I've had this paper mache pumpkin in my stash for at least of couple of years! I knew I would need it one day.....I started by giving it a coat of white gesso, before spritzing it with Daffodil Baseboard paint. Love the way the paint drips look.

Next I painted  the top and also the bottom of the pumpkin with Orange High Impact Paint, and left to dry.

I used one of the new Glimmer Mists in Golden Lime to add the greenery to the top of the pumpkin, making sure there were pools of the mist, so that as I dried it with a heat tool, the Glimmer Mist would melt into the pain below, and bubble would form, just like the texture on a real pumkin. Love this effect.

I love the burlap bunting that Canvas Corp Brands make. It's double sided and stitched around the edge, so very sturdy to work on. You can use loads of product, and it keeps it's shape really well. I gave it a coat of white gesso, dried it off and then added splashes of the Daffodil Baseboard Paint.

No I don't like things that look too clean, I love a vintage look to my projects, so using Black High Impact Paint on my work mat, I used the paint pot lid to create circles randomly. I love the thicker splodges, and again when I heat dried these, bubbles formed.

I added a piece of Ephemera from the Rouge Salvage Pack from the Architextures range, along with black sequins and some paper raffia, in a straw colour. And to hang the piece two black shower rings with clips on.

Really love the way these turned out, and they are ow added to my fall home decor.

Happy Valentine's

Just dropping by to share a little love and wish everyone a Happy Valentines Day with a very CAS card created using some of the dies from Eileen Hull's Sizzix Book Club Two collection which is due out this Summer.

I decided to colour the hearts using Glimmer Mist's, I was going to add a little gold glitter, but in the end decided it didn't need anymore, the shimmer from the mist was just perfect as it was.

I spread the hearts and the frame out on some copy paper, and spritzed them with a mixture of Marmalade and Merlot Gold Glimmer Mists, both are gorgeous colours, and well I may as well make some background papers at the same time :)
 

Then after moving everything off the copy paper, popped the word "love" on there so I could spritz that with my new favourite shade Afraid of the Dark.

So now I have backing papers ready to make journal pages, and the heart frame coloured to create with at a later date, along with the left over coloured hearts.  To finish off I added the hearts and word onto a C6 card blank, so simple to create, but very effective.

Happy Crafting

Canvas Corp Brands Junk Journal Workshop at Rowan Tree Crafts, Carnforth, UK.

I was so excited to have made the Canvas Corp Brands Crew 2018 as I love all the brands which are under the CCB umbrella, Canvas Corp Brands, 7gypsies and Tattered Angels. So you can imagine how excited I was when Sharon at Rowan Tree Crafts in Carnforth told me she was now stocking the brands and invited me to demo at their open day on Saturday 3rd March. I can't wait to share all the fun stuff Canvas Corp make.

And if you too are a fan of the brand, how about joining me at Rowan Tree Crafts to create a Seaside themed Junk Journal on Saturday 19th May.

We will be working with lots of gorgeous Seaside themed papers and fabrics to create a journal to hold your summer memories and treasures in.

So if you fancy a fun day out, check the Workshops section over at Rowan Tree Crafts to book.

Hope to see you there.
