It's <a href="http://gracescraps.blogspot.com/">Tracey</a> here to share the details of my projects created with the August Kit. This is my farewell post for ScrapThat! I know Kaitlyn's beautiful <a href="http://www.scrapthat.ca/">ScrapThat! Kits</a> will be missed. I've enjoyed the opportunity to work with them each month this past year. It has been amazing working with each of the talented and sweet designers as well. </div>

I just adore this sweet photo of our Elizabeth when she was a little babe with her lovely smile and silly hair sticking up. Yes, this is the same Elizabeth in all the wedding layouts I've been creating. This page was created with the main kit only.</div>

I cut off a strip of the Pink Paislee circle mat, painted it with gesso and crocheted lace onto it. I divided a few of the pink flowers for mini rose buds and placed one of the kit lavender pearl into the center of the larger blossom. </div>

I fussy cut the floral frame from this gorgeous Maja paper and hand stitched a border.</div>

These Maya Road butterflies are so beautiful and take mixed media well. I painted with gesso, then crackle medium. I let the crackle dry overnight, then rubbed ink into the cracks. I stamped flourished onto the corners of the tags in coordinating ink. This flourish was die cut and painted with Ice Stickles. The purple rose was dry brushed with gesso. <br />
<br />

I used the same mixed media techniques on this butterfly, but used yellow and brown inks. This flourish is included in the kit. I just cut off the bird and set aside for another project. I added kit pearls which are painted and inked to distress. On the background I added molding paste over a mesh, then touched with ink to bring out the dimension.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><u>Supply List:</u></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Twine - (I used 20lb white bamboo, but you could use any twine.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Inks - in colors to coordinate with project. One lighter and one darker</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Embossing Powder to coordinate with your inks (Optional)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Heart Die</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Corrugated Board (I used Donna Salazar's corrugated board by Zutter.) </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tweezers (Optional but helpful for holding heart during embossing. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Small Flower - I used one of the white roses from the Main Kit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Paint or gesso - not pictured</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Die cutting machine - not pictured</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Embossing tool - not pictured. (Only needed if you use the embossing powder.)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
**Note** If you do not have a heart die, you could also hand cut a heart from corrugated board.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
**Note** There are many different sizes of corrugation from the tiny ridges in postal boxed to the larger ridges in the corrugated board I used here. Use what you have available and what goes with your project. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 1. Cut heart from corrugated board. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv2H3YQ22hBwKK2GniY75I23e47Z5qlISfb0KA3N4YbPYazvFa1T-pwTQh4UnUJw8LIpP5MVy3agBEqrpYIArrLpaiYk0lEM0ijBH2-KowamLBm1CGCaxgIUix4MbhfCGIODjx7Hk1ENw/s1600/Twine+Wrapped+Corrugated+Heart+Tutorial+%257E+Tracey+Sabella+gracescraps.blogspot.com+Step+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjv2H3YQ22hBwKK2GniY75I23e47Z5qlISfb0KA3N4YbPYazvFa1T-pwTQh4UnUJw8LIpP5MVy3agBEqrpYIArrLpaiYk0lEM0ijBH2-KowamLBm1CGCaxgIUix4MbhfCGIODjx7Hk1ENw/s320/Twine+Wrapped+Corrugated+Heart+Tutorial+%257E+Tracey+Sabella+gracescraps.blogspot.com+Step+1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 2. Paint heart to coordinate with your project. Here I used DecoArt Americana Buttermilk craft paint. I often use white gesso as well. Sometimes I just paint the top of the ridges leaving more of the natural corrugated kraft color showing. Here, I left some small areas of the natural kraft color showing for a more rustic feel. If you want to just paint the tops of the ridges, dry brushing with a foam brush works best. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMMYVwM3EL-FtRAA7IIjQ0IDMNJRQ6Uzd_xHmhnRZcCaG_buK8t-jsyVCYSHVeqD8ZEuF_s82WGraiYu_PsJSrILTGI3qwgHtJciunDC5pTpzAsSKRO_t_-3wgefJ5C0uwwDbB9CpHE4M/s1600/Twine+Wrapped+Corrugated+Heart+Tutorial+%257E+Tracey+Sabella+gracescraps.blogspot.com+Step+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMMYVwM3EL-FtRAA7IIjQ0IDMNJRQ6Uzd_xHmhnRZcCaG_buK8t-jsyVCYSHVeqD8ZEuF_s82WGraiYu_PsJSrILTGI3qwgHtJciunDC5pTpzAsSKRO_t_-3wgefJ5C0uwwDbB9CpHE4M/s400/Twine+Wrapped+Corrugated+Heart+Tutorial+%257E+Tracey+Sabella+gracescraps.blogspot.com+Step+2.jpg" width="308" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 3. Select an ink for your primary color. I used Mix'd Media Inx and embossing powder in Chiffon. Ink the edges of your heart, drawing the ink towards the center, but not completely covering the heart. While your ink is wet, sprinkle with coordinating embossing powder and heat set. The heart is small, so a pair of tweezers comes in handy to hold it while heat embossing. If you desire a more rustic look, you can just ink without embossing like I did for the purple heart on my project. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 4. Select a contrasting ink for your edges. I used Mix'd Media Inx and embossing powder in Honey. Just dab a little ink on the very edges, then sprinkle with embossing powder and heat set. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 5. Wrap twine around your heart and glue ends to the back of the heart. </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Step 6. Rub ink on the twine. I used Mix'd Media Inx Honey. </div>

