Mixed Media Canvas's using Ching Chou Kuiks "Calling for Snow" and "Unicorn Love"

Hey You guys!!! My oldest is turning 6 in just 3 sleeps!!! How in the ....... did that happen??? She is all about the unicorns right now and has been since Christmas. We are having a unicorn theme birthday or as much as I can... really its My Little Pony highlighting the unicorn ponies... its the best I could do without making everything again this year. LOL
So with this new Unicorn love she wants to redecorate her room in.... yup... Unicorns. I haven't shown you yet so maybe I will pop it in down here at the bottom what I made her for Christmas that started the Unicorn redecorating. LOL but now after she opens these and has her party we are half way to the complete make over completed.
So now these canvas!!! OMG so much fun!! I used all different Tim Holtz distress mediums and techniques to create the backgrounds with various stencils. I did some embossing right on the canvas'. One one it worked great... on the other not so much. LOL but now that its all finished you can't even tell!!
So the "Twinkle Twinkle" night theme canvas uses Ching Chou Kuiks "Calling for Snow".
See how much fun is that!! I love how all those dark colors blended to create this really cool night sky/ galaxy type background. So color the image I used Kit and Clowders November 2016 Monthly Class techniques.

For the "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" day theme canvas I used Ching Chou Kuik's "Unicorn Love".
I love how bright and cheerful and dreamy this one came out!! All the colors just pop and blend to create this beautiful look into another world! So color the image I used Kit and Clowders 2015 Monthly class techniques- I took a few different classes and blended them all together.


I am entering these projects in the Ching Chou Kuik Challenge Blog for February "Love is All Around." I really think these qualify since they were made with soooo much love!! They will just envelope her room in it!! Also the love being shown in each image between girl and unicorn....


See you all again real soon to share the rest of my unicorn filled week!! Have a good one!!

Waterfall Valentines Day card using Flowers, Feathers and Fairies "Elf Huntress"

Hello everyone!! I have another new, super fun Flowers, Feathers and Fairies image to introduce to you all!! Meet Elf Huntress!! Isn't she amazing!! Sabrina has been working on her for a very long time and I am so excited that she is finally ready for us all to play with!!!
I am so in love with the detail on this Elf Huntress!! The shape of her bow and the flowers growing out of it just thrill me!! And she's so serious; she means business!! LOL

I used Elf Huntress to make my hubbies Valentines Day card. I'm sure he will be surprised its not his usual "riske" image LOL but I really think he's gonna like it!! 
I used the CTMH "This Moment" stamp set for all the panels in the waterfall.

My cardstocks are also all CTMH but the pattern paper I made myself with a We R Memory Keeprs embossing folder and some homemade Emobssing powders.

To create the waterfall card I used THIS tutorial and modified it just a little to be the right size and shape for my project.


Please pop by the Flowers, Feathers, Fairies Facebook Group and see what the other Design Team members came up with for this weekends New Release!! We are all so excited!!
And then pop into the Etsy Store to grab the new Elf Huntress digital stamp from Flowers, Feathers and Fairies!!!



I am entering this card in the World Wide Open Design Team Challenge.
