Woodland Colours

Good Morning Crafters

We hope you are all keeping well and enjoying your crafting time.

We have a beautiful canvas tutorial from Christine to share with you today.

Paint a canvas with black paint, add some glue and gilding flakes to the canvas in various places. Add some purple embossing powders to add extra colour.

Spread Sparkle Medium using the Field View Stencil onto the middle of the canvas using Diamond Quartz and Chartreuse Sparkle Medium.  Add another tree on the right using just Chartreuse.

Stencil the leaves from the Garden Chair Stencil onto the left hand side of the canvas using only Chartreuse Medium.

Stencil just the deer from the Stencil Forest Deer with Black Stars Sparkle Medium onto card.

Top Tip - heat the Black Stars Sparkle Medium with a heat gun until it bubbles - take the Heat Gun away slowly and the Sparkle Medium will stay slightly raised. Also colour around the Deer when dry before you cut them out to leave an outline.  This will make the Deer more noticable on the canvas.

Stick the Deer to the canvas with double sided tape to make it stand out.

Imagination Crafts Products Used:

Sparkle Medium - Chartreuse, Diamond Quarts, Black Stars

Stencils - Forest Deer, Field View and Garden Seat

Gilding Flakes

Purple embossing Powder

Black Paint

We hope you have enjoyed the tutorial, please share with us your creations using Imagination Crafts Products.

Grungy Tag Demo

Hi peeps

Kath here with another demo for you to get mucky with lol

My apologies this was supposed to be a YouTube but I had gremlins

So here goes a quick grungy tag

Things you need

Chalk white MDF paint

Couple of Silkies Green and Bronze

Inkadinks - Green

Grunge Elements stencil (sorry mine is so grubby)

A flourish stamp ( I've used one from the Butterfly gilding set)

and a tag shape or a card ? I've used Kraft card

Stencil the halftone pattern in a couple of random places, dry thoroughly.

Using distress inks

colour the tag try and use a darker colour around the edge to frame it.
Take a bit of kitchen roll and lightly spritz with water and wipe over the dots, the paint resists so you have nice white dots again.

Using inkadinks stencil the splat and then flick some of the ink down the tag again dry thoroughly

Spread a little bit of Silkies paint on your desk and lightly pounce your chosen stamp into it then stamp up your tag I've used green and bronze for a verdigris effect

Once your happy dry it off and stamp with your fave sentiment

with archival or stazon as the paint will resist water based inks

Add a bit of ribbon dyed with inkadinks and voilà a grungy tag

All the items I've used are available HERE

Thanks for looking I hope you have a go and share with us
