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!

3 Leaf Clover-Jumbo Tag

Good morning everyone, it's Peggy Lee here to wish you all a

Happy St. Patrick's Day!!!

I decided to try my hand at creating a clover....and this is what I came up with (my daughter thought it was a palm tree...lol). I wanted to use the Graphic 45 Tropical Travelogue Collection, I used the paper with beautiful vine leaves on it, I cut them out of the paper inked the edges and glue the centers together. It helped give the leaf some lift and depth, the stem is actually the leftovers from the embellishment sheet with the chipboard pieces...I cut it out, inked and glued down...I also used G45 Staples for the clover center and tag....I just love those metal brads.

Close up of the 3 leaf clover!

This mixed media jumbo tag was a little hard for me (mojo stuck) since we just moved into a new place and my life is all in boxes...ugh...but we started to settle in and I caught a very bad head/chest cold....and in my heart I want to create but in my mind was to sick....so I took a small window of feeling a little better and played....and to be truthful it was just what I needed....I am happy now!!

Thanks for stopping in today.

Wish me luck in finding my crafty supplies in all those boxes!!

hugs, Peggy Lee

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"

Love Notes - by Tonya Gibbs

Hi everyone, Valentine's day is right around the corner. Today I wanted to share with you a simple technique that will make your cards unique.

 

 

Bubble art -  I saw this technique last year in a Martha Stewart Magazine and wanted to try it immediately, in the magazine article they used paint, but I thought the effect would be better with Glimmer Mists.

 

Here are the steps to create the background

 

Pour bubbles (the kind your kids play with) into a large bowl. 
Fill until the bottom surface is covered. No need to add a lot.

Blow bubbles using a drinking straw

 

Spray your favorite color over the top of the bubbles. I used Tutti Fruity

Gently Lay your card stock over top (water color paper works best).
Don't allow the card to sink to the bottom.

 

Use the paper for your background.  You can dip and re-dip until the desired effect is achieved.

All that is left is to put the background onto your card base, and decorate!

 

Thanks for stopping in today,

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.
