PaperArtsy Love Mini Pallet

I created this Valentine's mini pallet (Maya Road) using PaperArtsy Emma Godfrey stamps and paints and Archival Inks. To finish it off I covered the heart in Tattered Angels Glitter Glam glitter paint.  I was inspired to enter the PaperArtsy challenge by this post by Tracy Scott.

 I took some pictures along the way of the process. Here they are. 

Embroidery Hoop Home Decor

I created this pretty wall hanging from the left over supplies in my fun Canvas Corp Brands box full of crafty goodies that I got for last month's Mixed Media Monthly Challenge. I had colored their a page of their awesome Tattered Angels "Blooms" Mixed Media Origins Collection Paper with their Glimmer Mists. I just dipped my paint brush in to the container. It worked perfectly. No pilling or warping of the this heavy duty paper. It was so much fun to color with my brush. 

I found this embroidery hoop and put some Natural Canvas from Canvas Corp Brands in it. Then I fussy cut the rose and bulbs out of the Origins paper and adhered them to the canvas with Ranger Glue & Seal. Then I used a hot glue gun to glue down a ring of Hot Pink Hemp Rope Cord around the edge of the hoop. I love how the cord matched the color of the Pink Poodle Glimmer Mist so well. 

This was a fun and easy project. I really didn't know how I would use the images on the Origins paper and then I thought of this. It was a perfect solution. Thanks for stopping by!!

5 for 5 Easter Blog Event - Day 2

Hello and welcome to Day 2 of our new 5 for 5 Easter Blog Event!  Each day our designers will post an Easter project based on that day’s theme. Today’s theme is Pink and Lavender! Some of us are even offering prizes, so be sure to leave comments on each of links below and visit all the blogs for details on how to win! 

To make my card I started out with a 5x5 square of lavender basket weave paper from Anna Griffin. I colored the bunny from Reverse Confetti Stamps with Copics. Then, I decided to try out cutting felt on my new Brother Crafter Scan N Cut. It worked like a charm. So, I cut out some eggs in different colors of pink and purple, then I decided to cut out a border from pink felt. I added a silver doily from Studio Calico, cut a rounded square from pink felt and cut the words out of paper with my Scan n Cut. The words were in the Scan N Cut software, I just resized them. 

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to visit the blog of the other awesome designers taking part in our Easter 5 for 5 Event. Check back tomorrow for Day 3 which will be full of crafty fun and inspiration.
