Non Winning Artisan Project #9

So for the first 3D project entry I altered a canvas using reinkers, glue and salt.  Then, I used the Music Notes wheel and added some stamping to it.



 

 

The basic rhinestones were colored with reinkers and crystal effects before I added them to the canvas and I also dyed some paper doilies to use for accents.

 

 

I found a great Christopher Robin quote that I printed onto some Canvas Creations and then I sponged and spritzed ink over it before I added an image and some recolored basic pearls.

 

The butterflies are cut from the cardboard box that a My Paper Pumpkin kit came in and then I used the same music notes wheel to add music.

 

The canvas creations strips behind the picture were dyed just like the paper doilies and then distressed directly with ink pads.

 

There was lots of dimension and texture in this piece and it is another one that I would have loved to keep, but probably won't spend the time recreating for my own use.

Music Notes wheel

Musical Ornament card

 

When I made this card, I wasn't quite sure the direction I was headed and truthfully I feel like there is still something missing. 

 

 

I used the Music notes wheel and some designer series paper from the Festival of Prints stack.  There are three ornaments that have been folded and glued together to form a 3d ornament and I used some retired ribbon as my hanger.

 

The sentiment comes from Teen Tiny Wishes.

Notes and Flowers

Spring is here and this week at Late Night Stampers we are celebrating with Spring themed projects.  For my first one I chose music notes and flowers in some muted colors.

The background is the music notes wheel in Crumb Cake and I added some images from Field Flowers in Pretty in Pink and Rose Red.

Rose Red, Pretty in Pink, Garden Green, Perftect Plum classic ink

Loving Thoughts

These cards focus on the stamp set Loving Thoughts that is in the Occasions Mini catalog.  It is a great word set that can be used for a lot of different occasions.

One thing I rarely take out to use anymore is my wheels and I am not really sure why that is.  This is probably my favorite one tough, Music Notes, and I used Early Espresso ink for its image.

Inspirational birthday

At a retreat that I attend semi annually, we have an inspiration box that contains odds and ends of things that people have had laying around.  We can go through the box and pick something out to create a project with and this was the card I came up with last time.  The H and B came out of the inspiration box and I sanded them down and then sponged them with Soft Suede ink.

 

The rest was either from my scrap pile or was something that was close to me in my workspace at the time.  I always love using the fabric and have fallen in love with the music notes wheel as well so I put them together.  The sentiment is from Bring on the Cake and I added a vintage flower adornment, a vintage trinket, basic pearls and a piece of vanilla seam binding.

Musical birthday

I used Mary Jo's sketch for this card and it took me a long time to get it to where I was satisfied with it because I think I added the sentiment too high in the corner.  Of course that was already attached, LOL!
