<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Okay so this was the easiest mixed media canvas to put together and came together very quickly.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 1: First I put the colorique pigment ink on a craft mat and using a brayer I colored the artfoamies hot air balloon stamp and added some glitter. Loved the pigment inks very easy to spread on the stamp. Artfoamies are also really great very easy to use and you get crisp image everytime.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGCNqR72_U9fNC9QQVISCWBP31O2vMcqb2pCnxNsnahtMyEDv4jFMx3d5er1pD2zFuRzR1Xfyv6lMSSDVJxLj9d7t4KqFfAx5ZDpHHT0M4vRYOe2pBIb05tyqylsaOsyinKKZNfNPQHgU-/s1600/balloon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="563" data-original-width="750" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGCNqR72_U9fNC9QQVISCWBP31O2vMcqb2pCnxNsnahtMyEDv4jFMx3d5er1pD2zFuRzR1Xfyv6lMSSDVJxLj9d7t4KqFfAx5ZDpHHT0M4vRYOe2pBIb05tyqylsaOsyinKKZNfNPQHgU-/s320/balloon.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 2: Colored the canvas using Ann Butler Designs pigment inks by clearsnap and then used the lattice stencil and embossing paste on the canvas to create some interest. Also, wrote down this wonderful quote from Dr, Suess's book.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZelqfACHVf12P2vziwIOSlN_RbAseBUsYjQIGSNMIH1FIWXB7CO5_13sN6S9Emm4Biv-dQ6XIgfS_mskcWjWM_MYV9SxVR1_w5rfLlBJUdT2E_2QH3MLPJHBcBmDxW9CiEoes5jwrMOcr/s1600/balloon-1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="562" data-original-width="750" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZelqfACHVf12P2vziwIOSlN_RbAseBUsYjQIGSNMIH1FIWXB7CO5_13sN6S9Emm4Biv-dQ6XIgfS_mskcWjWM_MYV9SxVR1_w5rfLlBJUdT2E_2QH3MLPJHBcBmDxW9CiEoes5jwrMOcr/s320/balloon-1.png" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Step 3: Finally, I fussy cut the balloon image and stuck it on the canvas with adhesive foam dots.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Instructions:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1. Firstly, I covered the canvas with ESF Gesso and let dry. The Gesso is so thick and rich and just one coat covered my previous project entirely.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2. I then added some Ann Butler Designs Iridescents powders to give it slight shimmer.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3. The next step was brushing the canvas with ESF Chalk it up in Plum Preserves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4. then using </span><a href="http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/searchresults.asp?Search=m086&Submit=" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="productnamecolorLARGE colors_productname" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span itemprop="name" style="box-sizing: border-box;">StencilGirl </span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span><span class="productnamecolorLARGE colors_productname" style="box-sizing: border-box; display: inline-block; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span itemprop="name" style="box-sizing: border-box;">Techno Insiders Circle Stencil</span></span></a> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">and Ann Butler Designs iridescent in onyx I stenciled the circles and let dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5. next added texture using ESF texture and StencilGirl Marrakech stencil and let dry.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6. Then colored the design with ESF pigments.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7. Lastly stenciled the birds using the StencilGirl Fowl Play Stencil. I have to say I absolutely love these stencils and they have such a large selection that its tough to not find something you absolutely adore.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">And now grab a cup of coffee to blog hop with these wonderful designers.</span><br />

Instructions:</div>
</div>
<div style="color: #4e2800; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="color: #4e2800; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
1. Mix equal parts of <a href="http://www.eti-usa.com/easy-sculpt" target="_blank"><span style="color: #b5653b;">E</span>asySculpt Epoxy Modeling Clay</a> and mix them together as per the instructions in the box.</div>
<div style="color: #4e2800; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
2. Once mixed press the clay into the silicone mold pressing the clay into the delicate parts. let the clay dry for 5 hours before taking it out of the mold. Honestly I .absolutely love this product so easy to use and once dry you can file it or sand it</div>
<div>
<div style="color: #4e2800; font-family: arial, tahoma, helvetica, freesans, sans-serif;">
3. Once it dried I painted it with <a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/iridescent-powders/" style="color: #b5653b; text-decoration: none;">Ann Butler Designs Iridescents and iridescent powders</a>. For this pendant I painted the flower with iridescent powder in rose and iridescent ink in limelight. The frame was painted with Ann Butler Designs Iridescents Sapphire. I then glued the flower to the frame.</div>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">
Hello, Crafty Friends! How is everybody doing today?. Today I would like to share a faux quilt Ann Butler background card which came together pretty quickly.</h2>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Can't believe we are halfway into September already, where does the time intend to fly too, just feels like yesterday that we were welcoming 2015 and I had hopes of accomplishing so many things. Well, on the flip side I still have 3.5 months to accomplish my tasks. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNLNkC289gLYzMj5TqgKHGy3DnLdjoKo1Jfhq1ZooPMeluvIiMdbiu0KW1vdi22S5XjFudxjvpPSyRxmVlGAdCqb5KMItKSYp2IrxuFBiG6AiIRASyW07wklx9YYIIUla3gpoVp9VPhGvo/s1600/ann+butler+design.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="Faux Quilt Ann Butler Background" border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNLNkC289gLYzMj5TqgKHGy3DnLdjoKo1Jfhq1ZooPMeluvIiMdbiu0KW1vdi22S5XjFudxjvpPSyRxmVlGAdCqb5KMItKSYp2IrxuFBiG6AiIRASyW07wklx9YYIIUla3gpoVp9VPhGvo/s400/ann+butler+design.jpg" title="" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
Sometimes its nice to not layer up the card too much.<br />
<br />
Products Used:<br />
<a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/product-details.cfm?colorbox-crafter-s-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Crafter’s Ink by Clearsnap:</a> Lilac, night<br />
<a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/shop/1-stripes-dots-hearts/" target="_blank">Ann Butler 1"Faux Quilt Stamps by Unity Stamps </a><br />
Cardstock, lace, border embossing folder, glitter pen, image stamp<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
1. Cut the top layer of the cardstock depending on the size card you want and then lay your faux quilt pattern on an acrylic block. With Ann Butler Design Stamps you have a lot of flexibility on how you want your pattern to be as these stamps don't have edges so they work beautifully and you can come up with limitless options. Once you are satisfied with the pattern stamp it on the card. Here I used Ann Butler Design Lilac ink pad.<br />
2. Then I defined the edges of the quilt pattern with glitter pen. and edged the cardstock with black ink<br />
3. Using an embossing folder embossed one side, added lace and the stuck on an image.<br />
<br />
Hope you will try a similar faux quilt Ann Butler Background technique. <br />