When I opened my kit and saw the Spanish moss, I was stumped, because I
live in Florida and the stuff grows wild on my trees. I am always
pulling it off in bunches as it chokes the life out of my smaller trees and tossing it in the fire pit.
How could something so pretty be so deadly!! I thought of making little birds nests until the idea came to make a
small wreath to frame a photo. It worked out perfectly. I saved the
clipped wires from the flowers and used them to adhere the moss to a
card board circle I created from the packing box. That box our kits came
in sure came in handy in more ways than 1!!</div>

My first layout is based on my sketch for ScrapThat! August Kit.</div>

I used the Main Kit Only for this layout. Picture is of my hubby and I at the park where we got married 1.5 yrs after our wedding. I handmade the white flower I used here.

For the next layout I created all of the flowers with the single page of yellow card stock in the kit. And I still had some scraps left over to created the journaling words on. These Maja Design papers were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are gorgeous!! They begged to be adorned with flowers!!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Believe it or not, the corrugated paper did come with the kit. I used
the packing box. Just tore a small piece off of the box and peeled
back the paper.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The journaling words were printed up using Photoshop. I
printed out the phrase and cut the individual words apart. I inked the
edges and using a very fine tipped Zig pen, I outlined right inside and
outside of each word for added dimension. It is a phrase from Shakespeare. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I created a file for the butterflies. I just printed them out, cut them
up and rubbed some Rock Candy Stickles on them, curled the wings a bit
and let them dry. They turn out to be little gems...</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">Here is my version
of the sketch. It started out as the original sketch turned on to it's
side, and then something happened and it took a life on of it's own. I
just love how a sketch can start your mojo flowing and then ends up
looking nothing like the sketch sometimes.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I created the pink roses by taking the white silk rose petals in the
kit, curling them slightly by holding them over a tea candle till the
ends curled, then spraying them with a color spray. Then I sewed 5-6
petals together and used the pink roses in the middle to create a
totally different flower. The Smooch was then randomly painted all over
the flowers. </div>

Hello, everyone! <a href="http://softsideofsandi.blogspot.com/">Sandi</a> here today with something just a little bit different for you. I have long been wanting to try using Amarylis' awesome monthly sketch in a just a little bit different format. This month I challenged myself to use her sketch 3 times .. but change the orientation of each of them! How fun is that?! </div>

