Get Hoppin' with Stampendous and Dreamweaver!

Wow!  What a "Dream-Pendous" week it has been!  Are you ready to hop with Dreamweaver Stencils and Stampendous Stamps?  Before you do, don't forget that there are three prize packages available but you must comment to be eligible to win. Each will have a great selection of Dreamweaver Stencils and Stampendous images and dies...one of which is the new "Blossom Beauty" face image as shown on the badge.  So on with the show!  

My project today is another canvas.  I had this idea in my head and, well, if you saw my post yesterday, you know what that's like!  I had to get it out!!  I recently saw a canvas that was done with joint compound.  I liked the look but didn't have any joint compound laying around, however, I did have embossing paste!  So, an idea was born.  My project, even with embossing paste in place of joint compound, is nothing like the canvas I saw originally.  It was a beautiful canvas but mine is more of a mixed media project.  Guess you could say it's a little more "artsy!"  I look forward to hearing what you think!

For some very odd reason, the bottom of my canvas photo keeps pulling into Blogger much darker than it actually is.  The bottom shading is actually like the top of the canvas.  I've never had this happen before so I'm not sure how to fix it.  One of the things I really love about this project is how the text from the Dream Text stamp still shows through the embossing paste.

Here's what I used to create this project:

Stampendous® Cling Blossom Beauty
Stampendous® Cling Lovely Garden
Stampendous® Regal Bird Quotes PC™S
Stampendous® Angel Wings Quotes PC™S
Stampendous® Royal Heart Quotes PC™S
Stampendous® Charmed Art PC™S
Stampendous® Artist Elements
Stampendous® Cling Jumbo Dress Form
Stampendous® Dream Text
Dreamweaver Stencils© White Embossing Paste

Tim Holtz® Distress Ink™ - Pumice Stone
Dixie® Deli Paper
Neenah® Classic Crest™
Artist's Loft™ Watercolors
DecoArt® Paints 

Artist's Loft™ Necessities™ 8 x 10 Canvas Board

Here's what I did to create this project:

Stamp Dream Text stamp over entire surface of canvas board
Cover surface of canvas with embossing paste and allow to dry
Stamp all images on deli paper and tear out close to edge of image
Use watercolors to color butterfly and eyes and lips on face
Apply images with gel medium
Add enough embossing paste around edge of images to blend into background
Brush on distress ink randomly around canvas
Stamp words on cardstock pieces and trim
Stipple distress ink on words
Apply words to canvas with gel medium

Squirt paint on ends of brushes, tilt up and allow paint to run down canvas

That's it for this one, I do hope you like it!  I had a good deal of fun putting this one together with the various images and words.  Enjoy the rest of the hop and I hope to see you back here soon!  Here's the complete hop list:

Lately I've been on a canvas board kick, I can't seem to get enough of them!  I decided to create a canvas and use something a little different.  Sometimes when I'm in my craft dungeon or even doing something as simple as walking around Target, my gears start turning in my head and I can't wait to get home and get busy creating.  I feel like my head is going to explode if I don't get the ideas out!  So this canvas represents how I feel at those moments!

DICC Time!

It's time for another Desert Islands Crafters Challenge!  This time around our sponsor is The Stamping Chef and my image of choice is Tabitha.  She's so soft and girly looking that I had to find papers that matched her femininity.  Instead of a card, I chose to create a tag.  I'm thinking I might just use the finished tag on the cover of a journal; I really like the completed project!  Our itinerary for this week is as follows:

1.  Lots of pink

2.  Sugar skulls

3.  Suckers or sweets (lollipops or candy)

4.  Hearts

5.  Add a feather or wings

6.  Pearls or gemstones

7.  Add a banner or bunting

8.  Stitching (real or faux)

9.  Anything but a card

10.  Spritzes or sprays

For my project, I've used #'s 1, 4, 6, 7 and 9:

PenPattern Play

Stampendous® has come out with a bunch of fun new PenPattern stamps that you can doodle in to create your own pen pattern design.  How cool is that!?  If you love to stamp and love to doodle, these new stamps are perfect for you!  Today I'm going to share a project I did with PenPattern Turtle:

This is what the stamp looks like without any form of doodling.  It's neat how different you can make it look just by adding some simple designs.  Also, you can make the image look different each time you stamp it by simply creating a different design.  The possibilities are only as endless as your creativity! 

Here's what I used to create this project:

Stampendous® PenPattern Turtle
Stampendous® Wishing Fun

Stampendous® Creative PaletteStampendous® Teal Micro Glitter 
Copic® Marker BG57
DecoArt® Paint - Neo Green Glamour Dust, Deep Turquoise Satin, Peacock Pearl Dazzling

My Mind’s Eye™ “Indie Chic”
Neenah® Classic Crest™ Solar White Cover Stock
Memento™ Tuxedo Black Ink Pad
May Arts Ribbon®Water Brush
Glue Dots™ (3 different sizes)
Foam Mounting Squares
Scor-Tape®


Here's how I created this project:

Stamp image, color with pencils and trim to desired size
Stamp sentiment with black ink and trim to desired size, ink with distress ink™
Create card base and mats as shown
Using paper created with Creative Palette*, trim pieces as shown
Cover turtle with frisket and airbrush background, remove frisket 
Adhere ribbon to background paper
Adhere matted image to card base
Using foam mounting squares, adhere sentiment to card
Attach glue dots as shown
Cover glue dots with micro glitter, brush off excess

*Stampendous® Creative Palette is used for monoprinting backgrounds as a mixed media tool.  You can use it with any type of media such a acrylic paint, inks, watercolor crayons, etc.  It's easy to use and can be printed on and then picked up and used on journal pages.  It cleans up easily and comes with its own storage container. 