I guess I love making things for my daughter as I have quite a few projects customized for her and she loves making things for me because I have more artwork and hearts than I know what to do lol.......though I love her little surprises for me.....like today I got a heart card in the mail from her.</div>

Stickles</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
This was such a quick project to put together. First I stamped the name using Crafter's ink blueberry and Ann Butler's 2" ABC stamp set. The ink pads are so juicy and work so well with fabric that I absolutely enjoyed working. I am sure you know how frustrating it can get when the products you use don't work like they should.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then I stamped with Ann Butler's faux quilt stamps and i cannot tell you how much I love these innovative stamps they are so much fun to work with.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Lastly I stamped the Checks 1 stamp and blinged it up using stickles. </div>

Cardstock, metal rings, 3 X4 calendar sheets for 2015, transparency, black sharpie<br />
<br />
Instructions:<br />
1. Stamp the cardstock using Ann Butler's crafter's ink and stamps to create beautiful background and attach the printed calendar sheets.<br />
2. Cut your cardstock to insert into the frame<br />
3. Stamp your design on the cardstock. This was really easy using Ann Butler Design's faux quilt stamps. These stamps just have endless possibilities......Loveeeeeee them.<br />
4. Now I cut a sheet of transparency to fit into the frame and handwrote a quote. I love to read quotes and so I thought this would be the best way to add an inspirational quote everyday or month to inspire me when I look at the calendar.<br />
5. Drilled two holes for the metal rings so I can hang the calendar sheets.<br />

Hello All! just popping in again to share another beautiful card I made using Ann Butler Designs Art Screen. Does'nt it look all glittery.<br />
<br />
Products Used:<br />
<a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/product-details.cfm?colorbox-crafter-s-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Crafter’s Ink by Clearsnap:</a> Sunshine, Berry, limelight, Tangelo<br />
<a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-art-screens-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Design's Art Screens- Lattice</a><br />
<a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/texture-smooth-or-rough/">ESF Texture </a><br />
Cardstock, Colorbox daubers, gold glitter, paper roses, sentiment stamp<br />
<br />
Instructions<br />
1. Use Ann Butler Crafter's ink and art screen on white cardstock to get your back ground image<br />
2. Now move the art screen so the open squares fall on the not inked area and use the ESF texture to get the raised look.<br />
3. While the texture is wet add glitter and dust off the access and let dry<br />
4. Finally I stuck the white cardstock on a black card base and embellished it with paper roses and a sentiment.<br />
<br />
Here are a couple of close ups of the background using Ann Butler Art Screens.<br />

Hello everybody! hope you all had a great weekend. Just popping in to share a quick project. Isn't this ESF Texture treat box cute?<br />
<br />
Products used:<br />
<ul>
<li><a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/texture-smooth-or-rough/">ESF Texture </a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/chalk-it-up/">Earth Safe Finishes Chalk It Up</a>, Cherry Jubilee</li>
<li><a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/iridescent-powders/">Ann Butler Designs Iridescents powders,</a> Onyx</li>
<li><a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/no-voc-protective-wax/">Earth Safe Finishes No VOC Wax</a> </li>
<li><a href="https://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-art-screens-by-ann-butler">ColorBox® Art Screen by Ann Butler</a> </li>
</ul>
So first I used the ESF Texture with the Art Screen by Ann Butler and let dry. Then painted the stars with chalk it up paint. Now I mixed the iridescents powders with the ESF no voc wax and painted the leftover stars and my treat box was ready.<br />
<br />
here is a closer look.<br />

