Hello you

Hello!

Happy Aloha Friday!  Today for Lilo's Fun Friday I wanted to share this 3-D frame project I made for a swap.

I am stoked with how this turned out!  I went out of my comfort zone and used a ton of my new Prima Color Bloom sprays to create my version of mixed media.  It was soooo much fun!  The frame is made out of paper board and is from La-La Land Crafts.  I've had it for several years and finally decided to do something with it.  As you can see I also used a good number of dies from LLLC, CC Designs & Fiskars.  The stamps used are from LLLC, Winnie & Walter, MFT and CC Designs.

Here are some close-ups:

The mushroom border adds a really sweet whimsical feel here.  So happy I decided to add it.

Well time to sign off.  Have a very Happy Aloha Friday!  Mahalo for stopping by!

Love with Paper Doll Marci Spring Showers

Hello!

Whew! That was a long title!  I have difficulties when trying to come up with a title for my posts. I usually go with the image and if there is a sentiment I incorporate that.  Sometimes when I am stumped I usually end up using the sentiment.  How about you?  Do you have a hard time with titles for your posts?  I'd love to hear how do you come up with your titles?  =D

Today's share is a little canvas project on a clear acrylic background.  I decided to try my hand at my version of mixed media.  I know I'm late to the party as it's all the rage, but when it comes to new things I tend to wait and see before doing.  (haha)  Here is the beginning of the project:

This is a mini canvas colored with Prima Color Bloom sprays in cobalt, summer sky & glistening waves.  The hanging heart banners & Love sentiment are from La-La Land Crafts.  The other hearts were punched out with a Fiskars heart punch & an EK heart punch.  I also stamped some hearts with a heart background stamp.  The image I chose is one of the newly released stamps from CHA, Paper Doll Marci Spring Time also from La-La Land Crafts.  I paper pieced her jacket after stamping the same heart background on to an extra stamped jacket; fun-cut it out and coloring with Copics.  The rest of her was so easy to color.  Here's a little close-up of the right side of the canvas showing off all the details.

The red patterned paper underneath the acrylic was a great find at my local scrapbook store.  I think I bought the last two sheets in the tray.  So happy I have an extra sheet for next year.  I used spray adhesive to glue the paper to the acrylic and it looks seamless.   Last I added a red and white polka dot ribbon.

So that's what I've been doing.  The is the second canvas I made, I'll share the other one in an upcoming post as well as some of the make & take projects from CHA.  For now it's time to sign off.   Thanks a lot for stopping by and thank you for the lovely comments.  Big hugs!
