Well, Andrea wanted to make a pair, but wanted to incorporate the eBrush into the project. So, here's her version!
You'll need:
eBrush and SP adapter Sharpies® Masking Tape Rubbing Alcohol White cotton canvas slip-ons
Be sure to protect your surfaces and work in a well ventilated area. Between the Sharpies and Alcohol it gets pretty potent. Adult supervision is necessary.
Mask off the soles if you don't want any color on them. Mask your design if desired.
Seat the marker to get the best spray.
Using the eBrush, spray the colors on the shoes as desired. If you don't have an eBrush, just add color from the markers to the shoes.
Remove the masking from the shoes, but leave the masking tape on the soles to protect the plastic on the soles.
Drizzle the alcohol over the colors on the shoes (if you have the siphon adapter, you could spray some alcohol using the cup adapter and the siphon).
Set aside to dry. It usually doesn't take too long. Remove any remaining masking tape. You can heat set using a heat gun or putting your shoes in the dryer with an old towel. Some of the color may fade.
Wear proudly!
Here's a quick video too.
Thanks for stopping by today! Feel free to browse through the blog archives here and here for additional ideas using the eBrush!
A stencil from my stencil library is the basis for this quick and easy eBrushed home decor project featuring the color of Mustard Yellow this month. I think the deep blue sets off the yellow beautifully.
Prep your canvase if needed. I taped mine together, so they wouldn't slip apart during the "coloring" process.
This allows you to bridge the two canvas pieces with your stencil. Spray the back of the stencil with the repositionable spray. Apply the stencil to the canvas. Make sure that it is secure. Mask any space that you don't want sprayed.
Using the eBrush and the blue marker, spray the color across the stencil.
Repeat as desired. Be sure to mask any areas you do not want colored. When you have completed coloring with the blue, replace the stencil with the largest image and spray using the "yellow."
These are the colors I used:
Sign your completed work. Frame if desired. I'm using another canvas to mount these two smaller canvases on and leaving the larger canvas unframed. It's looking great in my entryway. Hope you have some creative time built into your week! Enjoy nourishing your soul!

I've been wanting to make these for a very long time -- and even bought the Fall Pumpkin Blocks from MyScrapChick last Fall when it came out. I LOVE that the files go together as a dimensional project so easily! Let's get started.
You'll need: 12 x 12 white cardstock (Fun Stampers Journey) Fall Pumpkin Blocks (MyScrapChick) Butterfly and flowers (unknown source) Heart (eShape store) Sizzix eclips and eCal software eBrush Tombow Markers Scor-tape Wood Grain embossing folder Cut-n-Boss Twine Glue Dots mini brads Canvas Scissors Mod Podge
Open the cutting files for the blocks. I chose to use all four blocks. Cut at the import size for the Fall Blocks and resize the flowers and butterflies as desired. The wings on the butterflies are pretty fragile so be very careful when you take them off the mat. Cut 2 of each front. One of each of the front cuts will be embossed.
Using the Wood grain folder and the cut-n-boss, emboss a front for each of the blocks.
Since all my paper started out as white, now's the time to add some color! Using the eBrush, TB marker adapter and Tombow markers, color as desired. I used a light gray for the embossed block fronts to add a little more texture. It doesn't show well in the photos, but it is there. Using shades of yellow and orange and dark gray, color the flowers and butterflies. With a pink marker, color the hearts.
Using your favorite curling tool, shape the flower petals and cup slightly. Use a brad to secure layers. I colored a small center and placed that onto the brad for a couple of flower centers. Glue the butterfly top to the bottom cut of the butterfly. Shape for a little more dimension. I added a little bit of sparkle to the edges using the clear sparkle pen from Crafters Companion.
Cut the canvas into a bunny ear shape as shown in the photo below. Protect the surface of your table with some wax paper and brush the canvas with some ModPodge to stiffen. Let dry overnight.
But the blocks together. Use the un-embossed front. Use some scraps of paper and glue to the inside top flap for a little more bulk to support the ears. Cut a slit or punch a hole in the flap. Apply the embossed front to the block. Add some whiskers using some twine. With some pop up dots, add the heart cut. Fold the canvas "ears" in half and secure in the flap.
Depending on the weight of your cardstock, you may need to add a little weight to the base. I used about 1/3 cup of rice* in a small plastic bag . Secure the top flap in place with scor-tape.
TIP: If you wanted to use these as gift bags, you certainly could. Just use removable glue dots on the top or bottom flap for ease in opening.
Secure your embellishments using glue, pop-dots and/or glue dots as desired and display!
Enjoy some time in your happy place this week! Hoping to see you again next week!
