Arty Diva Challenge Group Jan2023- Canvas Work

 Hello,

Welcome and Happy New Year! New year new challenges, be sure to get your craft own, and join us over at the Arty Diva Challenge Blog 

! Fabulous prizes to be won from our sponsor for our blog, Lilli Rain Designs

New Year, New Challenges ! I have never worked with a canvas before, and vowed to add to my Design Team Tool Box this year!

I have to admit from a very structured designers point of view, this was a challenge for me and I welcomed it with unstructured point of view, hard, but I love what I created! 

Here are the beautiful images I had to work with,

After adding layers to my canvas, I fussy cut out the images I chose to work with, added pop dots and adhered them to the canvas. Now came the fun part, embellishing! Anything goes in my book, as along as it fits the color scheme. 

I added flowers, and bits of steampunk gears, as it fit the theme. I though the rough jute used as the hanger added a bit more texture that added to the finish project, Thoughts??

Gecko Galz Christmas Memories

 Hello,

Here to share my 2 projects for the customer inspiration challenge over at Gecko Galz Blog. Our prompt this month is Christmas Memories. 

I am old enough to remember many Christmas's and have a ton of black and white photos to jog my memory. So, I have created a black and white mantel garland for my living room, only using Gecko Galz, Dashing Through The Snow ATCs

                                       and lastly Christmas Wonder Digi Set

                                                          Here are photos of my garland,

                                                                 I adore how this turned out!

My second project for this month is a set large tags, using my 2 other favorite colors to use with black and white photo's, blue and black! Check em out!
