Hey Roadies! Hope your summer (or winter?!) is going well. It's pretty hot here where I am, so it's fun to stay in and craft when the heat index is over 100 degrees!
I have a card for you today using a lot of Maya Road goodies, including a piece from a canvas mini album!
This is a rather large card, 5x7 inches, but it gives you a base with plenty of room to create with. I started by covering the card base with a sheet of pattern paper trimmed 4.75 x 6.75 inches. Then I went to work altering my Canvas Pendant Banner piece. You could do this with any of the canvas pieces, the heart or the star also.
I covered the canvas with a thin layer of gesso, mainly because most of what I was working with was colored white, not ivory! Using washi tape, placed a stencil over it, taping the stencil tightly down. I mixed three different pink colors of gelatos and some water together to create a type of colored paste. Then using a stiff bristled brush, I painted and daubed over the stencil. Here is the result once I was done. Pardon the messy work mat, I am not sure how anyone keeps those clean, because I can't!
And then some more fun layering embellishments together to create the focal point of the card. Using a kraft envelope, felt flower, transparent butterflies, framed saying and more.
I ran some sheer ribbon thru the grommets of the banner piece and tied a bow. After a misting mishap (eek!), I tied a separate bow and added it with the other one. Tucking some of the vintage trinket pins in behind the bows finished off that area.
Thanks for coming by Roadies! There are some fun things in the works and we cannot wait to share!
