My project today features the very first set of Tim's cling mount set, Nature's Moments by Stampers Anonymous CMS001.
I love these flowers. I have used this set over and over again.
To start our project we are going to work backwards. Visualize the colors and placement of the flowers and color the Watercolor Cardstock with Distress Ink on an Ink Blending Tool.
Dry ink with a heat tool. It's important to dry the ink so the Embossing Powder doesn't stick to this ink.
Stamp the flowers with Distress Embossing Ink positioning it over the colored areas.
Apply Clear Embossing Powder over the stamped flowers and shake off excess.
Heat the Embossing Powder with a heat tool.
Apply dark Distress Ink like Chipped Sapphire over the card. The embossed areas will act like a resist.
I also added some Pine Needle Distress Ink at the bottom. Continue to layer the ink until you get good coverage.
Postion the Dot Fade stencil and spritz with water, blot off excess water, lift stencil carefully and blot again with a towel.
Love how the ink lightened to create the texture in the background. Ahh…the magic of Distress!
Potion the Latticework stencil, spritz with water, blot off excess water, remove stencil and blot off excess water.
Look at all the lovely layers!
Lay a piece of copier paper over the embossed images. Iron with a hot iron to lift the embossing off the flowers. Repeat using a new piece of copier paper each time until the embossing over the flowers is lifted.
See how the embossing is lifted off onto the copier paper.
Tear the all the edges to fit the Burlap Panel.
Distress the edges with a Paper Distresser and add Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink with an Ink Blending tool.
Cut a piece of brown Kraft'Core to 5 1/2" x 7 1/2", sand the cardstock with a sanding grip, distress the edges with a Paper Distresser and ink with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink on an Ink Blending Tool.
Ink the edges of the Burlap Panel with Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink on an Ink Blending Tool.
Apply a generous amount of Multi Medium to the back of the Corners and place on opposing corners.
Use rubber bands to hold the Corners on while the Multi Medium dries.
Sew around the edge a few times if desired.
Choose some ChitChat words, ink the edges with Distress Ink on an Ink Blending Tool and add to the background.
Add Remnant Rubs
Color Crinkle Ribbon with Distress Ink and wrap around your hand three times.
Tie ribbon with another piece of Crinkle Ribbon around Burlap Panel.
Don't forget to use a square knot.
Attach a Heart Charm with a Jump Ring to a Wire Pin then pin to the bow. Can't wait to hang it on the wall!
This could be YOUR lucky day to win one of these prizes! That means 4 chances to win and it could be you, I'll keep my fingers crossed. Leave me a comment by midnight on Sunday, August 17th and this just might be your lucky day!
Thanks for stopping in!

Just to clarify I was alone when the happy dance happened here!! lol
Liked all your different techniques - I have those stencils but I didn't think to use them that way. Thanks for the ideas.
I love your panel! I just bought a couple of packages of those burlap panels and have been itching to make something with them. And I need those tins now that I've seen how good they look filled with minis in color order! I could stare at them all day!

Oh my, such cool techniques. I really want to try this.
Great idea for the burlap boards, good luck everyone on the tim goods. rhondaparkins@gmail.com
One of my favourite blogs to check has always been yours, your creativity never disappoints, and this time was no exception. I just love this Burlap Panel, and the technique was great, I have never seen anyone ink before embossing to create a resist in such a spectacular way. Thanks so much for sharing, I think I may have to borrow this technique from you, but I doubt mine will turn out as nicely;)
So glad I found you! I came across your post on pintrest. Great tutorial. Cant wait to try the new products
Such a bright and happy piece of art. I love the reverse bossing technique you used. So clever.
I see why these mini pads can be so much fun to use. Wonderful techniques. Sincerely, Elaine Rico
This is such a beautiful project! It is so stunning! Thanks for sharing!
I'm so glad Tim posted a link to your site-- I love finding new people to steal ideas from... and you are one gifted artist I WILL be stealing from (my mother used to tell me it's a COMPLIMENT!)

Your panel is gorgeous! I think ironing off the embossing makes such a difference. It really allows the colors in the flowers to be so much brighter and keeps even more people wondering how you did that!
Love your resist technique

I agree these are some of my favorite flowers to use as well. Love the effect you got with them.

Very pretty and very doable even for me!
Love your project! I love doing mixed media and am self taught by what I have learned on the internet. Thanks for the new ideas!
Laying down the color first and then embossing is a great technique. I also love how you used the stencils to make the background interesting.
Great project! How long did it take you? How could you sew the artwork onto the burlap? Or wasn't the burlap on a frame?
I love the resist idea. The colors are so soothing. I would adore them all. Creative juices are flowing already. Can't wait to get started. Thanks for the tutorial. --Karen Seidlitz

What a relaxing piece! Nice job.
Absolutely love this project. MUST get those canvas cards. Amazing. Keep up the wonderful work!
Great twist on the resist emboss technique. Love how you inked the areas where the flowers would go before embossing and the way you applied the ink then stencil and water. Your canvas is gorgeous! Love it and the vibrant colors you've obtained with your Distress Minis. Thanks for showing us how it's done.
I LOVE your project. I have an empty tin just waiting for the last set of inks :)
Richele, Wow !! Wow !! Wow !! I'm loving your technique with the embossing powder and then ironing off, stunning canvas !!

I love the burlap panel and the many layers and techniques that your tutorial highlighted. Thank you for sharing your talent and the opportunity to win the new mini's
Thank you! I haven't thought of the resist technique this way in a while; I'm inspired to make something right away ;D
I hope that I am not too late! I am participating on Australian time, and I just had to say how much I liked your piece. I was wondering about why you blotted off all of the embossing ink though. Was it to give a more matte look to the colour, or does it make the colour more vibrant? I also really liked the way that you used the stencils for a great layered background.
Beautiful work - I always forget we can use embossing powder in this way... :-)
Gorgeous, as always!
Stunning project, wonderful inspiration!!!
Just love the resist application and the use of the stencils; color and embellishments! Will try the flowers with embossing powder. Thanks!!
Very inspiring!
Love the colors you used, very different from the usual. Very pretty.
Wow it's really beautiful !!
