Personalized Child Room Decor on Canvas

Hello! Peggy here to show you how I made this personalized wall piece. 
We are partnering with Latina Crafter this month so I thought I would incorporate their stamps with some clay. 
Today's supplies include: 
Die (optional)
Acrylic Paints
Alcohol Inks
Gold rub and buff
Patterned Paper 
Blue Cardstock
Paint Brush
Canvas
Tape or Matte Medium
Clay
Glue
Cutting Blade

I started with my focal image. I flattened a piece of clay to fit the size of my stamp. I pressed my stamp into my clay to make an impression. Next I used a die to press into my clay and cut around it with and x-acto knife for a nice frame around my image. 

 I also cut some squares and rectangles and stamped the sentiments into the clay with the same method as above. I also used a ruler to make impressions and played with the clay to make embellishments. Next it was time to bake. After baking and fully cooling I chose the pallet of paints I was going to use. Teal, Purple and Pink.
 After I painted everything with Acrylic paints it was time to eBrush my background papers with some stencils from Latina Crafter. I used my siphon with blue alcohol inks to create this background. I sprayed two sheets of light blue Cardstock to fit my canvas and glued them down with matte medium
 
 I placed all my pieces down where I wanted them and proceeded to glue them down to my canvas with E6000 glue. Here is my result. I hope you have enjoyed my tutorial and check out Latina Crafter Stamps and Stencils!


Have a Great Day!!

Latina Crafter and the Ebrush Siphon Easel Card


Hello Crafty One's!  Today I would like to show you how I made this Owl-dorable easel card. 
Supplies used today are: 
Dies/Scissors
Ink Pad (Versamark)
Alcohol or Blending Solution
Alcohol Ink
Mixed Media Metallic Powders
Embossing Powder
Spectrum Noir Markers
3D Crystal Lacquer 
Paint Brush
Craft Heat Gun
Cardstock
Embellishments
Foam Dots
Double Sided Tape

Our Sponsor this month is Latina Crafter who's fabulously cute stencils and stamps are to die for!

I started with my main stamped image from the "Some Birdies Birthday" line and I stamped with Versamark ink so I could emboss with clear embossing powder mixed with the Mixed Media Metallic Sapphire Blue powder and heat set with my craft heat gun.
I colored my main image with a new product on the market called Mixed Media Metallic Powders. 
I used 3D Crystal Lacquer and mixed it with the powders to create a metallic paint.  I finished coloring the image with Spectrum Noir Markers. 

Gathering my materials to use with my eBrush and Siphon, below you can see
  • my alcohol solution 90% alcohol
  • alcohol ink
both of these were mixed together. I filled the jar that came with my siphon half way and I added about 5-7 drops of blue alcohol ink.
Also pictured below are my siphon adapter from Craftwell USA that fits my eBrush and the Mixed Media Powders. 
Using my siphon and eBrush I sprayed a background on white cardstock using the stencil line from Latina Crafter.  I hate to measure .. I admit it.. So this card size was based on the size of the background stencil.  I built up layers of cardstock starting with my background.  
 After my main image was ready and background sprayed it was time to think about the sentiment.
With the set of stamps was a single line of sentiment which I cut in half and when I applied it to my acrylic block I curved and shaped the stamp half on the top and half on the bottom.
 I used a white piece of card stock for the sentiment which I sprayed with my eBrush, siphon and background stencil to match my background. I used a scalloped die to cut my sentiment out.  Next I  used embossing ink and powder on the edges. I mixed with the Mixed Media powders to create a metallic glossy edge. I stamped my sentiment in Memento Ink.

Then it was time to layer and put it all together. I chose colors to enhance my image. I have three different colors of complimentary card stock. I layered my card top first before making the bottom part of the easel (this predicted the size of my bottom.) I measured a piece of cardstock the same length of my top plus four inches.  I used the extra four inches to make the "A" fold in the easel. I scored twice at two inch intervals. I could then fold on the scored lines and create an  easel and I attached my top card

 To embellish I chose ribbon, buttons and thread. Now for the bottom of the easel I needed a background piece to match and bring in the pattern from the top to the bottom.  I used clear embossing powder mixed with MM powders to create the cloud background. I placed the stencil on the light blue card stock and with my versamark ink pad I pressed onto the stencil creating a water mark of clouds. I spread the mixed embossing powder over the watermark and heat set with my heat tool.  I layered card stock again for the bottom.  Next I needed a place to sign the card so I used a die to cut out a piece of card stock.. but not any card stock.. I used the packaging that came with my stamps because it was so stinkin cute!
 I propped up the main image, the sentiment and the signing area with pop dots/foam dots
