Get Tangled Challenge at Canvas Corp Brands!

Today over at Canvas Corp Brands we have a new crew challenge happening!  Lets get Tangled!!!  The Canvas Corp Brands Tattered Tangle line expands as the art of the doodle becomes more and more popular.  This therapeutic craft is a great way to relax, unwind and let you creativity flow, however if the fear of the doodle is within you…Tattered Tangles is at your service.  The collection is filled with a variety of 12×12 Tattered Tangles Papers and Tangle Packs (12 different doodle pieces in a pack)- there are 8 styles to choose from.

Here's my take on the Tangles!  I chose to make a little Tangled Tag!!!  I coloured the doodles with my copic markers (which work great on the leather paper).  Then I used some Glitter Ritz glitter and double sided Sakura tape and covered the entire surface with glitter.  I burnished the glitter with my finger and it finishes like suede!!!  So pretty!  It also mutes the harsh dark lines of the doodles for this project! 

Here's a close up:

Go on a journey with us to see how our Creative Crew Gets Tangled.   Head over to the Canvas Corp Brands Blog to see what the Crew have to show you!  We hope that these amazing projects inspire you to do a little doodling, do a little coloring and let your creativity run wild.   If you are not sure that this style of art is up your alley, you will want to see how our Crew members approached their projects with their own design style. Now go on and Get Tangled!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!

Let the fairy in you fly....another KKS challenge...

 Welcome back to another fun challenge at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!!!  Today I'm playing hostess and I challenge you to use flowers on your project.  I rarely use actual 'flower embellishments' on my cards or projects so this really was a challenge for me.  You can use any kind of flower, it can be on your designer paper, embellishments, incorporated in the stamp/sentiment etc...we just want to see those flowers!  Maybe it will nudge spring along because it sure is taking it's sweet little time around here!!!  Play along with us using a Kraftin' Kimmie Stamp and you could win some Krafty Rubber!!!

I created another mixed media tag for my project today...yep, I'm on the 'tag train' and not sure when I'm getting off!  lol...anyway, for my project I've used the newly released Tatiana and an older sentiment 'let the fairy in you fly'.  On the original stamp for Tatiana, she is holding a mirror but I wanted her to be holding some flowers so I just simply cut the mirror part off during the 'fussy cutting' stage. 

Here is a close up of how I cut out the 'mirror' and added my own glittery flowers.  Her wings were paper pieced using some old book paper.  I added a bit of colour with my peerless watercolors. 

And another close-up of the sentiment and the cabochon flower. 



I also used lots and lots of  Glimmer Mist and Stardust Stickles which is hard to see in the first picture of the whole tag.  I added glitter to the edges of the 'torn' parts, the flowers, and some random dots scattered around. 

Here is a list of some of the supplies I've used on my tag.  Tags (x2 Canvas Corp), old book paper, flower stencils, text stencils (The Crafters Workshop), peerless watercolors, glimmer mist, copic markers, stickles, gesso, faber castell pitt pens, flower embellishments, archival ink, mod podge.

Also there's a big Springtime Krafty Krop goin' on today at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps for even more fun and chances to win some prizes.  You can check out all the information HERE!  Thanks for stopping by today!
