Here's the project that I created for you today.

Please note, in the spirit of full disclosure, I have received some of the products used to create this canvas. I use what I love and recommend only what I believe in. 

Donna is the queen of girlie grunge, however, I went totally masculine guy grunge on this canvas. I simply adore Donna's Spellbinders® gear dies. I used her new Gears Steel Rule Die to cut the larger gears on the left side of the canvas with heavy chipboard, then cut several Sprightly Sprockets gears from thin chipboard to tuck around the photo on the right.

Even up close in person they look like metal and are so easy to create. Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment Powders give a perfect metallic sheen for this grungy technique. I've created a VIDEO TUTORIAL to show you how to make them.

Enjoy!

Close-ups

Here's a close-up of the Faux Metal Gears.

The background paper was adhered to the canvas with Donna's Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Girlie Grunge Art Medium. I also brushed a coat onto the front side of the paper and while wet dabbed lightly with a paper towel to create texture. When dry, I rubbed the textured surface with Gold and Silver Pigment powders.

The linked rings under the gears are cut with Donna's new Spellbinders® Cascading Circles Die from thin chipboard and painted with Silver Pigment Powder mixed into Girlie Grunge Art Medium.

The torn paper framing the photo is embossed with Donna's new Spellbinders® Splattered Circles Embossing Folder and of course rubbed with her Gold and Silver Pigment Powders. The torn edges are inked with Donna's Clearsnap Stormy Mix'd Media Inx as well as the torn edges of the background paper.

I have a funny story to share about the rusted metal washer tucked in amongst the gears. I was invited to a birthday celebration for one of my scrapbooking friends. On our way into the restaurant, a glint of rust caught my eye, and I picked up this gem commenting, "I can use this on one of my projects." The girls all laughed knowing it wouldn't be long before I used it.

Here you can see the Sprightly Sprockets I cut from thinner chipboard. I Treated them similarly to the gears in the video, but just used one coat of paint and did not heat it to bubble.

Before applying the background paper, I painted the edges with sandstone color paint, applied a stenciled design with molding paste colored with Donna's Gold Pigment powder, then rubbed gold and silver pigment powders across the entire edge.

Visit all the blogs on the hop today for more inspiration and more chances to win.

"Wander the Sea" Mixed Media Layout with VIDEO TUTORIAL - Scraps of Elegance October Kit

Hello friends!! I'm back with a video tutorial for you created with the gorgeous Scraps of Elegance October Kit. I can't wait to get my kit each month. Melinda coordinates such beautiful items for us to create with each month. 

Gary and I went on a trip to Jacksonville Florida last winter, and this ring-billed gull caught my fancy. When I saw this beach themed page in the collection, I knew it was time to scrapbook this little guy. If you are a regular follower of my blog, you know that I don't normally use this color palette , but I just adore how this page came together. With all the Prima goodies in this kit, I used the October Prima Build-a-Page sketch for inspiration.

I share my techniques with you in this step by step process video.  Enjoy!

Coloring Chipboard & Canvas with Donna Salazar Designs Products

I just adore altering and coloring things, so it's such a delight to work with Donna Salazar's fabulous Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Pigment Powders along with Clearsnap Mix'd Media Inx and Smooch Spritz. Fall leaves have such a beautiful blend of colors. I hope I came close on this delightful chipboard leaf corner. I also embossed and colored the canvas mat for the sweet Thanksgiving sentiment. You can view all the details over on Donna's blog HERE.

Gary's cousins host a large family gathering at their home each Thanksgiving, and I've created this Thanksgiving themed thank you card as a token of our gratitude for their gracious hospitality.

Mixed Media Tag & Card Set with VIDEO TUTORIAL ~ Scraps of Elegance September Kit

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a gift card and tag set I created with the fabulous September Scraps of Elegance kit. One of my sweet scrapbooking friends is expecting her first baby. Tiff is an elementary school art teacher and a mentor when it comes to combining colors so I wanted to create something extra special for her. Her baby decor colors are green, pink, and watermelon, so the tag is also designed to be a wallhanging for Aly's room. 

I've created a process video sharing the steps and techniques

used to create my shabby chic, mixed media wallhanging tag.

I'm featuring a background technique using the

Rebecca Baer Moroccan Tile & Vine Stencil.

(Similar techniques are used to create the card.)

Enjoy!

Here you can see the texture details. I'm really enjoying the US ArtquestPrills that have been coming in the kits. (Also available in the SOD Store) These tiny pearl-like beads as you can see, are all different sizes, giving additional visual dimension and texture. Dry brushing and pooling with mist as shown in the video adds depth to the texture they create.

Here you can see the layered design created with the Rebecca Baer Stencil.

Here's a shot of the card. As you can see, the techniques used here are similar to those employed for the tag.

One final shot.
