Moment - small canvas

Hello dear friends!

This is my new project for 2Crafty Chipboard.

I found this cute photo on pinterest and decided to create a small canvas this time.
Even the project is too small, I managed to use 7 chipboard pieces in there :)

I used different media to alter the chipboard pieces.

The word 'Moment' is painted with black and white gesso.

I also used white gesso to paint the Medallion Flower . 

For the tiny Hearts I used H2O Twinkling Watercolor by ColourArte in red shade, 

because I wanted to achieve a shiny and juicy look. 

I also used a small  paintbrush with white gesso to highlight them.

I altered the Leaves and the Polaroid Frame with green and brown shades of  Primary Elements by ColourArte  in order to give them a natural look. 

I just spread some powder of all colors here and there with a dry paintbrush 

and sprayed some water.

2Crafty Chipboards Used:

Polaroid Assortment Frames, Flower Medallions, ATC Tiny Hearts & Stars, 

Moment Loopy Font, Leafy Silhouettes, Wildflower Set

To create this canvas I used this beautiful sketch by Kiev Skrapklub

love bugs

Hello everyone!

 Today I want to share a canvas I created about love bugs for Mixed Media Place! 

I really like bugs, I think they are very cute and I love... love! So, my thought was to combine these two ideas in one project:

For this canvas I used quite a few embellishments, actually one chipboard piece and two die cuts from the 7 Dots Studio Soulmates collection! 

In order to create the background of the composition, I used the light paste with Finnabair's 'Weaving' stencil and some Lindy's Stamps Gang sprays in color shades that match the photo's colors. I also did some stamping with several stamps here and there...

To create the clusters I used the wooden sticks which come with the canvas - I haven't figured out yet how am I supposed to use them, so I had this idea to glue them on the canvas :) I also glued on them some torn tiny pieces of old pages and little pieces of canvas paper and used some gold thread. 

One thing I enjoyed was cutting out the bug. I printed the same photo twice and glue the bug on the second photo. I really like this effect - it's like a real one standing on the photo and looking at it's fellow! :)

For the tittle I used one of the 7 Dots Studio dies. As I didn't have any frame, I decided to make one of my own with gold wire. I wrapped some of it around the sticker and glued it down... I love the result and definitely am going to do it again in another project!

 As a final touch, I used my favorite ever 'Blue Grass' from Primary Elements on some spots to highlight them.
