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.
There are times when I really wish that my photography skills were stronger, and this is one of them. The original butterfly photo was spectacular if I do say so myself, but my pictures of the butterfly card and the bird necklace don't begin to do the projects justice. Thank goodness the photographer at Crafts 'n things® doesn't share my limitations. You'll have to check out his much better pictures on pages 86 and 87 in the April 2011. First the butterfly card.
The whimsical bird necklace uses the same technique, but what a different effect. Both projects use Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints and Gloss Multi Medium. While the butterfly was transferred to cardstock, the necklace is made with Claudine Hellmuth Studio Natural Sticky-Back Canvas. I rarely wear jewelry, but this will be an exception!
