April Challenge for Gina's Designs Craft Group

Good morning and welcome to the April challenge for Gina's Designs Craft Group on Facebook!

For my project, I altered a canvas.

I started with a photo I took of my roses and one of Gina's large dollies.

The butterfly has many layers. I used shredded burlap and black corrugated cardboard and one more layer of burlap. I finished it off with a piece of decorative tape.  

I used one of the word stackers - Inspire

After adding the flowers and trim, I spattered white and black paint all over the canvas.

Don't forget to check out the challenge on Facebook. You could win a $10.00 gift card for Gina's Designs! Good luck!

Fall House Shrine Box by Deann and a Layout by Veronica

Hello Friends!  Today we have two amazing projects to share.  First up is Deann with a project celebrating the beginning of the Autumn season.



Its Fall ya-all!!!

I used the House Shrine Box for this project and the awesome Fall Shape Set.

I did lots of layers on this project with the chip board and the Distress ink.

 The Scarecrow is the piece that started this project, I knew that I wanted to make it stand out. I went directly onto the raw chip board with the Distress Ink, Scattered Straw then Rusty Hinge and finished off with Gathered Twig. I used the same colors on the pumpkins with the addition of Forest Moss.

Next up is Veronica with a gorgeous layout to share.

Hello Everyone! Veronica here once again to share one of my projects using wonderful Lazer cut chipboard pieces from Gina's Designs!

Today I created a lovely Scrapbook page.

I love to layer, and Gina's Designs  gives you so many shapes to choose from!

Here I used a variety of pieces. 

Feathery Flourishes, Arched Window Set, and the Photo Reel Small.

              I love how adding a simple Doily adds a touch of femininity to a layout.

The Skeleton Clock also adds a touch of Nostalgia.

  

Thank you so much for taking a look. I hope you enjoyed this Layout as much as I enjoyed putting it all together.

Artist Trading Block in Turquoise and Black

Hi everyone! Melissa here with my take on our artist trading block.  

I painted my block with white gesso, then black acrylic, then a coat of glossy accents.

I felt that the chipboard and doilies I put on the block perfectly complemented the theme, and era of the images.

I painted all the chipboard with gesso, then turquoise Viva Color Precious Metal Effects. I didn't need gesso on the doilies,and I also painted them in turquoise. On some chipboard I added a little bronze paint,  stickles, green Lumieres, and/or diamond glaze coating.  I embellished my block with images, bling, metal, feathers, beads, moss, pearls, and lace. Thanks for looking!

Birds of a Feather Layout by Nancy

It's Wednesday and it's Nancy blogging with you today!  This layout features my cat "Timothy" who loves bird-watching from the wire enclosure outside his window.  This is one of the many outdoor enclosures we had built for the enjoyment of our multi-cat family and to keep them safe from harms way.  I used tons of chipboard embellishments from Gina's Designs on this one, including many of our newer items in the store.

My inspiration for this layout in both design and color comes from the very talented Charlotte aka Suepup sketch 0513.

Supplies Used:

Items from the Birdwatching Shape Set

Doily Set 8 Inch ( in Ivory)

Ornamental Birdcages Shape Set

Border sticks (this one in heart shape, other styles are available)

Flourishes 2

For The Birds(I used the nest and eggs from this set)
