Beautiful Girl Pennant

Hi Everyone, 

Jess here today with a canvas art pennant. 

Here's how you can make your own.

Start by adhering tissue wrap to a canvas pennant using Pellon EZ Steam II.  Once the tissue is firmly attached trim it to size. 

Color your pennant using inks, paints, and crayons.  Emboss the edge in gold.  

You can see there is a lot of detail on here.  Lots of inky layers and flicks of paint too. 

Paint your mini journaling block with a cream color and let dry.  Add a layer of gesso to your Layered Bella Frame.  Emboss your Medium Fairy 

Use Distress Crayons to color your journaling block.  

Emboss the back of the Layered Bella Frame and color the front using Distress Crayons.  The finished frame has white gel pen around the edge to look like stitching. 

Adhere your frame to the journaling block. Use a bit of foam tape to pop the fairy in the frame. 

Glue the whole piece to the pennant.  

Add your words and using a Stabilo pencil outline the words a bit.  Add dots with a white gel pen.  

Use a Distress Marker to color the edge of vintage seam binding and wet to make color feather and wrinkle the binding.  Run the seam binding through the slot in the pennant and create your hanger.  Add a large fluffy bow made out of the seam binding.  

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial!

Vintage Family Page to share

Hi it's Teresa here today and this time I am sharing a page I did for my Ancestry project I am working on with my family.  I have been collecting lots of pictures this past year from all the members of my family to make a huge book and if you didn't know already there are lots of frames and borders and corners in the GSLC store for you to use to do it.

For my page I used the "Flourished Frame called Bella" behind my picture to add lots of detail like a wedding would have had and also the word "Family" from the new sentiment set called "Words and Phrases 1"

The papers are from Kaisercraft and were the perfect colors with the chipboard to bring this old vintage picture to life.  And I just kept the page simple in the backround so that it wouldn't take away from the picture and the beautiful details in the frame behind it.  

Here you can see a closeup of the frame... It's really gorgeous and here is a link to the other frames and goodies in the store so you can hop over and take a peek!!  ..... HERE

Thank you so much for stopping by.... Teresa

Keepsake Box - Every Picture Tells a Story

Hello everyone, Debbie with you this Sunday morning to share a keepsake box I decorated with several Gina's Designs Laser Cuts.  I made this box to keep a small album in and several little keepsakes that I have from a friend I lost to breast cancer.  She wasn't just a friend, but she was my best friend of 35 years.  I had everything in a box, but it wasn't big enough and I thought it deserved a beautiful decorated box. Here is what I came up with:

To create this box I added my chipboard pieces to the top of the box and on the sides I added some stenciling and modeling paste along with some pieces from Texture Sheet Fleur De Lis.

The top of the box was created with the Flourished Frame Bella, Hinge Shape Set, Dragonflies Fancy, Words and Phrases 2 and several flowers.

When the modeling paste is dry, I gessoed the whole box include a little on the flowers.

Now the fun begins....spray your favorite colors on the box, I used Heidi Swapps mists.

 I added my misting, adhesive pearls, and splatters to finish my keepsake box.

A 12 x 12 Layout by Melissa

Hi everyone! Melissa here with a 12 x 12 mixed media layout for Gina's Chipboard Laser Designs.  I have titled this layout "Happy New Year".

This leaf frame is so beautifully designed.  When I saw it, I had to use it. I always enjoy trying different ways to decorate these little beauties. Here are the steps:

1. Apply gesso.
2. Apply green chalk ink.
3. Randomly stamp on Distress Inks in Vintage Photo, and Peeled Paint.
4. Sprinkle Utee on and heat.
5.The Utee hadn't stuck too well,on the left side, so I experimented by putting on a thick layer of Crackle Accent, on the left side.
6. Dry brush gold leaf ink lightly all over, leaving most of the green exposed.

Thanks for looking!
