Good afternoon What's Scrapping!

It's Sunday which means it's time for some new wall art....

Today I'd like to share a painting of Hello Kitty that I did for my daughter.....

Here's what you'll need:

a projector

one sheet of transparency film

fine tip sharpie

First, you'll need to find the image that you want to paint and trace the picture onto the transparency film with your sharpie. Then place the transparency onto the projector and line it up to your canvas. Trace the image onto the canvas with a pencil. Last but not least, go to town and get it painted!!!!!

Crafty Tuesday Mini Bird Cage Album

Hello, this Tuesday at What Scrapping is a Mini Bird Cage Album. I bought this bird cage at the dollar store. I decided to decorate it and use it to house my mini bird album. I used my Big Shot and the Bird with Wing die by Sizzix. I used chipboard to create the album. This I used Basic Grey papers I had to cover the album. I used some jewels, and fairy dust to embellish the album. On the bird cage, I used Tim Holtz chain to hang the cage and turqoise frilly trims around the bottom of the cage. I used Jenni Bowlin butterflies on the top of the cage along with a pearl jewel. And thats it, simple and enexpensive to create! Thank you for looking! Simply Create by Denise

Sunday Wall Art 7.2.11

Good afternoon What's Scrapping?

I hope that you are all having a wonderful weekend!

For today's wall art, I'd like to share "Bloom". For this piece, I used the papers from EP's Country Drive which is featured in the July Scraptastic Club kit "Sweet Summertime"

 and here are some close-ups

For this project you will need the following items:

patterned paper

2 sheets of cardstock

1 wooden shadow box

3 small wooden picket fences

embroidery floss

Tim Holtz Distress stain

alphabet stickers

buttons

paint

glue

dimensional squares

mod podge

So, I started with a 12x12 piece of blue cardstock (bazzill whirlpool). Then I took my piece of white cardstock (bazzill white) and cut a 10 inch rounded square with my Cricut Imagine and adhered it to the blue cardstock. Next, I cut 6 1 inch hearts from each of my patterned papers (I used 11 different patterned papers). I then used my Imaginisce D-Stress tool on all of the edges of the hearts and then I went around all the edges with my Tim Holtz Distress stain (vintage photo). I placed my "flowers" around on the page until I was happy with where they all were, then one by one I glued down all of the bottom layers. I then took the remaining hearts and gave them a little crease down the middle, put a little strip of glue down the middle of the bottom heart and placed the top heart on the glue. When they were all dry, I popped the edges up for some dimension and glued down the button middles. For them stems of my flowers, I hand drew the stitching first, then I made all the wholes and went to town with my needle and floss. Once I was finished with my flowers, I painted my picket fences with a cream color and when that was dry, I attached them to my page with some of my AC foam dimensional square dots. For the "grass" I took some green twine (11 1/2 yard sections) folded each one into fourths, tied them into a knot in the middle, then I cut the looped ends to open them up. Then I took my glue and added a dot on the paper behind the fence and placed my "grass"there to dry. I then added my alphabet stickers in the upper right hand corner and traced them with a colored sharpie. 

For the shadow box:

I painted it with a white acrylic paint and when it was dry I sanded it all down so that it was smooth (I don't care for splinters so much). For my final step, I painted a good bit of Mod Podge on the inside of the shadow box and attached my paper!

Thanks for letting me share with you today! I hope that you all have a great 4th!
