White Spruce Studio March Freebie - Stained Glass Bunny Download

Hello!
Let's have some fun with something from White Spruce Studio!
Today I am playing with...
March Freebie from White Spruce Studio
Available here

NEW - White Spruce Studio - Bunny Stained Glass Download

Each design comes with detailed instructions with photos.

You can find this wonderful design in two stores:



For this project, i used a White Spruce Studio March Freebie called Stained Glass Bunny.
You can find this here:

I chose to use the SVG format, but there is a black line download as well.
Instead of cutting it out with my Cricut, i changed the cutting lines to "score".
I used a metallic gold paper that has a kraft paper backing.
This gave an embossing look, but it is not raised...so more like an etched look.
Next, i sanded the metallic paper to give it a distressed look. Then i decided to paint sections. I knew that i could use Ranger Tim Holtz distress paint because it adheres to wood, plastic etc. Stopping there would have been good, but i wanted a bit more distressing so i pulled out Art Alchemy Matte Wax - Charcoal Black, again this adheres well.. in this case too well for me, so i did a bit more sanding and repainted the bunny, flowers and vines again. I like this look better, instead of the solid white i had to begin with i now had a mixture of the paint and wax.
This Freebie isn't just an SVG... you also get a Black and white PNG, JPG download that you can color. I plan to try some other techniques with this pretty design.


Thank you for stopping by!

Thinking about Spring Flowers!

Created this cute shirt and skirt for American Girl WellieWishers, Ashlyn!
I have had this fabric "scrap" for some time and thought it would be fun to use the tiny bit of border i had as the skirt and then i used the floral part of the fabric above the border for the shirt!
I added rick rack to the shirt insets.
This border fabric had two different borders in between the floral design, so i am hoping to make another dress/project using the other border for an 18" doll.


Thanks for Stopping By!

I am sharing a scrapbook page of my daughter, who lives in Colorado.  She started "container" gardening in her side yard a couple years ago and this is how she started. 
Her dog, Olive is also a fan! 

I have also used:
Spellbinders - Fresh Picked Anemones Cutting Dies
For this scrapbook page, i printed off the same photo in different sizes to fit the 8" x 8" page.  I also added her dog from another photo.
I hand scored and accordion folded the metallic base to look like her garden strips.  (using a paper crimper would have been faster, but mine wasn't available when i created this page) I also distressed the metallic paper, first by sanding it and thenby using paint and wiping it back.
Share you scrapbook pages with us here!

Sending Love to Someone Special!

I created this "ice cream" figure to look like a SquishMallow toy called, Dibbs.
This cutting die is super fun, it has feet that swing back and forth and makes it looks like this die is dancing!
This image is a altered by using several Spellbinders products together.
Spellbinders - Dancin' Figgy Pudding (main image)
Spellbinders - Dancing Hearts (used straight legs for the "rope" banner and the top of the cherry, leaf for cherry)
Spellbinders - Gingerbread Plane & Banner ( used banner and the cloud for "ice cream" drips)
Spellbinders - Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree (APG die of the month Nov21) used top layer of ornament for cherry and added "double" bow to the cherry
Spellbinders - Stacked Stories (3D embossing folder of the month May 25) used small lattice section of book binding for the "ice cream cone" texture

Hello!
Let's have some fun with something from White Spruce Studio!
Today I am playing with...

NEW - White Spruce Studio - Baby Farm Animals (52 images)

Each design comes with detailed instructions with photos.

For this project, i printed out the images several times to make 3D images. I hand cut them out and layered them with double sided foam tape. Then i added them to cardboard that i added to the embroidery hoop. What is nice about digital downloads is that you can make them small or large to fit your project!!
