January Live - Layout Tutorial Recap

1

Thank you to everyone who came to the live class on Monday night.  I had a lot of problems getting the show to air live on YouTube so we moved over the Ustream. If you guys had trouble finding us, I'm so sorry. I'm just going to keep at it until I figure it out!  Good news! We did get it recorded. 

We kept it light and discussed the CHA releases.  I based this month's class on a sketch challenge by Blue Fern Studios. Details can be found on their blog!

 I used the Love Story Collection and their Doodle Flowers Chipboard Coordinates for my layout.  

Here is the sketch...

Here is what my finished layout looked like: 

I used a photo that I had taken during the Holidays of my Mom & I for the layout. In the class I shared with you how to use the Pentel Fude Brush Pen to draw a trendy title.  Here is the pen that I used.  The ink from this pen takes a LONG time to cure.  Sometimes a day or so depending on the paper.  It is also a bit tricky to use.  If you purchase the pen, don't forget to remove the washer that separates the ink well from the brush tip (or it will never work - ::WINK WINK::) 

I got mine at Amazon

Here is a close up of how the title turned out.   

 

I also shared with you how I created & painted these cute little clay birds.  Aren't they adorable?  They are the perfect embellishment to compliment this paper collection.  So affordable and easy to create.  I love including small clay pieces like this in my embellishment clusters. 

Here is the video of the class. 

Happy New Year everyone. Thank you again to everyone who came  to the show live. 

Tonya

Ustream Baggage Mixed Media Canvas by Tonya Gibbs

4

We had a huge crowd last night at the show.  Thanks to everyone for their support!

Garment District Paper Collection can be purchased from http://www.FlamingoScraps.com

We created a mixed media canvas based on my Pastor's sermon last week regarding "releasing your baggage".   The just of the sermon was that you can't carry around harbored feelings, you have to let it go or it will bog you down.  Our Pastor used a suit case to illustrate his point.  I was so inspired in this message, that I immediately began thinking about this canvas.  

 

For the doll I used the following Copic colors for her Hair and Skin. 

Hair: E37, E55, E30
Face:  E50, E11, E01, R20
Dress: BV23 , Colorless blender.

 

I wrote the scriptures that he used in the sermon onto the Tim Holtz Valise die to remind me that I've given my baggage to God and I can't take it back.  Here are the verses:

 

Matthew 11:28

Proverbs 13:12

Jeremiah 6:14

Hebrews 12:1

James 5:16

Romans 12:2

Romans 12:3

Romans 6:23

Revelations 1:18

Ephesians 4:26 -27

1 John 1:8

2 Corinthians 10: 3-4

1 Peter 5:7

 

 

 

I used an old hymnal to die cut the wings to symbolize the flight of my baggage.  The title of the Hymn was "Look to Jesus"  and I also included it at the bottom.  

 

 Here is the Ustream archive of  me making the canvas.
