Mixed Media Tag White Rose Crafts DT

Good morning friends, Kim here with my next DT project for White Rose Crafts. This time

I have created a large 10 inch chipboard tag, using lots of products from the WRC Store.

I covered the chipboard tag with some vintage music paper and some scrapbooking paper from my stash. I then used a Couture Creations stencil from the WRC store. I used some sand texture paste to give it lots of texture.  I also sprayed some of my Lindy's sprays in the background for some colour.

I embossed the clock chipboard piece next with Ranger Rose Gold embossing powder and the Gun Metal embossing powder to give the gears and the clock a two toned metallic look.

As I cut up the clock chipboard piece, I used the gears from that piece and layered tem on top of the Square mini frames, which I embossed with the same Rose Gold embossing powder I used on the clock.

I fussy cut out some of the flowers and dragonfly from the Graphic 45 Flutter paper to layer in between the chipboard. I also added a Tim Holtz Pen Nib to the dragonfly body for some fun.

The Believe Philosophy tag from Tim Holtz was added to the corner of the frame with more of the chipboard gears. 

The finishing touch was some of the Pink & White Begonias flowers from the WRC Store, and some champagne glitter glass, and mica flakes for some sparkle.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today and have found some inspiration here!

Art Journal Cover Featuring Stencils by Joggles DT Project

 

Hello Joggles fans! I am so very excited to share with you my next design team project for Joggles! This time I have altered the cover of my art journal and used one of my favorite stencils from Joggles.

 

 

Here is a list of products you will need for this project.

 

 

 

Joggles Products Used

Mod Podge Matte

Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap - Melange

Joggles Stencil - Secret Garden

StazON Ink Pad Jet Black

Distress Spray Stain - Cracked Pistachio

Distress Spray Stain - Evergreen Bough

Distress Spray Stain - Rusty Hinge

 

 

Other Items Used

Art Script Stamp

Resin Frame & Key from My Stash

Prima Resin Pieces

Petaloo Flowers

Turquoise Butterfly, Chipboard Number, Copper & Teal Micro Beads From my Stash

White Thread

Martha Stewart Paint - Beach Glass

 

To start off your journal cover, I gave it a coat of gesso. Once that was dry I gave it a coat of aqua coloured acrylic paint. I also gave my embellishments a similar treatment and set them aside to dry.

 

 

 

Next it was time to start the layering process. I took some of the Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap and ripped pieces up and laid it down on the top of the journal, I used Mod Podge to adhere it down. Then using the Secret Garden Stencil and some texture paste I laid the stencil down and kept rotating it to give a different look to the pattern all around the journal. I love the effect it gave. Texture paste is such a great way to add dimension to your projects.

 

 

Now it was time to get out the Distress Spray Stains, and again, you can use what ever colours you like, Joggles has such a great range of them in their store, you will be spoiled for choice! 

I let the colours run down the front of the journal, letting the texture paste help to gather the colour.

 

 

I started off with the lightest colour of the sprays, working my way up to the rust coloured spray. I also took the lid off the sprays and splattered some of the colour on the book to give a distressed and grunge type of feel.

 

 

After the sprays had dried, it was time to add embellishments and some micro beads for further texture. I laid out my embellishments in a way I liked then used hot glue to adhere them to the cover.

 

 

I got out the Mod Podge once again and a tiny paint brush to add the micro beads in coordinating colours. I stamped the word "art" with black StazOn, on some paper and adhered it to the frame. I then added some white thread under the resin frame for some fun and whimsy, and also added my chipboard number plate and metals as well to finish this part of the journal off.

 

 

I hope you have enjoyed my project today, I am pretty happy with the outcome. Now it can be ready for my next art journal page inspiration!

Merry Xmas with Rebecca Baer!

Good morning friends, its Tuesday and that means another fun share using my amazing stencils from Rebecca Baer!

I am deep in Christmas card making and decided to do something a little bit different this time, by using a non-Christmas stencil to make a whimsical holiday themed card.  I think its good to look at our stencils in many different ways and see  how we can adapt them to different ways, or in this case a season. So lets get started!

 

I am using the Moroccan Tile & Vine stencil for this card, along with the Artiste Stenciler Brush which works so well for transferring ink to the stencil.  I used three different colours of Distress Ink, Iced Spruce, Salty Ocean and Evergreen Bough.

I started of with the darker colour, Salty Ocean and gently used the Stenciler Brush in circular motions. Then I went to the Evergreen Bough blending it into the first colour, then finally the last and lightest colour, the Iced Spruce. Again, making sure that I blended it all together well. You can see I got a lovely crisp image.

 I took the background and cut it down to 4 1/8 x 5 inches to fit my card and I also die cut some hills, adding a touch of the Iced Spruce to the edges for dimension. I taped them down and then stamped some images out and coloured them, then fussy cut them out....Yes, I cut out those teeny tiny trees!

Once I coloured and cut out the images it was time to put the card together. I popped up the sentiment and the bear and used some multi matte medium to glue down the houses and the trees.

Lastly, I added some white dots to mimic snow and some bling, sequins and some red twine to pick up on the red in the sentiment, and there you have it. A Christmas card using a non traditional image. So take another look at your stencils and see what you can come up with for this holiday season.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today, remember to check out all the fun items in Rebecca's Store and also the DT blog as well.

Mixed Media Canvas for RebeccaBaer.com

Hello friends and happy Tuesday! Today I would like to share my mixed media canvas I created with some gorgeous Rebecca Baer Stencils.

I was in the mood for some soft pastel colours and with this canvas just kind of went with the flow and feeling of the stencils.  I started off with the Large Flight of Fancy Stencil and some of my sprays.



 Once the first layer of sprays were dry I got out some Tim Holtz tissue paper and used the Stencil Gel that Rebecca Has to put it down.  I love this stuff it works great and dries quick too!  Next I layered on the Marrakech Stencil with some more of my sprays is a light blue tone, I continued to build up the layers on the canvas until I was happy with it.

 Next it was time for some modelling paste, and I used the Heritage Flora stencil and the Flexi Spreader from Rebecca's Store.  Once that was complete I got out some chipboard for embellishments, painted them and then I wanted some texture on them, so I thought that the delicate patterns from the Graceful Harmony Stencil would work great onto of the chippys!

 You can see below how it turned out, I really love the effect and it shows just how tiny and delicate these stencils are to go on something as small as this frame and flourish. The stencil showed up great on top of the white paint and really added the dimension I was looking for.

 I used some watercolour paint in a matching colours to pick up on the dimension.

Here is a close up of the finished piece of chipboard, I love the effect!

 As I had the Graceful Harmony Stencil out I used another pattern on it for the side and one corner of the canvas. I love the delicate effect it has.

 After I was finished with the stencilling it was time to add my embellishments.  I used more chipboard wings, resin frame, metals and flowers to complete the look I was going for.

I hope you have enjoyed my project today. Rebecca has such great products in her shop, I am sure you will find something that will meet your artistic needs!
