Glittered Backgrounds and Vellum Flowers

I have some lovely vellum flowers to show you along with some beautiful glittered backgrounds.

First, pop over to the Scrapadabadoo Blog 

to watch the video on how to do these

awesome glittered backgrounds using

glitter, stencils, and adhesive backed paper.

Now, for the vellum flowers.
They are very easy to make and you will get stunning results.

I have used vellum and the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die for these.

This first video shows how to color the vellum and how to make the large flower. 

The second video shows how to make the daisy type medium flower and the smaller  yellow flowers.

Over thinking- LSG Sprays on Canvas

So for the 3rd month in a row, I have been over thinking my project for the LSG monthly color Challenge. Since I am just starting my collection, I have to order the products. While I wait for them to be sent, I think about all the things I can do for a project...
I OVER think it. Then I make something, and it is not what I pictured so I wait and make something else. Then I end up waiting until the last minute. Not sure what is wrong with me.

Well, I finally made a project yesterday that I really like.

My first ever canvas and I am kinda' lovin' it.

These where the colors for the April Color Challenge

Here are the LSG sprays that I used:

Ramblin’ Rose Pink

Edelweiss Moss Green

Blue Hawaiian Blue

Wake Me Up Before You Go Gold

You can check it all out on the LSG blog.

Lindy's Stamp Gang Blog

Here is a close up where you can see the colors.

Since I did not really know what I was doing...I was not afraid to try play and new things.
I sprayed the canvas. Then added more, then ended up washing color out from adding more on top. LOL In the end, I liked the colors and patterns. 
You can see that I applied Golden Light Modeling Paste through a Prima Damask stencil over the sprayed canvas and it soaked up the colors that were underneath it. Then I added a little more with a paintbrush just to get it where I wanted.

 Here you can see where I added the same paste through a TCW Wildflowers stencil and then painted over it with a brush.

Check out these flowers...

 I used vellum. I die cut the flower shapes with a TH  and sprayed them with

 Ramblin’ Rose Pink & Wake Me Up Before You Go Gold.

I added little squirts of  Alpine Ice Rose on the pink flowers and Marigold Yellow Orange to the yellow flowers just to get a little color variation.

I made the centers darker by dabbing on more Ramblin’ Rose Pink then added glass beads and micro beads.

 For the leaves, I tore strips of vellum and sprayed them with Edelweiss Moss Green.

If you look closely, you can see where I sprayed white cloth wrapped wire with the green and made little tendrils.

So what am I taking from this?

 I am going to TRY really hard to stop over thinking things. What I picture in my head rarely ever comes out the same in real life. I am going to try to just play more and have fun with it. :)

Process videos will have to come later next week.
