***breaking news***
ENABLER ALERT...
all the products I linked to in this post are
IN STOCK!
so...
no teasing you with products that aren't available...
here are a few of the little arts that I made for tim...
using his AWESOME new blueprint stamps...
first up...
I covered my Clearly For Art with paper...
then used jet black archival to stamp the images...
I chose super fine detail embossing powder for the embossing...
this is a much finer powder & it's perfect for thin lines...
like what you see in the blueprint stamps...
and I use it for lots of my sayings...
next I cut them out...
the distress markers make it easy to color in the small areas...
when I liked them, I heated the pieces to make them dimensional...
my new art part word HAPPY...
was a perfect fit...
this shows the dimension a bit better...
the cupcake is layered several times...
and the cupcake tin is actually my gold embossing paste over CFA...
when it was dry, I rubbed the coffee archival pad
over the dry gold paste to tone it down...
the gold stamping & edging was done with
and the little dots are also the metallic stain...
I flicked it on with the detail water brush...
the detail brush makes THE best dots...
I added a bit of rock candy distress glitter to the frosting...
perfect for a sugary effect...
Oh wait...
...maybe this butterfly set is my favorite...
the background is created with distress stains
on Specialty Stamping Paper...
the butterfly is dimensional...
I used Glue N Seal to add SS paper to the CFA...
stamped the butterfly a second time with jet black archival, then colored it with distress markers & stains,
using the detail water brush...
here's a closer look...
the beautiful blue you see in the background is
archivals are AWESOME!
here's an art journal page...
LOVE my new polka dotty stencil LOTS...
LOVE the sentiment stamp & for sure the flower...
the mini heart is the new never enough hearts stencil...
next...
another new art journal...
this time I wanted it to be side opening...
I like that it's square...
same flower as above...
but this time I used the coordinating flower art part...
LOVE LOVE LOVE the Blossom Bucket star knob &
the flower center...
this little Bon Appetit makes a fun hostess gift...
it's so simple to customize for any decor...
I used the small art parts square frame...
it's stamped with this new background
I'm so happy to have the mini flourishes...
it will stand because I added a Blossom Bucket metal corner...
how cute are the fork & knife?
here's the result of a scientific experiment...
I was *wondering* if I could use my embossing paste on glass...
I'm happy!
this is a $1.00 glass bottle from Michael's...
but repurpose whatever you have...
paint it with Glue N Seal & let it dry...
then spread the paste over the glass...
I applied it very unevenly,
with the hope that I could make it look like a vintage pottery piece...
when the paste is dry...
you have tons of options...
you can color it with distress paints...
paint dabbers...
distress stains...
alcohol inks...
I used watered down distress paint...
several colors...
and stamped it randomly with a text stamp, using jet black archival...
next I put a small dab of white embossing paste on the craft sheet & added 1 DROP of peeled paint reinker...
to make a green paste...
***remember***
with 48 distress colors...
you have 48 options for paste colors...
just by adding a drop or 2 of reinker...
to the white paste...
that allowed me to add the leaves with green paste thru the new lovely leaves stencil...
for the final step...
I misted it with turquoise Perfect Pearls mist...
here's the result...
oops...
forgot to photo the cork topper...
I spread a bit of paste on the flat top & stamped into it...
then colored it with distress stains...
speaking of embossing paste...
congrats to...
