One of the things Clare love to embellish with Art Glitter are digital stamps. If you have never used a digital stamp, they are graphic images; that look like a stamped image, you can print out on your computer. The printed image is then treated like a stamped image. Digital stamps are Clare's favorite method for making last minute cards when she has no stamp in the stash to fit the occasion! Clare found these peonies at an Etsy store called Aurora Wings. She loves the flowers, fairies and angels at this shop. This digital stamp is called Peony.
Once Clare printed the image out, she colored it with Copic Markers, using the colors shown in the photo below. She then added Crystal Art Glitter using the Ultra fine Metal tip to add dimension to the peonies. The white glitter really makes it more three dimensional! Love it!

Clare also used Art Glitter Leaf glitter and the Ultra fine metal tip along the lines in the leaves on the digital image.

For the lattice die behind the stamped image, Clare cut Art Glitter Stick paper and applied the Art Glitter Cacao Elements. This is a very chunky product and does not fill in all of the white space, so Clare applied a second layer with Art Glitter Chestnut Ultrafine glitter. So beautiful and the card smells wonderful! She added a bit of ribbon and buttons and stamped Happy Mother's day using a Close to My Heart stamp.

Art Glitter Mother's Day Canvas

Vintage Chic Mother's Day Canvas

Heather decided she would like to share with you a Vintage Vintage Chic Inspired Mother's Day Canvas!! You will need the following:

Sweet Mommy image
Roses paper image
gesso
blue gelato
scissors
paint brushes
foam brushes
folk art brand paints: Baby Pink, Lipstick Red, Vintage White, Old Ivy, Classic green, Fresh Foliage, Burnt Umber
6 inch square canvas
anitque mod podge
Art Glitter Designer dries clear Glue
Art Glitters: #208 Fauna, and #165 Autumn

Step One
Heather used Art Glitter Designer Dries Clear glue to adhere her Rose paper to canvas, then applied some gesso. Next Heather used more Designer glue to add her Sweet Mommy Image. She ten applied antique mod podge and covered some of the rose paper with a blue gelato (and blended it in to the piece). She also added some paint to the rose image and leaves. She added some extra leaves and buds too.

Step Two
Heather painted rosebuds and leaves around her image as well as some brown comma strokes. She finished painting the rose in the upper left and then covered the whole canvas with mod podge. Once the mod podge was dry, she added a layer of watered down burnt umber, which you will see below. She let it set for about 30 Seconds..then wiped it off to give the canvas a vintage look

Step Three
Once the burnt umber paint was dry, Heather used a diamond stencil and old brush to apply designer dries clear glue to different areas of her canvas. You can see the diamond shaped areas pretty well in the lower left of the image below. Fauna Glitter was added to the diamond shapes. Heather used the same brush to more designer dries clear glue to the edges of her canvas, and she then applied Autumn glitter, which is one of her new favorites!!
