Marleen DT - Hochanda Samples

Hey Bloggers..

Thank you for popping by..

Today Im sharing my samples from Bev's recent show on Hochanda.

She introduced the FASHIONettes. Something a bit different then what Bev normally bring to Hochanda. But by god, did they go down a treat. I love these girlies and it was lovely to get back to colouring again. Something I dont do much of anymore.

Here is my samples from the show:

 A5 card

 Canvas

 Masking tecnique on canvas paper

 Circle ArtBoards

 MDF Tag

 Mixed Media canvas Board

 Im not the only one who love these ladies.. My 6 year old, Abbie, loves joining me when my BeeCrafty stamps come out. She dreams of one day getting her cards on TV

 A5 card

 A5 card made with Brusho. I wanted to show that these girls CAN be used even if your not into/ new to colouring.

 6x6 card on distress background. I wanted to show that these girls CAN be used even if your not into/ new to colouring.

I also coloured in these girls and sent to Bev. They were simply as a back up for her if they were needed. Im no colourist and I mainly colour with water pencils. These girls are so easy to colour as each area is not too small and not too big. 

And that is all from me for today.
 Thanks for popping by and for any comments left behind.

Dont forget to come visit me on FaceBook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, Youtube or my FB page.
 Happy Crafting

Kerrie DT - Decision To Try... - Mixed Media Canvas

Hiya and Welcome to my Monday Post for Bee Crafty Stamps

Today I am sharing with you a recent make for one of the Hochanda Shows that I have not Blogged about before... my Mixed Media Canvas

The Bee Crafty Products I used on this project are...

Art Canvas

Inkables Template - 6" Square

Inkables Template - 4" Heart

Style Wire Borders

Textures - Lines & Dots

WORDage - Decision To Try (Large)

First I covered the canvas with white gesso, Once dry, I trimmed a piece of old music from a piano book and glued this to the canvas and then painted over again using white gesso. I made sure that the gesso was applied thinly so that the music notes could still be seen. Next I painted over with a coat of Magnolia Chalky Paint and left to dry fully.

On a piece of thin corrugated card I drew around the inside and outside of  the 6" Square Inkables Template which I then cut out to create a frame, I covered this frame using music score paper and then I used filler to seal in the corrugated edges and painted over a coat of white gesso. Once dry I painted over the frame again using Mink Chalky Paint and left to dry fully.

Once both pieces were fully dry I used a strong white glue to stick the frame to the canvas at a jaunty angle. I then used filler through the 4" Heart Inkables Template to place hearts inside and outside of the frame and around the canvas. I used a heat gun to speed up the drying process so that I could then paint the Hearts using Damson Chalky Paint.

Next I stamped the Style Wire Border around the edges of the frame, and the Lines & Dots Texture onto the canvas. I then stamped the Decission To Try WORDage onto white cardstock, which I then cut the scetions of the sentiment out, backed them with dark gold mirror board and attached to the canvas inside the frame using a hot glue gun spreading the words out over the space. I picked out some paper flowers, wooden buttons and metal embellishments (one being a little Bee for Bee Crafty... just cause I can) I fixed them into opposite corners of the frame using a hot glue gun.

To seal and varnish the project I painted over everything using Mod Podge.
