"Just For You"

Good Morning Everyone! Today is Tuesday and that means a NEW challenge over at Beyond The Burtonesque Dolls and since it is the second challenge of the month... we need to alter something! Yay... As I have told all of you before, I am new to the "Altering World", so I am very excited about this challenge! Hmmm... Guess I should tell you what we are altering, huh? The theme of the challenge is "Pandora's Box"! Yep... you guessed it, we need to alter a box or create a box from scratch! Well I actually altered a cool box that Michael brought home for me! We have a graduation party to go to this summer and I know you are wondering "What in the world was she thinking... altering the box to look like this?" Well the graduate is totally into the Dark Gothic Style, so I thought this would be perfect for her! Her favorite colors are green and orange, so that is the reasoning behind the color combo! Sssshhhh... but we are planning to fill it full of scrapbooking goodies for her, as she LOVES to scrapbook! I think it should make an awesome gift all the way around! You MUST hop on over to the BTBD Challenge Blog and check out all of the other DT creations! You will have until April 29, 2012 to get your creation linked up! Okay, I will stop jabbering and let you take a peek at all of the sides!

"Brewing Up Some Fun"

 Good Morning Everyone! Are you ready for the weekend? I really am, as I will be working on some upcoming projects! Today is Day 2 of the Simply B Stamps NEW  Release "Beyond Wickidz"! These images are perfect for the Beyond The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge Blog! I am sharing my first ever mixed media canvas tile. Today is filled with lots of firsts for me; first Release by Simply B Stamps, first set of DT projects, and first mixed media canvas tile! I have turned it into a refrigerator magnet! I am really beginning to push the limits of my comfort zone, it is an amazing feeling! The image that I am sharing with you today is "Winnie"! Doesn't she look wicked as she creates her potions? I sure think so! All six images and sentiment set will be available in the Simply B Stamps Online Store today! These will only be available in DIGI form; so many of you will LOVE that! Be sure to hop on over to the Beyond The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge Blog to see what all of the Design Teams Creations!

This is the canvas tile that I started out with! (4X4)

I added two layers of acrylic black paint.

Then I used acrylic silver paint to stamp the spider webs (Stamp by Studio G) and the sentiments (Stamp by A Muse Artstamps)! (The sentiments are a bit hard to read in my photo, but it says "Brewing Up Some Fun"!)

After that dried completely I added a layer of Modge Podge Gloss Finish, then quickly added my image... making sure that it was completely flat and set into the Modge Podge Gloss Finish and added one more thick layer of Modge Podge Gloss Finish. Let that dry completely adding one more layer on top to be sure that my image was completely secured. After that layer dried... I sprayed it with Krylon UV-Resistant Clear Acrylic Coating to make the tacky feel disappear.

Once it was completely dry and it set for a full day, I went to work on the back of tile. Using Scor Pal Tape 1/4" I adhered my Basic Black Card Stock from Stampin' Up to it. Then I got some magnet stripes from my stash and added them to the back. 

Now this wicked cutie is hanging on my refrigerator! I think for a first time project it turned out pretty cool; but let me know what you think?

I will be entering this canvas tile magnet into the following different challenges...

• That Craft Place Challenge ~ Anything Goes
• The Cheerful Stamp Pad #39 ~ Anything Goes
• Creative Craft Challenges ~ Anything But A Card
