Purple room & a canvas wall hanging...

Good morning everyone!

My daughter has been wanting to change the color of her room for a little while now so after getting back from vacation we headed to the store for some paint.

So she went from this.....

Green with blue splatter!

To.....

Pretty Purple

She glittered her outlet covers!

They look great in there!

I made the canvas above for her, using the Sugar Skulls stamps from 

Treasured Times Stamps & Scrapbooking.

A close up of the stamp below.....

I colored the stamps with Spectrum Noir markers.

The flowers were a rose color...I sprayed them with 

dylusions-crushed grape-ink spray.

The black demask was done with a mask and some glossy heavy gel tinted with black acrylic paint.

I added lace, plaster patch tape, and bling trims from my stash.

The grunge board letters were sprayed with 

Cranberry Adirondack Color Wash 

and I added glossy accents on top.

Dragonfly card

Good morning everyone!

Today I have another Gecko Gals DT project to show you.

Once again, I used the Darling Dragonflies collage set.

Here is my card...

I started with a card blank that I stamped randomly with some Tim Holtz stamps.

I used walnut stain distress ink for the stamps 

and vintage photo distress ink on the edges of everything.

The two background papers I used are

one..from Vanity Fair paper pkg

and two...(striped) from Life is a Circus paper pkg.

I also used the alphabet image from the Ephemera Days collage set

and the clock from Time Flies...

also from Gecko Galz.

In the above image you can see that I used pop dots on several layers.

You can also see that I tied the twine around and tucked the bow under the clock.

Below is a look at the dragonfly that I added glitter to.

(Dreams from Art Glitter)

Below is another look at my layers as well as my

 key ribbon from my stash 

and the netting trim from Really Reasonable Ribbon.

Dragonfly wallhanging

Good afternoon everyone!

I want to show you one of my Gecko Galz DT projects I put together this morning.

One of the new collage sets this month is 

Darling Dragonflies

and they are so darling I couldn't wait to play with them!

Here is my wall hanging...

I started with a coaster that I painted with pitch black paint dabber.

The background paper is called Peanuts & Popcorn from 

The Life is a Circus paper pkg 

also from Gecko Galz.

I stamped it with a couple of Tim Holtz stamps 

and lightly dabbed the edges with the pitch black paint dabber.

Below is a close up...

I sprayed the rose trim and the burlap ribbon with 

Lindy Stamp Gangs Fuzzy Navel Peach starburst spray.

I also used the spray to brush along the edges to give the black edging a bit of sparkle.

My dragonfly was glued onto a piece of grunge paper then fussy cut.

I added a few different glitter glues for sparkle.

To finish it off I added a mini hanger and my piece of sprayed burlap ribbon,

 from Really Reasonable Ribbon.
