ATC Sunday

Welcome to my new series!  Each Sunday I will share an ATC using random items from my stash.  I have so many scraps I can't just throw out so here is my solution.  I hope I can keep up with it and I hope you get inspired to use up your leftovers as well.

Have a great Sunday!

Melissa Frances Altered Canvas

I have an exciting project share today featuring Melissa Frances Resin Wings.  I have wanted to incorporate my scrapbooking embellishments with my mixed media paintings but I wasn't sure how to approach to the idea.  I got my wings out of hiding and used them as the focal point to this painting.

The background has many layers of paint, masking tape, 

tissue papers and gel mediums to create textures and depth.

As you can see the resin wings take acrylic paint nicely.

I used chipboard letters to create my sentiment.  I painted over them many times (I couldn't make up my mind on the color) but finally ended up with blue.  I did lots of dry brushing with white on top of the letters to help them blend a bit into the background.

I had fun mixing in different colors and splattering paint everywhere.

I used stencils and tissue tape within my layers.

I hope you enjoyed this project!

I plan to create a tutorial soon!  

Please visit the Melissa Frances Blog as this project will be featured there!

Altered Burlap Pencil Cases

If you've seen my previous Target haul vid then you might have seen this pencil case.

 

I wanted to share a few more I've made.  I can't wait to use these as gifts.  I have two birthday's coming up and I plan to stuff these full of girly gifts!

Thanks for stopping by!

This Week's Scripture

I decided to start a weekly Bible verse share!

This week's verse comes from 2 Corinthians 5:7.

We live by faith and not by sight.
