Prima Archivist Mixed Media Canvas


Prima's New 2015 Releases - Archivist
Prima's New Archivist Collection 
( see the Prima post here)

This is the Archivist collection created by Frank Garcia.  It's richly colored  with romantic Parisian and floral graphics.  

I created a canvas mixing the Archivist collection with some mixed media gels, glass beads, mica flakes and  a metal from Finnabair's new releases.  



The Archivist Collection is rich and warm, charming and earthy.  I took my inspiration from the colors I love so very much.

Thanks so very much for stopping.

Flying Unicorn Butterfly Card Using the January Kit



Flying Unicorns Kit of the Month

Another wonderful kit was revealed in January.  It had Riddersholm papers in it and was filled with wonderful amazing Prima flowers.  

I thought I would make a warm card and cut the butterflies from the Riddersholm papers. The colors in the papers are so beautiful together.    


Now I realize the kit is sold out.  It sells out super fast.  Your best bet to make sure you grab the kit when it becomes available for pre-sale, the 20th of every month.  In this case, the Flying Unicorn store has some Riddersholm papers you can snag and play along.  
You can find them here


Thanks a ,million

New Prima Julie Nutting Doll Stamp - Tommy






Prima and Julie Nutting's New Doll Tommy
(You can see the original post here)

Prima and Julie Nutting's newest boy stamp, "Tommy" reminded me of an old fashioned paper boy. That's the theme I played upon.  The watercolor pencils help make the dolls stamps quick and fun to create. 

This is the sweetest Doll stamp and I had a ton of fun using it.   I combined the Tommy Doll Stamp with the Julie Nutting "Fun Times" stamp set.    Tommy is a newsboy from 1910's era.  I rolled up some papers for his supply, then made some of the paper airplanes take flight with Prima Wire Thread.

Prima Julie Nutting Ruby Doll Stamp


New Julie Nutting Dolls
Prima and Julie Nutting have really outdone themselves.    Julie has designed a collection of Doll Stamps through the decades.  

This is Ruby.  She's a 1920's flapper style doll.  I love her.  My doll is going out to the dance hall with her glitter pumps and headband.  

  See the original post at Prima here

I also used a new embellishment  to adorn the top.   Prima Memory Hardware - Antique Chains are draping over the top like a fancy chandelier.  


I tucked a clock into the tag for a little reminder that time passes way too fast.  





Prima and Julie Nutting have tapped into the vintage segment with Ruby and the other new release stamps.  I loved working with Ruby and giving her some dimension.

Most of all THANKS for your support.
