Hello and welcome to my blog showcasing today is

Craftwell USA eBrush and this months sponsor Bella Blvd.

Supplies used today are: 

Bella Blvd. Just Add Color Line

eBrush by Craftwell USA

Extra thick chipboard

Binding method (Bind it all)

Sharpies

Coin envelopes

 card: card base 

I  gathered my materials including some chipboard and two coin envelopes. Out of the cut papers i created tags using Treasures and Text from the Just Add Color collection. 

 I chose a color swatch of circles to gather my color selection of sharpies. 

 Then i just let my imagination go. i colored the sections all differently with coordinating colors that match the line.

 Once all papers were sprayed and colored I glued them with mod podge to the chipboard and envelopes. I sealed the envelopes and trimmed off the long edge creating two pockets.

 I bound my chipboard pages and envelopes with my bind it all but you can chose to bind in many different anyways. Google is a great source for binding methods. 

 I slipped my tags inside the two pockets so just the tops peeked out. This little photo album is going to looks great with some black and white photo's planned for the inside!

 I used post it notes to cover the letters I did not want to spray with my eBrush just in case any overspray.

 Here is my matching card. I had left over eBrushed paper so I made this quick card using Bella Blvd. fabulous line. 

I hope you enjoyed today's tutorial and come check out Craftwell USA products!

eBrush and Bella Blvd. Partner up for a Canvas

Hello, Peggy here to show you how I made this 8x10 canvas using Bella Blvd papers and embellishments and my eBrush by Craftwell USA.

This month we are partnering up with Bella Blvd and their fantastic line of Just Add Color.

Supplies used today are:

Canvas

Gesso

Old paint brushes

Stencils

Sharpie Markers

Glue

I prepared my canvas with white gesso as this canvas was not already done for me. 

Gesso will give the surface "tooth" for the paint to grip onto and help keep the paint on the surface rather than leak through. 

First I placed my sentiment/words using stickers from the Bella Blvd. line. I spelled out "ART SPLATTERS". Then I made my background with stencils using my eBrush from Craftwell USA. 

I used sharpie markers and randomly placed my stencils to cover much of the white space. I used three different stencils to fill the background in and  I used three shades of blue and green.

Next I used my eBrush to create some splatter marks (I love this effect and I use it often).  I held my eBrush really close to the canvas and sprayed in one spot and let the air take the ink across the surface using green and yellow sharpies.  I also wanted to create some circles and I used white gesso with lids/caps from various bottles on my desk. I dipped them into the gesso and placed them onto my canvas.

Then it was time to get some Bella Blvd. goodness onto my canvas. I cut the 12x12 papers from the Just Add Color line to fit my 8x10 canvas leaving a quarter inch all around and creating a frame. 

I tore some paper and glued them down. I colored some cut out flowers from the collection and sprayed them with my eBrush with yellow sharpies to match my color scheme. 

I had some old paint brushes that were as hard as a rock so instead of throwing them away I glued them down! I made them co-ordinate by dipping the tips in yellow paint.  I used the stickers from Bella Blvd to give the eye more to look at and make my canvas more interesting. Finally it was time to add some dimension to my letters and I used black, and yellow sharpies to trace around my letters.

 

I now have a canvas for my art room/studio. And yes.. Art Splatters just as much as Art Matters.. lol 

Thank you for taking the time to view my post today. 

I hope everyone had a great weekend and I will see you next Monday!
