Use Your Wings Mixed Media Burlap Canvas By Kim

Good morning Rosies! Kim here today and I am sharing a mixed media burlap canvas I have altered using lots of White Rose Crafts goodies!

I cut out 3 large hearts from the Lemoncraft Yesterday paper, and used that as my base to start. I had the image of the fairy in my stash, which was sent to me from a friend. The flowers are from Artemio Rhinestone & Paper Flower set.

I also added a little resin cherub from my stash as well.

I love the Altair Art butterfly ephemera from the WRC store and I added some Dovecraft glitter glue in crystal to the wings to make them sparkle.

The fairy also had to have some sparkly wings too!

I added a few laces, cheesecloth, doilies, and some very old tatting to give shabby vintage vibe to the canvas.

I also used the Tim Holtz stamp from Stampers Anonymous "French Market" to add some scripty writing to the canvas.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and will check out all the great items in the White Rose Crafts Store.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you have found some inspiration here today.

Creative Creations

Volume II, Episode III

We want to start this week's Creative Creations off with this month's winner picked at random from the January Sketch Challenge.

Congratulations Meghan Kennihan, you have just won a $15 White Rose Crafts e-gift card! Please email whiterosecraftsllcblog@gmail.com to claim your prize.

Now, did you notice that all week the Design Team was playing with water activated inks? that's right...the WRC team has been creating some of the most gorgeous projects using Stamping inks that change and adjust based on water application. It is easy to do, since WRC carries three different types of water activated inks in addition to the vast array of stamping inks. WRC carries both Distress Oxides and Distress Inks, but also carries the lesser known, and brighter ScrapBerry Stains.

It is amazing all the different types of projects the Designs team was able to come up with using these water activated inks. Just in case you missed things, here are some of the highlights!

Laura

Using the large background stamp, Ubud Dreams from Kaisercraft, Laura create this stunning CAS card using Distress Oxide in Peacock Feathers.

Esther

In a fun twist of irony, Esther also pulled out the Ubud Dreams stamp and created this colorful and bold card using her Distress Inks and Distress Crayons.

Kim

Kim created these gorgeous layered cards using Distress Oxides. Kim really is a genius with the Mixed Media Card. Pop over to her page to see how she assembled these cards.

EK shared this week how all three of the different inks look when using two different classic water ink techniques to the differences between the three.

It appears this week that not only have we spotted some of your great works, but we have been spotted ourselves.

White Rose Crafts Owner Kay and Design Team Member EK were spotted Saturday at the WRC make and table at a crop in Virgina by several Rosies.

Donna I. shared the Make and Take from this event she whipped up over on the WRC Gallery Page.

Alison

We also spotted Alison creating this fun shaker card using distress oxides and Sparkle Blend Sequins.

Want to be spotted, then upload your creations to the White Rose Crafts Gallery and use the #whiterosecraftsusa on social media.

Mixed Media ATC's Using Distress Oxides & Water By Kim

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. This week the team are working with the water activated inks that WRC has in stock. I chose to use my favorite Distress Oxides for my ATC's.

I started off with some Paintable paper from The Tales of You and Me collection by Prima, and cut the paper down to ATC size, which is 2.5 inches x 3.5 inches. This particular paper pad is sold out in the WRC store, but they do have the Salvage District Paintable paper in stock and that would work for this project.

Now on to the Oxides! I used several colours, but started off with the Evergreen Bough. I smeared some on my craft mat and then activated it with water. I then took my atc and ran it thru the activated ink and the pattern on the paper appeared like magic!

This is just one way to activate the Distress Oxides with water, the second way is to go direct to paper with your ink. I did that below with my other colours Dried Marigold....

Peacock Feathers, and also I used Victorian Velvet. All can be found in the WRC Store!

Here is the result on the paper of all 4 of my ATC's.

Now its time to activate them with the water. I am using a spritzer bottle from my local dollar store for this. It has a nice fine mist on it, so I get good coverage with the water.

Here is the result once it is dry.

Now on to some background stamping using the Tim Holtz Stampers Anonymous Stamp set called French Market.

To add embellishments to my ATC's I am using the Kaisercraft wood flourishes and also the Melissa Francis resin key embellishments. I gave them all a coat of white paint.

Now its time to put them all together. I added some lace to the background for some fun texture, my embellishments and also a Tim Holtz small talk phrase to finish them off.

I also added some Recollections flowers and some Dress It Up button embellishments for some fun.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and will check out all the White Rose Crafts items in the shop!

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have found some inspiration here.

From quilting to card-making.....this technique came alive again for me today. I used the stack and whack method from quilting to design a set of Valentine's note cards that could be gifted or really used anytime of year!!!!

These were so incredibly fun to make and easy as all of the supplies from the Love Story Kit, Kit Add On Section and White Rose Crafts LLC were used!!! Love, Love,Love the Kits from White Rose Crafts LLC as everything you need is right at your fingertips to make sensational creations.

For this project I picked 5 papers from the kit and cut them each to fit my card base. I think an odd number of papers always works best. Then I stacked them on top of one another and made random cuts using my paper trimmer turning the paper after each cut to get different shapes. I cut the whole stack at the same time to get the same shape in each piece of designed paper. Then a took the different shaped stacks and laid them out and I rotated their use on the card bases. 5 papers equals 5 cards that are the same but different!

I used the two different heart dies and cut out out one of each using the paper scraps from kit and adhered them to each card. Added some bling from the kit and Whola - a set of 5 note cards was made.

I am a stamper at heart but this was super fun and knowing me I will probably stamp the envelopes using the stamp set included in the kit!!! Why not pick yourself up a kit and a few adds on today and create something beautiful? Don't miss out on these Subscription Kits from White Rose Crafts LLC as they are exclusive to them!!!
