Another Linnie Blooms Mixed Media Project!

Hello Crafters! Today I am sharing with you an altered Bingo Album cover that I've had for quite sometime now! I kept saying I was keeping it for something real special and when I got my hands on some fun Linnie Bloom's Canvas Shape Pieces I just knew I wanted to use this Bingo Album.

The Canvas Blanks come with the stitching. I added a combination of Mists and Gelatos to color the Canvas Blank and then used a Heidi Swapp stamp for "Forever" and rub-ons for "us".  

Here's a close up on the birdie.  I first used Dylusions white spray for the bird and then added a little bit of Gelatos.  I used Gelatos and a background script stamp for the wing.

 Linnie Blooms products:  Canvas Blanks, Canvas Birdies and Canvas Leaves.

RCS Blog Hop

Just because there's not snow on the ground, doesn't mean Christmas can't be celebrated a few months early! Happy Christmas in July, everyone, and welcome to Red Carpet Studio's Christmas in July blog hop!

If you're unfamiliar with Red Carpet Studio, we're a challenge blog that challenges crafters to create projects inspired by movies! Right now we offer alternating weekly card and layout challenges, but starting in September we'll be opening up our challenges to any types of projects that fit our theme, as well as extending the duration of the challenges to biweekly to give you awesome crafters more time to create and play along! We're also having a design team call!

Now onto my project.. I typically do not do digital layouts, but I came across this gorgeous digital kit from Sweet Shoppe Designs.  The kit is called Woodsy Wonderland by Meghan Mullens.  I love the colors and elements that came with it and I had to get it and I created this digital layout with it:

And of course we have some wonderful sponsors giving away gifts to those who are a follower of Red Carpet Studio (either through Google or Blog Lovin') and comment on EVERY stop of the hop!

Linnie Bloom's Project Reveal!

I am so excited to share with you my first project I created using Linnie Blooms Canvas pieces!

I made this wall hanger for my new craft room that I'm going to have soon!  The butterfly, Flower and Leaves are all bare canvas pieces that you purchase from the  Linnie Blooms store.

Close ups:

I used a mixture of different color mists (Tattered Angels and Maya Road) and a script background stamp on the flower.  For the leaves, I colored with Gelatos.  

For the butterfly, I started with a chevron stamp.  I tried to do a little ink resist (LOL) but I am not sure it worked! lol  Then, I accidentally mixed two different mists that created this green color.  I added embellisnments to perk it up! :) 

 Check out Linnie Blooms Blog, Store and Facebook page today! :)
