New Release Blog Hop - Altered Canvas

-

Welcome to the new release blog hop at 3 Girl JAM.  I am so happy to be sharing these new colors today.  If you hopped over from Carri, you are in the right spot.  If you just happened on to my blog today, be sure to head over to see Julie's post here.

Now on to my project for today.  I decided that I wanted to alter a canvas.  Though this is not the first canvas that I have altered, it is unlike anything that I have attempted.  I must say that it was quite enjoyable to make and wasn't difficult at all.  My favorite color of all of the new colors is without a doubt Purple Passion.  I decided that I would keep this project for myself.


Besides Purple Passion, I also used a lot of other supplies:
Canvas board
Faber Castell Gelatos
Prima - Mixed Media Doll by Julie Nutting
Tim Holtz - Black Soot Distress Ink, Old Paper and Dusty Concord Distress Markers, Heartfelt stamp set, Milled Lavender Distress Stickles
Studio G - glitter glue
Zig Pure Brown marker
Ranger Jet Black Archival ink
Momento London Fog ink
White gel pen
Micron black pen
K. Andrew Designs - Scripture Sayings stamp set
Want2Scrap bling
Recollections leaves
Petaloo - feathers
Spare Parts flowers (from Hobby Lobby)

How about a video?


Just in case you get lost on the way through the hop, here is the line up.  Just click on each name to see the projects.
Cheri- You are here

You are amazing! I loved watching your video. It was so easy to follow and you narrate very nicely.

I have heard about gelatos but haven't seen them in use. I like them :) and the purple is one of my favorite colors. I like the idea behind your scripture quote and why you are keeping it. I definitely understand the changing seasons and can relate.

thanks for being so inspiring!
God Bless you.

Welcome to my little contribution to the Operation Write Home Blog Hop.  I am so happy that you stopped by today.  This is the first time that I've participated in an OWH Blog Hop, but I have hopped to other blogs during these hops before.  I can't wait to see all the inspiration out there. Today, I have chosen the Bonus Sketch #12 to use with this hop.  It is a sketch that my daughter chose to have me make her thank you notes for graduation before I even knew the hop details.  What perfect timing!  Be sure to scroll down to the previous post for a full tutorial and to see my daughter's thank you note.  Same technique and sketch, but a totally different card. I used the following supplies: Operation Write Home Bonus Sketch #12 K and Company - Ancestry.com paper Memento Tuxedo Black ink OWH / Hero Art stamp Stampendous - Happy Messages stamp set Thanks so much for stopping by today. Remember to take some time to enjoy the l...
