Can You Stand Some More Good News?

I am telling you that I am the luckiest girl! I am so excited to share with you my newest great news.
I have been lucky enough to be ONE of the new members chosen to join
Creative Inspirations Paint design Team!!!

This is another of those products I knew I wanted to play with-and I am so lucky to be able to.
Today is my first post so I hope I don't disappoint you with my first attempt.
I have a tutorial of sorts to share.Last week I was watching a U-stream video night with  Tracy Weinzapfel  from Helmar.
She made a heart canvas  that set my mind to thinking about using Creative Inspirations Paint.



I started with these four  mini canvases.

I started by using Gesso to prime them first. Using a baby wipe to add some colors to cover that white some.

Then I chose some colors I thought would be fun for a heart
Garnet,Rustic Red, and a little Fairy Dust.

Next I needed to pencil in a heart centered between all the canvases. I was pretty pleased with my shape.
Charcoal pencil was used to outline the image

I started by mixing the garnet and rustic red-I added some crackle medium, can't say I am thrilled with the results of this brand.
Note to self: get some real crackle medium!
India Ink and calligraphy pen are very new to me- they worked perfect to write my phrase

I decided to add some Fairy Dust at this time, I wanted a little shine on my heart.
Added a little red ribbon and some flowers and leaves to dress up the corners.
Overall I am pretty pleased with my first attempt.
Can't wait to see what I come up with next...lol
Thanks for stopping.

  11. You so deserve to be on any team, you are extremely talented and such a sweet person on top of that!!!
    I love what you did here, stunning, not sure what type of paint this is, but should be able to add shading while wet, makes me think of fabric painting, did a few canvasses myself and it is so much fun and yes, the crackle meduim can make a big difference. This would look so good against a white wall, hope you hang this.......:))
    lotsa luv
