Coloring Canvas Flowers and Making a Flower Vine with Anna Zaprzelska

Happy Friday! To kick off the weekend, Design Team member Anna Zaprzelska is sharing some wonderful techniques that she used with the September Limited Edition kit.

Here's Anna...

Hello, MCS Friends, Anna here!
I will show you a few tips that I applied in my pages :-)

 

On this layout I made a vine, using paper roses. I hope that you like it!



Just take the roses and twist them together :-)





I distressed my canvas flowers....





and painted them using pearl dabber paint.

 

On this layout, I colored my canvas flowers using mists...







Would you try to make this flower?



Before you paste a wooden button, just apply glue...

 

and wrinkle the lace all the way around.



Thanks for looking, have a nice day!

Detailing Techniques with Carla Marchee

Design Team member Carla Marchee is back today to share some of her detailing techniques used with the September Limited Edition kit.

Here's Carla...

Hey I have three fun details to share that I have done with this page:




For the first one I did splatters with Glimmer glam, by dipping a paintbrush in the glimmer glam and creating splatters by tapping on the brush.

And the next details I have done...

 
I sprayed glimmer mist on the design paper, and the rest what comes next to the paper, 
what I had done glimmer mist in there and wet again so you get spots on the design paper.

And the last detail...

 
What I did for a 3D effect, with two of the same design papers, cut out the flowers at the right corner and layered with foam squares, and I also did this with the air balloon and the post stamps.

With this page I have cut the canvas flowers that are included in the beautiful LE kit:



STEP 1 
I sprayed the flowers with glimmer mist in two colors


STEP 2 
I did folded each flower and then dried them with a heatgun and place it together


And this is the flower that I have made 



I hope you give this Fun technique a try
thank you

Main Kit Techniques with Carla Marchee

Design Team Carla Marchee is here today to share some of her wonderful techniques using the September Main kit.  Visit us again tomorrow to view her tips using the September Limited Edition kit!

What I have done with this page to make it cool:


 
here is the close up

For the circle under the layers I had used a cardboard from a box. I used a plate to trace around with a pencil, then cut around it and painted it with gesso. 

And for the cute butterfly I used a punch. In the middle of the butterfly I applied glue and then sprinkled beads on it. Then shook the rest of the excess beads and sprinkled them on again until they were stuck to the glue.

What I have done with this page:


What is done with the wire rope is very simple, but super nice result, I would like to tell this.
 
You use a stylus or pen or whatever you want to use. I had used a copic marker, and turned the wire rope around it several times so that you get a spiral. The ends of the rope you are doing through the eye of a rope and then making a knot in the rope, see pictures:

What I have also done with this page is this:
The tags that are in the main kit... I would like it to stick out above the photo, but the tag is very long so I have cut it, very easy and fun.

Step 1

 
Step 2
  

What I did with the first layer on this layout:


 
This design paper I wanted to create the first layer also as an oval curves. How I did it was quite simple. I traced around a round object a quarter of the way then I moved the round object over a little bit and traced a quarter way around the other side. This created an oval shape that I cut out for my layer.  See picture.
