Dance in the Rain - The Robin's Nest

I'm up today with a project to share for The Robin's Nest.  I used a product exclusive to The Robin's Nest called CanvasStock.  It is a unique surface because it is combination of cardstock that has been coated with a plastic film.  CanvasStock has the qualities of fabric as there is a subtle linen texture. Also, it remains flexible as paint does not cause it to warp. Therefore, CanvasStock is great for all Mixed Media projects.  Use paints, mists, rubber stamps, Dew Drops, ribbons, and more to create wonderful mixed media projects. CanvasStock is available in seven different patterns.
                                                 CanvasStock can be found HERE

Just a sneak peek...

Sympathy Cards - Joggles Design Team

This week I was allowed to pick out the products that I wanted to use to create a project. I selected a beautiful stencil with leaf flourishes exclusive to Joggles and some lovely floral cling stamps by Joggles designer Margaret Applin called Garden Party. I thought I would use a different medium this week so instead of inks, paints, or mists, I chose Perfect Pearls Pigment Powders. If you have not seen Perfect Pearls before, they have a glorious "mother of pearl" luminous sheen which is almost impossible to capture on film.




Sorry...sneak peek only!
but head over to the Joggle's Blog for a complete step by step tutorial, as well as, a second card design with the same products.

Please stop by tomorrow when I will share a similar card using the same artistic stamps with Perfect Pearls Powders but stamped onto black cardstock.
