Storybook Reverse Canvas

Hello friends!  This is a reverse canvas I made for Donna Salazar using her Storybook Collection.

The background of the canvas was decoupaged using the Crafty Chronicle and Beacon's Fast Finish Decoupage.  It was then inked with Smooch Spritz and splattered with acrylic paint.  The clouds were cut from one of the Storybook papers, and I 'hung' then from the frame using string.
The Bitty Blossoms were made from the Kraft Labels in Donna's Mix'd Media Stax.  I peeled off the backing of the label and sprinkled Fairy Dust Glitter onto the sticky side before making my Bitty Blossom.
The matted layers are made up of Storybook Papers, The Crafty Chronicle and punched Kraft paper.  The frame was altered with Ceramic Stucco and inked with Mix'd Media Inx and Smooch Spritz.


Hope you are inspired to get messy and have some fun!
Have a lovely day!

Natasha

'Be Happy' ATC

 Helloooooo there!  Natasha here with my first ATC!  I have to admit that I procrastinated because I was nervous about making an ATC, but I had so much fun and it was easy!  
 I used Donna Salazar's Bitty Blossoms Dies to make these little flowers.  They were covered with Fairy Dust Glitter and Jasmine Mix'd Media Inx embossing powder.
 The Nestaboard sprockets are also one of Donna's designs and are manufactured by Want2Scrap.  They coordinate with the Spellbinders Sprightly Sprocket dies and the Nestabling by Want2Scrap.
 I had to sneak eyelets and lacing onto my ATC!  LOL.
 I stamped the 'Bubble Wrap' stamp by Art Gone Wild and embossed it with Mix'd Media Inx embossing powder in Denim.
I used Donna's Girlie Grunge labels for the phrase.  These dies are so useful and there is an awesome variety of words!
As you can see, this ATC is made up of several layers.  The base layer is Designer Embellies ATC - Denim.  Above that layer I used ATC - Chipboard, another layer of ATC - Denim and a layer of ATC - Canvas.  Can you tell I LURVE layers?!

Thanks for taking a peek at my ATC!
Have a beautiful day!

Natasha

"Dream" Box

 Hi everyone!!  Today I have a box to share with you that I created using Pion Design's Studio of Memories Collection.  

 My Romantique Rose was made using the Rose Creations dies by Spellbinders.  You can find the tutorial HERE.  The flourish is a Vilda Stamp (V23 Stone swirl) that was embossed with Jasmine Mix'd Media Inx embossing powder and then fussy cut.
I LOVE Spellbinders dies because they are so simple to use and they add such a lovely touch to any project.
I adore the elegance that Dusty Attic chippies!  And they are so simple to use!
... brick wall texture made with fiber paste, ink and paint.

This is the inside of the lid of the box.  I adhered corrugated board in the background and laced tulle through it.  You can find the lacing tutorial HERE.
The stamped and embossed leaves were made with Vilda Stamps' V336 Easter rice + feather.  
The base of the box is adorned with vintage lace and punched paper. Hope you like my box!

Thank you for visiting!
Natasha

AdoraBubble & Mother's Day Contest Continued!

Hello friends!  Natasha here with a layout of my daughter when she was about 7 months old.  She had just gotten her ears pierced in the photo.

For this layout I used a sketch by my dear friend, Mistra.  She has an inspirational sketch blog called Sketches by Mistra.  Head on over to take a peek!  You will definitely see more of her sketches on my blog!
For this floral cluster I used a combination of hand-made flowers and mulberry flowers.  The large flower is my Cabbage Rose.  You can find the tutorial HERE.
I used a Clearsnap Design Adhesive to add this embossed texture.  You can get a similar effect using a stamp, too.
I love how tulle softens a layout!  You can find the tutorial for my Twisted Lacing HERE.
Last but not least is my Romantique Rose made from cardstock.  Click HERE for a tutorial.  The smaller flower beneath it was made from Donna Salazar's Bitty Blossoms Dies by Spellbinders.

Hope you enjoyed my layout!

Just the Three of Us

 Hello again!  Natasha here with a layout I made using the beautiful "For Mother" Collection by Pion Design.  The photo of myself and my children was taken about 3 years ago.
I used a sketch designed by my friend,  Mistra Hoolahan.  Visit her blog of inspirational sketches HERE.
 Before I met my husband, I was a single mom for almost 8 years.  But my children and I were happy because we had each other.  :o)
 I used a Martha Stewart punch to decorate two of the outside corners of my background paper.
 ... a mix of lace, flowers and chipboard hearts by The Dusty Attic.
 The Dusty Attic Heart Flourish was painted, inked and embossed with embossing powder by Lindy's Stamp Gang.
 These gorgeous swirls were stamped using the Stenswirl stamp by Vilda Stamps and embossed with an opaque white embossing powder.  Then I fussy cut the swirls and adhered them to my layout.
 I love these chipboard letters.  They were painted white and inked with a Passionate Plum spray.

It's hard to see from the photo, but I stamped a flourish border peeking out from under the paper using another Vilda Stamp called Grungeswirl.  I embossed it with an opalescent embossing powder to add subtle texture.

 Thank you for visiting me today!  Have a beautiful day!
