Image Transfer onto Canvas

Hello followers!!!!

I wanted to try doing an image transfer onto a canvas, and what better way to try it then to do something for my wonderful hubby??!!

So I took one of his favorite pictures of his car and I flipped it using Photoshop so that I had a mirror image. Then I printed it off on normal printer paper and got to work.

My first attempt was a fail!!!! I used too much glue n' seal and it washed out the picture. That's ok though, I gessoed that canvas and used it in a later project.

Then I picked a 6x12 canvas and tried again and this one was a SUCCESS!!!! I wanted to decorate it up some but my hubby likes things plain and he loved it so much that he wanted to hang it in his office at work. So I opted to leave it "plain" so that he could have it the way he wanted. I did paint the canvas around the outside of the picture and along the sides with charcoal colored acrylic paint to cover the white of the canvas.

Happy Crafting!!!!

Frisky Melon!!

I made this card for the Fantabulous Cricut Challenge Blog's Challenge Me Monday Contest!! Yay!! I started with a piece of pink cardstock cut at 5 1/2"x 8 1/2" and folded it in half for the base of my card. This was from one of The Paper Company's value packs. Then I cut a piece of black cardstock, also from The Paper Company, at 5 1/4"x 4" and used it as my first layer. I attached this using my ATG gun. For my second layer I cut a piece of paper from the Colorbok Pattern Pack at 5"x 3 3/4". I then wrapped a piece of grosgrain ribbon around it and secured it in the back using regular tape. Then I attached the whole thing using my ATG gun. I cut the watermelon at 4" using the "Stretch Your Imagination" cartridge with my Cricut Expression. I used a black, pink and green paper, all were from The Paper Company value packs. I attached it to the card using 3D-Dots. Then to finish off this card I added a My P...

Paper Cutz Challenge Blog: Challenge #118

I'm re-posting this for Challenge #118 on Paper Cutz Challenge's Blog. The base of this card is a piece of green Papertrey Ink cardstock cut at 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" and folded in half. I cut a piece of blue cardstock from The Paper Company's Value Pack at 2 1/2" x 5 1/4" and ran it through my Sizzix with my Cuttlebug Snowflakes A2 embossing folder. I then used my ATG gun to attach it to the top half of the base of the card. I used a piece of DCWV paper from their 12 x 12 Glitter Stack paper pack, cut it to 2" x 5 1/4", used a Fiskars' Threading Water boarder punch on it and attached it to the bottom half of the base of the card using my ATG gun. I used my Cricut Expression with my "Winter Frolic" cartridge and The Paper Company Value Pack cardstock and cut the ornament at 3 1/2". The hook and the star on it were cut with DCWV white glitter paper from their 12x12 Glitter Stack paper pack. I attached the orname...
