DI

This has been done on the reverse of a canvas using the large running and trotting reindeer and large sleigh by Tando Creative.

The outside frame of the canvas has been painted blue using Eco Green paint, then embossed with UTEE and I have stamped into the hot UTEE with a snowflake stamp, then I have gone over some places with Silver Precious Metal paint by Viva Decor.

Reindeer have been simply painted, then inked with Distress Ink.  The Sleigh has been made 3D using extra pieces of chippie for the front and base.  The Santa is an image from some Christmas papers I have.

REBEKAH

 

I made a 'recipes'  canvas to store whole recipes on tags behind, or just the book and page number of my favourite recipes so that I can find them quickly...

Recipe chipboard word available here....

I started by antiquing the canvas with tissue paper and Tea Dye Distress Ink.  Next I added a background paper.  I then added a contrasting patterned paper.   I made a large chipboard B before slotting into the slits in the patterned paper.

Next I took some Maya Road butterflies and painted them using Claudine's paints in green and yellow. Once dry, I added Rangers Rock Candy. Once that was dry, I distressed with the the Tea Dye Ink again to bring out the cracks. I took the top filigree butterfly and bent in half and glued to the bottom butterfly before adding some Prima gems.

I layered up some flowers, new Maya Road Kraft Doilies, ribbon and the butterflies before adding some little Maya Road Alpha's and some Rub-ons.

EMY

A friend of mine gave me an old upholstery fabric swatch and I loved the colours of it (in fact a photo of the fabric swatch the the header image on my blog). I also have a collection of shiny things in my jewellery box with various sentimental connections that hardly see the light of day, as I'm not really a brooch person, so I combined the two to make a wallhanging.

KAREN

 I have used Eco Paint throughout and have gone for very bright colours this time!  I gesso'd over the top of the base & then sprayed coloured mists.  All the chipboard is by Tando Creative.

I used a spritz of Victorian Velvet Distress re-inker through a Prima Mask then sponged on Graphite Inka Gold on a canvas that has been painted with cream acrylic paint.
The papers are graphic 45 Le Romantique.  More info on my blog!
