Outdoor Design Challenge!!

Hello Bloomers! It is Jessica LiBasci here from Scatter Joy with Jessann! Today I want to share what I have created with the wonderful Linnie Blooms Products! This month the design team members were given a challenge. We were challenged to portray what kind of outdoor fun you we would have this month by using our awesome Linnie Blooms Products. Here is what I created, a family camping trip invitation tag!!

I used the Linnie Blooms Flutter Stencil and Mask to create my little owl and his tree branch, also Linnie Blooms Canvas Stars for accents and for my Camping Trip announcement. I love the Linnie Blooms products they are so much fun and have so many uses. 
Check out www.linnieblooms.com for so many wonderful products! She just started an awesome monthly Kit Club for only $29! That is a crazy great deal! 
Hope you guys enjoy my little owl tag. Come visit me at www.jessicalibasci.wordpress.com!

Art Journal Times Together...

Hey, Hey friends!!!! Happy Friday It's me Scrappin Madge!!! Whoop Whoop! Is there any better way to start off the weekend than by playing with some yummy Linnie Bloom products???
A few weeks ago I shared with you the cover and the first two pages of my journal.  To check out that blog post click {HERE}.  In that blog post I said that I would continue to share my art journal as I went.  Today I have 1 more pages, a pocket and a tag to share with you!

I used gellatos like watercolors.  Then I used some molding paste and paint.  I then used Heidi Swapp mist sprays.  (Allowing each layer to dry before adding another)  I then took the canvas shapes and sprayed them with several different colors of spritz.  After they were dry I attached them to my canvas journal using fabric fusion {HERE}.  When they were good and dry I took my Faber Castle black marker and drew doors and windows and chimneys on the houses.  Then I took some Gold Leaf Rub n Buff to the journal.  Next I stamped the sentiment Good Times Together.  I just love how this page turned out!

Butterfly pocket:
I started off by spraying the canvas with some Lindy's Stamp Gang flat spritz sprays.  I allowed it to dry.  I then took the butterfly stencil from Linnie Blooms {HERE} and used some embossing paste {HERE} I then took some silver embossing powder and made this great butterfly.  I also stamped the word believe on the same pocket as the butterfly.  I misted some fun glitter mist to make it sparkle!!!

Dream Tag:
I stamped the image of the girl first, then stamped the dream sentiment, next I stamped the heart.  I used my heat gun to make sure that the black ink was set before I started to use my spritz ink on the canvas.  I used the Heidi Swapp Gold shimmer mist {HERE}to give it some sparkle. The Stamp set is a CTMH stamp set.

Be sure to stay tuned, for two more pages of this journal.  My next post day is next Friday!

"2014" Canvas Blank

Hey There!!! It’s Rochelle today and I have just a little something to wish you all a Happy New Year!

This is a 5"x12” canvas blank I altered with Gelatos.  I also used Linnie Blooms Canvas Stars and tried something different. I used Rangers embossing powder to embossed the stars and I really like how the texture came out!  

Here’s a close up on the stars:

And that is it for 2013! I hope you all have a very safe and happy New Year!

Bird Pin or Hair Clip by Pinky

Good morning Linnie Bloom friends, 

Pinky here today with a step by step tutorial for making this 

Linnie Blooms bird pin/hair clip. It could be used as either.

This is a "Wearable Art" post for sure!

• Start with Linnie Blooms Canvas Bird, and Canvas Leaves. 
• Coat each in embossing pad- Press firmly 3 times into pad. 
• Dust with embossing powders. (I used a multi colored for the bird and brass color for the wing).

• Using a Heat Gun- heat emboss powder onto canvas. Repeat if desired color is not strong enough. 

•  Coat Linnie Blooms pieces in Glossy Accents.
• Set to dry overnight. 

•  Using a clip pin- coat with mixed media adhesive. (Beacon Quick Grip works well).

•  Turn bird over and press into clip at desired position. 

•  Set to dry for a minimum of 1 hour I actually recommend all day. 

•  Adhere "wing" using same adhesive. 

•  Apply bronze pearl pen for accent pearls. 

 That's it! Now you have a wonderful pin for your jacket or hair clip. 

Very artistic and it would make a wonderful gift!

I hope you enjoyed my post and it pushes you to think outside of the box.

Until next time- Keep on creating!
