POE Mini banner

Hey Everyone, Dawn here again with another Fall project.  In my store we are working on Fall and Holiday projects so I'm all in.  This would make a nice hostess gift for a Halloween Party.
I love ravens...I even named my car Raven so when I got this stamp I had to use it...this is just the beginning for this stamp. :)

 I used the Linnie Blooms 11x5 canvas to make my mini banner. I also used the Linnie Blooms canvas fence.

 So I got out some inks to decide what exactly what I wanted to do. I knew I wanted a night sky and maybe some moonlight.

 Couldn't get exactly what I wanted with moonlight but I do like the color. And I inked the fence with Distressed ink Vintage Photo color

 Then I had the idea to stamp the image on the canvas and emboss it with a new black glittery embossing powder I just got but it didn't work...oops.  hmmm....I do like the glitter it left behind but the image is too light. So..........

 I used a piece of suede colored paper and stamped the image on it and then inked it and left a little glow around the raven for the moonlight I wanted. :)  Then stamped POE..just because.

 I added the "grass"...which is just a piece of fiber I had and the fence with the little spooky card and pumpkin to the bottom of the banner.

 I used the Tim Holtz chitchat words for Beware and hung it on the tree branch along with the moon.

 The moon and raven look like they are discussing who is spookier...:D

 My husband painted the tree branches with black Krylon paint for me.

 I used Twinklets on the tree to give it an icy look...I LOVE how it turned out!  I used little clips in the corner and some ribbon and trim to hang it.  *Tip* I also put a popsicle stick between the clips (and held by the clips) in back to keep it from buckling when I hang it. :)

 I used Diamond Stickles to bling a few things like the pumpkins eyes.

 I just love the Twinklets on the black branch. When the light hits it..it really sparkles.

 And there you go...:)

I hope you enjoyed my project and it's very easy to make.

Hi Friends! Abby here with ScrappinAbby and today I have a project to share with you that gives you a peek into a special weekend with my hubby & myself. I created a mixed media layout that uses not one...not two...but three Linnie Bloom products. 

 I have a short video that shows you the project up close along with the Linnie Bloom items I used...

My hubby and I just celebrated our 5 year anniversary on July 19th and we went to the beautiful Oregon Coast for a special weekend. I wanted to create a mixed media layout that I could add to my gallery wall in our living room and the Linnie Blooms goodies I used just added that special touch.

I wanted to recreate the gorgeous sun we saw when I took this photo of us so I used the Bloom Stencil along with some Lindy's spray to create the illusion of a sun in the background...

It might be hard to tell since I have scrap paper covering the cardstock but this is in the upper right hand corner of the page...love how this turned out : )

I wanted use the Canvas Picket Fence and I knew right away how I wanted to incorporate this on my layout. Since we were on the beach, I wanted to make this fence look like it had been exposed to the sun and sand a bit so I used a couple of Lindy's sprays and a stencil to make it look weathered a little bit...

 I was SO excited to get the chance to use one of the new stamp sets that are coming to Linnie Blooms soon. Linda has designed some stamps that tie in with the Mixed Stitch concept she has and I love how it added that special touch to my project....

Ready for some photos of the completed layout???

This was such a fun layout to create and I love how the Linnie Blooms products I used really added to the look I was going for. 

Be sure to head to the Linnie Blooms SHOP and pick up some of these FAB goodies to use in your crafting projects. 

Thanks for stopping by the LB blog today and for checking out another ScrappinAbby project. 

Happy Crafting : )
