LDRS Creative and Faber-Castell Blog Hop Team UP!



Tammy Louise today joining the LDRS Creative and Faber-Castell Blog Hop Team Up!


I've altered a notebook today showing you how wonderful the colors from Faber-Castell can work together.  First I used Gesso on two stretched canvases and the notebook front and back.  Then the 102 Stencil Collection for texture with Copper colored texture Luxe paste.  I used the Steam Punk Gelatos to color my project, right over the texture.  Sprayed water allowing the color to drain downward and completely coat the canvas's and Notebook. The Pitt Gold pen splashed around in spots using the stencil tool and used the Walnut Brown Pitt Calligraphy pen to write the word dream in the film roll.


Time to embellish using some fabulous products from LDRS Creative like the Dewdrop Circle cut in half, the Best Friends Sentiment, the Gilded Labels die under the resin bodice and then the accent die from the Gilded Ovals die.  All of the dies were coated in Gesso and Gelatos, then glued in place.  I dropped a few drops of Tim Holtz Airondack alcohol ink onto some Tim Holtz acrylic fragments and glued them over the sentiment and in the bottom corner of the canvas.  The Prima ribbon flower embellishment was glued down and tied then the Blueberry Swirls Clock Cutout was colored, cut in half for the binding side of the book and the project was done!!   
  




The Texture Luxe colors and Gelatos blended so well creating dreamy layers of pinks and Golds.  The more color you add, the richer your project looks.
Hugs,
Until Next time!

Simple and Elegant Holiday Tags with LDRS Creative Dies

The Season is upon us!  Today I've decided to put a personal touch to my gifts this year.  I was delighted to find how easy it was to customize some beautiful and elegant tags with the Dewdrop Circle die set!   
 I've combined some wonderful silver holiday tags with a decorated vellum.  Rounded off the corners and added some ribbon  Building the center up with the Dewdrop dies and embossing with the LDRS Christmas sentiment in the center.  Oh!  I almost forgot, with the smaller die, I cut into some thick stock paper and made a PERFECT hole stabilizer while adding another silver little touch to the project!!  A few flowers and the tag is complete.  Watch a quick You Tube Video Tutorial 

INGREDIENTS: 
Recollections Paper
Vellum


 MEDIUMS: 
Momento black ink

Little Special Bear



Good Morning Little Bear!  OMG!  I need one of these lush little hoods with the bear ears!  Isn't she just adorable? She's part of the 3rd Quarter release at LDRS Creative formerly Little Darlings Rubber Stamps!  You'll want to stop by soon and get yourself some of the wonderfully illustrated images for as little as $2.99!!
Today's card is a bi-fold with the Dewdrop Border die added to the bottom of the card!  It adds just enough flourish to the card don't you think?  Then I threaded through the extra little holes and added buttons to add a bit of bling to the die!    I've used the smaller square die from the Darling Square Die set to add some layers and a doily just behind it.  Another die used is the sentiment Dew drop circle that's included in the Dewdrop Circle set.  I used the LDRS Creative Vintage Affections Sentiment set called LOVE and the Green pigment ink added was the perfect touch of color to the left of the card right along with the flower vine die from the Darling Square Die set!

Whimsical Moments


Video Tutorial to follow on my You Tube channel





































Happy Sunday!  I'm certainly enjoying the mixed media on canvas craze!  It's such a messy, inky and forgiving artistic outlet for me.  You literally can't make a mistake!  There is no limit to the possibilities with embellishments, techniques and color!  


Today, I've made a very whimsical canvas that includes stamping, acrylic paint, buttons, bobbles, texture past and templates!  However, the best thing about today's project is that I've chosen to include some of my favorite die cuts as a center piece!  That's right!  I could go out and purchase loads of chipboard collections (of which I may like one or two pieces from) or I could use my favorite die cuts!  


I simply cut more than one of the dies and glue them together to create my equivalent of chipboard!  It's so fun and limitless in the range of possibilities!   




INGREDIENTS: 

Vintage Affections Sentiment Enchanted Wishes
Craft Paper for die cuts and corrugated board
DCWV template, The Crafters Workshop mini butterflies template, Heidi Swapp stencil 

This project turned out like a dreamy super lush memory from childhood.  You know the kind that you are most fond of?  It's springy and full of texture, color and movement.


 MEDIUMS: 

Acrylic Paints
Gesso heavy white
Texture Paste
Tattered Angels glitter spray
Studio G Pigment Ink, liquid pearls, beads in a bottle
Inka Gold in pink and silver


JUST LOOK AT ALL THIS TEXTURE!  YUM!


 EMBELLISHMENTS: 

The little Craft shop Etsy store for butterflies, stick pins and pearl accent
Make It Crafty chipboard
bits and bobs from stash including lace and gears
Whimsy Stamps flowers
WOC flowers


INSPIRATIONAL THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:

The miracle is this, the more we share; the more we have
Leonard Nemoy

I hope I've inspired you all today to get out your inks (even old acrylic paints you could use in dollar store spray bottles like mine).  Enjoy the textures, the combination of inks, the creativity of design and most of all, the smile you get when you're done!
