Imagination

Hi, Hermine here. Love to work with canvases but with this canvas I like to work on the back because this has such a beautiful finish that it is more interesting to use the back instead of the front.

Some of the materials I collected to use in my project.

 

Front, at least this time it is.

Back

detail using a star made out of the PVA glue (tutorial in my previous project)

 

 

Step 1: Take a canvas and work on the backside. Paint a square with white acryllic paint and outline with a black marker. Take some tacky glue and make a smaller sqaure in the middle, when the glue gets transparant it gets sticky so you can use the metall leafing. Stamp with Stazon Black Dream Big 19047

 

Step 2: Take 3 of the wooden parts that come with the canvas (they where meant to use to stretch the canvas to pull it tight after working on it) and give them a white wash with white acryllic paint. Then stamp the Small Wasp 19011 with Stazon Black. Nail them on the bottom part of the wood of the canvas.

 

Step 3: Stamp the Grandville Chicken 18894 (twice) , The Grandville bug 18896  and the Grandville Hawk 18895 with Stazon Black on Kromecote. Make some red accents with a marker. Cut out and glue them on the Cloth pins and slide thecloth pins over the wooden parts. Take a piece of twine and glue this with PVA glue in the slot of the canvas to cover up the staples.

 

step 4: Make a star out of PVA Glue and adding some metall leafing and gold Pearls into the wet glue, let this dry for at least 2 or 3 days. Glue this on top. Take a little clock embellishment and glue on the right side of the star.

 

step 5: On the back you take a vellum quote and fasten it with different kinds of washi tape. Glue the Grandville Chicken 18894 on the right hand side. Put this aside and work on the "wheels".

 

step 6: take some vintage wooden spools and use some washi tape to enhance them. Take smaller wooden wheels, give them a white wash with white acryllic paint and stamp the Spotty Background 1461 on it with Colorbox Chalkink Charcoal. Glue them on on both sides of the wooden spools. Glue the spools at the bottom of canvas.

Greeting cards planner

 

Hi, Hermine here again. I decided to alter a greeting cards planner.

 

Step 1. Bought a ready made greeting cards planner (but you can make one yourself using a binding machine). Carefully removed front and back cover by opening the rings a bit. Painted them with black gesso. Then took a doily stencil and white acryllic paint. After drying I glued some tissue paper around the doily and on the back cover with gel medium. When dry put some white gesso over it , dried it with a heattool. When completely dry I sponged 3 colours M'xed media Inx on it and used a heattool to get it completely dry. With white acryllic paints I used a stencil (obn the left side).
step 2. Then put some M'xed Media Inx Jasmin on the chevron banner 19042 and stamped it in the middle at the top of the cover, did the same on the right and left hand side. Always heatset this ink. Then I made some hightlights at the bottom of the banners with a black fine liner and made some shades with black water crayon.
Step 3: stamp the alphabet of plate December Daily 1430 twice on a piece of white cardstock. Punch out the letters for the word "verjaardagen"(that means bithdays in english) and glue in the middle of each banner.
step 4: Stamp with Stazon Black the spotty background 1461 on the flap at the righthand side.
step 5: Stamp the boy with hands behing back 9802 with Stazon Black on white cardstock, and colour in with distress ink vintage photo and a waterbrush, then glue on the flap. Used some rhinestones on the righthandf side of the boy to get a little sparkle.
step 6: take some washi tape and tape all the edges around the front as well as on the back cover.

This planner was on my wish/to-do list for a long time and when I saw this planner on sale I couldn't resist any longer, I simply had to make it and it looks great in my room and makes that I don;t forget any birthdays anymore :o)
