Key to My Heart Canvas

This week starts a new challenge at Frosted Designs - Get Messy!!  Use at least 2:  Mist, Ink, paint, molding paste and/or gesso.

I used a 6 x 6 canvas, some mists, ink and paint to create my project. 

I started out with this canvas from the Forever Yours Kit and some Dylusions Ink. 

I misted and misted and layered the Bubblegum Pink and After Midnight Dylusions Ink. 

I placed the Mini Love Post template over my canvas and used White Linen Dylusions Ink over the template.  The strangest thing happened - my colors did not turn white (as I expected) they became more vibrant!! 

I loved it even more!! 

I used up the drops of extra ink with a paper towel and inked the sides of the canvas.  I then inked the edges of the canvas with Picket Fence distressed paint. 

I added a bit of detailing on the edges and the hearts with African Jade Silks Acrylic Glaze.  I love the depth this blue adds.

I really did not want to cover up too much of my canvas.  I hand cut a heart out of an adhesive piece of canvas.  I used Pearlescent Orchid Dew Drop ink and Teal Damask ink to add dimension to the heart.  I added the pearls and lace (from Sweet Love Kit) and key to finish the canvas.  I call this Key to My Heart.

Always Make Time For You

Instead of birthday gifts, I give my nieces the gift of an Aunt Lori Day for their birthdays.  They get to pick what we do - it usually includes a pedicure and lunch too.  This year, my 12 and 13 year old nieces wanted to do their day together (they are cousins) and we chose to go Glass Fusing.

I have all boys, so I treasure the time I get to spend with these girls!!!

This week at Frosted Designs, our challenge is using Graffiti, Paint, Doodling and/or Handwriting on your project.  I used Paint, Doodling and Handwriting on my layout.

I let my Cameo and a sketch pen doodle a bit on my paper.  I put some circles on my mat in random sizes and shapes to create this draw background.  I also drew a rough "L" on the bottom corner by drawing it on my cameo mat. 

I used my Juniper Acrylic Paint Dauber to ink around the circle.

I used the black sketch pen with my Cameo.  I inked some Juniper Acrylic Paint Dauber around my "L" then  I went back with a white pen and added "2014". 

I jounraled with my white pen on the doily.  

I used the Juniper ink to color these chipboard swirls.  I also journaled on the paper with my white ink pen - it was not easy to see.  I left it but also journaled on the doily.

I used the words "always", "time" and "you" for my title, adding the words make and for.

Come join our challenge at Frosted Designs!!  You can create a layout, card or other project!!
