Cards - March Colours

Hi there!

I love how bright and colourful this months scheme is and enjoyed putting these cards together.  I made two with the colour scheme in mind and one will be for my Mum for Mothers Day!  Makes a change for me to be ahead of myself!

I used the following stencils on the background of the cards, with Distress Ink.

Tangled Yarn

Stripes

Bird and Branch

Anything Goes - Canvas

I made this canvas for a male friends 50th birthday towards the end of last year...

painted with an ombre effect

This is what it looked like unpainted, which I quite like also...

painted plain white before ombre effect added

For the background of the canvas I used texture paste and two Tando masks - Diamond Circles and Stripes.

Dominoes - Love Canvas

Hi all!  Caroline here with this weeks theme of 'Dominoes'.

I thought right outside the box here and decorated a canvas with fabric pieces the same size as a domino - 2"x1"!

I cut long strips of canvas two inches wide and then decorated them using Tando Creative's Harlequin mask and ink.

I then sewed each blank line created by the stencil, and cut into one inch lengths to create the separate dominoes.  I stitched each one onto an 8"x8" piece of canvas and added the 'love' sentiment which was stamped and then chain stitched before adding to the canvas.

This whole piece was sewn to a 10"x10" canvas which I had painted.  I added the framed effect by using the Stripes mask with some Viva Decor Terra.

I then decorated the whole piece with some seed beads.  I have to have busy hands whilst watching the TV!
