Altered Puzzle Piece and Tutorial

Hello everyone, today I want to show you an altered puzzle piece which I turned into a wall hanger. It always make a neat little present or give away. I had shown a little sneak last week already :)

I love the beautiful colours that I was able to create with my Gelatos.

I started with Gesso on my puzzle piece and colored it after drying with Gelatos:

I stamped my images and the sentiment on tissue paper and adhered it to the puzzle piece with napkin varnish.

I colored a piece of watercolor cardstock with the same Gelatos, added some shine with Perfect Pearls "Biscotti" and punched hydrangeas in different sizes.

I added some black dots with my Paper Pen:

I added the hemp cord with some brads and ready is my little gift :)

You can find the stamps here at the shop:

Mixed Media Canvas with the cute STAMPlorations Birdies :)

This little canvas has been sitting on my shelf since July, I just realized that I hadn't posted it on the blog yet. 

I used Gelatos for the background and a Dutch Dobadoo stencil for the circles. The beautiful birdies are from STAMPlorations, the words are from PI.

Hello there ♥

Good morning, crafty friends.

Before we all get into the annual hectic of creating Christmas cards, decorations and home decor, I decided to make a sunny and warm canvas.

I used Gelatos for the background and some Gesso with stencils, I stamped my giraffe and the sentiment on tissue. All done :)

Use Stencils on your project ♥

Challenge #191 at Use Your Stuff

I have chosen to use heart stencils on my project.

 

Since I know me and also the fact that I tend to cover a lot of my background, I show you what I started with, a canvas on which I used Gelatos and a heart stencil.

I added the birds from Darkroom Door and a sentiment from Crafty Impressions.

I mixed texture paste with distress ink "Wild Honey" and added some dots for more texture. I also randomly stamped with a sentiment stamp all over the canvas.

One of the little birds needed a goggle eye ;)

Have fun crafting, hope to see you here, where I can enjoy your creations ♥

Dare to dream a little dream ...

Hi everybody, I want to share with you a canvas card I created with my MOST favorite stamp from the Da Vinci Set.

Let me show you how I made this ...

I started with these items:

I cut a piece of 4 x 5½" of sticky canvas and applied some white Gesso. I didn't go all the way to the edges since the canvas will take colour better without the Gesso. I coloured with Gelatos in Salmon, Yellow and Green.

This is what it looks like when you water it down:

I sprinkled some salt to add texture, with the salt still on:

.... and brushed off:

While it tried I distressed the edges ...

 And that's when I stared goofing. I tried to add embossing paste with my Tim Holtz stencil and didn't realize that it wouldn't stick to my Gelato background :(

Ok, no harm done, I just washed it off, dried it again and used Peeled Paint Distress ink. (Sorry, no picture, too excited by my mistake)

I stamped my image on tissue and adhered it to the side of my canvas with just a bit of white Gesso underneath. I stamped my sentiment from the brand new "Affirmation" set and added it to my card.

A black panel underneath and glued to Soft Suede card stock. Ready :)

 

I hope you enjoyed my little tutorial. Make sure you stop over at the shop to look at all the beautiful new sets available ... also Christmas sets are available, also all new :)

Happy crafting ♥
