Dress Form Canvas

I created this canvas as a gift for someone.  It started out as just an 8 x 10 stretched natural canvas, like this one.  Nothing great and really kinda boring, but not after I got my hands on it! :)

I painted it with Folk Art Metallic Sahara Gold acrylic paint and then glued on a piece of flocked damask designer paper by GCD Studios from the Paris Nights Collection. 

I then began layering a bunch of goodies onto the canvas.  The dress forms are Wooden Flourishes: Manequins by KaiserCraft and the Say it in Crystals black corner bling is by Prima.  I hot glued down some black sequin lace and then layered a bunch of flowers from I Am Roses.  

Here is a list of the different flowers that I used: G3-153, R77-310, R21-410, T25-152, R2-505, and R2-840.  I used the following Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays to color the flowers: Opal Sea Oats Starburst Stain, Golden Sleigh Bells Starburst Color Shot, and Desert Moon Cactus Gold Glitz Spritz.  

I curled the edge of the damask designer paper back with my paint brush and then edged it with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  I used the Ornamental Movers & Shapers Die by Tim Holtz to cut out the black frame and then glued on the quote by Helen Keller. 

New Camera!

I just bought a new camera!  Expect some great pictures very soon.  Hopefully I can re-shoot the items I have for sale in my Etsy shop.  My old camera just doesn't cut it!!

Here's what I will be using now.

The battery is charging and I am patiently waiting to play with my new toy! :)

Happy Birthday Card

Here's the next item I will be putting up for sale in my Etsy shop.  

The Greeting Farm: Oh Boy! Ian

I created this card using the Oliver paper collection by Basic Grey.  I also used some Bazzill Dotted Swiss cardstock, gray cardstock, and a piece of chocolate fudge cardstock for the base.  The stamp is Oh Boy! Ian by The Greeting Farm.  I colored the image up with my Copics and cut him out with my Classic Ovals Large Nestabilities.  

Here are the Copic markers I used to color up Ian.

The "Happy Birthday" sentiment is from an acrylic stamp set by Close to My Heart.  The buttons are also from CTMH, which you can purchase from yours truly - http://whimsycrafts.myctmh.com/Home.aspx?PageMode=Live.  (I'm just sayin'.)  I picked the brown May Arts burlap string up at Stamper's Dream.  The edges were distressed using my Tim Holtz edge distress tool and Walnut Stain distress ink. 

Here's a peek of the inside.

Check out Whimsy Crafts Boutique, I am adding new items each day and my prices are very reasonable.....much cheaper than Hallmark! :)

MFT Pure Innocence Stamps

I just love the MFT PI stamps!  They are so much fun to color up with Copics.  Here's a card that I created.

MFT Pure Innocence Butterfly Kisses

I used the Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden collection to create this card.  I picked it up at Stamper's Dream, but it's currently sold out.  I used my Big Scalloped Circles Large Nestabilitites die to cut out both scalloped cirlces.  The sentiment came with the PI Butterfly Kisses stamp set. 

Isn't she the cutest?

 I colored her up with my Copics.  Here are the colors that I used.

All of the roses are by Prima.  The cherry blossoms and skeleton leaves are from I Am Roses.
