"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!

"I Give You My Heart On A String"

Welcome To The Second Forever Night Wicked Blog Hop! I hope you have been enjoying all of the wonderful creations so far! Just a little reminder... be sure to leave a comment on all of the blog as we have some awesome prizes that will be given away and they will be picked randomly from the different blogs! I am sure you don't want to miss out on a chance to win! You should have just hopped over from the ever talented Jane's Blog! If you just happened to find yourself here at my blog, be sure to start from the beginning at our fearless leader Jamie's Blog! 

Below you will see my project! I will also be showing you step by step how it was created! The is my second ever canvas tile project! I think it turned out really good; what do you think?

I started out with this white 5 X 7 Canvas Tile.

I added two layers of Black Acrylic Paint and let it dry.

Then I used the Smeared Ink Rubber Set ~ Inky Dreams and stamped some of the awesome splotches all over the canvas with Red Acrylic Paint. Let it dry.

Now came the fun part... I added one layer of Modge Podge Gloss Finish and laid down my colored digi image by Smeared Ink ~ Hanging Heart while it was still wet. (I colored it with Prismacolor Colored Pencil Numbers... 997, 1085, 932, 1008, 935, 949, 923, 924, & 925. Then I added some Inspirations Paint in Fairy Dust and Coal to the finger nails, blood drips, and the string. After that dried I added Aleene's Paper Glaze to it. Once it was completely dry I fussy cut it out with my exacto knife.) Once I had it all laid down flat, I quickly added another thick layer of Modge Podge Gloss Finish to it. I let that dry over night. Then I added some Creative Memories Letter Stickers to spell out "I Give You My Heart On A String". Now I added the final layer of Modge Podge Gloss Finish. After it dried for two days, it felt a bit tacky yet. So I sprayed it with Krylon UV-Resistant Clear Acrylic Coating to completely seal it... no more tackiness!

Now came getting the hanger on it. I used Jewelry Wire, Split Rings, & Wire Crimps out of my stash. I put the wire all together and added it to the back of my canvas tile using Glossy Accents to hold it in place. Then I added the card stock back with Red Wonder Tape to be sure that everything was put together well. It is still hanging and looking great for 2 weeks now!

Below is a close up of the canvas tile.

Below is a picture of the back of the canvas tile.

And one more look at it from an angle.

I am very happy with how this turned out! It was a long process; but I will be making more of these in the future! 

Since you made it through my step by step instructions, I will send you on your way to the talented Bridget's Blog! I am including the whole hopping list below in case you get lost!