So, starting off, here is the original sketch ... and below, you will find the layout that I created using it in the original format. </div>

<a href="http://softsideofsandi.blogspot.com/">Sandi</a> here today to share my August Scrap That! Kit creations! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Granddaughters sure make my scrapping life easy! (Photograph by friend Kristen Alexander.) I did a bit of background work on this page although not nearly so much as my "She" page below. My Prima Gate mask is about to bite the dust and I'd sure buy a new one if I could find one! But I did use it in a couple of places along with some molding paste; then spritzed wirh Lindy's Stamp Gang in Afternoon Delight Denim. I pulled out a few favorite punches .. Martha Stewart Floral Vine, deep-edged Scroll Hearts, and Swirling Lace. You can see that I've used my Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish Die for my leafy vines. I randomly tucked my white lace from the kit here and there and added green microbeads in about 3 places ... to just add a little something different. Butterflies are by friend and Guest Designer this month, <span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; line-height: 25px;"><a href="http://what-a-beautiful-mess.blogspot.com/">Lisa Gregory</a>. Aren't they </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 25px;">scrumptious? And I so loved the big pearl bling in the EAO kit this time! I added some alphas from last month's kit and used Natasha's technique to distress them. </span></span></div>

This is probably my favorite project this time around! The photo is of my sweet granddaughter MacKayla. As you can see, I went a little crazy with my background using stencils, masks, mists and molding paste. It was a bit of mixed media delight! To punch things up a bit more, I've added some corrugated cardboard from the shipping kit to create a fun edge. I fussy cut the floral corner of one page and popped that up on more corrugated cardboard, embossed some of the grey card stock and added my florals. I also dug out my Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish die for my leafy vines. The Dusty Attic birdcage #5 is from my stash but just seemed to fit perfectly on my page. Lastly, I tucked in the sweet owl, Etsy butterfly and loads of the Want2Scrap lavender pearls. You can see that I've added some of the spanish moss from the kit in amongst the florals. I used a heavy hand of white Gesso to make everything blend. The alphas are from a previous Scrap That! kit. </div>

More granddaughters! LOL This photo was taken at DGD Malerie's wedding a couple of weeks ago. I think I am the only one to capture this shot, as the photographer had started loading up his equipment to change locations. Even with lots of photo-editing, it is still not the outcome I'd like but I'm thrilled to have it! I used my TCW ledger stencil on this page although it is hard to see and of course more LSG mists which were sprayed and allowed to drip. I hadn't used my MS Garden Gate punch in a while, so I thought it would be a fun element to use here along with my MS Double Arches. My Dusty Attic mini fences (from my stash) were a perfect backdrop for my florals. They were painted and then I used some Patina Rub 'n Buff. I also tucked in lots of Dusty Attic vines from my stash to really make the florals pop. You can also see the Fabscraps chipboard swirl at the bottom right. I simply snipped off the bird, coated it with white Gesso, then used some Olive Vine Silks acrylic paint and Glimmer Glam in Dirty Martini. Same thing with the DA vines. You'll see more of Lisa Gregory's butterflies here as well. I altered several of my flowers with LSG mists to achieve the colors I was going for and then dabbed them with Pixie Dust Glimmer Glam. More scattered pearls ... and isn't it just fun, fun, fun? Kind of goes with the whole crazy, jubilant mood of the girls! Except for our little flower girl. </div>

<li>purple pearls from ScrapThat! Kit</li>
<li>glue dots or hot glue gun</li>

<b>Step 1.</b> Cut out a 1" circle from a thicker material such as cardstock or thin chipboard. Make 5 little marks and start adding petals on each of the marks.<br />
<br />

