Surprising Journey (Picture tutorial)

Hello friends! Hope you are having a fantastic day! Today, I am sharing with you a tutorial I made for eclectic Paperie, I used Twinkling H2O paints, but you can use any kind of paints you own.

Let's get started!

I started with a piece of Strathmore Mixed Media paper, cut the paper 9" x 9", then taped it to my mat with Blue Tape (painter's tape), the sides are 1" and the top/bottom are .75"

 

 Added a couple of coats of White Acrylic Gesso

 

 

 Then I started painted this piece with Luminarte Twinkling H2O African Jade, just one coat is enough.

 

 

 

 Then I added paint strokes of Luminarte Twinkling H2O Rich Cobalt

 

 

 More strokes of Luminarte Twinkling H2O Hot Cinnamon

 

 

 and some of Twinkling H2O Ginger Peach

 

 

and finally some of Twinkling H2O Olive Vine. 

 

 

I added some Embossing paste using the Mini Chicken Wire reversed Stencil, but honestly I didn't like it, I removed it immediately with a baby wipe, but it left a really cool impression, ha! The things you discover from your mistakes. Then added few dabs using Snow Cap Acrylic Paint Dabber

 

 

 

 I used an old stencil (no longer available, sorry) and White embossing paste in random places.

 

 

Then added White Gelatos in the center and a little bit around the edges,

 

 

Added Black Gelatos around the edges of the whole piece.

 

 

 

Then I took my Remant Rubs - Word (Tim Holtz), cut few pieces and added them on my piece.

 

 

Looks like this :) 

 

 

 

And this is the final piece, without the blue tape, the picture doesn't show how shimmery this piece is, it's really beautiful!! I think I will put it in a picture frame to decorate my craft room :)

  

I hope you like it!!
Have a wonderful day.

Surprising Journey (Picture tutorial)

XOXOXO Handbag

Hello friends!! Hope you are having a great day, whether you celebrate Valentine's Day or not, hope your day is a good one.

Today, I want to show you a quick and simple way to embellish your Z Becky Brown handbag. I used Ziva Sundance Kraft inserts, cut out Patterned Paper panels from Craft n Craftin' "Sweet Love", traced the panel onto the patterned paper then cut .5" from each side, cut a strip of the same paper but opposite side XOXOXO, matted them with a bigger piece of Kraft Cardstock, added Adhesive White lace. I painted wings and a heart with Metallic paint and added them to the center. I die-cut cute double hearts and arrows and added them to the sides. The final touch was adding lines around the edges with a White pen.

 

 

Hope you like it!

Have a fantastic day.

February Release Blog Hop Day 2: Delightfully Delicate Background

Welcome to DAY 2 of our February Release Blog Hops!
featuring "Delightfully Delicate Background"
 

Today the DT is thrilled to share the new  Delightfully Delicate Background with you.  This gorgeous image is a seamless background stamp that can be used to make as large a background as you wish!  You'll love the dainty touch it adds to your projects!

• Image measures approximately 3.75" x 3.75
• Stamp is $11

These are the projects I have for you.

This is a super CAS card!! I started with an Ivory card base, stamp the background in ever corner in Coastal Cabana Ink. Stamp the sentiment in  Delicata Golden Ink from Majestic Monarchs Set, let it dry. Then I stamped the background on a piece of white cardstock in Versamark Watermark ink, added white embossing powder and heat set, then sponged the panel with same Coastal Cabana Ink, after that I die-cut butterflies from Majestic Monarchs Dies, ink all edges with Vintage Photo Distress ink and, mounted the butterflies, added a bottom and twine. To make my card more fun I added a couple of strips of coordinated color Washi Tape. Fun!!
The butterflies are located over the edge, inspired by the CASual Friday Challenge: Over the edge and Washi Tape inspired by the new challenge at The Ribbon Carousel

 

 

 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

 

 

I really love how this card turned out. I stamped the background on White cardstock in Clear embossing powder, then heat set. I applied several layers of pinks Distress Inks, then die-cut the piece with a label die. I adhered it to an ivory piece (4" square), scored the edge sides, then added a couple of laces and added stitches, added twine and paper flowers. I stamped the sentiment on an ivory piece in Coffee Archival Ink, then added the panel to a textured Tan Leather cardstock (4.75" square card). My card got inspired by The Paper Poppy February Sketch
