I created “Create” on a 4×4 canvas for Canvas Corp Brands. The request was to create a sort of a business card, to put your mark on a small canvas, to show who you are as a designer to the world. So here is mine:
Actually it was a lot of fun to try to think about all the things that I like. So I was beginning with a simple stamping using Harlequin background stamp, Versamark and embossing powder.
Stamping check. Then came collaging. I used Serengeti paper and a simple paper dolly to add a scrap collage to my page.
Colouring, did you happened to know that Tattered Angels have a great variety of mists, glazes and paints? And of course in all the colours of the rainbow, with glitter and with chalk, you choose! Here I used glimmer mists (electric blue and sapphire).
While my mists dried, I made that tattered flowers that I cut with Sizzix die. The flower is a printed canvas distressed and the leaves are corrugated cartoon painted.
Under the flower I added a simple brown lace and some thread.
I cut the word “create” from Express yourself gypsy moments paper and applied on my upper corner.
I thought I touched most of the areas and materials I love to use. So I would like to introduce myself as a Creative Crew Member at Canvas Corp Brands.

Gorgeous – everything I like here too!! Hope you have recovered from your ‘flu?
We were on the way Lisette, but when fever was gone it went to our belly, today morning it was better, toast stayed, now only smashed potatoes lunch, hopefully tomorrow even better and Monday full power 🙂

This little canvas is indeed absolutely you, if I think about your style, i immediately think about collaging, texture and sewing 🙂
