Witchy Canvas & New Set

I have another canvas project for you today. This one is a little different because I used the Witches Brew Designer Series Paper for my focal point. This sheet of paper has several blocks of words that you could use to make a collage of canvases to display for Halloween.

I created this one the same way as my Christmas Tree canvas. I applied the paper to my canvas with Modge Podge, stamped some fun images from the Halloween Hello stamp set with Black Stazon, added the Witches Brew Designer Washi Tape, a button and some bling!

Did you know that you can color your Basic Rhinestones and Pearls? I colored these rhinestones with an orange Sharpie Marker to coordinate with the Halloween theme. Before you remove the rhinestones or pearls from the paper backing, just choose a color to match your project, color, let dry a bit, then apply! I love these great little gems. I love them even more colored!

If you're looking for another Halloween stamp set to complete your projects, check out this super spooky new Photopolymer Set ~ Bite Me! I'm not crazy about spiders, but I really like this spider web. I just might be able to make myself stamp these silly little things on a project.
I hope you enjoyed today's project. If you have any questions about how to create these fun canvases let me know.

Another Addiction!

Well friends, here is another project that once you make one, you'll definitely want to make more! During our Living a Creative Life class at Convention, Carrie Cudney presented a super fun Halloween canvas that she created using mixed media. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to try it. Well, today I finally got to it. I Love it!

I started with a white 6x6 canvas purchased at my local craft store. I liked the primitive look of Carrie's project and wanted to keep that theme. I thought a Christmas tree would be an easy image to start with. I used the Season of Style Designer Series Paper from the Holiday Catalog, cut into strips to form my tree.

As I was laying out my design, I thought how cute would it be to put a ruffle at the bottom of the tree. After I tried it, I thought how cute would it be to put a ruffle between each layer! I used the Baked Brown Sugar 3/8" Ruffle Stretch Trim. This trim comes in all the great new In-Colors.

I made the trunk of the tree using the "bark" paper from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit, also found in the Holiday Catalog. I inked the edges of all the paper strips and added some faux stitching to keep with the primitive look.

I am totally addicted to these adorable canvases. I have all kinds of images running around in my head that I want to try. I can't wait to make more!
