The Bo Bunny collection is lovely for creating a variety of projects<br />
The dotted paper is double sided and I chose to use both sides for this card<br />
I cut the dotted paper to fit a premade card<br />
Using the reverse side, I matted it with brown cardstock and added it to the card<br />
Using the Word Association stencil with Sterling paint, I stenciled DREAM on the panel<br />
Using a tag sticker from the Gabrielle collection, I matted it to cardstock and added it to the card<br />
A rose was stained with Coral distress stain and added to the tag<br />
<br />

For a different twist, I tore this ornate pattern paper and edged it with cardstock</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using the reverse side of the pattern paper, I added the panel to the card</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I created a tag and inserted it between the layers</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

The coordinating card was inked with Coral Distress Stain<br />
A panel of white was cut and the Blossom stencil was used again to create the background<br />
Once matted with black cardstock, the panel was added to the card<br />
Again the Bo Bunny stickers were perfect as the focal elements<br />
<br />
I'm thinking this would be a great ensemble to give your loved one something special.<br />

Thanks so much Kim.<br />
<br />
I received some wonderful products to work with this month and I used the same products to create 3 different tags. I hate to waste ink, stain, or paint and I try to find ways to use up all the color on a stencil rather than wiping it off. <br />
<br />
Supplies:<br />
<br />
Tim Holtz Stencil - <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/timholastbl.html">Blossom</a><br />
Tim Holtz Distress Stain - <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/timhoabcost.html">Abandoned Coral</a><br />
Gelli Arts <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/gearsppo4rub.html">Rubber Brayer</a><br />
Bo Bunny Stickers - <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/bobupakitwis.html">Gabrielle Collection</a><br />
Ribbon<br />

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://nagaonkarshilpa.blogspot.in/">Shilpa</a> here,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I would like to share with you my last post as a Guest Designer.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've created ATCs with Tim Holtz Birds Crazy stamp set and Gelli Plate printing.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkuT1lpKqagI81gUu4iIr095f6jaC_YD4X_GSrmGaGApg-xIM44AF7GoSD2ggTfnfxlLfCm4Kt7VXNPoOLoxhnYaq_4jtQUncx1Jr6HLxH3aUKir4voMwoA7NAzq54uqy-Yg-UZUrDBOw/s1600/IMG_5206.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkuT1lpKqagI81gUu4iIr095f6jaC_YD4X_GSrmGaGApg-xIM44AF7GoSD2ggTfnfxlLfCm4Kt7VXNPoOLoxhnYaq_4jtQUncx1Jr6HLxH3aUKir4voMwoA7NAzq54uqy-Yg-UZUrDBOw/s400/IMG_5206.JPG" width="337" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love my Gelli plate... love to create prints with them. I use them in my Art Journals, to make mixed media canvas, cards...but today I wanted to use them to make ATCs.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let's see the process..</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got prints on papers with Gelli plate, Acrylic Paints and Crafters Workshop Stencils.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cut them into ATC size.<br />
For more layers in the background, I stamped on them with text and texture stamps.<br />
Adhered butterflies,Tim's tissue tape and Trellis diecut pieces. Splattered distress stain colors.<br />
<br />
Next I stamped Crazy Birds and colored them with Distress Inks. Fussy cut them and adhered on ATCs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi folks! Kim here today to share two project with you, both created with one Gelli Plate print. (All product links at the bottom of the post)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now...let me start by sharing that I spent the majority of today creating a darling video for all of you, showcasing the new 6" round gelli plate and textured acrylic sheets. And...I spent the other half of the day trouble shooting said video, with zero success. My video is "stuck" on my phone and I have been unable to get it to upload to my computer or You Tube. (This is even with the help of my genius IT savvy brother-in-law!) Call me frustrated! So...I'm sorry that I don't have a lot of photos to share of the process, but I will let you know just as soon as I'm able to get the computer issue figured out...whether by hammer or some other means...LOL!...I'm kidding...kind of...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started with the 6" round Gelli Plate, three Textured Acrylic Sheets, a non-stick craft sheet, a few stencils, a brayer, and some paper towels. Here are the steps:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ol>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Apply acrylic paint to gelli plate, use brayer to spread paint over entire plate.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Press one of the Textured Acrylic Sheets into the wet paint, remove.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Press all or a portion of your paper on to the gelli plate and smooth with your hand to create the print.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Remove your paper, use another piece of paper is pick up any excess ink.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You can see a great video, created by Gelli Arts, on using the new 4" and 6" round Gelli Plates <a href="https://youtu.be/N08HNL0HMQA" target="_blank">here</a>.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once I completed my 8.5x11" gelli print, shown below, I cut the paper into 2x2" and 1x1" squares.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Wqvvvzon1_1MDeoxgDsY58k91DJwYWjCgQ51htWSA1fRRcsa2Gryhpq_01uxRHpEPYYE6ssQVNhAcxwOXqCtR2V1Zr2GcwMeFINstIZ8_cpjDeseNobIMRsEF26UBgp_lzue1ldY014C/s1600/gelli.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Wqvvvzon1_1MDeoxgDsY58k91DJwYWjCgQ51htWSA1fRRcsa2Gryhpq_01uxRHpEPYYE6ssQVNhAcxwOXqCtR2V1Zr2GcwMeFINstIZ8_cpjDeseNobIMRsEF26UBgp_lzue1ldY014C/s640/gelli.JPG" width="456" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Using the 1x1" squares, I created a card, shown at the top of today's post. I simply layered the 1" squares onto 1 1/8" black squares and then adhered them onto a piece of white, embossed cardstock. I'm giddy over how the colors pop against the stark white!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, I followed <a href="https://youtu.be/21qi9ZcQVto" target="_blank">this video</a> to created a book (I trimmed my book down to a 3" square...it's SO cute!) I used the Believe Script stencil, from The Crafters Workshop, and Wendy Vecchi's white embossing paste to add some design and texture to each page of my book. Here's the finished cover...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0GWbZaHKXtun0JdQQkErqZCSoMYGsoIvELw_r_8qw5j-Wd32D3d1dNYh4d6fsWMq26y2xZplarUX6kezU81T_GTnwtkjBEAZ8neV1AWrLiJ2tW0tqTAnnZzYrwRcuOMvK35myM1EeCjUX/s1600/gelli3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0GWbZaHKXtun0JdQQkErqZCSoMYGsoIvELw_r_8qw5j-Wd32D3d1dNYh4d6fsWMq26y2xZplarUX6kezU81T_GTnwtkjBEAZ8neV1AWrLiJ2tW0tqTAnnZzYrwRcuOMvK35myM1EeCjUX/s640/gelli3.jpg" width="609" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the paste was dry, I used foam tape to add a 2" square to each page. I stamped images from the Primitive Icons stamp set (see the bottom of the post for this week's special!!) to stamp images onto white cardstock. I cut out the images and words and added one to each book page...</span></div>

