Dragonfly canvas


Hello, and welcome!
Something a bit different today.  I’ve gone all mixed media with this canvas.

It WAS going to be a card, inspired by something I saw Tim Holtz showing – I think it was done by one of the design team.  The point of inspiration for me was the winged creature, cut three times and glued at the body so that the wings were free, and a stamped background.  I wanted to make something similar using Stampin’ Up! products. 

Then it got a bit out-of-hand…



I enjoy mixed media projects, but they do take some time – time for the layers to dry, time while I sit and think about what I want to do next.  Because of that I wanted to make something lasting, so after getting the idea to make a card I thought that I’d like to frame it when it was done so I could keep it.  Then I couldn’t find a frame…but I DID find a canvas…

So there we are, and I’m really very happy with the way it turned out.  I’m also happy that I got to play with some retiring products one more time (I will definitely be keeping the stamp and the dies but I won’t be demoing them).  

We’re in the endgame for the 2018-19 catalogue now so if you’ve got your eye on something that’s due to retire, I wouldn’t wait to order it!  (Remember that all bundles -with the 10% discount price- will retire even if the individual items aren’t going.)

Anyway, that’s it for today!  See you soon and

Keep crafting

Double Z fold card...FAIL!


Hello and welcome!

Every once in a while, I start work on a project and everything works as I want it to and the finished item looks like I imagined it would.

This is not one of those projects.

I made a few schoolgirl errors while I was making this card.  If I’m honest, by the time I finished it I was sick of the sight of it and I almost decided to remake it.  I even started a new version, and all was going well – except that the file wouldn’t save, whatever I did. 
Bad language was used.

However, with the passage of time, I’ve decided that I quite like the card after all and that you might enjoy learning from my mistakes, so I’m sharing it.  The YouTube video is quite long because I’ve kept the mistakes in.  See what you think!

Keep crafting,

Keren
