Butterfly Canvas for Live with Prima

It's time for my new Live with Prima video!  As you probably know, I like to turn my canvases over and use the back of them.  For this project, I wanted to mix it up and build upward on my canvas.    You can see the video below with complete instructions on how I created this canvas.

You can watch the video here:



Here is a close up of the new Memory Hardware frame.  I love these things!  Also, the video includes directions for how I colored it with Prima's new Waxes from Finnabair!

New Sparks Paint from Prima

This one was a lot of fun! I had it hidden in a drawer because it was starting to fall apart and have been meaning to fix it up, but hadn't gotten around to it yet.  When I saw the new Prima Sparks from Finnabair, I knew they were perfect for this one!  I also used the new Prima Waxes from Finnabair, too!

The Sparks paints are so shiny and just truly sparkle.  They set perfectly on both the natural elements of this owl and the fabulous Finnabair metal pieces!  I couldn't resist giving this one lots of bling and fun metal elements.  Of course, the eyelashes made from a metal flower that I cut in half are probably my favorite part!  

I added the Prima Wax to the body after painting it with the Prima Sparks.  It gave it lots of visual dimension and kept it from looking flat.

This side view shows the back of the owl's detail.  I was able to pick up a bit of the 'spark' but the photos never do this justice. You can also see more of the metal here, in addition to the flowers that I also altered with the Sparks!  

So, Finnabair and Prima have done it again!  More fabulous products that work for anything, even a broken down owl!

It's Love with Prima

Today on the Prima Blog it's All about LOVE!  I created these little canvases then tied them together with my favorite ribbons.  This idea could easily be done as separate canvases, too!  

 

I used some of the Prima Paper Clay to make this heart for the "O".  I just rolled out some paper clay with a rolling pin, stamped on it with a Prima Stamp and then cut it out in the shape of a heart. 

I painted the wood alphas with White Gesso, then colored them to match.  I used the same stamp to give them a bit of pattern.  The last thing was Prima WAX!  I can't get enough of this stuff!  All the gold accents on the canvas, wood and paper clay are done using the wax!

To embellish, I used Prima flowers, IOD Moulds and Trim. 

Head over to the Prima Blog to see a TON of ideas that are Love Filled!  There are more to come, too!
