As you can guess, I created this using the Kit of the Month for July. The papers I feature are from Authentique's Pretty paper collection.  This collection is quite fascinating because it spans between delicate to robust within the collection - quite a versatile collection.

I used the kit to make four cards and a TAG and a ton left to spare.  This is a doll tag I made using the Authentique Pretty collection. The kit this month contains 6x6 paper pads from Authentique and 13Arts.  They coordinate wonderfully.  



This is  Priscilla, she is sassy and adorable. I thought the small patterns in the Authentique Pretty 6x6 pad would make a wonderful dress for a party gal like Priscilla. 

I also created her for a monthly challenge held the the Flying Unicorns. It's a doll challenge  - featuring any kind of doll or stamped character image - you can find the challenge here.  The project can be any sort of doll type item - Stamp them, paint them, ink them, color them, cut them , journal them, tag them, card them, draw them, dress them....then ENTER them here. The challenge runs through July so come join us. 



To create Priscilla's dress, I stamped a few times and layered them. I tucked some lace in as a layer to create added fullness. 


The journal card on this tag reads " She believed she could so she did".  I think that is appropriate for Priscilla. 

Come Join the Doll Challenge here

July Flying Unicorns OTP - Off the Page Project - Boat




Though we do not want the next months to Fly Away - we are thrilled to present and include the new 13@arts collections Fly Away as part of our July Your Passion, Your Art Kit of the Month.


Our kits are amazingly unique and every month we include an Off the Page Project . This month you will receive a wooden canoe

My projects features the Maja Design Vintage Summer Basics Collection.  


Starting the project
I adore this project.  If it's seaworthy, then I love it. It is also wonderful timing as I head to my summer vacation by the ocean.  ahhhhhhh. Marvelous. 

There are several options to preparing the base of the boat itself.  You can stain it, paint it with a brush or sponge, spray paint it, leave plain.  I opted  for quick simplicity. I mixed white gesso in a bowl with some water and created a "wash" to paint on with a sponge.  The sponge and wash give it an uneven finish, with a bit of the wood showing here and there. I rubbed some Tim Holtz distress ink in Weathered Wood on the sides.  

 I used Maja Design - Vintage Summer Basics - 1905 BAS528 inside the boat for the wood bottom.  When I first saw the project, that sheet of paper came right to my mind.  Now to dig it out of my stash...that was the hardest part of this whole creation. No joke! Where is that piece of paper... I know it's around somewhere, but where?   Dig, dig, search, riffle through paper.  FOUND IT!  Perfect. 




That little white trim with the holes in it that look like coral is Web Weave trim.  I love the stuff.   The shells are from my trip to Florida and courtesy a shelling excursions off the coast of the Florida Everglades.
