Doll Canvas 8x8

Hi again...here the second class taught by Julie Nutting that I took on Saturday at the Scrapbook Island store.

This project uses mixed media techniques, another Julie Nutting Doll Stamp and the Prima Divine Paper Collection.  The canvas is painted using the Studio paint Classic Teal mixed with an off white acrylic paint from Michaels (don't know what brand it was).  We glued wings and some words of wisdom on the right side of the canvas and a piece of ruler paper on the left.  When that was dry we used a Crafters Workshop Stencil  "Reversed Chicken Wire" and sprayed in a few places using a pink colored Tattered Angels spray (didn't get the name of this either).  Then on top of the spray we used Heavy Gel Paste mixed with the same off white acrylic paint as above and, using the Crafters Workshop Stencil "Flower Frenzy", spread it over the stencil to create a really great textured effect.  It took quite awhile to dry but while that was drying we stamped and clothed our Doll...so pretty!  She was added to the canvas along with some ribbon and flowers for our finished project...and I even had thirty minutes of class time to spare!  WOW!!!  It was really a fun day and so wonderful to meet and learn from Julie.  She really is amazing!

Here's my finished canvas...Enjoy!

Doll Tag Class with Julie Nutting

Yesterday I participated in a class taught by Julie Nutting at my favorite scrap booking store "Scrapbook Island".  Julie is the creator of the wonderful doll stamps produced by Prima.  She grew up in Cupertino but now lives in the LA area not far from Prima headquarters.  It was so great to have her here teaching for all of us.  In the first class of the day (she taught two separate classes Saturday) we made two very cute tags using her Doll Stamps, her Tags and Prima papers from the Divine Collection.  It was a really fun project and we finished most everything in the two hours of the class.

However...when I got home I wanted to add some things that we did not do in the class and I really LOVE how they turned out.  I added lots of Stickles Star Dust for that glittery look around the wings, shirt ruffles, flower petals, swirl dots in the background and small dots on the doily.   I also used some Glossy Accents so that the shoes and headbands shined.  I can't wait to make more they are so fun to do, it's like paper dolls when I was younger...lol.

Here they are my Beautiful Tags!!!

Doll Tag #1

Hello Friends...

I have a confession to make...I am in LOVE with Mixed Media Projects and all things Prima!  I've started watching You Tube videos from the Prima Live programs and wow...they make the most amazing things.  A lot of the projects are what is called Mixed Media and I LOVE THEM!!!  In the month of July I have signed up for a couple of classes at my favorite scrap-booking store "Scrapbook Island" that will be taught by Anna Dabrowska who is part of the Prima Design Team.  I can't wait, I'm so excited!!!

Anyway one of the videos I watched this week is "Mixed Media Doll Stamps with Julie Nutting" on Live with Prima.  Her tags are so cute!  I watched her video and made a tag myself following her instructions.   I didn't have everything she used but I had lots of other things that worked out great.  This tag is just one of six Doll Stamps that Julie designed for Prima Marketing.  I have all of the others and will be making more tags using them in the future.  I think these tags will be so cute attached to wrapped gifts instead of a card...the back side of the tag is blank so that is a perfect place to write a message and then sign my name.

My friends and family are going to love, love, love these!!!

By the way...Prima makes lots and lots of different things...papers, flowers, stamps, inks and embellishments galore.  I really love them all!