Hello Everyone,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://nagaonkarshilpa.blogspot.in/">Shilpa</a> here,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Its Wednesday morning and I am back with another project.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this mixed media creation, I've used Bo Bunny stick-able stencils and Prima Color Bloom spray inks </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I started with these cute Bo Bunny stickable stencils and texture paste.<br />
Before that I did some text stamping on surface with Jet black Archival ink.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbCLJJPqFNYsajg2-haid30s7ahqHQBxaypmFjzuCCvfFG9bXJPjhCAnpT12qFbdZs8IhkdLdD2H2qLsilpwb_DRZSs_MhCagGXmt9053AHTFnh1S0jhqjkKlKMsdDYt8M_LiFolYamVo/s1600/IMG_5099.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbCLJJPqFNYsajg2-haid30s7ahqHQBxaypmFjzuCCvfFG9bXJPjhCAnpT12qFbdZs8IhkdLdD2H2qLsilpwb_DRZSs_MhCagGXmt9053AHTFnh1S0jhqjkKlKMsdDYt8M_LiFolYamVo/s400/IMG_5099.JPG" width="385" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I used Prima color Bloom sprays<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Here, you will find, I've adhered some die cuts flourishes, butterflies and flowers.<br />

Another unique feature of Dylusion paint is, we can create another layer on it with spray inks.....thats awesome for someone like me who loves to create layers after layers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used Finnabair stencil and Dylusion inks sprays- White linen and Pure sunshine for my next layer.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut out lovely butterflies from Tim's Butterfly duo die, heat embossed them with </div>

<br />
Hello again, <a href="http://rubycraft.blogspot.com/">Ruby Craft</a> here. First thing I want to share is how much I have enjoyed this month on the eP blog. I enjoy challenges, they bring out my crafty, creative side. Kim has given me the opportunity to work with some new products that I have not used before has made this a fun challenge. When I started thinking about my final project, I knew I wanted to make a scrapbook page and try a few things I hadn't tried before. I've seen quite a few designers using baby wipes to apply product and decided it was time to give it a try. I usually don't use sprays and paints on scrapbook pages either, so I wanted to try them too. When I first saw the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/cascdeal.html">Alphabet Stamp</a> from <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/cascde.html">Catherine Scanlon Designs</a>, I thought of my grandson, Jasper, and how much we enjoy reading together. So naturally I wanted to use the stamp again too because that is what my scrapbook page is about. Reading with my grandson, Jasper.<br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX0gkQahcRz8owPrMLq5cxA7nXBM1KP7KFV-fhoqz0ryozets88mPiIdEsXXLToT8SUltZyKm0pzLNhYq-hvcaMR6yto-2LDwgoEspDnQbkxxguIXxliNu9Wb2Oia3_tiiHfyTtZXegk9a/s1600/IMAG1355_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjX0gkQahcRz8owPrMLq5cxA7nXBM1KP7KFV-fhoqz0ryozets88mPiIdEsXXLToT8SUltZyKm0pzLNhYq-hvcaMR6yto-2LDwgoEspDnQbkxxguIXxliNu9Wb2Oia3_tiiHfyTtZXegk9a/s200/IMAG1355_1.jpg" width="181" /></a>First I started with the P<a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/primamarketing1.html">rima Finnabair Elemental Stencil </a> and <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/inksprays.html">Color Bloom Spray</a>. Always shake the spray well. The stencil I used is Weaving. I placed it randomly around the page and sprayed the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/prcoblspvime1.html">Vintage Metal Gold Foil</a> Color Bloom Spray through the stencil. This left some spray on the surface of the stencil. So I flipped the stencil over and pressed it down on the page. Then I removed the stencil and randomly spritzed the page. In a few more spots I pointed the sprayer down and just lightly squeezed the trigger repeatedly to get splatters instead of a spray. (You have to be very patent with the splatter part, if you squeeze too hard it sprays instead of splatters.) After the some of the splatters I tilted the page so I would have a few gold drips too.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKIrSD2vAcSbI4eGSNk_U2Yg7a0gpbVLpu0wSIOMMU0cRDkhdlBzZAy-dONg-UyR4Yh__XLOpgu01D3cqBj_-JS9ce-G_lHyOgaYNvL0m8XpOL8FrLeHfhMsn3P-6dNwrITiIjHF47Gcqh/s1600/IMAG1357_1_1_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKIrSD2vAcSbI4eGSNk_U2Yg7a0gpbVLpu0wSIOMMU0cRDkhdlBzZAy-dONg-UyR4Yh__XLOpgu01D3cqBj_-JS9ce-G_lHyOgaYNvL0m8XpOL8FrLeHfhMsn3P-6dNwrITiIjHF47Gcqh/s200/IMAG1357_1_1_1.jpg" width="200" /></a><br />
The next step was to use embossing ink to stamp part of the Catherine
Scanlon alphabet stamp in the upper left corner of a cream color piece
of 12"x12" cardstock. I used white embossing powder to heat emboss the
letters. Then I stamped the letters in the lower right hand corner and
heat embossed them too. <br />
<br />
By barely dipping a baby wipe in the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/paints.html">Dylusions paint</a> I was able to get plenty of paint to make swipes of red across the page. I also place the stencil back on the page and used the baby wipe to make a patterned stripe across the bottom of the page then added two more patterned stripes on the right top of the page. It is amazing how much paint you can get from the baby wipe after just a tiny dip in this full bodied paint.<br />

