it's the perfect storage for...
studio 490 stamps!
I'll send it to Ted for the Stampers Anonymous convention booth...
and it will travel all over the country...
just like Ted does...
it's the new small size binder...
too cute!
it's almost done...not quite...
but I decided to show you today...
since I was desperate for some photos to share...
NOW WHAT?
this is...SHOCKING...
Did you notice...
no distress inks?
Can you tell the difference??
These inks are opaque looking, because I used Ranger's pigment inks to color the grungepaper stamped embellishments I made for this cover.
The pigment inks coordinate PERFECTLY with this tim paper.
FATE or did tim plan this???
what's your guess?
Check out butterscotch, lettuce & terra cotta...
they are awesome inks...
Looking @ the details...
so...when is a heart NOT a heart?
well...
when it's transformed into...
leaves...
it's inked with lettuce pigment and stamped with my tiny text register stamp & jet black archival...
and embellished with Sakura glaze pen dots...
NEXT...
this was fun...
I tapped Perfect Medium onto the game spinner & added some distress embossing powder to add texture...
heat to set...
REMEMBER...heated metal gets hot...be very CAREFUL!
Perfect Medium is very sticky, so it's my favorite for embossing...
in addition to making very COOL watermarks...
here I used tim's Sizzix on the edge die to make a border...
more dimension and...
a place to add...
stamped stuff.
NEWSFLASH...
eclecticpaperie has just added a whole tab full of the stuff you NEED to make art...
it's the stuff I use frequently...
my MOST FAVORITE supplies...
the tab is called...
wendy's ART PARTS!
They call it "convenient shopping"...
it has each company I LOVE...
be warned...
they are enablers...
sweet faces...but enablers...
they are making it EASY TO SHOP!!!
And speaking of SHOPPING...
tim's sizzix texture fades will FINALLY be arriving THIS WEEK...
YIPPEE!!!
They're well worth the wait...
because the are unique & over the top AWESOME...
Get 'em before they're GONE...
and you're sad...
and I'll close with the usual...
just in a little different format...

WHAT? I'm the first comment? Unheard of. Very cool binder cover, and yes, love those pigments! Love how the colors go with Timinator's paper. love it.
ReplyDeletevery pretty my dear! u enabler u! lol...mmmm on all...delish!
ReplyDeleteLove this - just need to bring myself to cut the Timinator paper now.... can't do it, I can't do it.
ReplyDeleteLove the mini binder. Great art as usual. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is Tim planned it that way...he has great attention to detail and making stuff match up!
ReplyDeleteI love your heart Leaves! Fabulous idea! as always TFS!
Do you think we would not stop here if we did not want to be enabled? I think not now only if my DH felt that way.
ReplyDeleteYour cover is so wonderful and so you!
I love the ,imi-binder cover! I am thinking No coincidence with Tim! i think he is very deliberate with his products. Off to shop now.
ReplyDeleteOh, your cover art is wonderful! I don't have a lot of the pigment inks, but those I do have are really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWe're all enablers, aren't we? Though I think we'd rather call ourselves helpers.
Good news about the texture fades. I pre-ordered them ages ago, and am so anxious to play with them.
Have a great week!
Eileen in NYC
cool post :)... have played with the texture fades ( well most of them) and am in lurve ....lol
ReplyDeleteCute, cute, cute! Lovin' the colors - I think I'm needing to get more. Big surprise! lol
ReplyDeleteI read your Tweets about not feeling so good the last few days - hope that's all gone. Take care of you!
Love everything you did! What I like about using the heart for leaves is it kinds of shouts out ~love flowers~ ;)
ReplyDeleteI am so excited. Last month I got your book, and this past weekend went to a stamp show in Sacramento. After the show, went to a great stamp store in Elk Grove and got my first Studio 490 stamps! I decided to start with the Face Art set.
ReplyDeleteYou have to be very careful when you venture away from your door, as there are many enablers "out there!"
Hugs,
Pat Smith
Great cover! The pigment inks are wonderful to work with - the medium blends so well...no telltale lines. Gotta spread mulch (in this heat!) so will have to make art later. Maybe I'll go shopping first. :)

ReplyDeleteLove the butterfly, can't wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteSue
Fabulous! you eye for details amazes me. the butterfly with the spinner for the body is ingenious. And tieing a string around the finger - wonderful. I've been away from your blog for awhile, but was reminded today why I should come back quite often. You are inspiring.
ReplyDeletei think my favorite part is the color of the butterfly...love it...thanks for showing the beautiful cover...
ReplyDeletei really like the pigment inks. makes things look a little velvety. like the cover. must try to use more pigment inks.
ReplyDeleteCool idea with the heart as leaves. Awesome cover!
ReplyDeleteFAbulous! I especially love that butterfly.
ReplyDeleteThe album cover is darling and so interesting to see what the pigment inks can do. What a perfect compliment to Tim's paper (or vice-versa).
ReplyDeleteI finally saw Tim's Texture Fades at a local craft store and got the brick/wood grain pair - amazing! Now I'm off to eclecticpaperie web site just to "window shop" (who am I kidding?). Keep creating. Marijane
Love the use of the heart for leaves - adds a little extra whimsy.
ReplyDeleteI just love your art and your blog!
ReplyDeleteThank You!!!
Love the new cover! Awesome Art! You are such an enabler...wish I could shop all I want to!
ReplyDeleteGreat album! I love how you made your heart leaves!
