Hi Friends! Today I have a super fun project to share with all of you for Linnie Bloom's July challenge~Patriotism. I don't know about all of you but I LOVE the 4th of July. My hubby's birthday is July 3rd so it's a weekend of celebrations in our family.
For this challenge I created a vintage inspired tag using one of the FAB LB Canvas Flower pieces...
I also have a video that not only shows you the tag up close but I show you how I altered the flower and turned it into a Patriotic flower...
I wanted to mimic the stripes in the American Flag so I used a stencil from TCW and some red glimmer spray on the flower...
Sorry...I didn't realize the photo was turned until it was too late...but you get the idea right?? : )
After drying the flower with my heat tool, I used one of my Distress Markers in Chipped Sapphire and inked around the edges....
I dried this thoroughly with my heat tool and then spritzed it lightly with some water. I wanted to crinkle the flower so it would have some added dimension and texture, so I once again used my heat tool and my tweezers and dried it in the crumpled shape...
I really like how this turned out...
This was such a fun tag to create and I love how the LB Canvas Flower really stands out and is the star of the tag. I'll be using this for sure amongst my 4th of July decorations for this years celebration. Be sure to stop by the Linnie Blooms store and pick up some of the amazing mixed stitch/canvas pieces for yourself. Thanks for stopping by my blog today and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project.
Hi Friends! Today I'm sharing another DT project for Linnie Blooms and I have a really fun & easy project to share with all of you that I created for the May Challenge~April Showers Have Brought Us May Flowers. This challenge is all about showing different ways to use the Linnie Blooms Canvas Flowers.
I also have a video to share with you...this shows the products I used along with a short tutorial on how I colored the canvas flower with some Gelatos...
To get the flower shape I was going for, I wet it with some water then used my heat tool to dry it...
My hubby bought me some Gelatos for Mother's Day so I was excited to use these for this project. I selected the colors I wanted to use and covered the flower in a no particular fashion. I spritzed the flower lightly with some water so I could mix the colors into the flower (sorry I don't have a photo of the actual process...I was the only one home and couldn't take a pic myself..lol but I do have this in the video above : )
I wanted to make the flower appear more real & natural so I added some stamens to the center by making a small cut in the backside of the canvas flower and pushing a few stamens through the center...
To create a unique tassle for my tag, I separated the fibers from the Linnie Blooms burlap and looped them through the top of the tag and used my tiny attacher to hold them in place...
I thought this was a fun challenge and a creative way to use the canvas flowers along with the burlap. I made this for a friend of mine and I'm going to be putting some seed packets in the bag. I think she will love it : )
Thanks for stopping by my blog today and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project for the May Challenge. You'll want to stop by the Linnie Blooms BLOG and see my tutorial posted over there as well.
Be sure to head over to the Linnie Blooms online STORE so you can pick up some of these FAB canvas pieces for yourself.
