Oh, the places you will GO

Hello! Friends, I am here today with a post showcasing Ann Butler Designs, Lisa Jimenez and Rita Barakat Products in a week long blog hop.

This is a post after a very very long time, its feels really good getting back into posting and sharing my craft with you all.

Products Used:

• ColorBox® Art Screen by Ann Butler Designs - Lattice

• Ann Butler Crafter’s Ink by Clearsnap: Berry, Tangelo, Sunshine, Limelight, Ocean Breeze
• Lisa Jimenez Colorique by Clearsnap: Ruby Slippers, Verdigris
• Rita Baraka's Art Foamies: Hot Air Balloon
• Black marker, embossing paste

Instructions:

Okay so this was the easiest mixed media canvas to put together and came together very quickly.

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.

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.

Step 3: Finally, I fussy cut the balloon image and stuck it on the canvas with adhesive foam dots.

Hope you enjoyed this project and will try your hands on these wonderful products.

Earth Safe Finishes and Stencil Girl Blog Hop

Hi, Friends! today we, as part of Earth Safe Finishes are hopping along with Stencil Girl to celebrate Earth Day.

This mixed media canvas was so much fun to create. Loved working with the stencil girl stencil and the no VOC Earth Safe Finishes products and in honor of Earth Day I Reduced, Recycled and Reused. This was an old canvas project that had not turned out as expected.

ESF Pigments Permanent Red, Pthalo Green, Hot Pink

StencilGirl Marrakech 6 Stencil

StencilGirl  Fowl Play Stencil

StencilGirl  Techno Insiders Circle Stencil

Instructions:

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.

2. I then added some Ann Butler Designs Iridescents powders to give it slight shimmer.

3. The next step was brushing the canvas with ESF Chalk it up in Plum Preserves.

4. then using StencilGirl  Techno Insiders Circle Stencil and Ann Butler Designs iridescent in onyx I stenciled the circles and let dry.

5. next added texture using ESF texture and StencilGirl Marrakech stencil and let dry.

6. Then colored the design with ESF pigments.

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.

And now grab a cup of coffee to blog hop with these wonderful designers.
