A Little Chic Fabulous .. Unity Blog Hop

Have I told you lately how much I LOVE Unity..

well just in case I haven't.. I am telling you now!!

Just take a look and you will know why..

 

CHIC Fabulous

this is a new kit being released today..

http://unitystampco.com/shop/chic-fabulous/

you get 2 large dress forms, one word, flower and leaf.. you can stamp them on a card..

use them on a layout, or do something even more

fabulous and stamp and apply them to canvas..

I inked these babies up on water colour paper.. then using my NeoColor crayons

I coloured them in with a fine tip paintbrush.. 

I then let dry and applied then on 6x6 thick canvases with gel medium.

( this is applying the gel medium on the canvas..

then the back of the water colour paper then on the front of the watered coloured art.)

 

here they are individually ...

I call this one LOVE.. my favourite word!!

 

Using modeling paste and the Christy Tomlinson's vintage lace mask I got a doily

effect for my background. then adding some random flowers from Petaloo and Pink Paislee

I used my Helmar 450 quick dry glue to adhere them on my canvas.. the LOVE background stamp

is Unity's Layers of Life { never ending story} kit. 

This one I called Fabulous...

Using the techniques as I did on the above canvas..

I love, love that you can do so many things with this kit..

They would make a great present for any girl.. or a fantastic decor item

for your home or office.

I heART Unity!! Just Sayin'

 

Every had one of those days when everything just goes perfect...

 Creative Bliss is what I call it..

Yesterday I had a day off work and wanted to make some cards for today's hop..

 well that changed into 4x4 canvas ART... more my passion ..

 I just LOVE these image I created for the May Kit of the MONTH..

 so beautiful for your canvases...

 

Here are the 2 Canvases I made..

 

Let the BEAUTY we LOVE be what we do... rumi

beautiful sentiment from this kit of the month.. paired with these Dalhia's  I designed.

the colour is so vibrant .. No it did not use water colours... I used my good copics to colour these..

I love how it just pops off the canvas.

 

It was stamped and coloured with copics and paper pieced and using gel medium  it was adhered onto the canvas.. that is why the image is so crisp. Using Textured Modeling Paste for defination..

and some Golden paint for the perfect blue background.

 

Then I could not stop at one.. so I made another.. same 4x4 size using the same copic technique

but the background is made with modeling paste and gelato's by Faber Castell... one of my favourite ways to add colour.. lots of drippage... I just love these dresses I created for the Kit of the Month..

I can't wait to hang this on my wall.  

Well this is the FABULOUS kit of the month for May 2014.. it is called

Unity Layers of Life July

Hi everyone.. I made this beautiful canvas art yesterday using Unity's Layers of Life July kit .

Love Truly ( Through Time) 

First I painted my background yellow and added a stencil with some white paint. Then using white tissue paper

 I inked up the stamps . Using my favourite inks Lady Bug red, Bahama Blue and Tuxedo Black by Momento 

I inked and stamped on one layer of tissue paper then using mod podge to adhere it to my canvas.. Because 

It is tissue paper you can layer it on top of each other and still see the full designs. Then I let that dry and

painted my focal image on top.

 

 

You cam become a member of the Layers of Life club here..

Have a great day...

Maybe you saw this on the Authentique Blog on Friday ,

I wanted to share it here on my blog as well and some other Projects I made for
 this special Handmade Holiday Blog Hop..

 

Merry
 

Now for some of my new Holiday AUTHENTIQUE Creations.

I decided to make some fun Christmas Canvas Art. Mixed Media style.

Adding stencils, mod podge, and tons of wonderful papers from

 Authentique's Peaceful collection.

These are all 6x6 canvas's perfect for displaying in your home Christmas decor even better for
that special Christmas gift you want to give this year..

Even the scarf and bird are from the papers..I just coloured them with my red copic marker

and paper pieced to fit my snowmen.  I added some textured paste with chunky glitter

to make the snow.. it turned out wonderfully. Then adding some 3D objects from my

Christmas wreath stash.. to add the Christmas Whimsy.

 

winter JOY

 

Here are some very basic and easy instructions.
1. get your canvas and cut out the size of papers you want to use. I have mine cut to the exact
size of my canvas. Adhere them with a decopauge medium. I used Mod Podge. let dry.
2. Using some textured paste a doily stencil and some paint to tint my textured paste.
add a little drop of paint to your textured paste, blend. place stencil or template on the covered
paper canvas , apply the textured paste, remove the stencil and let dry.
3. with a fiskars circle punch cut a 3 inch and a 2.5 inch circle for the body of your snowman.
paper piece a hat , scarf and hands, don't forget the nose.
distress these items, colour with inks or transparency paints on the items you want to have colour.
Adhere with mod podge. add bling for eyes and buttons. let dry.
4. take some textured paste, white paint and mix, add them to the areas you want to show snow.
add chunky glitter on top of snow , dab lightly with fingers and let dry.
5. add 3D decor items, add sticker words and letters . Add pearls of snowflakes.
6. Mod Podge everything and let dry.
you can repeat these steps for all your canvas's, just cut different images to use.
 

You can see how amazing the sides look using the paper instead of just painting it.

 

Here is another Canvas Art piece I made.. this time making a layered fringe Christmas tree.

adding the textured paste to the fringe for snow. 

This is also a great way to add some of Authenique's Stickers.. you can lightly colour the image if you like.. I did just that with the pine and birds in the quote.
 Everything was sealed with Mod Podge.

 

My third Canvas.. was basically the same as the first.. just a different snowman with a different

scarf and hat. .. can you tell my house it filled with Snowmen??.. I just love them.

I also love the 12x8 sticker sheets using the letters to make my title on the snowman canvas's.

 

frosty LOVE

 

 

 

I hope you enjoyed my handmade Canvas ART .. give it a try these papers from the Peaceful Collection are just wonderful for this type of mixed media art..
