My Craft Spot - Day 4

Happy Thursday! Hope you are having a great week.Today we are sneaky peeking Merry Christmas. I decided to make a mini home decor item.


It has ribbon to hang on a wall/tree. When we are visiting friends and family I always like to take a little something extra and it's small enough for most people to find room for!

Instructions


I took a blank 3.5 x 2.5 canvas  and painted with cream acrylic paint.Heat blasted(yes I am impatient!). Then used Willow and Lemonade Adirondack acrylic paint dabbers and heat blasted again.
I then added Distress Ink in Shabby Shutters,Fired Brick and Brushed Corduroy. Then dusted with Perfect Pearls Heirloom Gold.

I inked up my stamp with black archival ink and laid it down on my worktop and took my canvas to it.
Then added some stars,also from this stamp set. When dried I coloured them with yellow acrylic paint and added Glamour Dust.

To make the ribbon rose(pretend poinsetia in my world!lol),I used a scrap circle of card and covered with adhesive.I scrunched some yellow crinkle ribbon for the centre and then twisted cranberry crinkle ribbon around it.I then cut away the extra card and secured the end with glue and sprinkled the flower with Glamour Dust.
Added Olive Green crinkle ribbon at the bottom with a ruffle and Cream to hang it with.
All the ribbons are from My Craft Spot.


Kimberly has some lovely blog candy for you again today. It is the Mistletoe Seam Binding set and all you have to do is check out all the amazing projects and leave her a comment over at My Craft Spot.

The final sneaky peek of Kimberly's gorgeous winter stamp sets tomorrow and then we have a fabulous blog hop on Saturday with a chance to win one of the new sets at each hop on the way.

Don't forget Cindy of Cindy's Scraptastic Designs is starting a new challenge on her blog on Monday called Scraptastic Mondays. To celebrate we are having a blog hop  tomorrow from 7pm EST. Cindy is offering some fabulous blog candy .
I do hope you can join  both blog hops as you won't be disappointed.

Have a fabulous day.

Hugs

  16. I love the idea of the mini canvas. I have one of those and I'm just gonna have to get it out and do something similiar to yours. That is such a neat idea and an awesome gift to give someone when you come and visit. Like you said, everyone has room for it.
    Thanks for sharing.

  17. Ok... So I saw these mini-canvas sets the other day and thought they were about the cutest thing I had ever seen... but... what in the world would I do with them, so I left them there. Needless to say, I will be stopping by on my way to work tomorrow to pick them up. This is a brilliant little desk gift! Fantastic!!!
