[ChickieShannon]

Are you ready? Scrapfreak's second free online class will start June 1st! This month we will be doing an altered canvas with a cool masking tape transfer technique.

Class Description
This month's Project Freak class will feature a masking tape transfer technique on an altered canvas. You will choose the size of your canvas, the theme, and your supplies, and then use the transfer technique on your canvas. Transfer techniques are fun and the possibilities are endless. You can transfer photos, papers, images, words, etc. It gives a very cool look to your project.

Featured Product
For the transfer technique, I used GOLDEN Gel Medium (it will be available in the store soon). I used the Grafton line from Scenic Route (http://www.scrapfreak.com/store/manufacturers.php?manufacturerid=11) for my canvas. I thought it was great for a masculine look. For my embellishments, I used some Cinnamon Stickles (http://www.scrapfreak.com/store/product.php?productid=358&cat=24&page=1) and Scenic Route Chipboard Star Shapes (http://www.scrapfreak.com/store/product.php?productid=350&cat=12&page=4).

Overview of the Class

Week 1: Brainstorm!
What kind of canvas do you want to make? Who is it for... yourself or a gift? Where will it be displayed?

Week 2: Get Your Supplies Ready!
Choose what size canvas you want and get your papers and embellies.

Week 3: Masking Tape Transfer Technique!
I will teach a very cool masking tape transfer technique that you can use on your canvas and future projects.

Week 4: Finish It Up!
The last week is to finish up your canvas and post it in your gallery so we can see your awesome work!

I can't wait for this class to get started and see everyone's take on the class. Interested? Go sign up here (http://www.scrapfreak.com/forum/showthread.php?p=439499#post439499)!

[Tracy]

[Tamara]

Is this a place I can ask questions chickie? Cuz I have one. :giggle:

[Tamara]

[mlr42002]

[ChickieShannon]

Sure? Ask away. :)

[Tracy]

that looks awesome but i think i am scared

Don't be ascared. They are so much fun. :D

[Amy]

super awesome! can't wait!

[Tamara]

for the transfer technique. Is there something I might be able to find here for it? I won't be able to get it from Monica since I am overseas and without an APO now.

[Tamara]

oh and I think I failed to mention that I already have 4 canvas sitting here waiting for me to do something with them. :banana:

[ChickieShannon]

that looks awesome but i think i am scared

Don't be scared PLEASE!!! We'll break this down and I provide step-by-step instructions with photos. I don't want anyone to not participate because they're scared. You can do a small size canvas to start if that makes you feel better. :)

[Tamara]

oh small to start sounds like a fabulous idea. :yes:

[april]

Oh that looks FANTABULOUS!

[mlr42002]

ok if i don't like it i won't show it

[Tamara]

ok if i don't like it i won't show it

Nope you show it so we can tell you how fabulous it is and then give you ideas on how to make it even better. :yes:

[ChickieShannon]

for the transfer technique. Is there something I might be able to find here for it? I won't be able to get it from Monica since I am overseas and without an APO now.
Hmmm, dunno. It's called GOLDEN Gel Medium: Regular Gel (Matte). When is the WI crop again? Could you get it when you're in the states?

[lizardlize]

very cool. I love it.

[Tamara]

Hmmm, dunno. It's called GOLDEN Gel Medium: Regular Gel (Matte). When is the WI crop again? Could you get it when you're in the states?

Crop is the 27 - 29. So the canvas wouldn't get finished in June. But if it is my last option, then that will have to do. I'm gonna look it up on line. What does it do?

[Shannon]

Love it!!! :D

[ChickieShannon]

It transfers the image of whatever you put it on onto the canvas.

[Tamara]

I googled it. Doesn't look too promising for me. So I might have to see what I can do about it while in the states. :yes:

Sounds very exciting to play with. :giggle:

[Yvette]

Awesome!!! Love your canvas, Chicke!!!!

[DangerMouse]

that looks awesome but i think i am scared

[mlr42002]

I have two questions.

1) i am going to use the two pictures I mentioned. My avi picture and a picture of her and dh. what size pictures should I use?
b) what size canvas should i get

[ceekay]

I've been wanting to do another altered canvas. now to decide on theme, pictures and canvas size.

[Jess]

[jessicabree]

I have two questions.

I believe you can do any size canvas and pics YOU WANT. Shannon made this really flexible :D

I have some 12x12's a bought a long time ago, so I am going to use them.

[jessicabree]

Oh, and Chickie, I am going to maybe use digi paper! What do you think?

:happydance: I'm getting really excited that I get to be the student this time! Can I be teacher's pet? I promise to oooo and aaaah a lot! :giggle:

[jessicabree]

Wait does that make you Miss Chickie :eek:

[Amy]

Wait does that make you Miss Chickie :eek:

I believe she prefers "your royal highness" over miss. :giggle:

[mlamarredesigns]

I luv the gel medium transfer better than using the packing tape... This look great :)

[jessicabree]

I believe she prefers "your royal highness" over miss. :giggle:

:laugh2:

Oh, being teacher's pet for Chickie may be too much work!

[Amy]

:giggle:

[Tamara]

I might just do this project while at the crop in Wisconsin. I have to decide today if there will be room in my suitcase afterwards. :yes:

[mlr42002]

I have some 12x12's a bought a long time ago, so I am going to use them.

I know I can do what size I want but what SHOULD I do?

Ummm... give me details. Where will you be putting it? How much time do you want to spend?

[ChickieShannon]

I can't tell what you what you SHOULD do. It's seriously up to you and there's no right or wrong. If it helps, look at sketches like PageMaps. Lay out your pics and supplies and think of your canvas like a scrapbook page. Does that help? :)

[mlr42002]

i wil think of something

[MrsCarty]

I'm so scared of this...but my parents 40th anniversary is approaching and I'm thinking I could make a super cute canvas of them as a gift!

[mlr42002]

that would be cool jamie

I am not the one that asked, but it helped me A LOT! :thankyou:

[ceekay]

I talked to my granddaughter the other day. She has some photos from prom and I suggested we do this as a project together!

Can't wait to see what we come up with!

[Yvette]