Working in small areas at a time I used a small pointed paint brush and painted the inside of the letters with Postbox Red Dylussions Paint. I lightly <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/nratimhodisp.html">misted</a> the paint with just enough water to make it start to move on the page. After a few seconds I tilted the page and let the paint drip down the page. Working 3 or 4 letters at a time gave me a little more control.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfNokzVM7fd4oc-ggpVGtnJxV2LNen-NaSYuH8Ddez0dd2-C1l4jdNafqEF9mmGwaRXaLnJnEB3-57ukX1qEVJpaIQ5-beTWDGEnfw7YcRfe4nzoZMIPANNpI0_jZCk3T4J0YaO_hBpND3/s1600/IMAG1360_1_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfNokzVM7fd4oc-ggpVGtnJxV2LNen-NaSYuH8Ddez0dd2-C1l4jdNafqEF9mmGwaRXaLnJnEB3-57ukX1qEVJpaIQ5-beTWDGEnfw7YcRfe4nzoZMIPANNpI0_jZCk3T4J0YaO_hBpND3/s200/IMAG1360_1_1.jpg" width="150" /></a> I matted my photos and wanted to get an idea of where I would place them. Since I was using Red paint I decided that I would go with primary colors, using gold as my yellow that left blue for my mat. I used the gold foil spray again with the same spraying and flipping then printing effect with my stencil on a piece of 12"x12" blue cardstock. My main photo is 5"x7". The smaller photos were cut apart from a collage print. I moved the photos around on the altered cardstock, lining them up with the grid where I thought the pattern worked best, then trimmed out 1/2" from each side of the 5"x7" photo and 1/16" border for each of the smaller photos. Once the photos were matted, I moved the photos around on my page until I found a layout that worked with the background I created, keeping in mind I would need a space for my title and an area for journaling. I didn't attach them to the page yet but knew where they were going. Now I had an idea of where my Title would go and how much room I had for my journaling.<br />
<br />

This was the first time I had one of her tips. It screwed right onto her paint tube and allowed me to write with her paints. The first thing I did was practice. I was amazed at how easy it was to get the look I was going for. Large loopy letters. When I drew faster it skipped like stitching. If I drew slower the lines were smooth. By slowing down more and the lines went from thin to thicker. After just a few practice tries I was feeling like a pro, so I went for it and wrote my title on my page. I loved it! After a little drying time I was ready to adhere my photos to my page, add my journaling and put captions under my photos. But I wasn't finished yet.<br />

<br />
If you saw my first guest post you might remember a little <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.blogspot.com/2015/05/post-box-red-flowers-for-may.html">red flower</a> I made for my journal cover. I had so much fun working with <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/st490wve.html">Wendy Vecchi's Clearly For Art Modeling Film</a>, I had made quite a few extra flowers. So I took a large flower and cut it up into hearts. They were already painted with the Postbox Red Dylusions Paint but I used Dina Wakely's fine tip applicators and paint to add the black outlines for a fun touch. Then I heated the hearts up with my heat tool and shaped them into little waves and sprinkled them around my layout, attaching them with pop dots.<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrCKD3tMsPSUbMI0lJBV0mDAQOASHKA89sY8hR-SdY-P9OYNFUCEevVXlf5S6lncDAF-3FRODzVWCDpz9e1TlXQU_0ngyauirdxIk3VH7F3CGSFqRjm_pqk0K8Gq2eyYaQ16Hjk9UQjS9W/s1600/IMAG1363_1_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrCKD3tMsPSUbMI0lJBV0mDAQOASHKA89sY8hR-SdY-P9OYNFUCEevVXlf5S6lncDAF-3FRODzVWCDpz9e1TlXQU_0ngyauirdxIk3VH7F3CGSFqRjm_pqk0K8Gq2eyYaQ16Hjk9UQjS9W/s200/IMAG1363_1_1.jpg" width="150" /></a><br />
<br />
Of course I was having so much fun with Dina's fine tip applicator I had to add a fine line dotted and dashed border around the sides and bottom of my page as a final touch.<br />
<br />
Handwritten journaling is always a wonderful personal touch in scrapbooking. Jasper will always know how much I loved reading with him. My journaling reads:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
{You and I Love to Read! We always have. Your favorite book right now is "Click, Clack, Moo: Cows That Type" When I point to the words "Moo", you read them for me. "Moo! Moo! Moo!"}</blockquote>

When working on my projects each week, I tried to use mostly what Kim sent me along with things from my stash that she carries in her store. This was for two reasons. First, I know that when you show someone a new product and they like it they want to be able to find it. Second, Kim was very generous and sent me products to use for my guest designer posts. She also encouraged me to create anything I wanted and is she is super easy to work with. So of course, if you don't already shop there, I want to encourage you to check out the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/">eclectic Paperie store</a>. If you like you can use the links above to make it easy to find the products I used.<br />
<br />
Thanks Kim for giving me a shot and if you ever want me to be a guest designer again just let me know. It's been fun.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863468060995861913.post-5881704340437582692015-05-25T11:37:00.004-04:002015-05-25T11:37:32.210-04:00Memorial Day Sale<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello Everyone! <a href="http://rubycraft.blogspot.com/">Ruby Craft</a> here and welcome to my 3rd week as guest designer on the eclectic Paperie blog. I wanted to share a card today. I started with my favorite of Tim Holtz newest stamps from Stampers Anonymous <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/timhostanbos.html">Botanical Sketch CMS216</a>. One thing I love about this stamp is it is a beautiful 5"x6" stamp that is a line
drawing of flowers with an open space in the middle allowing room for a
sentiment and this stamp set includes several. The image is beautiful to water color but I wanted to use <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/timhocrpidip.html">Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint</a> to give me a delicate green and white background to compliment but not compete with my butterflies.</div>

Distress Paint is very fluid and this stamp has very fine lines and intricate details. First I shook up the Distress Paint until I could hear the ball inside rattle to make sure it was well mixed. Then I used the dauber top to add the paint to my non-stick craft mat and a brayer to apply the paint to the stamp. If I used the dauber to apply the paint directly to the stamp, it would quickly fill in the stamp, but by using the brayer, I only applied paint to the raised stamping lines. Working quickly I rolled and lifted the brayer on the craft sheet to spread out the paint and "ink up" the brayer then roll the paint onto the stamp. I had to do this several times to cover the whole stamp. Immediately I stamped the watercolor paper and then cleaned the paint off of all my tools before the paint could dry on them. I put my stamped background aside to dry.<br />

