Hi,

Today I'm posting a mixed media canvas I did for my friend Chris.
Iwanted to do this as she suffers from M.E. and sometimes struggles with day to day things due to her illness.  However she always keeps a brave face and is almost always smiley and happy.  She is a great friend to me and I did this so she could hang it in her craft room.  Hopefully it will cheer her up on the more gloomy days.  

I am  entering it into a challenge on Limor Webbers Blog which has to include a recycled house hold item.  I have used the ribbon end fluffy fused end of the netting that comes on fruit and used it as the fluffy looking centre of the large flower ( I died it and the ribbon with alcohol Inks).  Also I used the middle of a toilet roll to die cut the letters.  

I used gesso, acrylics, rub ons stamps, multimedium, inks, alcohol inks and papers etc.
I would have tried to get some unity stamps as they look great but it was too late by the time I saw the challenge.

Go to limors great blog she is very talented and has loads of you tube videos you can check out.  The link is http://chicscrapbookdesigns.blogspot.ca/2012/09/august-mixed-media-contest-winner-and.html

Hi crafty friends,
 

 

This is a mixed media canvas I made using some Visible image stamps.  It's great fun to do and using a minimum of materials you can create a beautiful image to go on your wall or give as a gift. Make it with a childs name for their room or a wedding version with a blank frame so the couple can add a photo of their choice to hang up as a keepsake.  There are so many options.!!!

The videos are up on my you tube channel and I hope you will try one.  You could even make a christmas version to hang up as a decoration.  I know visible image have some great xmas stamps.
Here are the photos of the canvas......and the links to the video tutorials are here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TJ_y_kUcQ-A&feature=plcp and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PofFmyeMKXo&feature=plcp