<b>Step 2. </b>Your first layer will look like this.<br />
<br />

<b>Step 3.</b> Keep building your flower by staggering your petals to add dimension.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I had another thought!!! What if after the Gesso I went ahead and INKED the item. I used my Tim Holtz Metallic Distress Stain from my stash.. to paint the butterfly and THEN I embossed it. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi, My name is Lisa and by profession I am a registered nurse.
I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 children who
are now successful young adults. I have been a crafter my
whole life. Back in 2005, when my son was doing his senior project with
his girlfriend (who is now his wife) They were creating a scrapbook of
their lives. They elicited my help as I was the crafty one. I found Scrapbook.com and saw the kind of scrap
booking the
artists did. I was amazed at the styles. It just wasn't cut and paste
and stickers. It was 3 dimensional, it was gorgeous, and oh so
inspiring. So I created a gallery, created my first layout and the rest
is history. My style has changed a bit throughout the years, but playing
with and scissors is still so therapeutic for me. I am honored and
excited to be Guest Designing for Scrap That for the month of August. </span></div>

Lisa is well known for her amazing handcrafted flowers. She currently designs for Blue Fern Studios and is on the Donna Salazar 2013 Guest Design Team. </div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
"Hi, My name is Lisa, and by profession I am a registered nurse.
I am married to my high school sweetheart and we have 2 children who
are now successful young adults. I have been a crafter my
whole life. Back in 2005, my son was doing his senior project with
his girlfriend (who is now his wife). They were creating a scrapbook of
their lives. They elicited my help as I was the crafty one. We took a
ride to The Dollar Tree (our local dollar store) that had a section
dedicated to scrap booking papers, albums, embellishments, flowers, and
we grabbed everything we could find. I knew about the new way of scrap
booking, but
never gave it any thought until that trip to The Dollar Tree. After
helping the kids create their albums, I was curious as to where I could
get more "scrapbooking stuff".
So I drove to our local Michaels and Joanns craft stores. That is when I
became hooked. I sought out the local scrapbook stores and found
stuff I didn't even know existed until then. I shopped and shopped and
shopped some more. I found Scrapbook.com and saw the kind of scrap
booking the
artists did. I was amazed at the styles. It just wasn't cut and paste
and stickers. It was 3 dimensional, it was gorgeous, and oh so
inspiring. So I created a gallery, created my first layout and the rest
is history. My style has changed a bit throughout the years, but playing
with paper and scissors is still so therapeutic for me. I am honored and
excited to be Guest Designing for Scrap That for the month of August."</div>

I'm so excited to be here!! I'm excited, humbled and honored to be here. I live in Hot Springs National Park, Arkansas. I have a 14 year old son, David and our crazy pug George. It can get super fun crazy. I’ve been scrapping for many years. I fell in love with it. I love creating. As the years have passed I’ve seen so many neat and amazing things. I’ve enjoyed learning and growing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have a love for flowers, chippies and beautiful papers. Actually I love all things connected with scrapping! It was so much fun to serve on The Paper Mixing Bowl. I currently serve at Paper Temptress. I’ve been published in Scrap N’ Art Magazine. I love trying new techniques and colors. I also try a variety of different styles. Mixed Media intrigues me.</div>

It's a very simple flower tutorial that can be done in under 5 minutes! So, let's get started!<br />
<br />
<b>Supplies</b>:<br />
<ul>
<li>Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die</li>
<li>manual die cutting machine</li>
<li>small rose from ScrapThat! Kit</li>
<li>tulle from ScrapThat! Kit</li>
<li>white pearls from ScrapThat! Kit</li>
<li>glue dots</li>
</ul>

