Playing with Canvas

Hi UmWowStudio Fans....

Christmas is right around the corner...

can you believe it!??!

....and I am sharing a non~holiday creation!
Yes, you heard me correctly.

I created a pocket hanger to hold a few of my cotton picks

that I recently acquired.

I used a painted UmWowStudio chippie

Netting Background

which I sewed onto my canvas pocket,

to add to the texture and color of my

pocket hanger.

I also added few glass buttons

and a piece of black ticking to

hang the my pocket with.

I hope you enjoyed my

non~holiday creation.

Wishing each and everyone of you a

Very MERRY Christmas

and a HAPPY New Year!

It truly feels good to be back to creating

.....that is not wedding related!

To get me back in the groove,

I needed a bit of help with inspiration so I visited

Our Mixed Media Moods

I LOVE the beach theme and the BEAUTIFUL colors.

As I pondered the mood board, I decided I wanted to create ATC's

so I chose to focus on the colors first.

I pulled out a piece of 7 Dots Studio ~ Palmistry paper

from the Fortune Teller collection.

I mixed up a concoction of

Gesso, High Impact Paint and Glimmer Glam

and splattered it on the paper surface.

Drying each layer as I went.

Next, I pulled out my UmWowStudio ~ Grid Stencil

and applied various texture mediums through the stencil

randomly on the paper.

When the mediums were dry I used a pipette

to drop a bit of Bronze Mist onto my paper.

Now I had completed "paper" which I cut into 3.5" x 2.5" pieces. 

LOOK at all the wonderful ATC bases I have to work with!

Sticking with the beach theme, I pulled out a piece of

UmWowStudio ~ Netting Background

cut it to size and colored it with a bit of Glam, along with a flower.

Do you see the seaweed looking chippie?

It's my UmWowStudio ~ Leafy Branch

which can look a bit like seaweed.

I colored it with a bit of Glam and then cut it into pieces.

Lastly, I mixed a bit of sand with a smidge of Clear Gesso

to accent my ATC.

I applied the mixture to edges and used it to adhere

the tiny shells.

I used the words for the Fortune teller collect to round out my ATC.

.

I hope you enjoyed my little canvas.....

now I'm off to make more ATC's!!

Hello creative friends!

Here I am with a layout 12 x 12! I can't wait for the summer, I mean really!!

So I decided to do a layout of the beach..beach... I missed beach so much!

I embossed the Netting background. And for the Doilies, I inked it with

the rainbow 13 arts and white Irresistible.
