Aunt Canvas with Candy

Hi Everyone Candy here with my latest mixed media canvas.

This one is for an order for a friend

from her Granddaughter to her Aunt...

Just love this verse

I'm not just an

Aunt

I'm a big cup of 

Wonderful, 

Covered in Awesome

Sauce

with a splash of sassy

and a 

dash of crazy

I firstly applied white gesso to the canvas.

Then applied the modelling paste and the mask all over.

Let this dry

Apply your sprays I used coffee and turquoise around the canvas

I used a spray water bottle to dilute the colour

and don't forget to dry between colours or you will

make mud...

It took me a while until I was happy with the colours

just don't forget it will dry lighter.

I glued the plastic frame using a good strong glue

My canvas had a cut out piece where you place the photo

underneath. 

This is where I glued my frame.

If your frame is glossy give a rub down with sandpaper

to roughen so the gesso and sprays will take.

I covered my chipboard pieces with gesso

then using versamark then my embossing enamel

cover well.

Then place your flowers, chipbaord pieces, leaves etc where

you want them, then glue down.

I added some gold around my canvas just to give it a highlight.
I also went over my verse with a black permanent pen to make stand out.

Merry Christmas tags with Tania

Hello lovely crafters, and a big Merry Christmas to you all!!

I have a quick and easy project for you today. These cute, hanging hearts make great tree decorations or gift tags, you can personalize them to suit and add any embellishments to compliment.

I used this stencil from Memory Maze which is a favourite of mine!!!

Mini Stencils divided heart 100 x 100mm min buy 5 priced as ea

I started by sponging some Distress Stain in Gold and Silver, through the stencil onto white cardstock. 

Then I cut the hearts out using a die and my Die cutting machine.

To finish, I embossed a Merry Christmas sentiment in black, added some gold washi tape strips and a punched, gold star.

I have some gorgeous gold and silver twine in my stash, so used these together to make the hangers.

All done, so quick and easy. You could pump out a few of these in one sitting, they make great last minute tags!

Thanks for looking and enjoy your Christmas!!!

Layers of chipboard with Tracey Henly

I used this cool stencil for the background and sprayed some glimmer through it.

I absoluetly love 3D chipboard, the more layers I can stack the better I love it. So this birds and branches frame kit was my starting point for this layout.  I added the fancy flourishes to the top and bottom as well to build it up, but as I was gluing it on I curved the straight edge around to match the frame. Finished off with the cute little butterflies.

The title "B fearlessly Authentic" was all one piece but it didn't work well that way on this layout, so don't be scared to cut them up and make them fit peeps.

All chipboard has been painted with Prima alchelmy sparks paints.

Finished off with some prima and petaloo flowers.

Thanks for looking

Hi everyone - Kylie here to inspire you with another layout here on the Memory Maze blog......

Swirl 2a Swirl flourish

To alter this gorgeous piece of chipboard I have used yellow Zinc embossing powder......

This layout is of my gorgeous mother and my daughter - I have created a background using texture paint and a cute branch stencil once dry I touched up with assorted metallic paint colours. I than drizzled with House paints orange and white..... over the background. Once dry I layered with old map paper and two different background papers which I have just torn and layered along with some small white dollies.

I have embellished with assorted wash tapes, gauze and puffy embellishments and of course my embossed chipboard flourish.

For the title I have used a Heidi Swapp die "Lovely" and gold chipboard tiles. To journal I have used manila tags. Last but not least I have used a white sign pen and doodled around the edges.

Hope you enjoyed todays upload.
