Black acrylic paint
Gold metallic acrylic paint

Cheap tablecloth (from dollarstore)

Tools Needed:
Pencil
Glue Gun & Lots of glue
Paint brushes

1.   Take a pencil and sketch out a design of your choice.  Good first designs include a tree or a flower, just do a google search and find a pretty simple image to follow. Using glue gun follow design on the canvas.

2.  Once glue is cooled down, paint gesso over all the glue and let it dry.


3.  Once gesso is dry, paint gold metallic paint all over glue and canvas covering entire surface.  Let dry.


4.  Once dry, put a small amount of black acrylic paint into a small mixing dish and add water to thin.  Paint over canvas and dab with paper towel to remove excess paint as you go.

5. (Optional step) You can add additional metallic colors onto the raised images if desired, or you can add another layer of  thinned acrylic paint in an additional color if desired.

Hand carved rubberstamps - Diagonal circle collage

So at the Clubscrap retreat, we were introduced to carving our own rubberstamps out of erasers in one of the workshops we attended.  Well I hadn't played with my carving tool since I got home - but when I was at the Dollar Tree - I saw this big round eraser and a bunch of rectangular erasers and thought - why not give it a go...so I took that 'donut' eraser and cut/carved a bunch of graduating 'circles' out of it and then proceded to make a number of cards using the circles as sort of frames for the images.

Father's Day Card 2019

Here is the Father's day card I created this last year for my dad.  I think it turned out pretty snazzy.

I took various elements and attached them to the card front, like metal paperclips, cardboard letters, cardboard cutouts, buttons, etc.  I then covered the entire front with metal sticky tape and carefully embossed around the images with a bone folder.  I then painted the entire front with black ink and waited for it to dry.  I then took a sanding block and sanded off the raised images to show the silver once again.
