Miss Fisher's Room Canvas

I am still in love with Julie Nutting's rubber stamp paper dolls. One looks a lot like the character on Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, a TV show I enjoy very much. The paper doll is named Ruby and with a hair style change she turns into Miss Fisher.

Miss Fisher was colored using Copic Markers and dress in paper, lace and small flower. She is posing (adhered with soft pads) at her armoire made from a tag, a product of Julie Nutting for Prima. The tag was altered making it 3D.

The background card stock was applied with Mod Podge to the canvas. The bottom half has Mod Podge as a sealer over the top I could not apply Mod Podge to the top half of the background as it has a textured velvet print, which would have been ruined. It seems to be holding very nicely without the sealer. Washi tape was used at the top and middle of the canvas. The two background pictures are from a Graphic 45 collection. Assorted small pieces from my stash embellish the canvas and small flowers adorn one side giving a topiary look.

The canvas was great fun and I'm already planning the next one!

Come back and check my blog for another project!

https://www.etsy.com/uk/shop/JuliaSpiri?ref=l2-shopheader-name
A new challenge has begun at World Wide Open sponsored as always by the wonderful artist Julia Spiri. I chose to use Emily-Little Teacher for my Design Team inspirational card.

I used Copic Markers to color the image and cut her out. I used my Cuddlebug Machine for the Sizzix (#660024) side step card die and the Sizzix (#654484) stuffed animal set dies. I used Prismacolor Pencils to touch up the color on both die cut animals. Happy Birthday was cut using the same Sizzix die as the step card and then I backed it with green card stock. The brick wall is card stock from my stash.

I loved working on this card and hope it has inspired you to share your work in our challenge at World Wide Open.

Happy Days Canvas Art

I'm still working on canvas art based on Julie Nuttings book, "Collage Couture Studio Paper Dolls."

Here you see Adam (stamped paper doll, colored skin tone using Copic Markers) dressed in jeans and shirt and Marisol (stamped paper doll, colored skin tone using Copic Markers ) wearing her new dress cut from new Julie Nutting metal dies "Haute Couture2." They're on a date at the local malt shop. The jukebox was printed from a Crafts U Print card and much of the details were cut using my Cricut cutting machine.

I hope you like my latest canvas, I planned it for a friend who turns 85 this month.
