Stamperia Seaworld Mixed Media Canvas

Stamperia Seaworld Mixed Media Canvas
PIER 9


I used a canvas from an acrylic painting I did at an evening wine and paint group. Great fun to do with friends but not much learnt about actual painting!!.  

I used acrylic paint to create a rust effect around the sides of the canvas.


 I then covered the front of the canvas with scrapbook paper that had a rust effect.

I distressed the edges and coloured with rusty hinge distress ink.

 I then used stamperia  scrapbook paper. I punched out one of the portholes and layered it onto card to create a raised frame.


I die cut cogs and painted them with rust paint.  


I cut out three images of the diver from stamperia paper and decoupaged him to create depth.  
I stencilled some rust paint through an industrial looking design onto the paper.  I then layered up the cogs, die cut plants and the diver.

I used elements from the stamperia papers to create a frame around the picture.  These were layered on card to create depth.

Shells we're made from lightweight using a silicone mould clay and painted before being added to the scene


I also used cheesecloth dyed with distress inks and texture paste to make the seabed.


Some die cut fish and wording were also added.

Twist and pop card

Twist and Pop Card  Hunkydory Paws for Thought It is worth doing a practice card so you can get the folds and construction right before making a card with your best stash. There are some great youtube clips showing how to make this card.  There are several ways to make the pop and fold mechanism.  I found this the easiest for me - but you may find another method  suits you better.  I adjusted the size of the pop and fold to accommodate the little cat panels from the hunkydory paws for thought cat and kittens luxury card kit. These are my instructions and sizes: Start with a 7" square card          Matt both sides of the inside of the card with patterned paper.                                  To make the pop and fold mechanism cut two pieces of card 10" x 3.5".  This works best with a lighter weight card. ...

Expecto patronum shadow box

                                 Harry Potter Expecto Patronum Shadow Box Picture I have recently bought the sizzix forest frame die and the doe reminded me of Snapes patronus guiding Harry to the sword of Gryffindor in the woods.   I used it in a shadow box and then also made a similar shadow box using Harry's stags patronus instead of the doe.  To make the shadow boxes you need the following: 12 X 12 paper or thin card to make the frame.  Pearlescent gold card Pearlescent white card Fun foam Backing paper  Distress Ink Sizzix thinlits 661744 Forest frame die Tree trunk die Tattered lace Alphabet die Tattered lace Stag Die Hunkydory Owl Die Wand die Needle and thread die docrafts Making the shadow box  I  strongly  recommend that you make up one of the shadow boxes as a practice run  first. It is a bit f...

December ATC swap

Image
  December 23 ATC swap.  Theme Christmas Music / Songs.   No tutorial this month as forgot to take photos and these were quite simple to make.  Base of ATC cards (3.5" x 2.5") are cut from green card.   Cut some music paper from an old 6 x 6 vintage Christmas pad just slightly smaller than the ATC.   Distressed the edges and then went around the edges with distress ink before gluing onto the ATC.    Layered a thin hessian ribbon, green cheesecloth and a strip of red card across the ATC.   Die cut musical instruments from gold card and musical notes from black card.  Glued these on as shown.  Decorated with die cut Holly leaves, red snowflakes and pearl berries. Also made a mini shadow box card to show off one of the ATCs.
