Summer Fun

Happy Tuesday to you! I have a project to share with you featuring pieces from the June Club Q kits by Quick Quotes and using my fabulous Canon Pixma IP8720 Printer.

I recently had the opportunity to go to a crop and grabbed the June Club Q kits that I had and my 2017 PowderPuff Chalk Inks along with my photo collage that I printed out in advance.

I cut apart a few of the die cut elements and layered them in a grid pattern as a focal point for my collage photo. I liked the way the layered frames mimic the pattern and design of the collage. Using the die cut pieces from the kit made assembly of this page super quick and easy!

For the die cut title in the kit, I applied some Bora Bora PowderPuff Chalk Ink to tint it a bit darker. Once it dried, I added some Wink of Stella to just the bottom part of the title to give it a reflective appearance. 

I created my photo collage using my Canon Pixma IP8720 printer and their My Image Garden software. It was super easy to do and I really like being able to use multiple photos in a single print. I used the Travel and Leisure 3 template from the software.

Enjoy the Beauty

Happy Saturday to you!  I was recently up on the Quick Quotes blog with a spring inspired project.

This card features papers from the Anchors Aweigh and Chiffon collections. I love how nicely the collections compliment each other!

"Enjoy The Beauty"

I was drawn to the blues and greens with the pop of peach/coral. I inked my paper edges with Seabrook and Aqua. A bit of Peach Tree was used for coloring my leaves and flourishes.

• The flowers are cut from Chiffon 101, then misted in teal and gold to provide a touch of variation and shine. 
• The peach vines are cut from the Chiffon 105 script papers, inked lightly with Peach Tree PowderPuff Chalk Ink, then brushed with a mixture of White, Gold and Orange Shine Spray.

Inspirational Canvas with Quick Quotes

Happy Tuesday to you!  I have a fun project to share with you that I created for Quick Quotes recently.

I made an inspirational canvas to share with you featuring the all new "Anchors Aweigh" collection along with a few pieces from another new collection called "49 Shades of Grey". A while ago a friend of mine was creating a few of these canvases at a crop and I was very intrigued and wanted to give it a try.

I used my PowderPuff Chalk Inks to color the edges of my 8x10 canvas prior to adhering my pattern papers. I simply ripped them and decoupaged them on. You can see some tissue paper from an old pattern is used here as well.

The heart and sentiment strips were stamped with PowderPuff Chalk Ink in Midnight Confessions. I used a paint brush with Peach to color in the heart and Blue Lagoon and Caribbean Blue blended to achieve the other colors in the heart.

Here you can see some modeling paste that I used along with Gold Glimmer spray. The flourish rub-ons are from my Quick Quotes stash of goodies. They worked perfectly as little accents around the canvas. The wonderful thing about this technique is it doesn't matter if they adhere perfectly, you just take bits and pieces and rub them where you want an accent.

I hope I inspired you today to check out our new paper collections and don't be afraid to look in your stash to find another item or two that works with your project. If you feel a little stuck like I did at first, I spent some time checking out YouTube and Christy Tomlinson's videos were a great resource!.
