The Best Brush Cleaner Ever!

Good morning everyone, Kim here today with my next DT post for ScraPerfect~

I wanted to share an amazing tip with you today featuring The Best Cleaner Ever! 

If you are like me, and well, make a mess while Art-ing, then you are going to love this tip. I use lots of paint brushes for lots of different things and sometimes, well, ok, most of the time, I forget to clean them. The Best Cleaner Ever has become my new best friend!

I take my messy brushes and add a few squirts of The Best Cleaner Ever to them,wait a few moments, rinse, and Voila! My brushes are magically cleaned back to their original state.   For stubborn brushes, I squirt some of the cleaner on and leave it over night, and then rinse in the morning.

The bristles are soft and ready for my next project!

The Best Cleaner Ever has become my new best friend in my craft room!

ATC Fun ScraPerfect

 

Good morning everyone! Kim F., here today with my next DT project for ScraPerfect.

This time I have created some simple and easy ATC's for a friend.

 

 

 

I am using some wooden ATC's from Fernli Designs and I got out some embellishments and laid them out to get an idea of what I wanted to do.

 

I painted both ATC's, one pink and one blue. I cut out some coordinating paper and used the Best Glue Ever as it works so great to stick paper down to wood.

 

You can see how little glue you actually need to use to make the paper adhere to the wood.

 

Here is where I am so far with the project.  Now on to some embossing!

 

I used some Stampendous embossing tinsel in pink for the wooden rings, also from Fernli  Designs, and metal flower. It really gave them some fun sparkle!

 

Now it is time to get out the Embellie Gellie! I used it to place a lovely little holographic bling piece in the center of the metal piece.

 

I also used the Embellie Gellie to adhere the bling to the middle of the heart ATC and to the top as well.

 

The next step was using some ScraPerfect Transfer foils. I used some more of the Best Glue Ever in random spots all over the pink ATC. I rubbed some of pink foils on top to give some texture and dimension.

 

 

I added some word sentiments to them for a final touch and here is the finished ATC's!

 

ScraPerfect really made these ATC's fun and easy and I  hope you will give these simple projects a try.

Thanks for stopping by today!

Mixed Media Canvas for Fernli Designs Facebook Challenge!

 

Hello friends, and happy Wednesday! Today I am sharing my project for the Challenge over at the Fernli Designs Facebook group. This month the challenge is called "All about Words". You can find the challenge by clicking this link: 

Fernli Designs All About Words Challenge

 

 

I have a quick and easy tutorial for you this time, so lets get started!

I really wanted to use up some of my lace remnants I had in my stash and this was the perfect project for just that thing.

 

 

I started off my laying my laces in a vertical fashion, starting on the right and working my way to the left. I laid each piece of lace on top of the last one, being sure to show some of the pattern of each lace. I left some of the laces long and hanging over the edge of the canvas to give a vintage feel to the piece. Once that was done, I decided it needed some colour. I got out some of my sprays and used three different tones, 2 Distress Sprays and 1 Prima Bloom Spray in soft teal.

 



I glued the coloured pieces of lace down on the canvas. Making sure once again to have some lay over the edge of the canvas to give a shabby look.

 



Next, I used some of the Alpha's from Fernli Designs and gave them a coat of the Prima white crackle. I then set them aside to dry.

 

Next, I worked on some of the gorgeous wings from Fernli Designs and gave them a coat of holographic embossing powder. This gave them a great sparkle!

 

 

 I found a picture of a vintage girl from the internet, and fussy cut her out, and then added some dimensional tape to her back so she would be popped up off the canvas.

 



 

 

Now it was time to glue down the pieces. I started off with the wings, making sure to measure them so they were centred on the canvas and would fit right behind my vintage girl.

 

 

I added my girl with some diamond stickles to her dress and bow. I added a finishing touch to her with a little wooden heart from Fernil, which I painted with the Soft Teal Bloom spray to match the laces.

 

 

 

I then glued down the letters, which spell out "home",  as part of the Fernli challenge is to have words on your project, so these worked out great!

 

Here are a few close up shots for you to see. I love the texture the lace gives!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 .....And here is my finished little lady, isn't she cute?