I wanted to be able to color and shape my butterflies so I used <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/clearlyforart.html">Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 Clearly For Art Clear Modeling Film</a>, mixed media paper and <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/artingredients.html">Faber-Castell Gelatos</a> along with the Butterfly stencils from the "Love" set of <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/stencils.html">BoBunny Stickable Stencils</a> and <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/artingredients.html">BoBunny Glitter Paste</a>. First, I cut a rectangle from the film large enough for the Butterfly stencils I wanted to use. I used the applicator brush in the Glue N Seal to cover the entire piece of film and laid a piece of mixed media paper on top. To smooth it out I used a straight edge tool to make sure there were no air bubbles and the paper was flat against the film and then set it aside to let dry.<br />
<br />

With a blending foam I applied the gelatos, starting in the center with Chocolate for the body, then added Butterscotch, Cotton Candy and finally Blueberry. I gave the Gelatos a little time to set then used a spatula to apply BoBunny Glitter Paste to the stencil. Glitter Paste is available in different colors, but I used Sugar which dries clear. My colors showed through and the iridescent glitter shimmers beautifully. As soon as I finished applying the glitter paste I gently removed the stencils and applied them to an acrylic block long enough to clean them. Then gently lifted them and moved them back to their acetate backing sheet and thoroughly cleaned my acrylic block.<br />

I cut the butterflies out loosely at first and then trimmed them leaving a white border around the stenciled areas. Next I used a heat tool to heat and mold my butterflies working in small areas at a time until I had the look I wanted. Wendy's modeling film is fun to work with.<br />
<br />
The Botanical Sketch stamp comes with several greetings. I choose Hello and Friend and lined them up on a grid block, inked them up with Jet Black Archival Ink and stamped my greeting in the open space in the center of my background. Since the Botanical Sketch stamped image is larger than a standard size 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card, when I then trimmed my background down to size I was able to repositioned the open space up 1/2", giving me an additional 1/2" at the bottom of the card to allow for the larger butterfly. Then I mounted the background on a piece of yellow cardstock to pick up the yellow in the butterflies and then mounted both to a white card base. Finally to complete my card I added the butterflies using foam adhesive.<br />

Hi!
<a href="http://rubycraft.blogspot.com/">Ruby Craft</a> here. This is my second Wednesday as guest designer on the
eP Blog and I'm having a great time. For this week I wanted to use one
of the<a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/timhoidtrcu.html"> Tim Holtz Idea-ology Trophy Cups</a>
to create a desktop photo holder for pictures of my Grandson, who I
think just happens to deserve a trophy for anything he does. The photos I am using here are Fuji Instax Mini instant photos and are about the size
of a credit card. They already have a white border and are heavy weight so they don't need a frame. They remind me of the Polaroids my Dad had. Tim Holtz Trophy Cups were the perfect size for this
project.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV7j7REFFWA113uAynt6NyK9hd9EwU3aIM2apcP2Aywh0gu1GO82DDt8ApfYlErjxRJg8W8t3QJmv66TWG2HXorgdJEwDxLUigbzh8SiDWSQ-hz-PaL8jYRkYawhsyMiqYGdVivdBEWslF/s1600/IMAG1199_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV7j7REFFWA113uAynt6NyK9hd9EwU3aIM2apcP2Aywh0gu1GO82DDt8ApfYlErjxRJg8W8t3QJmv66TWG2HXorgdJEwDxLUigbzh8SiDWSQ-hz-PaL8jYRkYawhsyMiqYGdVivdBEWslF/s200/IMAG1199_1.jpg" width="200" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNX12etf3wKHVXDWgbz7UGPBP3iRWgOtfwjEHFVeyAAbHnMz9Mg59pvbQbWH2VGXz2M5j4BJEgy-NmgNewSoez0-ybA_9sUQtp7DMWD38HT-hkvKQY6JKAVOVFtxNxoOU5Gm4QtSfsEzcK/s1600/IMAG1198_1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNX12etf3wKHVXDWgbz7UGPBP3iRWgOtfwjEHFVeyAAbHnMz9Mg59pvbQbWH2VGXz2M5j4BJEgy-NmgNewSoez0-ybA_9sUQtp7DMWD38HT-hkvKQY6JKAVOVFtxNxoOU5Gm4QtSfsEzcK/s200/IMAG1198_1.jpg" width="200" /></a>To start I used a mini blending foam and <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/timhocrpidip.html">Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint</a> to colorize the silver trophy. The blending foam allowed me to get
into all the crevices and get a nice thin coat which allowed the flourish around the top band of the cup to shine
through. The cup looks almost pearlized thanks to the silver
finish acting as an undercoat. Since the trophy has a slick surface I
decided to add a coat of <span id="goog_1111212335"></span><a href="https://www.blogger.com/">Ranger Ink Glue N Seal<span id="goog_1111212336"></span></a>. It gave the paint added
protection and a nice sheen.<br />

