Altered Wall hanging...

This is another project I did as a guest design for Creative Imaginations. It was a fun Altered Art project.  Hope you like...

Supplies:
Monarch Stencil:  #28375 and #28376 – sorry they don’t have names?
8” x 8” EcoArt Board from Rubberstamp Concepts
Light yellow Acrylic Paint
Radiant Rain:  Color Concentrate:  “Pewter”, “Cooper”
Raidiant Rain:  Shimmering Mist:  “Ocean Blue”, “Fern”, “butternut”
Embossing Paste
Chip board
Die cuts: Crown and swirl
Creative Paperclay
Black marker
Drew Drops
Rub-on Letters
Gold Glitter Chip Board from Robin’s Nest
Directions:
Started by painting your Ecoart board a light yellow.  Lay down your “Monarch” stencil – Heart only.  Using a VERY light touch, dap on your Radiant Rain “Butternut”  over the stencil, pull off stencil and set aside to dry.  after it dries, do the same with the wings stencil using the  “Pewter”, set asdie to dry.    Using a make-up sponge I sponged on both “Fern and Ocean Blue Radiant Rain on the rest of the background, until I was happy…
I had a Creative Paperclay heart already molded and ready to use – So I just painted with my Twinkling H2o’s.  I added my Rub-on letters around my Heart with Wings image – cut out the crown from Glitter paper from Robin’s Nest and added some drew drop – again from Robin’s Nest.    I painted my swirl die cut with the same Twinkling H2O’s as the Creative Paperclay heart.
Mixed Embossing Paste and Radiant Rain “butternut” together and then added the embossed paste and the stencil #28375 – see video on this step



I just stared to place all the part in place and completed my project.  



Used a black pen to add some details.  And I was done..  just need to get myself a frame and place on wall or give to my favorite “King of Hearts”

Supplies:  
2 sheets of Paint It with Luminarte:  Marha Johnson’s “Music  Sheet paper”
Radiant Rain Shimming Mist:  Ocean Blue
3-D Crystal Lacquer from Sakura Hobby Craft
Wire and pearl wire
5 Petal flower stamp from Viva Las Vegastamps!
Old Book
Gel Medium
Miracle Tape from Viva Las Vegastamps!
Green Fabic and stuffing
Drew Drop from Robins Nest “lovebirds”
Metal flower – Unknown
Outline sticker from SparkelKraft
Twinkling H2O’s – choose of colors
Vellum Quote

Directions:
Adhere book pages together with Gel Medium – see Altered Book Beginners Video for help.  Set aside to dry.  My book I adhere a large section together – left back page un-adhered – you will see why later.   I adhere a small section in the very front.  But you could just have the whole book to be just one page.



Once Pages where complete dry.  I started to cut my niche  into my book – Size depends on your book and what you want to place inside the niche.  After you are finished cutting those pages out – use your gel medium again to glue the inside of the niche.  Set aside to dry.



I adhere on both sides of my book pages the “music Sheet paper”.  Where my Niche is I cut a “X” from the back and folded all the edges down to made it look complete.  I then adhere using my Miracle tape some fabric to the inside of the niche – I did this from the back.  You want the fabric to be loose – we will be adding stuffing in this hole next.  When your fabric is adhering all around I added some stuffing and then I adhere the back page over the whole thing…  See why we did not adhere the back page…  Smart…







I stamped out 6 flowers on the Music Paper – three of the flowers I used the black side and the other  three flowers I used the light side of the paper, but added Radian Rain Shimming Mist “ocean Blue” to add some color.  You could also use your Twinkling H2o’s to add color…  So much FUN!  See video on how to make 3-D Flowers (this video is using another product – but the flower is made the same way).

After I made two 3-D Flowers I adhere them into the Niche, add two metal flower embellishments – I did add the Drew Drops to the center to more color.
I added some Outline flower sticker to the top right corner and colored with Twinkling H2O’s.  I place all my Twinkling H2O’s on my desk with lids off, spray then with water and started coloring..  So much full

On the left had side of the page I again adhere my Music Paper down with my Miracle tape and then started looking for a good quote.  I printed my quote onto vellum.  Since I knew the vellum quote would blend into the background, I add some twinkling H2O’s under where each of the words would be, this made my words stand out.  I adhere the vellum with Miracle tape.
I used this project as a  guest designer for Creative Imagations and Luminarte -  I will be working on the cover and maybe the inside page - it was a library pocket - Just wait to be played with.  So stop by and see how I finished this book..

Secret Box

This month I am so excited to be a guest designer for  Luminarte Blog 

Secret Box

By Terri Sproul

Supplies:

Glue dots®:  Removable, and Crafts

Embossing Paste, 

Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist “ocean Wave” and "fern"

Tim Holtz – Chip board Swirl – large

Cigar Box

White Gesso

Silk Flowers

Gem

EcoArt Board – 2” x 2” from Rubberstamp Concepts

Black Ink: 

Creative Imaginations “Paint It!” swirl sheet from Christine Adolph

Cranberry Acyclic Paint

Dream swinsuite Girl Stamp from Viva Las Vegastamps!

Twinkling H2O’s of choose to color in swim suite Girl stamped image.  

  

Directions:

Paint Cigar box with White Gesso, Gesso is a primer and will cover all the letter or marks on your box.  Then I painted side of box with Cranberry Color acrylic paint.  Set aside to dry. 

When Box is dry, I mixed “Embossing Paste” and “Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist Ocean Wave”.  Added your Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist one drop at a time, mixing in between until you get the color you want.  NOTE:  shake your Radiant Rain bottle well…..

I place my Stencil on side of box, using Glue Dots® removable to hold the stencil in place.  Using my palette knife, I add “Embossing Paste” over the stencil – like icing a cake.  I did this step completely around the whole box.  HINT:  start on the back of the box to get a feel of this technique.   Set aside to dry.  

  

Cut Christine Adoph Paint It Swirls paper to the size of the top of your cigar box.  Paint your swirl paper with “Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist Ocean Wave” – I applied it with a paint sponge brush.   Adhere paper to the top of the cigar box with Glue Dots® Crafts. 

Paint large swirl from Tim Holtz with “Radiant Rain Shimmering Mist “Green””.   Adhere to box top with Glue Dots®.

Add Silk flowers using Glue Dots®.  I added a gem to the center of my flowers – to add to the bling of all the “Radiant Rain Shimmering Mists” I used.  I had blue silk flowers – but IF I did not – I could have used my Twinkling H2O’s, Radiant Rain Simmering Mists or the new Pourable to add color to them.  How cool is that!!!!!  

Stamp image onto EcoArt Board with black ink.  Color in image with your choice of Twinkling H2O’s colors.  So many to choose from.  LOVE them all….   Adhere the EcoArt board to box top using Glue Dots®.

Line the inside of the box with red velvet and it’s done..  

If you have a questions on any of my project.  let me know..  I would love to help you out...