<b>Step 1</b>. Die cut 6 Tattered Florals out of the tulle included in this month's kit.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW44jJ346TBblxcXlkq9vqwKS91iQTcHKo5zadsCbQ4K_sEa0evuMMzvmbsCc-vB7hDgPhWhuFOu5nEpKZpk0Y-c2lwvzI5YR1wmCRhjBECKMbsl5POHdMKMSnAWc3ragRxxrlWMQ7S6E/s1600/Amy+July+tutorial+02_edited.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiW44jJ346TBblxcXlkq9vqwKS91iQTcHKo5zadsCbQ4K_sEa0evuMMzvmbsCc-vB7hDgPhWhuFOu5nEpKZpk0Y-c2lwvzI5YR1wmCRhjBECKMbsl5POHdMKMSnAWc3ragRxxrlWMQ7S6E/s320/Amy+July+tutorial+02_edited.JPG" /></a><br />
<b>Step 2. </b>Fold each flower in half and then in thirds. You should be holding something like this.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNPGI2YhZzbcKD6TjmIWnYcEOnyO7N31In1S7THJNVvlUn3XbW8OBLVwh-N4IyJOpREbwIs56I0ToOQkrPpLhNHrEoGHChwVmOuqcn03xVho5xjooPEu1Aa6i4V3Os3CL1Coe9ZdBV-gY/s1600/Amy+July+tutorial+03_edited.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNPGI2YhZzbcKD6TjmIWnYcEOnyO7N31In1S7THJNVvlUn3XbW8OBLVwh-N4IyJOpREbwIs56I0ToOQkrPpLhNHrEoGHChwVmOuqcn03xVho5xjooPEu1Aa6i4V3Os3CL1Coe9ZdBV-gY/s320/Amy+July+tutorial+03_edited.JPG" /></a><br />
<b>Step 3</b>. Add tulle flower over a small scrap square piece of paper with a glue dot.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WauBGELhBBLbGRJeg1Qd4HcD6cpHjOxg7iKddZH-pEk5cPok0erew67MPiftcpqwsGNbwQo51Ni_VaI7Zo564C5sPzdfvhZla6BU1BuA4gYJy6D-4cZAEIZzPyOrp-wy4Uw8LT_wXfo/s1600/Amy+July+tutorial+04_edited.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7WauBGELhBBLbGRJeg1Qd4HcD6cpHjOxg7iKddZH-pEk5cPok0erew67MPiftcpqwsGNbwQo51Ni_VaI7Zo564C5sPzdfvhZla6BU1BuA4gYJy6D-4cZAEIZzPyOrp-wy4Uw8LT_wXfo/s320/Amy+July+tutorial+04_edited.JPG" /></a><br />
<b>Step 4.</b> Repeat steps 2-3 until you are done with the die cut flowers. You should have a very puffy looking flower right now. Don't worry about the paper layer int he bottom as you will cover it up in the next step!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv4eKvegNil00n2btydLAnL-0CQ6JATdVfGahuQO8q_IKeLYSVgxF0m-dg5G0ffudT5joVUNwER3nwZz2gkcbFHqsmd8KHDoS0_DQVrx4Vi8i3i7kceB4XQSMxUNVUUMgH727e7Vz897g/s1600/Amy+July+tutorial+05_edited.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv4eKvegNil00n2btydLAnL-0CQ6JATdVfGahuQO8q_IKeLYSVgxF0m-dg5G0ffudT5joVUNwER3nwZz2gkcbFHqsmd8KHDoS0_DQVrx4Vi8i3i7kceB4XQSMxUNVUUMgH727e7Vz897g/s320/Amy+July+tutorial+05_edited.JPG" /></a><br />
<b>Step 5.</b> To embellish the center, add a small rose from the kit to its center and start adding white pearls all around the flower. I ended up using 7 large pearls.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmX27PCNnAZE78bZX46Sa4C6D36Yni2U1lxyqftz6222FG8-mTsu54P2YpHEO33OzG9kVjlIIZsQgX2-nKRfvi_8weY50eVc5xpi1g7qBAjgjOg0SG-gbuZPgu0FSVAyqPBb5i1BVgS88/s1600/Amy+July+tutorial+06_edited.JPG"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmX27PCNnAZE78bZX46Sa4C6D36Yni2U1lxyqftz6222FG8-mTsu54P2YpHEO33OzG9kVjlIIZsQgX2-nKRfvi_8weY50eVc5xpi1g7qBAjgjOg0SG-gbuZPgu0FSVAyqPBb5i1BVgS88/s320/Amy+July+tutorial+06_edited.JPG" /></a><br />
<b>Step 6. </b>Here's your finished tulle flower ready for your layout or card!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
