Landscape Moon backgrounds from Imagination Crafts

Hi all

As promised another card made with one of my backgrounds - Iv'e used a waterproof ink pad and acrylic paints to add colour to these background papers.

The papers are coated so water-based ink pads do not dry well on them but waterproof ink pads work well. They still need a little time to dry as does any acrylic paint you use on them.

For this card Iv'e coloured my flowers with Gold Metallic and Lime Green Acrylic paint.

Imagination Crafts Celtic Dies

Hi all

Here's just a taster of one of the new backgrounds Iv'e designed for Imagination Crafts. They go so well with the Celtic Dies and add a full background to any image or to any Scenic Die.

I want to try them next with stamps and embossing powders to create even more scenic cards so watch this space for more in the very near future.....

Bird and Bird Box Canvas

Bird and Bird Box Canvas Tutorial

This canvas was made using Imagination Crafts products along with other bits and pieces.  I hope you get out your canvasses and try this method of using up your bits and pieces.

Please find below my tutorial for March.  Title : "Bird and Bird Box Canvas"  

1.  Mix an equal amount of Bicarbonate of Soda and white acrylic paint and spread onto a canvas.  Place the Honeycombe stencil on top and spread more mixture on top again. 

2.  Scratch lines into the surface for effect 

3. Heat with a Heat gun and the paint and Bicarbonate of Soda mix will puff up.

4.  Add some more images from the Deco Branch Stencil and heat again. 

5. Stamp, cut out and stick on Flower Stamp images from the Imagination Crafts Decoupage stamp sets and add other bits and pieces including string etc. 

6.  Paint the whole canvas with white acrylic paints. When the White paint is dry, brush over the canvas with Blue Adirondak ink.

I loved creating this project and it's a great way to use up all your bits and pieces to make a work of art to use as home decor.