That's it for today!  I hope you enjoy my project.  I had a lot of fun creating it!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

All Dressed Up...

...and no place to go!  Well, maybe to my craft room!  LOL!  So the other day, my friend and fellow teammate, Jennifer Dove, posted a card for a company I had not heard of and I just fell in love with it!  The name is All Dressed Up Stamps and it's an Etsy shop.  OMG!  Each image is adorable and I would love to have them all!  Unfortunately it's not in my budget at the moment after being out of work from a knee surgery, but, down the road, some of those little darlings WILL be mine!  Luckily for me, Wendy, the owner, was kind enough to put a few freebies in her shop so any and all can play along on her challenge blog.  They also have a facebook page that I've joined and, talk about a warm welcome, wowzers, I was greeted in such a friendly manner.  That always puts a smile on my face!  So, on to my project and, hopefully, it will put a smile on your face!  This is Abi Ballerina, one of the super cute freebies!

Isn't she just too cute!?  I love her!  And, she's a freebie!!  You really need to go check out her shop, they're all very reasonable priced and all adorable!  

I would like to thank Crafter's Companion as they gifted me with a complete set of Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the cool marker storage trays to hold all of them!  This is my first post/project using these markers and I love them!  If you haven't tried out the new version of Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers, you really should.  You can't beat the price, and their quality is excellent.  I was very pleased with how easy it was to blend the colors and I like the feel of the marker in my hand when coloring.  I'm looking forward to creating many projects with them in the future.

Here's what I used to create this project:

A Little Inspiration

It's time for another Dreamweaver Stencils post and this month it's all about "April Inspirations."  Each team member is posting what inspires them in their creative life...maybe a Pinterest pic, a magazine pic, a quote, a book, a place, an artist, a crafter friend...along with their creation. We are hoping that you will feel inspired as well, and link your projects (and inspiration) to the inlinkz tool on the Dream It Up! blog.  Here's my project, a journal page with a favorite quote:

Anyone that knows me, knows I have a thing for trees and nature.  I don't know what it is but they just call to me.  That makes Dreamweaver Stencil LX 7020 Leafless Tree my favorite stencil EVER!  Yeah, I know I've used it quite a bit but if you want to know what inspires me, that tree seriously inspires me!  There are two other things here that seriously inspire me, a brand new journal and paints!  I don't know if you realize it or not but Dreamweaver sells a fantastic set of 18 Jackson acrylic paints.   The quote I've used is also one of my favorites and always inspires me when I'm feeling a little down.

Here's what I used to create this project:

Dreamweaver Stencils LX 7020 Leafless Tree

Dreamweaver Stencils Acrylic Paints

Dylusions 5 x 8 Creative Journal

Faber-Castell Pitt Pen in Black

DecoArt Gesso

Make-up Sponge

Various Paint Brushes

Here's how I created this project:

Prime both journal pages with gesso, allow to dry

Create a wash with water and Cerulean Blue paint, cover both pages with wash, allow to dry

Tape stencil to page and sponge on a mix of Burnt Umber and Mars Black paints, carefully remove tape and allow tree to dry

Using a mix of Phthalo Green and Light Green, paint grass onto page

With Viridian and Crimson Red, add in some "flowers"

Using a mix of all three greens, create your tree foliage 

Allow 24 hours to completely dry, it will feel a little tacky to the touch until it's completely dry

Once completely dry, using Pitt Pen, add quote to page

Keep in mind that this is very impressionistic, it doesn't have to be perfect!  Journaling is supposed to be something you enjoy so don't stress over it!  Dreamweaver Stencils are perfect for using in your journals or on a canvas or other mixed media project.  Honestly, the possibilities are only as limited as your imagination!  So that's my project, now you should check out what the rest of the Dream Team has created for your inspiration.  Here's the list of who's participating this week:

Janelle Stollfus (Our Guest Designer)

Dream It Up!
Lea Kimmel (Me!)
Louise Healy
Pam Hornschu
Cherylynn Moser

Thanks for stopping by today!  I hope you'll come back by again soon, I'll have another Stampendous Catalog sneak peek for you tomorrow!  Have a blessed day!

Hugs,

Lea

Hooray!

I wish I had a stamp that says "Hooray!"  It would have been perfect with Bootsie, the image I've used today from Rick St. Dennis for the Desert Islands Crafters Challenge Blog.  Bootsie is just one of the images available for this period and I fell in love with him the minute I saw him!  He's totally adorable!  We have six cats and of those six, not a single Siamese but I do love them and this one just called out to be colored as such.  Here's my project using #'s 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, & 10:
