Floral canvas.....

Hi everyone! 

I want to share a canvas that I painted recently.

I found this YouTube Floral Landscape video tutorial for beginners, by Angela Anderson
 and I loved the colors and the ease so I had to try it! 

You can find the video HERE

And my canvas.....

I wish I could get a photo without the glare but this is the best one of the lot that I took!

In the video I believe she used an 8x10 canvas, 

I wanted something bigger because I wanted to hang it on my kitchen wall so I used a 14x18 canvas.

I have to say doing this painting was sooooo much fun

and 

it looks wonderful on my orange/rusty kitchen wall! 

It makes me smile every time I walk in there and see it!

*****

Hope you all are enjoying some great weather 

and some crafty inspiration!

Lovely Lady Gecko Galz DT project...

Good morning everyone!

My DT project for Gecko Galz is another simple card.

I'm not sure if it's because of the cold I had for far too long or what

 but I seem to be in a simple mode with my cards lately.

Here is my card.....

I cut the template for the card then added the background paper to the center and some shimmery black cardstock to the end pieces.

I added the corrugated paper that was inked with dusty attic ink by Ingval Bolme.

I used pop dots to add the matted image on top.

I used my perfect layers rulers to cut the mat.

I finished it off with the pearl button,

seam binding bow..made with my bind-it-all

and 

a couple of I-rock gems to the flower centers on the background paper.

Gecko Galz DT project.....

Good morning everyone!

My Gecko Galz DT project today is a quick little card.

The background paper is from Heartfelt Creations.

The image is from the Mary Pickford collage sheet also at Gecko Galz.

I layered them with a piece of black cardstock and used my Perfect Layers Rulers to make the great matts.

I cut a piece of doily for the top of the card.

I used a piece of velvet ribbon that I cut for a banner, below the pop dotted image

and topped it with a bow made on my bow-it-all.

Thanks for visiting!
