#13 Chance & Tavia

Challenge #13 This week the challenge at Fantabulous Cricut is to create something for the bride. Use Something old, something new, something borrowed OR something blue. I tried to use all four -new, old, borrowed, & blue in my project for this challenge.

I made this hanging plaque for a girl & her fiance' that I baby sit for. She also happens to be the best friend of the girl, my son dates (sometimes). LOL I used a 5x7 inch piece of canvas (this was my old) and painted with apple barrel paints -in antique ivory. Then using my SU wonder color crayons, Really Rust, Night of Navy(the blue), & Baroque Burgundy. I stamped (or water colored) on the dried canvas. The bride and groom are awesome, they are cut from stretch your imagination (my new item)- I just got it Friday, and made this project with it. The B&G are cut at 2 1/2", for the names I used cursive 101 at 1". I wanted a flower, but didn't have the right color, so I used my copics to make the color I wanted. Stamp sets used are SU "wedding wishes" & "to have and to hold" The only thing I borrowed was time. So there you have it all four. :) =) Added some accessories, and now I have my present to give to the bride and groom. Thanks for stopping by, have a great day.

Stamping on Canvas for Mom

I have been very inspired lately to stamp! I have also been thinking about stamp camps I wanted to do in the upcoming new year. I couldn't sleep very well the other night, and this popped into my head. I love it when ideas that pop in there are actually able to be released (and you're not embarrassed) :) The pictures is stamped on canvas, using SU wonder color crayons. First I used Tempting Turquoise to paint the entire background. I spritzed water all over then scribbled with the crayon. Then took a paint brush and evened out the color. Let that set for a little while. Now you are ready to begin creating. Stamp set used was flower fancy from SU! The colors I used were: real red w/ buroque burgandy; orchid opulance w/elegant eggplant, only orange w/really rust, and garden green w/handsome hunter. After applying color everywhere I wanted it to. I let it dry once again. Then using the large outline I embossed in silver just in a few places, hard to see here, but is very subtle and elegant in person. Then tied on the whisper white ribbon organza, and placed a large flower and pearl from the prettiest kit. I hope the moms like this. The tag is cut from storybook.
