Honoring Family

Hi everyone and happy Sunday! I wanted to share with you a burlap collage panel I made yesterday. Since we have Mother's & Father's Day coming up in a few months, I thought I would capture both and honor family. It also gave me a chance to play along in the challenge over at A Vintage Journey.

They are celebrating their one year anniversary this month and in honor of that have chosen a theme of anything Tim. I have used several elements from the Tim Holtz collection, so let me show you what I did.

I started out by covering my burlap panel with tissue paper. I used Mod Podge to adhere it to the panel and then added some distress stain to give it some color. It typically takes me several tries to get the exact layout that I want so there were several rearranging of items.

I had this family film strip already that I created using Pic Monkey and chose to use the Patriarch as my main focal point. One of the cards from found relatives worked well for this. I created the Family antique flash card using a free image over at Vintage Farmhouse Living. She has some fantastic free printables. So if you have some time, it is worth the click.

I cut out the weathered clock image and distressed it using walnut stain and rusty hinge paint. I used this clock to frame my focal point.

I didn't want the clock arms to go to waist, so I added them to the heart die cut that I had covered using distress stickles.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Eclectic Ellapu - Hearts & Roses

Happy February! I just reviewing my blog to make sure everything posted ok and I realized this had not posted. It is completely user error, so I can't blame it on blogger this time around.

We are staring our first challenge of 2015 over at Eclectic Ellapu. The purple team is hosting a "Hearts and Roses" challenge, so we sure hope you can play along.

Theme: Hearts & Roses

Project: Valentine Collage

As you can see, this is a very busy collage. I used a burlap panel and several elements from the Tim Holtz collection. I went with a Parisian Love theme, placing my eiffel tower right in the center.

Here is a close look at some of the idea-logy embellishments that I used.

I also added two prima roses and some lace.

The word band I used says "Know in your heart you are loved."

Create - Burlap Wall Hanging

I wanted to share with you my very first project using a Burlap Panel. Recently I have been expanding my creative horizons and trying different mediums. I had a lot of fun putting this together. I created this wall hanging to remind myself that creating and creativity is not impossible. You just need to believe in yourself and find yourself through art.

I wanted to go with the theme of Create and I was able to put a perfect message onto my Art.

Believe in yourself

CREATE

and be the best version of you

The Impossible is often the Untried

The last sentence is a stamp from Tim Holtz. I use it often as it is so True. In art, nothing is impossible. You just have to try.

Here is what I did.

I wrapped the Burlap Panel with Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap and used Glue N Seal to hold it in place. Then I just started decorating. The stamp set I used is called Visual Artistr Clear Stamp. It has some great sayings. The key is also from Tim Holtz called Word Keys. I have used these on several of my projects. Love them!

The word CREATE was put together using Alpha Parts - Ransom. I distressed it using Distress Paint called Forrest Moss. The fun sentiment was put together using Chit Chat Words stickers. I also used cheese cloth for the first time to give it some texture.

This fantastic clock was another sticker from Tim Holtz called Salvage Stickers - Lost & Found. I found the clock arms in a discount bin at Michaels.

I added some stamped images, gems,baubles,trinket pin along with some other embellishments to finish it off. It was a lot of fun to make.

I recently created a Valentine's Day one, but you will have to wait until next month to see that one. LOL!

Well, I sure hope that you like it and certainly appreciate you stopping by. I have listed all the supplies below. If you have never made a burlap panel wall hanging, you should give it a try, at least once. They are a lot of fun to put together.
