Behind The Art Video! April Mixed Media kit

holy cow yesterday was a LONG day! I got a new video camera because my old one.. just stopped working about a week ago.. and couldn't be fixed.. so got a new one just the exact model and brand as my last one.. but obviously a year newer. WELL i edit everything in Imovie for my blog, my classes, etc.. and apparently this new model isn't compatible with Imovie.. and so all the videos I took and segments I did for the april mixed media kit video.. AND all of my workshop videos to date, Art and I have done for the Living Canvas.. couldn't be edited or read on the mac!!  I was freaking out.. lol.. cause I did NOT have time to redo 15 plus hours of video.. I really wanted to cry. Well FINALLY around 10:00 pm last night we were able to convert them using a program we downloaded and wahoo!!! it worked! So yeah.. I was supposed to have this uploaded yesterday.. but alas.. didn't work out that way! Lol

But now it's done!!  and I LOVE how this month's kit turned out!  

  

I did a set of three canvases.. that are designed to sit on a shelf or a wall together.. 6x6 in size..

This month's kit includes a paper pad from Studio Calico, Modeling paste (texture magic) from Delta, Paint from DecoArt, Wood Veneer Butterflies from Studio Calico, Kaleidoscope Stencil from DecoArt,  Alphabet stickers from Dear Lizzy, and a border punch from American Crafts. (which by the way, i have gotten a few email about people worried that they can't use the punch without buying the big punch it fits into.. but I ASSURE you.. you can.. you will see how in the video.. just use your hands lol) 

I wanted a super soft palette for this, so kept in the blue , cream and wood tones. Seriously love how it turned out..

I am really into butterflies lately.. because butterflies represent change.. which is a GOOD thing. (you will hear me talk a lot about them and use them in my Living Canvas Workshop :)

anyhow! turned out super fun!  AND YES we do have more of these LISTED in our Shop! check it out..

Before I post the video.. I ALSO wanted to tell you that on MONDAY.. I am doing a BIG sale on all of my She Art Products.. including my line from Pink Paislee, My line from Unity stamps AND i brought in a new exclusive line of paints from DecoARt that match my SHe Art line.. PLUS new Faber Castell Big Brush Pens.. (a NEW BRIGHTS SET!!) that match it too! So monday I will have a fun video showing you how to make a she girl canvas with all of those products.. and have a big 2 day sale on it too! We ordered lots in.. to accommodate the sale! Just a heads up in-case you wanted to order some.. wait until monday.. to save some money :) 

Anyhow! I hope you have a SUPER fabulous Day!  It's Thursday! :) wahoo!

Watching you work made me feel so happy inside. Your style is free, colorful and playful. I wish more people could know that joy when they create. Thank you for sharing your artistry with us. Very inspiring!

I'm tickled pink to have just signed up for 21 Secrets! I haven't looked at the workshops yet but am loving getting to know all the teachers! So glad you're one of them!

[Gwen Taylor]

love how effortless you make this look.

[J.r. Jackson]

I cannot wait for the sale!!! This is my second kit, and I am do glad I signed up.

[Carla Bange]

I love that you, too, have stopped using brushes and are just using our favorite tools: our hands! I love my craft sponge for getting all the paint off my hands and nails after I finish creating.

Also, the Whispering Turquoise paint color from AmericanCrafts is wonderful. I am ready to re-order that and check out the other colors from your ScarletLime line, too. Thanks, Christy!

[andrera]

Christy,
I love this project, as I just cleaned my craft room and then I watched your video I laughed really hard watching you paint with your fingers! I keep trying to figure out how you find time to do this and take care or your family??? I need to know.....I so miss having my fingers in the paint and that is so much more fun than the dirt!

[Juliana Hall]

I had this quote in my bedroom as a teenager and I don't know here it's from, but it's "To be a butterfly, one must want to fly so much, they are willing to give up being a caterpillar." Love these canvases, just bought the kit!

[Jana Darrirngton]

Butterfly migration! love it!!!

[Danette Munn]

really wish I had gotten this kit, but I failed to sign myself back up after you stopped the F.F. kit. I will not miss out on next month kit though.....I hope.
