1. Wrap twine into a circle and tie the ends off. 
2. Form a heart (or whatever shape... the twine is relatively stiff so it mostly kept it's shape
3. paint on a generous amount of matte medium. 
4. re-form the desired shape and allow to dry. (i used a couple of cups and a pincher tool to keep my twine from moving)
5. once dry, pick away any glue-boogers! 

Pro tip:

Hi there, it's me again with some mixed media fun! Halloween is a great reason to get a little messy with your projects, and it's fun to let loose and experiment a little. I have been vowing for the past couple of weeks to make my craft table a paint zone (instead of a clean card zone) and this was a start!

1. using masking tape, mask off different sized sections and sponge ink (oxide ink) onto background. 
2. grab as many border stamps as possible.
3. stamp border stamps on top of inked lines in various colours 
4. sprinkle water to activate "oxidization"
5. stamp sentiment in black and add die cut

Nihao! Today I'm here with some custom-cut vinyl pieces for cards. Did you know it was recently Chinese New Year? Until I moved to China I had no idea how big of a deal it is... If possible, it's bigger than Christmas! The country (yes, of 1.5 billion people) literally shuts down so people can go spend time with their families and for two weeks you will be hard-pressed to find a corner store open for business... So it was no surprise to me to get a couple of requests for CNY (Chinese new year) themed cards.

Hi there! Today I am sharing a unique holiday layout! Unique because we spent the holidays in warm and sunny Australia!! We spent some time with relatives so we got a little "Christmas spirit," but otherwise we spent time in our tank tops in the hot, sunny weather!