next step is to create the Laurel Leaves. I'm using <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/st490wve.html">Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 Clearly for Art Modeling Film</a>, <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/stencils.html">BoBunny Stickable Stencils</a>
and <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/artingredients.html">BoBunny Glitter Paste in Sugar</a>. The stencils have repositionable adhesive on the back which
made it easy to apply them to a sheet the Clearly for Art and then spread on
the BoBunny Glitter Paste with a spatula. Once I had the glitter paste
like I wanted it I carefully lifted the stencil and stuck it to an
acrylic block to clean and then reapply it on the Clearly for Art
repeating the process until I had the number of stems I wanted. Then I
set them aside to dry.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4HTewOUCXHbceHYpwmUF7s9xS_NJSqTK2Vq8A9QuYzPnacG_Y3RlzXklEekmej2O6O_P5T9cB53Gfw8HcWfW6j6-Jh_AZCJpwAd44fEgc0iGI2PDLl5k3qgH9ZUDRwOeQDMVrQl6ptosp/s1600/IMAG1202_BURSTSHOT002_1.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="150" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4HTewOUCXHbceHYpwmUF7s9xS_NJSqTK2Vq8A9QuYzPnacG_Y3RlzXklEekmej2O6O_P5T9cB53Gfw8HcWfW6j6-Jh_AZCJpwAd44fEgc0iGI2PDLl5k3qgH9ZUDRwOeQDMVrQl6ptosp/s200/IMAG1202_BURSTSHOT002_1.jpg" width="150" /></a>Once
the glitter paste was dry I was able to trim out around the stem of leaves with scissors but cut off the bottom two leaves. This made the stem portion longer at the end. Heating them
with a heat tool I shaped them into Laurels. By working in small
sections I was able to mold the film into the shape I wanted. I used
Glossy Accents to attach the glitter side of the film to the stem at the
base of the trophy cup and the back of the trophy handles. I had to
hold them in place till they were dry enough to hold. It didn't take long but it might help to use some type of clamp to hold them until they are dry.<br />

on a piece of watercolor paper and sprayed it with <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/inksprays.html">Prima Color Bloom inVintage Metal Gold Foil</a>. Once it was dry I cut out a square, applied some <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/nratimhomigl.html">Micro Glaze</a>
with my fingertips to seal the surface and lightly inked the edges with
Vintage Photo Distress Ink. I used <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/ramume38ozja.html">Ranger Multi Medium</a> to glue the
paper to a square coaster I wanted to upcycle.<br />

I weighted the paper down with a large
acrylic block to help it dry flat. After allowing time for the multi medium to dry, I glued the Trophy cup to the center of the base. The coaster is small enough that it won't take up a lot of room on my desk but large enough that I won't have to worry about the trophy and photos toppling over.<br />
<br />
I
already had a pack of Tim Holtz Idea-ology Memo Pins in my stash. I took a good size clump of moss (I found my moss at a dollar store) and stuffed it into the cup
of the trophy so that it would be thick enough to hold the photos in position. I placed 2
photos into memo pins and stuck them into the moss with the laurel leaves going behind the photos. I thought the memo pins were perfect. but you could use
some mini clothes pins on little dowels or little clips on wires. An
alternative for the moss could be a cork stopper.<br />

I
created a
banner by cutting a thin strip from the scrap of the flourish paper,
snipped the ends with the scissors. Each end was then folded twice once
back and then a space about 1/16 of an inch folded forward. The edges
were then inked to match the inking on the base.<br />
<br />
I hand
lettered
#1 Kid and drew the little heart then folded the banner ends and put it
in a memo pin to place in the moss in front of the photos.<br />
<br />
My daughters really liked my desktop photo holder and I had fun making it. Tim Holtz Idea-ology Trophy Cups are 3 to a pack so I still have 2 left and can make them both one for their desk too.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3863468060995861913.post-42343346657673498472015-05-06T00:15:00.000-04:002015-05-09T14:11:02.688-04:00Post Box Red Flowers for MayHi, Ruby Craft here. I’m so excited that Kim has invited me to be guest designer
for May. She asked me to share a little bit about myself. A little over 10
years ago I had taken early retirement but had a little too much time on my
hands. I decided I needed a hobby so I started Scrapbooking.<span class="yiv6905998254" id="yiv6905998254yui_3_16_0_1_1430356300236_9534"> </span>Then
I took a part time job at a local
scrapbook store and a co-worker showed me Tim Holtz and Alcohol Inks.
When Tim
started his blog with a tour of his workroom and then began posting 12
Tags of
Christmas I was hooked on inky fingers and multi media. I began blogging
so I
could post my tags for Tim’s challenges. I still scrapbook from time to
time
but enjoy challenges, making tags, cards and the occasional 3
dimensional project. I'll be here every Wednesday this month with something new
for you to see.<br />

For my first project I looked through my stash and
found a naked spiral book I had bought a while back. I used 3
different stencils along with paints, so I worked on a non-stick craft
sheet. It made clean up easy and also made a great pallet. The first
thing I did was to carefully open the spiral and take out the covers. I
then laid them face up on my work surface and placed the first stencil,
<a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/prfielstwe.html">Weaving</a> for Prima Finnabair Elementals, on the front cover. I used
<a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/prcoblspvime1.html">Prima's Color Bloom Spray Mist in Gold Foi</a>l. This was the first time I
used it and I loved working with it. It has a trigger sprayer which
allows you to get quick solid coverage but also allows you to get a
spatter effect if you want. I sprayed through the stencil onto the cover
front. Instead of wiping off the beautiful mist that had beaded up on
the stencil, I flipped it over and placed it on the back cover. This
gave me the same beautiful shimmery gold but a negative of the pattern
on the front.<br />

used a fun stamp from Catherine Scanlon Designs
called <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/cascdeal.html">Catherine's Alphabet</a>. This is a large one piece stamp that has
open letters that would be perfect for water coloring. I thought it
would make a terrific illustration for my cover. I used a brayer to
"inked it up" with some
<a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/paints.html">Post Box Red Paint</a> from Dylusions and stamped the front cover. I didn't
get a perfect impression but it was perfect for the look I was going
for.<br />
<br />
I decided I wanted to add a Flower border along
the sides and bottom of the front
cover and along the bottom of the back one.
Tim Holtz <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/timholastwi.html">Wildflower Stencil</a> was perfect for this and the second
stencil I used. I used a couple of mini blending tools to apply
the Post Box Red Paint to the stencil flowers and then <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/timhocrpidip.html">Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint</a> for the stems and foliage. Distress Paints have a dauber
top but the paint is very
fluid and would run under the stencil if you tried to apply it
directly from the bottle. The mini blending tool works great with the
stencils and paints. The thin stems can be a little tricky with the
blending tool. Once I removed
the stencil I used a fine detail water brush to pick up some Cracked
Pistachio from my craft sheet to touch up the stems. The water brush
allow me to keep the color soft. <br />

the inside of the letters with Post Box Red at the top and <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/diinabufepr.html">Abandoned Coral Distress Paint</a>
from the bottom of the letters fading the color out before
reaching the middle of the letters. This allows the Gold Foil Spray to
peek through. Another thing I liked that the Gold Foil Spray as a
background is that once it was dry it was not disturbed by the water or
paint.<br />
<br />
Along the very top and bottom of the front cover I used
the third stencil, the hearts from the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/nbobustst2bu.html">Love </a>set of BoBunny Stickable
Stencils. Again using the blending tool and Dylusion's Post Box Red.
Once I finished the hearts I felt they needed something else. <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/nbobuglpa3bu.html">BoBunny Glitter Paste in Sugar</a>! I used a palette knife and the stencil to apply
it. These stencils are sticky and reposition-able making them easy to
use. I finished off the edges using the blending tool and some Vintage
Photo Distress Ink.<br />
<br />

