Mygrafico Monday Feature ~ Fall into Fall

Here I am back with another Monday Feature for Mygrafico.  Still continuing in our theme of Fall cards.... the team got to work with a fabulous set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff....

Not only does it have these fabulous images in JPG and PNG formats but it also has SVG cutting files for use with SCAL, MTC or other cutting software that supports SVG files and die cut machines that support SVG files.  How cool is that!  I don't have an electronic cutting machine, so I worked with the images and cut them out by hand.

I used a Hero Arts stamp ~ Square Pattern Background ~ and Kaleidacolor ink in "Autumn" and trimmed a piece for my centre panel.  I printed out the pumpkins and fussy cut.  I highlighted the shadows on the pumpkins with a glitter pen.  I added some curls of wire to the stems.   The sentiment is from a Simon Says stamp set.   I finished with some faux stitching around my card.
Entering this into Addicted to Stamps ~ Autumn Colours

Pop over to the blog to see the other's came up with.    And a heads up.... there's a DT call coming up shortly over at Mygrafico ....so if you love working with digi's and can do some fun projects and take some creative photos.... then keep an eye open and try out for the team...

I've had a great evening organising my distress inks and labelling them.   Do you know, I'm only missing one colour of distress ink... I didn't even realise I had that many!!!!!!

Mygrafico Monday Feature ~ Seaside Sketches

WARNING:  Photo heavy post....

Hi all.... for today's feature we got to use this fabulous set from Lindsay's Stamp Stuff

My project today shows that you can do different things with digital images.

 

I did a 6" x 6" canvas....  

"Now how did she do that?"... I hear you ask... well I'll show you....

First off, I made a 6x6 Word document and layered on the image.

I printed it out onto copy paper and then taped some tissue paper over the top and put it through the printer again 

I then coloured this with Copics

Next I prepared my canvas by painting it with Gesso and after that dried, with blue and yellow watercolour paints.

My next step was to cover the canvas with Gel medium and then added the trimmed coloured tissue

Another coat of the Gel medium which caused the tissue to disappear into the canvas

 Once this had all dried, I added the Hessian ribbon with a hot glue gun

Then I sorted my shells ( collect in June on our weekend at Mangawhai) and glued to the canvas 

And that's it.. one  6" x 6" canvas completed.

And here are a couple of close ups of the canvas

Thanks for hanging in there... hope you found this interesting.  It's great to try something different.

Do pop over to the blog and see what the rest of the team came up with... and don't forget our challenge here.... lets see your beach projects.
