With a gorgeous kit perfect for Valentines.
New Kiss Me Collection.
the kit includes a brush kit.
border kit.
background papers.
pieces.
printables. (always my favorite)
word art.
facebook cover page.
valentine kit.
goRgeous!
i have so many things i want to do with this kit my mind just keeps racing.
love having creative thoughts that keep me motivated in every area of my life.
so i created a little wall art.
well...it's actually 8x10...and sits in a shadow box.
i love how that looks in the shadow box...but i my photography of it was hideous...so i just had to let it go.
here are the details:
1.a scrap of burlap was adhered to a mat.
2. a few of the of the flags from the printables kit were trimmed and sewn to the top of the piece.
3. from the word art kit i printed the vintage post card and then sewed a piece of lace to the top to attach to the burlap matting.
4. the heart was trimmed out of one of the pieces from the pieces kit, and popped up over a tag that has a bit of a chevron pattern printed on it that came from the background paper kit. that was then layered over the playing card from the word art kit
5. those pieces were simply layered over the postcard and lace. a little junque bow tops that. and then i made a little flag from the printables kit and attached it to a vintage pin, and slipped it into the seam binding that had been sewn to the bottom of the tag.
but it really wasn't...
it was actually a matter of printing out this and that and simply playing...
being creative and playing are so important everyday.
if you have any questions on this, please leave me a comment...i would be happy to answer.
and i know you will be seeing more of the kit from me...because i adore it!!!
now i am off to margies...to spark my valentines...her new class::LOVELOVELOVE starts today.
2012 wall art
1.12.2012
Part of this months kit from WIP kits included several die punched tags.
I wanted to use the '2012' tag to celebrate the new year.
Actually...i just wanted to find a way to use the yellow damask...so pretty.
This piece starts with the Melissa Frances scalloped chipboard backdrop.
Black cardstock (included in the kit) is ModPodged on the top portion. Then a pattern from Carolina Breeze is added to the bottom portion. I did not get the stamps with the kit, but there was a great polka dot stamp included with January's kit...so instead a punchinella stencil from Scarlet Lime's Mixed Media kit was used to add silver paint here and there. An acrylic wash, in manila, was used over the damask to create a dreamy feel about the pattern. I like how it adds a bit of grunge, yet the yellow pattern and flowers still sets this piece apart with a feminine touch. I can personally relate to that.
A small junque bow tops the the tag. The 2012 tag is layered over a solid grey from the Carolina Breeze paper by Teresa Collins. The 'wonderful day' chipboard element (MyMind'sEye) in kraft was a bit too dark. It was sanded down a bit, stenciled and washed with an acrylic in manila.
Paper rolled flowers was inspired by this pinterest pin. I had never worked with them before. They are a little rough, so don't look too close. A pearl or two was added to the middle of them because the girl is finding her way back to pearls these days.
The chipboard ruler was also washed in manila acrylic and used as a border between the solid and the pattern part of the piece.
Ah...this was fun...mixed media is a growing interest of mine. I may have to add it to the weeks blog post repertoire...what say you?