I decided I wanted to make a band to hold the
book closed. I painted a piece of white elastic with Cracked Pistachio
Distress Paint. Using the dauber top made it easy. Distress Paint does
not effect the elasticity or stiffen the elastic. Once dry I attached
the strip to the back cover with eyelets.<br />
<br />

die cut a flower from <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/clearlyforart.html">Wendy Vecchi's Clearly for Art Modeling Film</a>
from Tim Holtz's Tattered Floral
die. Clearly for Art Modeling Film is
NOT shrink film. When you heat it you
can bend it to what ever shape you want and when it cools it will hold
the shape. It comes in clear, white or black. Before you mold it you can
paint it, stamp on it, or glue paper to it and then stamp on the paper
if you like. If you don't like the shape you can reheat it flatten it
and start all over again. I used clear and painted
one side red by simple spreading the Post Box Red paint on with my
fingertips. Once dry I flipped the flower over and used the spatter
stamp
from <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/wendyvecchifauxgranitewarestarterkit.html">Wendy's Faux Graniteware starter kit</a> and some Jet Black Archival
ink to stamp the black spots. After the ink dried I attached the flower
to the elastic band with a black eyelet. Then I was able to heat the
flower with my heat tool and shape it. I just wanted the flower to have
some subtle
modeling since it was on the cover of the journal. I slipped a pencil
under some spots while heating to get a little lift and did the rest of
the modeling with my fingers. You don't have to heat the whole flower,
just a small section at a time. Once I had my
flower shaped the way I wanted it, my cover was
finished and I put everything back together.<br />

I want to
thank Kim for inviting me to be the May Guest Designer. She generously
sent me quite a few fun products to use and she is wonderful to work
with. She has designers for June, July and August, but if you are
interested in being a guest designer in the future send her an email. I