Hello everybody! Today I am stopping by with this Coaster Pen Holder using ESF Crackle and Chalk it up paints. I had a lot of fun making this project and was pretty easy to put together too.<br />
<br />
Products Used<br />
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/products-price-list/">Earth Safe Finishes ™ Chalk it Up paints: Key Lime Pie, Cherry Jubilee and Plum Preserves </a></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/products-price-list/">Earth Safe Finishes™ Crackle</a></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/products-price-list/">Earth Safe Finishes™ No VOC Acrylic Varnish</a></li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Cardboard coasters, ribbon and hot glue.</li>
</ul>
So you need 5 coasters for this project. First I painted the Coasters with ESF Cherry Jubilee Chalk it up paint and then sponged 2 coats of ESF Crackle paint, you have to let the crackle layer dry before applying the next one. After the crackle paint was dry I added the chalk it up key lime pie paint and let it crackle. I then stamped an image using black ink.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Once my image was dry I painted the flowers in cherry jubilee and plum preserves.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Once that was dry i coated everying the ESF Acrylic Varnish. Then punched five holes on the sides the threaded with ribbon like a shoe lace. the bottom piece was hot glued.<br />

Hello All!...........finally I was able to spend sometime today crafting......where did April go?, well I have no idea hope you all accomplished a lot this month.<br />
<br />
Today I want to share this quilted card with you all. I love Ann Butler Design stamps they are just so creative with endless possibilities.<br />

<br />
And I also love the Ann Butler's Crafter's Ink, the pads are so juicy and with vibrant colors, as you can see all the colors just pop on this card......absolutely love the way this card turned out.<br />
<br />
Products Used:<br />
<a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/product-details.cfm?colorbox-crafter-s-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Crafter’s Ink by Clearsnap:</a> Berry, Sunshine, limelight, Aquamarine<br />
<a href="http://www.unitystampco.com/product-category/co-branded-stamps/ann-butler-faux-quilting-coming-soon/" target="_blank">Ann Butler 1"Faux Quilt Stamps by Unity Stamps </a><br />
Cardstock, embossing folder, lace, sentiment stamp<br />
<br />
First I stamped the images in different colors and cut them out, now I made a quilted pattern and adhered the pieces to the cardstock. Do make sure to emboss your quilted design to give it that extra detail. I embellished the rest of the card with lace which I colored using the crafter's ink.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed the card and thanks for stopping by..............</div>

Products Used:<br />
Ann Butler Designs Iridescents <a href="http://www.earthsafefinishes.com/" target="_blank">Earth Safe Finishes</a> : Sunshine, Red, Lilac<br />
An image stamp (I used the flower from hero arts) <br />
Clear embossing ink<br />
cardstock, rhinestones, ribbon.<br />
<br />
So first I stamped the image with clear embossing powder on a white cardstock, now using a fine tip brush and the iridescent powders coloured the image using red, sunshine and lilac iridescent. These powders give a fine glittery shine to the image....loved the results.<br />
<br />
here is a close up of the image.<br />

Hi, dear Friends today I am stopping by to share my very first tag. Here in WNY we have had a frigid February apparently its the coldest month in the recorded history now thats something!......so this gloomy weather had been making most of us here very gloomy and down so I decided to make something cheerful with a hopeful greeting that may be,<span id="goog_1986015367"></span><span id="goog_1986015368"></span> just maybe the temperatures are going to get warmer soon. So here is the tag..........<br />

So I started with beautiful tag I recieved from Ann Butler, I used the art daubers and colored the tag using sunshine, tangelo and canyon inks, I then stamped using the basket stamps with night ink color. Now came the making's clay, I rolled out a piece of clay and cut out the flower shapes, then colored them using <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-crafter-s-by-ann-butler" target="_blank" title="Colorbox Crafters by Ann Butler">Colorbox Crafters by Ann Butler</a> in Canyon, Tangelo,Sunshine, Limelight and used iridescents powders to give the flowers a beautiful shimmer. Then added some stemps and leaves with making's clay. I embossed the sentiment on makings clay and attached it to the top of the tag.<br />

Products Used:<br />
<a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-background-basics-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Design's Background Basics Stamps</a><br />
<a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-art-screens-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Design's Art Screens- Waves</a> <br />
<a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-crafter-s-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Design's Crafter's Ink</a> limelight, Aquamarine, Canyon, Night, Berry<br />
Ann Butler Design's EZ-De's alphabet stamps<br />
Sisal Rope, paper roses, buttons, embossing paste, hot glue<br />
<br />
So first I colored my canvas using <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-crafter-s-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Design's Crafter's Ink</a> limelight and Aquamarine then stamped the <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-background-basics-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Design's Background Basics Stamps</a> checks stamp using night ink color<br />

<br />
I then used the <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-art-screens-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Design's Art Screens- Waves</a> screen and applied some embossing paste to transfer my screen design on the canvas and also create some depth, once dry I colored it with <a href="http://www.clearsnap.com/colorbox-crafter-s-by-ann-butler">Ann Butler Design's Crafter's Ink</a> Canyon, I might be a little biased to this color. After that I dressed the canvas with some sisal rope, buttons, paper roses and the alphabets. Here are some close up shots<br />
