Hey there Quick Quotes fans!!
Tanisha here with another project featuring one of the new lines, Just Because and QQ's 12x12 canvas.
Canvas is one of my favorite mediums, so needless to say, I had a ball with this!! Creating the frame around the edge was really easy, but takes a little patience.
I then used an inking sponge and Quick Quote's PowderPuff Chalking Inks in Baja Blue, Mocha Mama, and Green With Envy to add color to the edges. I re-adhered the scrap paper to the center and continued to add ink until I was satisfied with the look. (the frame took on the shape of the scrap paper)
I added the hot air balloon from the 8x10 Chipboard Balloon set.
I added texture to the hand cut items using buttons and twine.
Pin It Now!
Tanisha here with another project featuring one of the new lines, Just Because and QQ's 12x12 canvas.
Canvas is one of my favorite mediums, so needless to say, I had a ball with this!! Creating the frame around the edge was really easy, but takes a little patience.
I started by randomly tearing all 4 edges off of a scrap piece of 12x12 paper. (final size was about 10.5 square give or take) I used repositionable adhesive to adhere the scrap paper to the center of the canvas. Next, I used 2 different stamps and embossing ink to stamp on the exposed canvas, 1 side at a time. Once I finished one side, I poured embossing powder in Opaque Bright White on the image and then tapped off the excess. Once all 4 sides were coated, I removed the scrap paper and used a heat gun to melt the powder.
I then used an inking sponge and Quick Quote's PowderPuff Chalking Inks in Baja Blue, Mocha Mama, and Green With Envy to add color to the edges. I re-adhered the scrap paper to the center and continued to add ink until I was satisfied with the look. (the frame took on the shape of the scrap paper)
I used a damp paper towel to remove the excess ink from the embossing. The embossing acts as a resist and you will see all of the different inks in the recesses. This is one of my favorite techniques.
I lightly spritzed the center with misting inks in 2 different colors before adding photos and embellishments to the canvas. I matted the photo using JB-400 and then framed it with images cut from JB-100 and JB-400. I cut strips from the new vellum strips to serve as part of my title and journaling.
I added texture to the hand cut items using buttons and twine.