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi friends! Let's face it...I stink at consistently posting on the eP blog...LOL! So...starting next week we're going to have a guest designer who will post a project each week! Yeah! Can't wait! We're booked with guest designers through June, but if anyone is interested in posting from July throughout the rest of 2015, drop me an email at kim@eclecticpaperie.com. And now...on to my project! This was a canvas project that I created for a mixed media challenge, posted a few months ago. Let's get going!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Since I can't imagine any canvas without texture, I started by applying <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/weveempawh8o.html" target="_blank">embossing paste</a> through a stencil. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Notice that I didn't cover the entire canvas with paste...just a few areas. Once the paste was dry, I used Dylusions Ink Sprays to add color. The ink sprays are fabulous for creating drips!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span> <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With this canvas I also opted to embrace the white space...a practice that I find difficult.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now it was time for a contrast color. Nothing makes me happier than a burst of color from the opposite side of the color wheel! I opted for a turquoise color from PaperArtsy. Now...what do you think happened when I added wet paint on top of Dylusions Ink Sprays? Yup...the water from the paint activated the ink sprays and I got a decent amount of brown. No worries...I waited for the paint to dry and applied more paint to intensify the turquoise color.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">More drips...oh how I love the drips! At this point, I broke out my stamps! Nothing finishes off a piece like adding a neutral. I used a few Dina Wakley stamps and black Archival Ink to add another design element. (I love that crosshatch design!)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And since I can't live without text circles, I added a few and then used a Stabilo pencil to draw circles around the text. Using a waterbrush activates the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/stallpebl.html" target="_blank">Stabilo pencil</a>, allowing me to broaden the lines. Once the pencil is dry...it's permanent.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wanted butterflies to live in my text circles so I stamped a butterfly from Dina Wakley's Scribbly Insects stamp set three times on watercolor paper. I used Peerless watercolors (have you tried these? If not, you need them!) to paint each butterfly and then I used the She Script stamp from Christy Tomlinson to stamp, in white paint, on top of the butterflies. I adore the white script across each butterfly...divine!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Each butterfly was fussy cut and attached with a glue dot. I folded up all of the wings for great movement and dimension. The last bit was the addition of the sentiment (also stamped and cut apart) and date stamp (ala Donna Downey...I love adding dates!) And here is the completed canvas...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Morning eP fans! Today I'm posting an art journal page, featuring lots of fun <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/st490wve.html" target="_blank">Wendy Vecchi products</a>! This is a long post, photo tutorial below, so sit back and enjoy the art! (This was created for this month's<a href="http://makeartchallengeblog.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"> Make ART Challenge</a>, which was to use <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/wevearin.html" target="_blank">re-inkers</a> in a project.)</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVAzbGtiVvlmK3rHqcfh3CM3FbgMfEFXId850bWwKcfLSa9OHF6KYYQu6xfy9OIGQciVjX0iCKQ3DCYuShIhHAdT35dyS-vFOU54rUzyB8QvOEObls3BcD_nUjKEfCO9Fvk09Xoh1nXsTb/s1600/ink20.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiVAzbGtiVvlmK3rHqcfh3CM3FbgMfEFXId850bWwKcfLSa9OHF6KYYQu6xfy9OIGQciVjX0iCKQ3DCYuShIhHAdT35dyS-vFOU54rUzyB8QvOEObls3BcD_nUjKEfCO9Fvk09Xoh1nXsTb/s1600/ink20.JPG" height="253" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">These are the products I started with...Specialty Stamping Paper (note, it's important to use this paper when working with re-inkers. Other paper will instantly absorb the ink and you'll be unable to create the fun backgrounds), a <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/diwapakn.html" target="_blank">palette knife</a>, rubbing alcohol (in the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/fiapwbo20gat.html" target="_blank">Fineline bottle</a>), a non-stick craft sheet, Dandelion Archival re-inker, and a fun blending palette from Tombow Markers. (This is just a plastic coated piece of cardstock)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0-W2epR1ZTqM5T69qoDvMpBGuT6nIu6k6zlLJOQWok3WJd7S_b1GX2-KvvDGUimkf6D1lHiQ_F3kG4sTgzL3oQ_QFQ-Qj2Kr_aUIErDYld10aZiQ2HYHGBI4Q43HKukhEpXM9u1jVqck/s1600/ink19.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgs0-W2epR1ZTqM5T69qoDvMpBGuT6nIu6k6zlLJOQWok3WJd7S_b1GX2-KvvDGUimkf6D1lHiQ_F3kG4sTgzL3oQ_QFQ-Qj2Kr_aUIErDYld10aZiQ2HYHGBI4Q43HKukhEpXM9u1jVqck/s1600/ink19.JPG" height="400" width="336" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Put a few drops of re-inker on to the blending palette (you can also do this on your craft sheet), add a few drops of rubbing alcohol, and blend with the palette knife.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrE1mycThkgp1xde-roQ_cBBqXRdla0OihL71FOku0sD1ZPdbtL6xfI9ib6uAepB532dZPAwbQZRCdoKW0RV-HEs_HsoqpmZbLLJPRAK_C6GB27QHah-yD3NwZUi48crQDXR5C_qYOlmUv/s1600/ink18.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrE1mycThkgp1xde-roQ_cBBqXRdla0OihL71FOku0sD1ZPdbtL6xfI9ib6uAepB532dZPAwbQZRCdoKW0RV-HEs_HsoqpmZbLLJPRAK_C6GB27QHah-yD3NwZUi48crQDXR5C_qYOlmUv/s1600/ink18.JPG" height="400" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next, smoosh (that's a technical crafting term) the blending palette all over the Specialty Stamping Paper. I had enough ink to cover both pieces of paper. Add more rubbing alcohol to get fun patterns. Using the blending palette definitely covered the pages more than dragging the cardstock through ink on the craft sheet. I'm not sure I love this much coverage, but it all worked out in the end, and I got to try out a new technique!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I grabbed the oval shape from Wendy's new <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/wevespfrandm.html" target="_blank">Spotlight Frames</a> along with the Sunburst stencil. I centered the oval frame and then layered the Sunburst design over the oval. Use Orange Blossom Archival Ink to fill in the sun. Then I covered the Sunburst with the oval mask and traced around the mask using a <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/fubabl1.html" target="_blank">Fube Ball marker</a>. Added a few more design elements and my oval was complete!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next came the addition of some stamping (Wendy's background stamp, Dots & Dashes) and more stenciling (Add a Stencil and Everyday Words). Here are my two completed journal pages, minus my sentiment. Here comes the fun part...</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihktbu2d319oF2IoZdAZiLMzTL14vJe8WyzYTU-uWlR4p99Gk_yfNAlop6Okm0Fb_n5nv6cVmhoRdjg4iL98d6RBJUHfA0SYY6Nus2HaMJkqtjJx1be2z56AmRTp1uhTHxrV-xDWKBP2vO/s1600/ink11.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihktbu2d319oF2IoZdAZiLMzTL14vJe8WyzYTU-uWlR4p99Gk_yfNAlop6Okm0Fb_n5nv6cVmhoRdjg4iL98d6RBJUHfA0SYY6Nus2HaMJkqtjJx1be2z56AmRTp1uhTHxrV-xDWKBP2vO/s1600/ink11.JPG" height="400" width="255" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I glued my pages into an art journal and then embedded the pages into the journal pages using Wendy's Crackle Paste (this stuff if the BOMB!) (You can also see my sentiment was added before I glued the pages into the journal). I also added a stamped flower, from The Purpose of Art stamp set. (The flower was stamped on cardstock and colored with Copics, cut out, and attached with foam tape.)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Check out the dry paste? Dreamy...I get weak in the knees over all those cracks! And I LOVE Wendy's pastes because they're flexible when dry! Some others (I won't mention names....LOL!) has a tendency to crack and falls off when dry.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I then I got all jiggy with paint! This is a combination of Wild Honey and Tea Dye Distress Paint. And then I added just a hint of Antiqued Bronze Distress Paint...ohhh...check out that Bronze. Love it! Below are some other photos of the completed project. I just added more paint and all of my finishing details...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Make Art sentiment is from the License Plate Art stamp set. They were stamped on a manila tag and embossed with black embossing powder.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The butterfly is from one of Wendy's stencils...I used a blending tool to color in the stencil and then just cut out the butterfly....same goes for the tiny hearts, which have also been embossed with Red Geranium embossing powder. The arrow is from Idea-ology...and yes, it's crooked...fixed that after I took the photo! LOL!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi folks! I'm back with a project created for a paste <a href="http://makeartchallengeblog.blogspot.com/" style="color: #d6b918; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Wendy Vecchi Make ART Challenge</a>...using hearts.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="background-color: white; clear: both; font-family: Georgia, Utopia, 'Palatino Linotype', Palatino, serif; font-size: 13.1999998092651px; line-height: 18.4799995422363px; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started my card by creating all of the individual pieces....(All of the images are from the My Kind of Art stamp set). The pitcher is embossed with Cornflower Blue embossing powder; Gathered Twigs has been added to the edges. The heart is a mix of Dina Wakley acrylic paint and Wendy's Crackle Paste. (Isn't that crackle delish?!) The flower was stamped twice and colored with watercolors. I cut out one entire flower and then a portion of the second flower, to create multiple flower layers. A button with twine finished the flower.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My card background is a piece of vintage book text, covered with a bit of Gathered Twigs ink and Wendy's tiny cross stencil. I then layered a piece of designer paper, with an oval die cut, on top of the text paper and then added a black frame, created using two Spellbinder oval dies. Each little scallop on the frame got a silver dot, thanks to a gel pen. I also added Gathered Twigs over the edge of the entire card and added some faux stitching, from Wendy's Just Sew Artsy stamp set. Finally, I added the sentiment and a star (from the Little Bits stencil). Viola! Hope you enjoyed today's card and be sure to check out Wendy's monthly <a href="http://makeartchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Make ART Challenge blog</a>!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">No new bundle deals today, folks, I'm headed to The Collins Group retailer event this weekend! Yippee!

