Berry71Bleu - Christmas Tags

Happy Hello Friends and Merry Christmas! (To those who celebrate)

 

Today I'm sharing my last post as a design team member for Berry71bleu......I had much fun on the team and can't believe how fast time flew by!   I was strapped for time on this project because I've been extremely busy at work....Luckily I had one day off this past week to fit my project in for this post!  I figured I'd create some "festive and fancy" tags to add to the Christmas packages this year.

I added some stenciling and misting to plain white card stock.....

I stuck with the color scheme in this months mood board and added some scroll details as seen in the photo of the Christmas ornament.....

 

Denise is hosting this month's challenge and below is some beautiful rich festive colors and details to be inspired by!

BERRY71BLEU - PICTURE PERFECT

Happy Hello Friends!

 

Today it's my turn to share my take on this month's beautiful challenge hosted by Sylwia!  I decided not to add a vintage photo but I used the gorgeous vintage style paper "Cozy Christmas" sponsored by Riddersholm Design.  I added hints of the minty aqua color as seen in this month's vintage inspired mood board.....

I added some stamp work using white acrylic paint to accent the delicate swirl details in the paper....

Since this was a winter theme page I wanted to add some shimmery highlights.....I added chucky glitter and very fine glitter.

Below is the beautiful inspirational mood board!

MONARCH - BERRY71BLEU

Happy Hello Friends!

 

Popping in to share my take on this month's "Leaves in Layers" Challenge for Berry71Bleu and I thought it's a perfect time to create something "Autumn" inspired! 

Well I didn't actually layer leaves but I layered the beautiful diamond shaped chippies supplied by Creative Embellishments "click here" - This month's  design team sponsor! Thank you!

I added stamp work in the shape of diamonds - A very COOL stamp from "Creative Embellishments"  I just dab my finger in the paint and tap it against the stamp....If I get too much paint on the stamp I put the excess on used paper....I didn't add paper or fabric leaves but I did add some to the left of the page using a bright yellow paint....

 

 

 

 The beautiful moodboard below shows lush leaves full of rich colors!
I wanted to incorporate the below colors in to my project .....I can't believe October is almost over!

 

.  Creative Embellishments is sponsoring the design team this month with some gorgeous chipboard, rubber stamps and more......

DISTRESSED ABSTRACT FEATHER - CANVAS CORP BRANDS

Happy Hello Friends!

 

Today I'm sharing a mixed media canvas using various Canvas Corp Brands Products......

 

I started by drawing a simple feather on to the canvas....

 

 

When I finished drawing the feather I took various Tattered Angels sprays and started adding color......I diluted some areas with water...(spray bottle)

I added orange rope to the feather by unraveling it and adhering it with glue after I was done spraying on color.  I felt the canvas needed more texture so I decided to use my palette knife and add gel medium around the feather.....

Once that dried I loaded on the Tattered Angels "High Impact Paint"....It was a messy process and I waited until it dried and added layers until I achieved the look I was going for....(distressed/weathered)

I added some beads from my bead stash.....

 

The supplies I used for this project:

It's all about the kids!! Canvas Corp Brands - Halloween

Happy Hello Friends!

 

Today I'm sharing a fun and simple Halloween project I created for Canvas Corp Brands!

 

This weekend the Halloween parade runs by our home so I wanted to create some goody bags for the kids -  I decided to wrap some of the chocolate nuggets and crackers with some Canvas Corp Brands Halloween papers....

I used one sheet of the small diamond paper to wrap one lb. of candy nuggets!

I cut thin strips approximately 3/4 inch wide.....

 

 I added black card stock behind each tag to make the image pop against the Kraft paper bag background.....

 

 

Here is the supplies I used for this project:

 

Canvas Corp Brands Products

Haunt It - Tags

Haunt It - Orange and Black Stitched Diamonds

Haunt It - On Kraft

Haunt It - Small Diamonds

Black Cord

Natural Hemp Rope
