Vintage Chic, Swirlydoos 2nd reveal

Hello everyone!! Today I'm revealing my last two projects using the Swirlydoos March Kit, Vintage Chic. This was such  a wonderful kit to work with. I love Prima Engraver line and all the goodies Krissy matched up! I know there are lots of it clubs out there, but this really is the best club. Not only are the kits amazing, but the forums are such a awesome place to be. :0)

First up, is a scrapbook page. The picture is my hubby and me on our 14th anniversary this past Christmas. Well, not Christmas, but the day after...lol! It's not very often that I scrap us. The reason being, one of us is always behind the camera. We were getting ready to go out for dinner, when my oldest daughter took some pictures of us. I think she did a great job! She got my good side....lol!!!

Always and Forever

I did lots of layering and distressing. I wanted a girly grunge so it could both be feminine and masculine.

 

 OMG!! I love love love the project kit this month!! It featured the Bobunny Day Planner AND extra inserts! I so NEED a planner! When it comes to birthday and addresses I'm so unorganized. Being the purple lover that I am, I had to incorporate it into something I plan on keeping for a looooong time!

Here is my cover....hope you like~

Thanks for taking the time!!

 

 Until my next post.....

The opening project I'd like to share with you is my very first canvas. Stepping out of my comfort zone here!!
I was completely inspired by the Ultimate Designer Challenge Week 4: Create a Textured Canvas. All the entries were beyond amazing and I was motivated to try it out. I love the look and it was so fun to make. I've been missing out :)

Using the Black Gesso(love this stuff) that came in the Embellishment Add-on, I painted an 8x10 canvas. Once dried I used the Prima mask, also came in the Embellishment Add-on, and Molding Paste. When the molding paste was dried I went over the canvas again with Black Gesso and wiping it off. This made the mask design not so bright white. Then I went in with some Martha Stewart Metallic Paint brushing here and there lightly. I added in a touch of green with Silks Olive Vine paint.

Once it was all dry I added all the beautiful embellishments.

This is my Delilah on Valentines Day. While going through my thousand of  photo files, I came upon these photos. This kit is not themed at all but it worked! I went with the colors in her outfit....beige, black, white and pink. I did lots of layering and a bit of masking. Using molding paste and mixing in a bit of Dusty Attic  Dusty Pink paint, I created some texture. The pretty butterflies an item from my Etsy Shop. You can find the Wilted Rose Butterflies HERE.

Pretty Cute

 

This page was created using the Kit Sketch. My two youngest babies have the greatest relationship. So, when I first saw the sketch I knew exactly what pictures to use.The butterflies I used here I created while making this page. You can find these newest additions to my shop HERE.
