Sunshine Canvas

This is a canvas I made using Art Anthology sprays and dimensional paints. These paints are so fun and versatile to work with!

I first used a stencil and spritzed the Art Anthology coloration spray. Then I painted the grass with a wide brush and spread some lighter yellow behind the flower. I painted petals on the canvas and painted the fabric flower to give it more color and dimension.  I adhered the flower to the canvas and added a vintage button to the center. 

The letters are made from grunge board and spritzed with the Art Anthology coloration spray. 

The leaves and stem are made from ribbon.

                                     The final touch is the lady bugs! The lady bugs are buttons.

Moon Canvas

This is a canvas I painted using Art Anthology paints. If you have not used these paints before you are missing out. The colors are so vibrant and easy to work with.  I highly recommend them!

The saying is from Game of Thrones (an HBO series) 

Frog under the weather.

This is a stamped frog image that I colored with colored pencils and blended with gamisol. Gamisol is odorless mineral spirits. I love the effect that it has on the colors. 

I then used Stickles on the rain drops and on the flies wings. 

Masking card

This is a card that I made using a masking type tape. It is a tape that is somewhat sticky but you can use it over and over. So I took a piece of the tape and tore it in half. I then placed one piece at the top and another piece half way down the card. I picked 3 different colors and inked in between the masking tape blending the colors slightly as they meet. 

I then took off the tape and stamped the wisps.  I then stamped the flower and the saying. The inks and stamps are Close to my Heart. 

Rose Spellbinder card

Here is another card made from Spellbinder dies. Spellbinders dies are so versatile. Just cut them out and layer them and they make a beautiful card. 

For this card I used a rose colored card stock and inked the edges of the large frame (which is the first layer) I then inked the rest of the cut out dies with a coordinating ink. (Close to My Heart). I used pop dots to raise the center and added some dew drops. To finish it off I added an organza bow.

You are my Sunshine

Have I told you that I love flowers? This was such an easy card. First I picked 3 different shades of yellow. I then tore them in half and adhered them to the card from dark to light.  

Then I cut out 2 flowers with a Spellbinder die. I folded the flowers in half and glued them to the card. I stamped "You are my sunshine" and the flower stems (from Close to my Heart) To top off the card and add dimension I added a dew drop to each flower. 

Real friends

Here is another card I made using scraps of paper I had. I first came across the blue and brown lined paper and then found the patterned paper. I only had a small stripe of the lined paper so I placed that on the bottom with the patterned paper on the top. I then added the flower in the center.

It did take me a few minutes to find the sticker that ties it all together. You could also used a coordinating piece of ribbon to bring the bottom and top together.
