Canvas and easel

Friday!!! Roll on tomorrow when my daughter is coming home for the weekend from Uni, really looking forward to seeing her.
So today is my turn on the Studio12 Polkadoodle blog. I've made a canvas to go on an easel.

I took a blank canvas and covered it with matt medium and then adhered the large rose paper from the All Sewn Up kit from the Picknix Collection 1 CD. I printed out the elements from the same All Sewn Up kit and inked them with walnut distress ink. I punched out the butterflies using the smaller rose paper and used them for a skirt for the dressmakers dummy. The buttons have been cut with a Marianne Designs die and the buttons from the CD. The sentiment is also from All Sewn Up. Before adhering the elements I used gesso and a flower mask to add some texture and also inked through some sequin waste. I also dabbed over some ink to make it look vintagey an also smeared some light pink paint over the canvas. The elements and sentiment were then adhered.

 

Don't forget to keep going over to the Studio 12 blog to see the fab projects the DT show.

I've made 3 ATCs for today's post. I've used up all the scraps that I had left over from my previous projects. I've used different stitching to edge them and also distress ink. All the papers , sentiments and some of the embellies are from the Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 CD.

Studio 12 shabby chic tag

Yay it's Friday and looking forward to the weekend as we are supposed to be getting some sun at last!!
Today it is my turn over on the Studio 12 blog to show a project and I'd like to show you a really easy but effective tag.

When I received my Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 from Nikky I print out lots of papers, sentiments, embellies etc and make my projects. When I've finished I end up with lots of left over bits and I'm definately NOT throwing them away. So I use them to make tags or ATCs. So for this tag I've used left over papers from the Welcome Home kit. I've covered the tag with one paper and then ripped some other contrasting paper into strips and layered it onto the tag. I edged it with walnut distress ink and also inked through some sequin waste to create the circles. I next added some of the tape embellie from the All Sewn Up kit and then machine sewed around the tag. With another scrap of paper which I tore and inked I added the Emily Bronte sentiment. Next I cut out 3 of the roses from the Heavenly Garden kit, inked them and adhered them to the tag using 3D pads. An easy but effective tag!!
