well hello! First off! Update on The Fund-raising cards! They are being mailed out tomorrow! ( i didn't realise it but today yesterday was actually the last day to sign up.. so they are getting all of their cards today!) The actual card and insert has all the info about the coupons on them AS WELL as the code for our Scarlet lIme store will be SHIPPING out tomorrow! :) So those who helped out.. AND THANK YOU!! (you helped raise over $4500 for team!!.. INCREDIBLE!), They are on their way! I will also be sending out an email today with the code in it as well. So you have it in both forms. xoxo
So as I mentioned over the last few weeks I have been working on some videos for my blog!
Many of you have asked me why I don't do videos anymore.. however.. I actually do! lol. Since January I have done over 100 videos tutorials! Crazy!!.. but they are all for my online classes, I offer.. which many of you take. However be doing so many, and with moving, etc. it didn't leave much room or time to do them for my blog as well. I know I've shared written and picture tutorials over the last few months, but not a video one. So i figured it's about time to do SOME! Right?? lol
I am hoping to post one tutorial each week for the next several weeks.. AND when I do post them, I thought it would be fun to do a giveaway as well!! Since I will be making finished canvases with them, I thought it would be fun to giveaway either the finished canvas or a kit!
For this tutorial I would LOVE to give the finished canvas away.. SO all you have to do to enter.. is to post a comment on thIS blog post and you are entered in! Then Monday I will pick a winner! Wahoo!
I like to use the kits from our Scarlet LIme Store and kit club for the videos, because many of you already have the product (you purchase the kits).. or you can go buy it in one kit in the store. So it's easy peasy! But if you don't have a kit (you can still purchase them in the store).. you can easily get inspiration to use things similar that you have on hand!
For this tutorial I used the June 2013 mixed media kit (from the scarlet lime kit club & Store HERE).
When I first picked out the products for this kit, I was thinking "banner" project. On canvas! All of the items included in the kit can easily be used to make a "banner" on canvas. So many possibilities with them! Plus of course add texture, and such as well.. this is what I came up with..
I used a 10"x10" canvas and also paints, in addition to the pieces in the kit.
These are what I used and are linked for your convenience to our store!
(plus of course paint brushes, my Scarlet Lime Doodle pens, Faber Castell Pens, DecoPauge, a few stamps and Archival ink for texture. and Paint!)
By the way.. I just got done LISTING my favorite roller stamps (as shown in this video).. in our store HERE.
And remember TODAY we aer still offering FREE SHIPPING on all orders over $30.00!
Use the code: freeship30 -for US customers. FOr international customers you receive 15% off your order: use code: happyday13
note: you can only use one coupon per order so they can't be combined with any other coupons.
here's a little peak below of more detailed pictures!
of course I used lots of doodling as well..
and that's it! Here is the finished piece one more time!
So without further wait.. HERE is the video that shows the process!
Don't forget to leave a comment on the blog to be entered to win this canvas! I will pick a winner MONDAY!!
Happy thursday!
xoxo
Christy
