Autumn Colours - Little Canvas

I've had a little pack of hardboard canvases forever and a day and I finally cracked open the packaging and worked with one!

Apples are from my tree!

To tie in with this weeks theme of Autumn Colours I thought Kaz Boughton's mask - Tree and Leaves  would create the ideal scene for showcasing those glorious autumnal colours.

Tree and Leaves

I used Distress Ink to colour the main parts of the design and then used some Viva Decor 3D Glitter Gel to create some 3d effects for the leaves and apples.

 

Autumn is my very favourite season, I love all the colours in nature at this time of year, don't you?!

Proverbs, Sayings and Quotes - Canvas

For our Proverbs, Sayings and Quotes week I have created two canvases for my living room. There I have used many chipboards of Tando Creative: Cloud Tree, Leaf Branch, Floral Grab Bag.

My home is where you are - Minibook-Week

Hi, here's Caro. I'm excited to introduce this week's theme: minibooks. There are many different kinds of minibooks in the range of tando creative but this "home"-book caught immediately my eye.

My take on this book:

I have filmed the process of creating this minibook - I hope you have time to watch my video and of course that you like it.

For my minibook I have used some other chipboards too:

Pretty vintage hanger

The lovely Tando chipboard tree and a sheet of bare chipboard were perfect pieces for me to use as the base for some pretty papers and an image from Crafty Individuals in their 'Vintage with a heart' challenge this week.
I inked all of the chipboard edges with my ink pad and added some beads and paper hearts to the wire hanger. 

Love love love this tree :D

Curly tree canvas

This is another new design to the range and these trees come in packs of 2.

Kaz has made this fantastic canvas, the tree has been painted and she has done some of her trademark doodling on it as well.  It was then mounted on a decorated 5" canvas to make a simply stunning piece of art.

Autumnal feelings

Well the weather seems to turned decidely autumnal here in the South East so no better time to show off this fantastic card that Caroline has made with the small engraved tree.

Caroline used gold acrylic paint on the whole circle of chippie, she then picked out the tree using a Copic pen and Copic fineliner.  The trunk was then covered in Glossy Accents to complete the piece.  This card is simply gorgeous.

Contemporary Christmas Tree

Kaz has done a superb job here, she has made 3 cards from 1 piece and these trees come in packs of 2 so a bargain there.

As you can see, you can carefully remove the centres of this design to create 2 pieces in 1 but Kaz went one step further, she placed the tree with the centre piece removed onto a sheet of white Bazzil and sprayed with Glimmer Mist.  This created a mask which Kaz used on this card with a fabulous result.

The outer piece was then covered with Rock Candy distress paint and when it was dry, Kaz rubbed a bit of Peeled Paint ink into the cracks and stuck it onto bright pink card......gorgeous.

 Finally the inner piece was sprayed with Glimmer Mist and some jewels added to create a beautifully simple, contemporary card.....stunning.

Little Tree Card

 This is a fabulous card by Karen using the smaller of the 2 tree designs that were first showcased HERE.

Karen has used chalk ink first of all and then overstampled the tree dotting stickles over the stamping.  It was mounted on to the super DCWV papers and she has added the first line of that lovely poem she used on the canvas.....a gorgeous card.

Cloudy Tree Canvas

This cloudy style tree comes in packs of 2 sizes.  They are robust pieces and well suited to the fabulous canvas that Karen has created.

The tree has been covered in paper and given the shabby treatment.  It is a perfect addition to the distress inked canvas.

What a fabulous piece to have hanging on your wall.

Engraved Tree Plaques

These engraved tree plaques come in 2 sizes 80mm and 55mm in diameter.



Karen has inked hers and glittered the engraved tree to really make it stand out. She has added it to this gorgeous box, doesn't it look stunning!



Kaz has made this fabulous bag charm. She has inked and covered the front in glossy accents leaving the engraved tree natural for a stunning effect.



The back has been covered with patterned paper and glossy accents and the whole piece has been finished off with beads and ribbon.
