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.

Clay Roses Tutorial

I have been having so much fun playing with all my crafty goodies from Scrapadabadoo. I have been wanting to make a video tutorial on making clay roses for a while. With my physical problems I have to work a little then rest. I have slowly gotten all this together piece by piece.I think you will really like it.

Here is a short video showing how I put this magnet together.
(I figured out how to add music to my videos. YAY ME! LOL)

Double Pocket Card

Hello crafty friends. I have a cool little card to share today. It is a double criss cross
pocket card.

It is for a challenge over on the Scrapadabadoo Face Book page.

You can get the instructions for the card there on the page.

Once I made the basic card, I made a few cut files for the decorative panels, tags, and flowers. You can download the cut files and pdf templates for them below.

Tags, panels, and flowers for the Criss Cross Double Pocket Card.

I have instructions on how to make the flowers on the Scrapadabadoo blog.

I cut everything form white cardstock and colored all but the top layer of the tags with 
Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays.

Ramblin’ Rose Pink

Blue Hawaiian Blue

Edelweiss Moss Green (Scrapadabadoo does not have this green, but Greased Lightning Green or any of their other greens would work well also.)

The top (blue) panels are embossed with an Anna Griffin Poppy embossing folder.

I realized that my tags would fit perfectly in the TH Scrollworks embossing strip.

Then I inked the edges with TH Salty Ocean Distress Ink. I topped the tags off with seam binding that I colored with LSG Ramblin Rose Pink.

I am loving this color combo.

I think I will just keep using it. LOL