and here is how it looks in a layout:</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Hi there! Today I am going to share a little more detail about my creations with the gorgeous <a href="http://www.scrapthat.ca/">ScrapThat! July Kit</a> featuring Pink Paislee's "Hope Chest" collection.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Using a Martha Stewart corner punch, I made a doily of sorts from the sheet of cork.The little butterflies are cork as well. I am really loving the cork because of the texture and earthy feel and the cork Alphas are the perfect complement. The pic is my daughter at the falls near our house taken on her graduation from middle school day. She changed out of her "dress up" clothes and we took a nice walk at the <a href="http://masstraveljournal.com/places/western-ma/north-adams-natural-bridge">Natural Bridge in North Adams, MA. </a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I love the way her hair is still "up and fancy" but she is in her comfortable clothes while at her childhood hangout. I tried to capture her sense of peace and wistfulness. There is a fabulous Crafter's Workshop stencil in the background that used with molding paste to capture that sense of time and passage. I fussy cut the flowers</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> and used gesso to lighten the flocked ribbon. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Love the banners in the sketch!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The little scrabble tiles are the cutest! We all got different letters, which was fun! The cork Thickers Alphas go so perfectly with the cork background. I love the nature and map prints to these papers.. which made me think of rolled up maps which led to..my background idea! I misted the papers lightly before wrapping them around a paintbrush handle and gluing them closed. I posted a tutorial on how I made my gesso embossed foliage on July 8. The Pink Paislee burlap butterflies give some great texture and match perfectly. The twine is from my stash.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This month I am hosting the <a href="http://scrapthat.ning.com/forum/topics/create-a-canvas-challenge-with-tracey-g">DT Challenge</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> My challenge for you is to make a canvas-any size-</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">using pictures or just mixed media-just play! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here is my inspiration piece:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKGKOrPD3SyEXYpt5H9fCGUY-Hk3U__6bW184Oz9F6Z6jfAfP80OHbQcCP05cTijydlXe_scqm8pOICBiSqvJ90OR2eD3H_zh86eOMQ0Wpng0VbhFkbvDMMtSsGnxyXgBrgfaHyHfXpVU/s1600/defygravity2.2mb.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="251" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKGKOrPD3SyEXYpt5H9fCGUY-Hk3U__6bW184Oz9F6Z6jfAfP80OHbQcCP05cTijydlXe_scqm8pOICBiSqvJ90OR2eD3H_zh86eOMQ0Wpng0VbhFkbvDMMtSsGnxyXgBrgfaHyHfXpVU/s320/defygravity2.2mb.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I made the background with modge-podged sections of the kit paper, then using the mesh from the main kit as a stencil, applied light molding paste and lots of Heidi Swapp Mists. Once that was dry, I gessoed,stamped and just had some messy fun. I layered the pics of Vivi for a more 3 dimensional effect. That way I could gesso,paint and stamp the background but leave her sweet self clear.The butterflies are courtesy of the talented Lisa Gregory and were inspired by<a href="http://pinterest.com/pin/284571270177259702/"> this gorgeous card.</a> I printed them out in various sizes to give the illusion of motion. I added some Tim Holtz tissue tape and matted the pic with more papers from the kit. All the colors in this collection blend so seamlessly! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I named this one,"Defying Gravity" because Vivien, with the grace of God and diligence from her parents, has not had any respiratory difficulties despite her Cystic Fibrosis. She still takes multiple medications and requires restrictions that other 2 year olds don't have to deal with. I wanted to capture a moment of joy and freedom and hope!</span><br />
