Mixed Media Canvas

Good morning. My project I would like to share is a mixed media canvas that I made for our home. The canvas is 9x12" I used a combination of various papers ,paints, stamps, stencils and inks. I also did some doodling with a fine black marker. This was a lot of fun to make and I absolutely love how it turned out. I will be posting more mixed media projects that I'm working on soon .

Christmas Stocking

For todays project I used the free stocking template from Val's Digital Designs. The digital stamp is Santa Hearts all so  from Val's Digital Designs. For the stocking I printed it at actual size so I could make it into a gift card holder, I then cut all the template pieces out laid them on my card stock and traced around them with a pencil, then I cut them out and glued all the pieces together. The image I colored with prisma pencils and all the card stock I used is from Stampin'Up. I still have to punch a hole in one side of the cuff and put ribbon through to hang it on the tree. Hope You enjoyed todays  project   don't forget www.valsdigitaldesigns.com have a sale on 50% off all their Christmas digital stamps. Thanks for stopping by. Val

Challenge Announcement

I am so excited to announce that Val's Creative Studio will be hosting challenges for www.valsdigitaldesigns.com. Today I would like to share with you what that challenge will be. Since Val's Digital Designs has 50% off  all of their Christmas stamps and 2 free templates in the store I have decided we will be making a Christmas project using the stamps and the templates. For my project I used the mitten template and Stars Snowman digital stamp. I made my project into a gift card or money holder. You can do whatever you like as long as the template and a Val's Digital Stamp are used. Some ideas I had are gift tags. Christmas tree ornaments, cards, banners etc.  The thing I love most about digital stamps is you can resize them for whatever project you are working on. For my Gift card holder I printed it at actual size  and that gave me 3 inches across the top off the mitten ( not the cuff) so a gift card will fit in it vertically .  The Challenge will start on November 15th so click on the Challenges  For Val's Digital Designs on the banner here on my blog  for more information and to link to the challenge. I hope you will play along and join us  for a chance to win some free digital stamps of your choice.

  Here are the front and back of my project . Hope all have a great day ! Val
