Welcome to February creations using Canvas Corp Brands.

4x4

Canvas Corp Brands has beautiful 4x4 Canvas.My creation this month is based on giving. February is my Birthday month and I love purple.I have been given so many beautiful little gifts from friends in past groups. I am loving placing a few of them on my projects I will be sharing with you.

My 4x4 for February 2016 "Beauty"

The canvas stood blank and I had to smile when I looked at the beautiful bottle of "Tattered Angel Glimmer Mist '#02152 Fully Purple'" smiling back at me.Yes ..inspiration was stirred. I began going through all my ribbons and flowers..their color mattered not..I had Glimmer mist and was going to alter everything and anything to purple.

I used gesso last night and covered the canvas 3 times and let it dry all night it was very wet. This A.M. I began spraying with the beautiful "Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist Fully Purple" and the magic began. I found some lovely purple ribbon one of my beautiful friends had sent me. I cut four pieces and used tacky glue and let them dry.

Paper Roses..they are so beautiful. A friend in my Altered Tattered and Timeworn group on yahoo sent them to me about five years ago and I decided to use them up today.

This is after using the beautiful spray glimmer mist from Canvas Corp Brands.Beautiful yes?

Gypsies. I love Gypsies.This is a peek of the beautiful paper called "Gypsy Moments" from Canvas Corp Brands.For some who swapped with each other in the Designers Crew at Canvas Corp you know I used them for my act's.Well I had to use just one more.

I love it when you are creating and the ideas run faster than you can make it.

This beautiful glitter was given to me by a friend in a yahoo group called "A circle of Friends" I had never opened it..lets try it out .

I had these little bottle with a cork top from Tim Holtz ideology collection. I have had them for years but not used them. I purchased them at Michaels. I filled them up with purple goodness..loads of sparkly glitter and mica chips. I used tacky glue to hold them in place. I also tied a little purple ribbon around each one except the middle and I glued a piece of lace scrap around the middle of the bottle.

I began gluing keys and various metal pieces and mirrors adding glitter and mica chips.

Beauty sentiment came from the other side of the "Gypsy Moment" paper. I glued the bottle on top of the 4x4 canvas from the ideology collection of Tim Holtz and called it good.
Happy February everyone.
