Exploring Image Transfers: Transparencies

In this third article in my series on image transfers, you'll find one of my all time favorite projects. I've admitted it before. I'm a dollar store junkie. When the canvas placemat found its way into my cart, I justified my "habit" with the knowledge that there are far worse addictions. Little did I dream that this purchase would become a treasured documentation of a vacation memory. With minimal sewing, a cute little tote was the result.



Here's the same process applied to the fabric card front. Another great photo - another great memory. An added bonus is the simplicity of the supplies: Claudine Hellmuth Studio Multi Medium Gloss and Extra Time Slow-Dry Medium.



You'll find the details for this process and these projects on pages 88 - 89 of the June 2011 issue of Crafts 'n things.

ATCs - Beyond Trading: Pop Up Surprise

I love the names of the colors: Stick Candy, Lemon Drops, Chicken Feed, and Cough Syrup to name a few. The colors are delicious as are the paints and inks in Jenni Bowlin's new line of paints and inks for Ranger®. I paired them with Inkssentials™ Sticky-Back Canvas ATCs and the Claudine Hellmuth Studio Creative Layers stamps to create these ATCs and the pop-up surprise card.
