A brief overview of creating my Home Sweet Home Block.

 

The first thing I did was choose a stencil for the background effect.  I applied gesso over the stencil on the front of the block, the sides, top and bottom of the block.  Then I left it to dry.

 

Once the gesso had dried I used the archival blank ink to stamp the House onto the front of the block.  I used he archival ink to stamp the top if the house and roof onto paper and then adhered the paper to sturdy cardboard.  The stamp set is from Close to my Heart. Each of the windows ad bricks are separate so you can customize your house however you choose.  I then colored the house and adhered the top of the house to the block.

 

I used a wooden clothes pin and cut a strip of patterned paper to adhere to the top of the clothes pin. I glue the cloths pin to the block.

 

I use the "Home" stitched stamp with the archival ink onto a piece of linen.  Once the linen dried I adhered it to sturdy cardboard and clipped it into the clothes pin. I used the archival ink on the patterned paper to give it a weathered look. I also took the archival ink pad and went around the edges of the block.

 

I used a small star punch and punched several stars out of a sticky back cork board paper. I placed three stars on the left side of the block.  I used the wire to create a floating look to the three stars above the house. I twisted three wires together and adhered them to the back of the roof of the house. Then I stuck two stars together with the wire in the middle.  and slightly bent them.

 

 

 

Hope you love my Home Sweet Home!! Please check out my blog www.jessicalibasci.wordpress.com for more fun creations.

 

 

 



 

Quotes - August Designer Challenge

I must admit that I´m not a big fan of quotes. But I´m always up for a challenge. One quote that has stuck into my mind and one that I sort live by "Sweat is fat crying". I love to work out at the gym!

I made this layout using mixed media techniques. The background was made with a lot of gesso and paint splatters with really wet metallic water paint. I used a Linnie Blooms canvas shape that I stamped on with permanent ink as a backdrop for my photo. The Linnie Blooms canvas butterfly was painted with the same metallic paint as I dribbled on the background.

The buttons and chipboard was a variety of colors, so I covered them with a thin layer of gesso to hold it all together.

The picture was taken at my local gym - Victory Gym.

Have a really nice day - and from a nutty Cardiac Nurse - move and think of what you eat!

Darlings - A little bit of Valtentine

Are you celebrating Valentines Day? Our family don´t that much. Maybe some heartshaped candy will be bought, but we don´t do any major celebrating. But at my work we celebrate with heart shaped candy, cake and hugs. Might have something to do with us working with hearts....

So here comes two of my Valentines on my February DT project. The page is about my two lovely kids!

 I have used the canvas stars and arrows on this. The stars have got a bit of black in on the edges and some sparkly paint on top. The paint comes from Ayeeda (13@arts).

I made the background by using leftover paper pieces that I glued on my background paper. Then I covered it randomly with heavy modeling paste that I dabbed my palette knife in to archive the structure. Then some ink and water, some stamps and the lovely decorations to finish it of.

Material used: Patterned papers; Chic Tags School House + leftovers. Embellishments; Acrylic arrow (Basic Grey). Flair (American Crafts). Tiny Word stickers (My Mind´s Eye). Clothes Pin (Pebbles). Alphas (Dear Lizzie). Cork Arrow (Studio Calico).

You look like me

Hi everone! Today is the fist day I post as a new designer for Linnie Blooms. I feel so happy and excited about this new adventure and love working with the canvas products.

I´m showing you a page made by using the 12x12 Canvas Blanks as my background.

Since my project involved a couple of different mediums I choose to prep the canvas with gesso on the area where I planned to add the mediums.

If you look close you can visualize that I also used the Canvas leaves on my project. The grid effect was aschived by stamping with a clear stamp from Cocoa Daisy.

Well I hope I could inspire you today! Please visit my blog for more inspiration.

Linnie Blooms - Sassy Time

I have the pleasure of bringing to you another project I created for Linnie Blooms.

For this project, I used:

Linnie Blooms Canvas Long Blank

I love working with the  Linnie Blooms Canvas Long Blank.  They are the perfect size!

  To create the above:

1.  Applied light gesso wash

2.  Blended three colors of Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Faded Jeans,  Peacock Feathers, Gathered Twigs) to create the background.

3.  Stamped the GinaK images using Jet Black Archival Ink

4.  Hand-lettered "Life is like a camera...),

 Working with the canvas the ideas are endless.  Check out the Linnie Blooms store.to see all the canvas pieces that only are limited by your imagination.

Thanks for looking.

Hydrangea ~ Linnie Bloom Design Idea

 I have been thinking about this piece for quite some time and it finally came together today. It is my latest design for Linnie Blooms using their canvas shape ~ small butterfly.

I started with one of my favorite color pallet purples and greens. After I covered my 8″ X 10″ canvas with sewing pattern tissue that I had drizzled with ink, I gave it a quick sketch of my flower and a light thin coat of white gesso. Before it dried, I wiped away some of the gesso so that the layer beneath would still show through.

I painted in the leaves, starting with a dark, transparent forest green and layered on a turquoise, moss green and bright yellow green to shape and form them a bit. The flower was dark purple and some of the white gesso mixed in here and there. I tried to keep it loose and free. A little of the darkest purple for line details around the leaves and blossom completed most of the painting portion of this piece.

background and leaves

To create the flower petals, I took the small butterfly canvas shapes and colored them with Gellato Paint Sticks in blues, greens, purple and pink. A light brushing with water softened the look of the petals and blended the colors together. After drying overnight, I scrunched them together and stitched the center points together as well as the folds that formed. I used a total of 13 small butterfly canvas shapes for this piece.

I arranged the petals in a pleasing arrangement on my work bench, then used hot glue to attach them to the canvas. After I removed any loose canvas and hot glue threads, I signed my piece. I think it turned out pretty well and would like to try a few more of these.
I saw some white hydrangeas yesterday that are turning brown with age. They were the prettiest shades of white, cream, touched with pink and a bit of brown. This sure would make a pretty pallet. I also would like to try more blues and purples as well as mostly pinks.

Sassy Time

I have the pleasure of bringing to you another project I created for Linnie Blooms.

For this project, I used:

Linnie Blooms Canvas Pennants

Linnie Blooms Medium Canvas Butterfly

Linnie Blooms Small Canvas Butterfly

Golden Fiber Paste

Stampin Up alphabet

Vintage dictionary meaning of "joy"

Stickles

Gesso

Gelattos

3 Girl Jam wrinkle ribbon

Bling and buttons from my stash

Burlap frame

I love all the textures!

For the Linnie Blooms Canvas Pennants, I gave them a light coat of gesso and then worked with reds and pinks to shade.  The canvas butterflies also received a gesso coat, followed by acrylic paint in two different shades of pink.  I stamped on one and splattered with a flick of paint on the other.  Both were outlines in gesso and embellished with the buttons and 3 Girl Jam wrinkle ribbon.

This was an easy project.  Working with the canvas the ideas are non-stop.  It, too, is so easy to work with so if you haven't tried it, check out the Linnie Blooms store.

Thanks for looking.

I started out with this square piece of canvas.  Painted it with white gesso, dabbed it with mixed yellow and white paint and let dry.  I stamped my image on it and then  I painted it in with Stickles and liquid pearls.  I used heirloom gold Perfect Pearls mists after everything was dry all over my project.

This is actually a mini album, and the blank is perfect for my cover.  :)
