Hello all! I'm back again with this super fun mixed media canvas.. I was feeling a little blue, and needed some bright colors and tried some fun new techniques.. I used paint, ink, stamps, texture paste, and of course Linnie Blooms Mixed Media Heart Shape!! I love how I turned the heart into a balloon so my cares and worries could float away ;) .. I used acrylic paint to color the balloon and embellished  with a rosette trim and twine..  A quote, some doodeling, and a few highlights finished it off.. I love how the Linnie Blooms Shapes can easily be altered and colored to fit any style and project :)

Ahhh.. A Glimpse Of Fall!

Hello Everyone!! Here in Indiana, the trees are starting to change, the fields are almost ready to harvest, and the crisp fresh air tickles your nose.. I absolutely love this time of the year! Hoodies, comfy socks, hot chocolate, and Bonfires!!!

I made this cute card and envelope set using Linnie Blooms canvas shapes.. The card is set on a simple craft card stock, layered with a piece from the My Minds Eye "Darling Dear" 6x6 paper stack..  I lightly distressed the Linnie Blooms small canvas blank with Tim Holts distress ink "Vintage Photo" as well as Linnie Blooms Pocket shape... Layered those on top of my card base.. Added some fall flowers, buttons and ribbons.. Used a few Tim Holtz tickets to add into my pocket..

The envelope is made from wide Jute trim I purchased from Hobby Lobby, I just cut, folded, and glued the sides with hot glue.. SOOO SIMPLE! I topped it off with a Linnie Blooms Flower shape, sprayed with Inkadinkado Spray Ink in Terra Cotta, a Linnie Blooms Leaf shape (colored with green acrylic paint)  and added a wooden button and twine.. WaaaaLaaa!!!!!!! Now I have a beautiful card and envelope, ready to wish a special someone with warm fall wishes :)

You Are My Sunshine!!!

Here is a sweet canvas piece I created using Linnie Blooms long canvas piece..  Such a fun blank to work on! It measures 12x5 and is only 4.99 for 2! Great Deal...

I painted the blank with acrylic paint and also did some stamping..  Added a piece of "paneled" paper from Paper Studios for my background.. I Layered a paper doily and a few laces for texture .. I rolled up one corner of the paper to expose the canvas, and to make a base for my roses.. The large roses are handmade by me with a 5 petal fiskar punch.. and the small are Wild Orchid Craft roses... I inked a Linnie Blooms Large Butterfly canvas piece with Tim Holtz Broken China, embellished with pearls and small flower buttons... and some rosette trim from hobby lobby (inked with Tim Holtz Wild Honey of course)  also added pearls to the trim, A die cut sentiment from K&Co ( fastened by buttons)  and some chipboard hearts finished it off... Then I tied it all together with dabs of white paint and touches of Tim Holtz Wild Honey Distress Ink.. Hope you all like it!
