Happy Easter weekend everyone! Got all your eggs ready to dye, chocolates ready to share (or not), Peeps waiting to be eaten?
Ready to hop along with some wonderfully creative folks?
I normally don't do alot of Easter decorating or crafting so I challenged myself to join in the fun! Huge thanks to Cathy Frailey for putting these hops together.
Here is my pretty little Easter Tag.
Here are a few close ups of my tag!
This was a technique I saw Julia, owner of The Paper and Ink Boutique do on her Facebook live on Thursday. Stamping with Distress Oxide spray, love it!
Easter Parade Embossing Powder just sprinkled into transparent texture paste.
I outlined the heart on the egg with Stickles, also highlighted some of the stamped eggs with the pretty glitter too.
Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop!! so many creative peeps just getting together and sharing their projects. Here's the list!
Today I'm sharing my! It started with a challenge from Rita Barakat on New Year's Eve and then I kind of wanted more.
I'm sure I'm not the only that struggles with being/staying positive somedays. I have great days, but some days are hard. So what started as a challenge, turned into little embossed/foiled/stenciled/papered labeled wooden tags that now hang in my kitchen, where I can see them everyday!
There are no step outs on these little lovelies, just the finished projects and some close ups of the gorgeous texture. And I used some of my favorite companies to create these.
It all started with this embossing challenge in the Rise and Shine with Rita Barakat facebook group.
Look at this lovely texture!
Painted with Finnabair paints, Ranger texture paste through Rebekah Meier's stencil from TCW.
It was an embossing night for sure and I pulled out some of my faves from the Seth Apter Baked Texture line from Emerald Creek.
Yumm!! Patina Oxide and Chunky Rust!
Little close up of my resin roses and baubles, dyed with alcohol ink.
Yes, I am addicted to Patina Oxide embossing powder!
And to be able to hang them all, I used some wire from my stash and Eileen Hull's Twist and Style Tool.
Thanks for stopping by today and have a great day!
It's Valentine's Day! That means it's time for a huge blog hop with some amazingly talented creatives!
For my project, I focused on best friends! We all have them, we love them and they need to be reminded too! Especially that bestie that knows way more than any person should, has seen all the crazy, has stood beside you and held you up when you couldn't stand on your own. I've been very fortunate to have a few of these people in my world. From over 40 years ago to 27 years ago to family that you've known since the day you were born!
Happy Valentine's Day to all the amazing friends I have!
Time for the project now!
I started with a great little canvas that I picked up at my LSS. I didn't do any gesso on this one and just layered on my Distress Oxides.
Some pretty layers and splotches using Barn Door, Aged Mahogany and Fired Brick.
Once the inks were dry I used Rebekah Meier's Skylight stencil, Ranger Embossing Dauber and the gorgeous Ancient Amber Embossing Powder from Seth Apter and Emerald Creek!
I then stenciled on a layer with Spiced Marmalade. Once that was done, I mixed some Spiced Marmalade with TH Crazing Medium and stenciled on that with RM Stencil Distressed Lace.
Here's a close up of the crazing medium mixed with the Spiced Marmalade.
I dressed up my Paper Dolls with a little foil and wings that I tinted with some Finnabair wax.
This was such a fun non traditional Valentine to create! Thanks to Cathy Frailey from It's Oddly Appealing for bringing us all together for this hop!!
Make sure to hop on over to all the other amazing creatives that are taking part!! Enjoy your Valentine's Hop!
Thanks for playing along and have a great day!
Yes...it's true! I love iridescent paints! I love these beauties from Ann Butler Designs and Earth Safe Finishes!
Today's project is a pretty little passport journal. Even though we have had a minimal winter here, I am ready for spring and all colours that say spring! Lilac and lime, yum!
I started with the Eileen Hull Passport Journal and Ann Butler Designs Iridescent Lilac. I only used one coat, but if you want a deeper colour you could use two coats.
Once the Lilac paint was dry, I very lightly sponged on the Iridescent Silver for a bit more interest.
I used Ann's Stencil Girl stencil L643, it is one of my faves. I love that it has a matching corner stencil on the same sheet. Added a bit of Ranger Gel Medium for this step.
After the medium dried I sponged over it with Ann Butler Crafter's Ink in Limelight. I liked the look but I wanted the green to be a bit more prominent. So I mixed the Crafter's Ink with Ranger Texture and put it through the stencil again!
Love how the Crafter's Ink and texture paste turned out!
The top design is in Archival Black using the matching corner stencil. I made three little inserts for the journal with watercolour paper.
Make sure to follow Ann Butler Designs to see the fabulous creations from the design team created from all of Ann's amazing lines!
Have a great week everyone and thank you for stopping by!
Today's project isn't a Christmas one, I think it's the start to my plan to art journal every week! Today's page was created featuring Ann Butler Designs Products!
I started with a watercolour paper page in my Dina Wakely journal. I love using Ann's Crafter's Ink as a watercolour medium. The technique I used for this background is called the Kiss technique that I learned from watching Vicki Boutin, the video for the basic technique is HERE my take used inks instead of crayons.
My colours, journal and transparency all ready to go.
Smooshed my ink pad on a piece of transparency, then spritzed it with water. I did my colours one at a time, but you can do them all at once.
This is the finished background. I gave it a quick shot with my heat tool to make sure it was dry.
For my border I used Canyon and Desert Sand with Ann Butler Design Stamps by Unity. Love that these stamps have no edge, so you can stamp your image right against the previous image!
As an extra border I used an edge stamp and Desert Sand again.
While the page was drying, I painted my Eileen Hull Trinket Box Die pieces with Sheer Bronze Iridescent by Earth Safe Finishes. It dries so quickly that I was able to move to my next step right away.
I wanted a bit more texture so I stamped one of my images in Desert Sand all over the frame and oval piece.
Under the frame are words from Dina Wakely's Collage Words, and I used TH Distress Collage Medium in Vintage to glue them down.
And lastly I added some TH Small Talk stickers and brushed over them with a touch of Vintage medium.
