VIDEO TUTORIAL: Vintage Dress Canvas Using Maja Design Papers & Dusty Attic Chipboard!

I get some really lovely comments and emails from you sweet ladies out there and one of the things I hear is that you'd like to be a fly on the wall while I'm creating a project!  Well, you'd have to be a very patient fly because my projects can sometimes take a while! lol!  But I also know that I really like watching these 'watch the process' videos, so I thought I would create another canvas, this time using the gorgeous Maja Design collection called 'Ska Vi ta en Fika' and some Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.  I just love this paper collection, here is a little peek at it if you haven't seen it yet...
So without further ado, here is my video tutorial for my Vintage Dress Canvas!  Grab yourself a cup of coffee, sit back and enjoy!

 
I hope you enjoyed my tutorial!  Here are a few close-ups in closer detail. 
   
 
I'd love to hear what you all thought of the video and also what sorts of tutorials you would like to see in the future on my blog.....I love getting your feedback!  Would you like to get your hands on some gorgeous new Maja Design collection papers?  Be sure to stop by my blog on March 1st, I've got an exciting announcement for you all!!

  17. Gabrielle, how would I ever learn if I didn't have people like you to teach and inspire me?!! :) lol
    Honestly though, aside from taking classes (that this workin' girl doesn't have time for...) I learn from tutorials and demo's like this~
    Demo's give me the info & help I need. (and ideas! yes~)
    Seeing the finished product -it is BEAUTIFUL; but intimidating:j Watching you step by step shows me how I can create something of my own! Thank you for taking the time to educate and INSPIRE!
    (I sooo want some of these beautiful pprs :) ~Karen

  69. Gabrielle…Thank you so much for this instructional video. I learned so much.

    Many don't realize the time, skill and artistic eye required to produce such art inspiring work. The layers upon layers create complexity and dimension that make this art piece stand out. You have honed your craft with details that make this so visually appealing …..I look at it and go, "ahhhh". Thanks for sharing your art with the rest of us.

    I love all your works. I absolutely fell in love. I remembered when I was young when I'd really make time and efforts to cover and making designs for my diary and scrapbook. Now, you inspired me again to continue what Id love before Thank you for sharing this. I wish to make one, one of your works and will absolutely read all your works when I have time. And will follow your blog.
