Memorial Day Inspiration "Flying Flags" by Peggy Lee

This past Monday was our Memorial Day Holiday, our family

always celebrate with watching the Memorial Day Parade.

My hubby marches every year...

My heart is always full of joy, grace and grateful to all who are and have served.

Thank You to them all, even the ones who are left behind will they serve.

I love to take a photo of the flags flying every year!

I wanted a way to gaze upon it's beauty and be reminded everyday...so I created this 

Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout of the Flying Flags!

Love the USA!

I used drywall tape as a stencil, I laid it down and scrapped 

stucco over it, then pulled it up...it leaves great texture!!

I also used some other stencils as well.

I did some random stamping, sprayed and splattered

my favorite mists, color washes...and gesso watered down.

I found some metal letters in my stash...perfect for this layout....I am going to frame this

layout and hang it on our wall to honor my hubby and our family members who have served.

Thanks for stopping in today,

hugs

You are the Light Canvas by Tonya Gibbs

 

Hi everyone,  have you had a chance to participate in the blog hop with Marion Smith Designs and Petaloo? Today is the last day. Make sure you pop over to the respective blogs (listed below) and leave a comment. 

 

 

 

  

These gorgeous Botanicals from Petaloo complimented Marion's paper lines beautifully! Here are the products I used to create this canvas.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

My background was inspired by a rusted sign.  I really wanted the edges to have that rusted metal effect.  I used the Tattered Angels Natural Paint System - Mahogany  but instead of "as directed"  I blotched it on with a paint brush. Once it was dry I applied some crackle paint from Ranger to give it a blistered rusty effect.

 

 

 

Oh my can you say Luscious?  Look at these wonderful embellies all clustered together, with a few extra fussy cut pieces from Marion's paper collections.  I absolutely love how these all work so well together.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Make sure you comment and subscribe to each blog, as we will be picking some lucky winners to win some awesome new products from both Marion Smith Designs and Petaloo!

Canvas Flower Pin 

Good morning everyone I have decided to take on Tonya Gibbs Challenge from the Artsy Addicts Facebook!! The color inspiration is drawn from the beautiful photo....RADIANT ORCHID is the 2014 Pantone Color of the Year. 

I created a canvas flower pin!

You all know that Easter is right around the corner, this would be so beautiful to wear 

or give as a lovely gift.

I started with a raw natural canvas flower (already per-made for you)...

I grabbed my different mist in the colors to match the challenge...

Started to spray and play!!

I added some cheese clothe, lace, pearls and handmade flower with

some beautiful per made flowers! Seam binding and a facet with paper glued behind it.

Tutorial-handmade flower

I took Tattered Angels-Pure Mistable Paper

I cut a rolled flower out of the paper, misted with water...took my glimmer mist

and a paint brush and dabbed on the color around the edges.

I rolled it up wet, unrolled and dry a little-then rolled up again glued

together....dried again! Whoola!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Fabric Wrapped Bracelet & One Little Word for 2014

Good morning Artsy Addicts peeps....

I have a little gem to share with you for some time now I have wanted to create a fabric wrapped bracelet!! Yes I have been so inspired by Pinterest there are many beautiful handmade jewelry eye candy! With inspiration and the One Word for the Year has been on my mind....

I have known I wanted to use "courage" as my word..

Just now having time to create a little gem

 to remind me..to have

 "courage".

I started with a torn piece of muslin and Marion Smith Designs stamps "Curious and Typo".

Stamped the word "courage" in Archival Ink in black.

Sewed another piece of torn muslin together...I just stitched over and over...for texture.

Grabbed my Tattered Angels glimmer mist started to spray away...along with more stamping!

Also glimmer mist my seam binding....and to protect the mist from 

running I brushed on a thin layer of multi-medium matte.

Punched my holes for the eyelets!!!!

Added some jump rings, chain and Junque Gems by Marion Smith...

along with my favorite little vintage mother of pearl button with the thread 

still in it....oh love this...

"courage"-gems clock for "time"-tea cup for "relax-take it in"

& vintage button "remember we I have come from".....

Thanks for stopping by today!

Take "courage" and create!

Recycled Heart Card "love"

Recycled Heart Card

Today I am sharing with you all, my recycled heart card...

With Valentine's right around the corner I am trying to get a head start on the Holiday!

I first took a 61/2 x 5 size card base.

Using a Heidi Swapp Heart Stencil and plaster created the heart 

background textured.

Using my Tattered Angels mists...I used them like water color effect.

Along with Tim Holtz stencil Dot Fade and gesso for even more texture.

I cut a heart out of old cardboard, ripped the top layer off.

Painted some gesso over the heart.

Did the same water coloring on the Petaloo flower...with glimmer mist.

Added a little embellishment cut out 

of Mad Tea Party paper collections by Marion Smith.
