Just About The Details

Family Life – Canvas/Mixed Media Project

September24

I created this mixed media project to hang in my family/playroom. Created on a 15 x 20 canvas panel, all of the paper used on this was from one or another Scraps of Darkness kit. To see this amazing monthly scrapbook kit club, be sure to visit www.scrapsofdarkness.com – it is unique, it is different, it is AMAZING. Be sure and join the forum….talk about an inspirational, family-like atmosphere! and all new-comers are welcomed with open arms!!!

I used a ton of stamps and rub-ons from my entire stash to use for detailed texture throughout this piece. Here are some up-close photos:

I used ModPodge throughout this piece…but on the end of the tree, I left the ends of the branches/twigs in order to be able to add a little more dimension….I am ALL ABOUT dimension!

I used Prima bling for the smoke!

I used Tim Holtz hole reinforcers for the centers of my little flowers above.

TFL my friends! I hope something here has inspired you to CREATE!

Nancy, this is freaking fantastic! I want to make one just like it! You are really onto something here. You could sell the heck out of these! I can’t wait to see it in person. I am going crazy over the way you did the clouds and the swirly smoke from the chimney! This is the coolest thing EVER!!!
