Steampunk Canvas Art with Veronica

Hi, Veronica here today to share with you my latest project.  I had some of my girl friends over the other day and we decided to paint.  The picture was given to me by my friend Michelle.  She had a beautiful wedding, and I was lucky enough to be part of her special day.

For my post today I decided to use an old wire basket that I was going to throw out.  Instead I re-purposed it and used some pieces of left over paper, a roll of jute string, my glue and of course my Leaky Shed Studio chipboard.

Leaky Shed Studio - Chipboard Shapes - Bracket Frame

I started by preparing my chipboard with Tim Holtz Distress Inks ...

I then used a little "wow" embossing powder in copper to give my chipboard a metal industrial look.

I added the bracket background and was finished with my frame

I have lots of jars of different crystals, metal pieces, and pretty jewels.  So instead of having all my jars spread around ... I decided to put them all in one place.

Thank you so much for stopping by our challenge today.  Remember if you want to play leave a comment below with a link to your project using your stash and Leaky Shed Studio

Thank you,

Scatter Joy Card with Veronica Johnson (kitsnbitscraps)

Hi, Veronica here today to share with you a sweet card.  This card is blank inside but the sentiment on the front "Scatter Joy" can be for a friend/family member that you are thinking of.  It can also be used as a Birthday card.

My card is 5x7 which is my favorite card size.  I have plenty of room to add lots of layers and Leaky Shed Chipboard.

Today I used the Leaky Shed Studio -  Bird Branch

I used the Outline stamps to create a stacked flower.

For my Leaky Shed Studio Bird Branch I used some paints, copics and embossing powder

For my process and the product list that I used other than Leaky Shed Studio chipboard, please click here for my blog:  Kitsnbitscraps

Sweet Baby Layout with Veronica (kitsnbitscraps)

Hi, its my turn today and I am sharing a Sweet Baby layout that I did using Leaky Shed Studio "Baby", and also Swirl Vine Corner.

I normally do not work with blank space but decided to go ahead and do something different.  The cute "Humpty Dumpty" is hand drawn and pieced together, along with the crowns.

For my main title I used "Baby"; then I used the "Swirl Vine Corner" which I cut in half and used on my page.

For more photos of my process and techniques used to create this layout please visit my blog "Kitsnbitscaps"

Thank you for stopping by ...

March Playtime with Veronica

Hi Veronica here today to share with you a layout I created using photos I had of my nephew.  He was such a cute baby.

I used the frog theme because the park we would take the kids to was called Polliwog Park.

I used the LSS spring butterflies, dragonfly, and the Moroccan border chipboard

I also used the pack of LSS "12 months".  I painted my chipboard yellow then decided to paint over it with my zig painty pen

Thank you for stopping by today, happy scrapping ...

Cameo Card With Veronica

Hi Veronica here today to share with you a pretty vintage card using Leaky Shed Studio Cameo chippie.

I used both the Cameo and the Damask chipboards.  Then I added all my favorite "go to" embellishments, ribbon and flowers and jewels.  I also added different mist sprays, copics and also gold paint.

After adding the micro beads I went ahead and sealed it with Helmar Crystal Kote Matte Varnish so that the beads stay put.  Then I splattered my entire card with gold paint.

Thank you for stopping by today .... happy scrapping

Fairy Doll Canvas with Julie Nutting Chipboard

Hi, Veronica here today to share with you my latest mixed media canvas.  I layered and used lots of paints, sprays, paste, markers, etc.

Today I am using the Julie Nutting chipboard doll and new willow flower to make a cute Fairy Doll Canvas. In order for my my doll to look like a fairy I added the Leaky Shed Studio Large Spring Butterfly wings.

 Large Spring Butterfly

I have lots of photos today to show you my process from start to finish.  I first prepped my canvas with a layer of gesso then strips of G45 fairy paper.

For the butterfly wings I first painted it with Gesso, then I brushed some Art Anthology "Amber" gemstone sorbet and last I covered the wings with BoBunny Gold Glitter paste.

For my process of how I prep my canvas for my chipboard and the step by step photos of layering my embellishments please see my blog.

Thank you for stopping by, Veronica (kitsnbitscraps)
