Mixed Media Canvas by Kim F

Good morning friends! Today I am sharing a fun mixed media canvas.

This is a 4 x 6 canvas I had in my stash and I love the white, blue and black theme.

I started of with a coat of white gesso on the canvas and then used my sprays in coordinating colours. I then cut several squares with my 2 inch punch and layered them on top of the paint and sprays.

Next, I got out some stamps and did some stamping in the background. Once that was complete it was time to put on my chipboard pieces. I layered on some fun pieces from other sets in Gina's store, that is what I love about her shape sets, they have pieces in them that you can use on various projects.

Below here you can see the stackable labels I painted and used my alpha stamp on and then used Gloss Accents over it. I love the high gloss on it.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

My Friendship Bus Layout

Hi there-Lynne here with a layout that's dear to my heart. I found this picture on Facebook and it is so very ME that I just had to use it for a page:

I'm pretty introverted and have a very small circle of friends who mean the world to me, so this layout sums it all up.

I used Stampendous Aged Copper embossing powder on the chain and the gears, dry-embossed the little car, then painted it and rubbed it with black ink, and I painted the hearts and title letters, then embossed them with UTEE.

Thanks so much for stopping by; whether your circle of friends would fit on a "short bus" like this one or you'd need a Greyhound bus, cherish every one of them for they're one of the greatest blessings in life! Hugs!

Steampunk Tag by Dianna

Hi Everyone, Dianna here with a Valentine with a Steampunk Twist. I really could not help myself as soon as I seen the Bo-Bunny Paper "Star-Crossed" line, I just knew that it would look wonderful with Gina's Designs Eiffel Tower and Clockwork Penny Farthing. I also wanted to include a heart for the Gina's Designs February Craft Group Challenge, so of course I went with a Steampunk heart.

I covered a Gina's Designs X-Large Chipboard Tag with the Bo-Bunny Paper, used Vintage Photo and Black Soot to distress the edges. I used Black Soot on the Eiffel Tower as a base coat and then used Stickles in three different colors to give it dimension. The card stock doilies were spritzed with Ranger Sparkling H20's in a spritzer with a lot of water. I have having a heck of a time with clogging of the normal Ranger Sprays so I made my own. I will let you know on my next blog update if it worked or if that clogged too. The Steampunk Heart and Clockwork Penny Farthing were "painted" with chalk ink in a bronze color, then distressed and Stickled.

The Julie Nutting Media Doll was colored with Copic Markers and Bo-Bunny paper was used for her dress. The underdress was spritzed with water and folded a couple of times (fan like) to get the ruffled effect. I created a sleeve out of left over paper from the underskirt. The opposite side of the striped paper is hearts (which is really cute). I used red Stickles and dotted the hearts for extra sparkle. The suitecases are from a really cute Stamping Bella Stamp that I stamped, colored with Copic and cut out. The Gina's Designs Art Deco Border was painted with gold chalk ink and spritzed and Stickled to create a tarinshed look.

Sparkling H20 was used on the Balloon and then brushed corduroy Stickles was used to create a rope look. I Stickled the teal paper to give more depth to the balloon. I included a couple of pictures of the balloon because you really cannot see it well in the overall photo.

Finally, I stamped the RubberNecker Stamps on plain cardstock and distressed the edges with bronze chalk ink.

August Sketch Challenge and Sample layout by Nancy

Welcome to the August Sketch Challenge!

Each month, on the first Monday, a new sketch will be provided. Use the sketch to create a layout, card or other craft project. Winner will be drawn from all eligible entries and will receive a $10 gift certificate to Gina's Designs online store. We encourage you to use Gina's Designs products in your project but it is not required to be eligible to win. You have until the first Monday of the Following month to enter and the winner will be announced on the blog on the second Monday of the following month. Use the Link Up tool below to enter.

Here is the sketch for August.

Below is my take on the sketch. I received this gorgeous paper kit from Kitty's Scrap Post as part of our month-long August promotional. When I saw all the red, black and white, I couldn't help but think of how much I missed scrapping Twilight. The kit contains background papers as well as element sheets that can be cut up and added to your project. This kit has a lot of vintage Paris elements, and Valentine or love themed elements but with a Gothic flair. The paper kit goes perfectly with many of the chipboard shapes from Gina's Designs, especially those in a Paris theme, as you will see in upcoming project I'm currently working on for later this month.
