Spring flowers in your part of the world.
<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

The project she did was just what we were looking for.<br />
My 4 year old Grandson Brahm said he wanted to use fingerpaint and his fingers to create his. Crystal and I decided to follow along in the same process Claudia used.<br />
Pop over to the blog the OCC and see for yourself how inspiring Claudia's idea is.<br />

I love the warm sunny days that come with Spring. They're always so welcome after many months of cold and rainy days. So my first thought for the canvas was to add a feeling of sunshine. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizylRnFyi0IQX16psGDL8uYyoPc4lMePXW9puI717BCYSlqAJXS7fu204hqXRqwZTS1CAl7xV1wJmKTuCyzgYCtGRBGMLHWcpUrHbSh2bfxr0m_qgCJ3-K4rKj4aEeWuyY5v6rjkUFBaT-/s1600/DSCF0882+-+Copy.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizylRnFyi0IQX16psGDL8uYyoPc4lMePXW9puI717BCYSlqAJXS7fu204hqXRqwZTS1CAl7xV1wJmKTuCyzgYCtGRBGMLHWcpUrHbSh2bfxr0m_qgCJ3-K4rKj4aEeWuyY5v6rjkUFBaT-/s1600/DSCF0882+-+Copy.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Staring with an 8 x 10 canvas, I added a coat of Gesso and a mask from TCW called Butterflies to add one more layer of texture. Using Distress Sprays from Ranger, the hues of yellow sunshine came alive on the canvas. Now for more colors in my world, greens and splashes of pink.</div>

challenge this month.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
Candice is leaving the challenge open to your interpretation
of what constitutes “Junk” <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It may mean a set of hideously patterned china that you want
to smash up and a make a mosaic...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It may mean reams of patterned paper you have lying around
that you turn into a collage masterpiece...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It may mean doing something with skeins of wool that you
intended to make a a sweater with...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
It may mean doing something with rusty keys, nuts and bolts and
random pieces of wire that you pick up off the street...<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
You can create
whatever you want to, however you want to and with whatever you want to.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
The only rules are that your project MUST contain something
that you consider Junk that you have reclaimed or recycled.<o:p></o:p></div>

This challenge inspired the gift I put together for my Dad's birthday. I love altering and repurposing items. For my project I pulled out a few junk items to work with, old book papers, cardboard and maybe a little something unexpected, egg shells. </div>

I adhered the book paper down with Prima Soft Gel to the metal plate. With inks and sprays it was transformed into a vintage styled background for the embellishments and old picture that was added. </div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">For my project I choose "Paint, Stamps and Stencils" I've want for some time now to start making Journal covers for a few gifts to give. This cover is of my daughter and sweet grandson. I've recently discovered 3D Gel mediums from Prima and this challenge inspired me to give the transparent gel a try with the stencil and mixing it with paint. I am loving the look of it! A lot of the products I used here can be found in <a href="http://www.artfire.com/ext/shop/home/MooreArtFromTheHeart" target="_blank">my online Artfire Store</a> with a link below.</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"> I started with an 8"x10" piece of chipboard that I painted with gesso. I then used strips of paper from the Romance Nouel collections which I adhered down with the 3D gloss gel medium, another great use for this gel. I then began adding my Distress spray stains. Once they were dry then came gesso with one stencil and 3D gel with the other. (these next pictures are from the tutorial I did)</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Using light blue paint mixed with 3D gel and my fingers I applied lines of paint around the edges of the strips of paper to bring out the outlines and this also added another layer of texture. </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">I stamped using one of the 3D stamps I carry. I used the set with the dragonfly which was what my grandson was so intently watching on the porch that day. On the Dusty Attic chipboard I added sprays and distress embossing powder. </span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Flowers from the Coffee Break collection with distress embossing powder applied on the edges added just the right touches around the black and white photo. Using black paint I covered the word "tender" and place it across the photo. Black gesso around the edges and the project was complete, ready to be bond with paper and a back cover.</span></span><br />
