Inspirational Tip of the Day

Do you find yourself looking at something in your stash and are totally lacking any inspiration??  Well my tip for the day is.....visit the manufacturers website!!  I was totally lost when looking at one of my hero arts stamps yesterday, so I thought to myself I will just hop over to their blog and see if there were any projects posted with the stamp I was hoping to use....and there was a video tutorial using a stamp nearly the same as mine!!  Anyway out came the sewing machine today and this is the result!!  I can't wait to use it on an off the page canvas project!!  I will keep you posted. 


The fabric is from a Moda 5" stack and I have used calico as a backing fabric. I have stamped the image with Stazon and then machine stitched around the flowers petals Then I cut away the rest of the fabric leaving a 2-3 mm border out from the stitching. I cut some small slits on the back and popped a small amount of stuffing between the 2 layers. I tried a button in the centre of the flower, but it just looked like a big hand holding a button, so I hand embroidered some stamens and used some self adhesive pearls to finish it off!  


Anyway hope this little tip inspires you to get crafty today too!
The possibilities are endless now the seed has been planted!!

Copic Colouring on old Book Page

This card was created by stamping the image with Stazon ink onto the page of an old book. I then coloured the image with copic markers with a pretty good result. The ink blended well on this paper as it was very absorbent. The flower was made using a scallop circle punch. You can see tutorials for this project on my You Tube channel at http://www.youtube.com/user/TaniaBrown561. Enjoy!!

Tip of the Day

Do you have a template but OH NO!!  It is the wrong size for your project??  No problem, simply enlarge or reduce the template on a photocopier and cut it out. No excuses.....now you will have the perfect size template every time!!

Canvas Project of Joshua

Very late one night last week, I decided to make this 8 x 8 canvas project!!  I have attached all the papers and embellishments to the canvas so that I can change the photo if I want to !!  I am still trying to think of a caption to put on the tag...... it will come to me I am sure!!  This is a great, quick little project for a gift, or I have put a magnet on mine to hang on the fridge.
