PWP DT: SPRING BURLAP PANNEL

Hi Scrappers,

Today I am sharing with you a burlap panel I made using the indian-blanket-cling-stamp and the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set sentiment, I made for PWP, please head here to see it: The Aviary.

I used:

The indian-blanket-cling-stamp and the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set sentiment, PWP

	Indian Blanket stamp set, PWP
	the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set sentiment
	Burlap Panel, TH, Ranger
	Distress Crayons, TH, Ranger
	ModPodge
	Water Brush, TH, Ranger
	Stencil, Michael
	Gold Chalk Marker
	Archival ink, Ranger
	white tissue paper  See my SnapGuide here, for steps by steps. In short, I stamped the Indian Blanket image using archival ink on tissue paper. I diluted some distress crayons with ModPodge instead of water and added to the burlap panel using a stencil for a colorful background. Then, I diluted some golden chalk also with ModPodge and added a faint border around the panel. When it was died, I added the stamped tissue paper to the panel using ModPodge and let it dry. Finally, colored the stamped image using the diluted crayons with ModPodge and a brush. To finish the look, I used a previously stamped specialty paper with the wildflowers sentiment and inked the edges of the fussy cut paper with golden chalk. I attached the sentiment to the panel using 3D zots.

Some closer looks:

I hope you enjoyed my burlap panel and give me some comments/ follow me.

Hi,

Today for this blog hop I am sharing with you my first post for Craftwell. For this kind of mixed media project I got inspired by my love for coffee and a coffee cardboard sleeve, I got at at small coffee shop in Fredericksburg, TX.  This is my end result:

Craftwell Tools: Cut N' Boss and Teresa Collins dies. For more supplies and steps to make this wall-hanging, please head over my Snapguide. Furthermore, all die cuts from the Teresa Collins dies, were made from used Stay-Wet paper, which was stained with many acrylic colors from my painting palettes.

Here are some more close looks:

I attached the Sizzix frame die cut only by the edges to add dimension to the frame.

I attached the tags only by the brad, leaving some movement to the whole piece, sticking the end of the tags inside the coffee sleeve:

I made a dangle using one of the TH IdeOlogy tags, a brad, and a vintage button:

 I tried to add as much dimension, as I could:

I added the Teresa Collins die-cut heart and a veneer cup from Latina Crafter, which I embellished with a red heart cut with a Sizzix die for contrast.

I hope you enjoyed my first craft for Craftwell and follow their blog as well

Many blessings

Vicky Tovar

For this blog hop, I got inspired by the warmer spring air here in Texas and by these two stamp sets from PWP: evening-primrose and the wildflowers-cling-stamp-set sentiment:

Some materials and instructions:

1-I used an oversized wooden tag and covered with an used Stay-wet painting palette paper, which was stained with many acrylic colors.

2- I cut a flower to make shaker flower using a Queen & Co. shaker flower-die-set.

Then, I added some translucent and gold big glitter and colored the outside of the flower with pink glitter marker:

3- I stamped the my flower using Hero Arts black ink:  

at this moment I wasn't sure which of the flowers I wanted to used, but I got inspired by this picture and decided on the evening primrose because the colors coordinate so well with my painting pallet paper and shaker-die cut:

4- I die cut some other wild-flowers shapes using the left-over of the Stay-wet paper:

5- I used some vine stencils from Anna Griffin and TH distress paints to add more to the colored background:

6- I colored a Creative Embellishments vine die cut and the stamped flower with markers and mermaid paint brushes from Jane Davenport:

7-  I stamped the sentiment with black HeroArts ink and embossed it with CTMH embossing powder on a handmade cardstock.

It gives an interesting effect because this paper absorbs the wax from the embossing powder giving the letters a metallic shimmer, but not the 3D effect.

  and I added a green metallic marker frame around the cardstock:

8- I attached some twine and a Moroccan bead to add some interest to the tag.

9- Finally, I cut a flower arrangement that came with the handmade cardstock in three and added it to the tag:

I hope you enjoyed this fun spring tag/ wall hanging:

I'm the last stop in this fun blog hop.
