"Sweet Days" Canvas

Good morning! (Or whatever time it is...really) I have a project that I am really excited to share with you, and I also am seeking a little advice. I created a video tutorial on this project, start to finish. I spent hours editing, learning my video editing program (I am using Sony Vegas Movie Studio HD 11 - if that helps), etc. I then followed the correct steps (so I thought) to convert the file to a YouTube accepted file type and all that fun stuff, and I am unable to upload it to youtube?!
I seriously have tried everything...sigh..technology can be oh so frustrating!! I have googled it, tried everything I can, and I have zero luck. SO, if anyone is video savvy and has a suggestion, that would be fantastic!
For now, I will share my canvas. I created this using the "Sweet Days" March KOM from Flying Unicorn.


Nearly everything on this 8x10 canvas is from the kit and add ons, aside from the canvas itself, and the metal butterflies, which are Flying Unicorn Adornments

I used the large die cut butterfly from the kit (shown above) to do some masking on the background, then I embossed it with gold embossing powder and used it here.

I am a big big fan of the Kaisercraft Collectables, and am always sooo happy when these are included in our kits! I loved both of these quotes and thought they worked well together on this canvas..



 Lots and lots of layers and textures and misting, of course.

Anyway, I do hope to eventually share the video tutorial with you!!!
Have a wonderful day!!

Just seen at sb.com & had to come for closer look. It really is just stunning!! How you got the colours to be so precise I have no idea. Would love to see video. I can't personally help with that but I do have 2 names that may help. Not sure of mentioning here but feel free to email/contact me if you've had no joy yet. Hope that helps.

BAM!!! AMAZING WORK! Totally exciting- my eyes are traveling and taking in all the yummy color and texture. Darn I was hoping someone would answer you video question- I've been thinking about expanding in that direction but have ZERO idea how to start! This canvas is AMAZING Kelly- serious wow factor!

Wonderful canvas Kelly! I adore the strong colours and all the luscious dimension!! I did a video tutorial once and it killed me. Took me a week to work it all out and get it loaded. Why it needs to be so difficult I just don't know. It's all about the file type and somewhere I have it written down but am in my bed on my laptop right now & all that is locked up in my studio. The dimensions you select are also important because videos are like photos, for the web you need to convert them to a much smaller file type. I used a free program for this but alas can't remember the details offhand. If I come across them I will let you know.

Lost for words....incredible work Kelly. So many gorgeous layers but so well balanced and love the colors :)

catz said...

love, love this....gorgeous colors and design!

Katie Marie said...

Another stunning canvas Kelly! WOW WOW WOW on this one...love the colors. I haven't yet tried a video tutorial myself but have you tried using Vimeo? It's similar to you tube I think you can share it on your blog or email or fb it. I'm pretty sure they are right about converting it to a smaller file. My sis has used Vimeo before to send me videos she's done, so maybe google it and see what u find?! Good luck and can't wait to see!!!

Denise van Deventer said...