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Those of us who live in the northeast had quite a winter to deal with this year...In total, I believe we received over five feet of snow...in about three weeks time! It was crazy! At the beginning of those storms, our entire family came down with the flu. This meant that we didn't leave the house, except one painful grocery store trip, in two weeks. That left me with not only a lot of time to watch every movie we own, but I also had a lot of time to craft.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I spent one weekend looking through <a href="http://tworzysko.blogspot.com/">Finnabair's blog</a>, somehow managing to never have done so until a few months ago. I'm so in awe of her projects and one of them, utilizing black gesso and Inka Gold, really inspired me.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One of the things I think is so much fun is how Finnabair takes all of these different objects, all different colors and textures, and layers them on a canvas. Then, just using gesso, she creates almost another blank canvas where you can add your color.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I started by applying a layer of Wendy Vecchi's crackle paste to a canvas board. Once that layer was dry I added black gesso. I didn't cover the entire canvas, just the area behind all of my embellies, because my plan was to add another layer of gesso over the entire piece once I was done gluing. This just meant that I wouldn't have to struggle to get gesso into all of the nooks and crannies. All of the items on my canvas were just random pieces I had laying around my studio...lots of left overs!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a hot glue gun to adhere all of the parts as I needed to make sure the pieces wouldn't fall off when I added the gesso. Next...a good, heavy layer of black gesso went over every single inch of the canvas and baubles. Covering the flowers and canvas takes some time and patience and may need more than one coat of gesso.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the gesso was dry, all I had to do was add a few shades of Inka Gold (this stuff is the bomb!). I used a dry brush to apply the Inka Gold to the embellishments. I didn't add much to the background, focusing mostly on the all of the textures. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'm giddy over those block letters from Tim Holtz...I also added a photo of my two munchkins to the inside of the metal flower. (Most of these metal pieces are from Prima) And here's the finished canvas...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Check out all of that juicy crackling in the background...oh man, I love it!) This was a super fun project, although a little time consuming as you need to wait for each layer to dry, but just perfect for a winter snowstorm. I think I'll start saving up pieces for next winter...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We also have two deals from Bo Bunny...Glitter Paste and Stickable Stencils!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.6pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; vertical-align: baseline;">

glitters. Apply the paste using a brush or spatula, or apply with stencils. The
adhesive dries transparent, only leaving behind a lovely shimmer! These pastes
are excellent for emphasizing the patterns of decorated surfaces.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /><a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/nbobustst2bu.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 130%;">Stickable Stencils</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 130%;"> (SWOON!) - Not only do these 12x12 stencils work great on
most smooth surfaces, but you can also use them on metal, wood, plastic, glass
and canvas! They also work well on curved or flat surfaces. These stencils are
repositionable so they can be used again and again. Use with sprays, paints,
inks and chalks for great results! (With the stickable surface...I'm think I
might need to stencil my living room walls! Eight designs available!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: 11.5pt;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We're offering both
of these new products in bundles of 2 and 3...want more? Just order multiples

<span style="font-size: 11.5pt; line-height: 130%;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bo Bunny has also released
two darling wooden alphabet stamp sets (<a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/nbobukrwoals.html">uppercase</a> and<a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/nbobukrwoals1.html"> lowercase</a>) and I couldn't resist getting them for the store. I have
become a huge fan of creating my own quotes in my art journals. I have two
alphabet sets, just like these, and they have proven to be invaluable. I no
longer have to go searching for the perfect quote...I can write anything! And
the tall wooden "handle" makes printing super fast and easy! These
are a must have for anyone's studio! (Oh, and these babies store in a cute
wooden box!)<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hi folks! I was so encouraged by the comments you left on last week's post. Yeah! I'm glad folks are still interested in seeing some art on this blog. I'll do my best to share at least one project a week, along with posting our weekly bundle deals.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Today, I'm sharing a project I created last month for <a href="http://makeartchallengeblog.blogspot.com/">Wendy Vecchi's challenge blog</a>, which I'm joyfully managing. (You can check out all of the details here). Last months challenge was to use stencils on our project, and boy, oh
boy, did I use some stencils! Grab your favorite
cuppa and get cozy because today's post is a long one! (Step-by-step!)</span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My project started with two pieces of gesso'd chipboard, Wendy's new <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/wevespfrandm.html" target="_blank">Spotlight Frames and Mask</a>, <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/weveempawh8o.html" target="_blank">embossing paste</a>,
and brick stencil. Using the brick stencil, I added embossing paste to
my largest piece of chipboard. On the smaller piece I knew that I
wanted to create a cutout in the middle of the board...that's where the
mask comes in handy!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> I placed the mask where I wanted it on my chipboard. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then I layered the brick stencil on top of the mask and adding the embossing paste.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Once the mask
was removed, I'm left with a perfectly clean opening! Yeah! (How do
you like the green tint in my embossing paste? That's what happens when
you never clean your stencils...LOL! No worries, this baby is getting a

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next came two rounds of
paint...Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge Distress Paints. Dab on and wipe
around with a baby wipe...best coverage ever! (And I like a tiny hint
of white showing through...like chipped brick!)</span> </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Next...two
rounds of Archival Ink..Potting Soil and Watering Can (I'm in love with
Watering Can!) These were applied with an ink blending tool.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I used a <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/stallpegr.html" target="_blank">graphite Stabilo pencil</a>
to add some shading to the window frame, Wendy's Mesh background stamp
for inside the window, Vines background stamp for...well...vines on the
outside of the window and the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/wevest490lib.html">Little Bits</a> stencil for the flowers.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now here's
where things get complicated...I started dinner, emailed Wendy and told
her I had a creative block, cleaned the kitchen, got my kiddies in the
shower, checked email, ran to the basement a few times to grab more
products (yes, I shop from <a href="http://www.eclecticpaperie.com/" target="_blank">my own store</a>...too frequently...LOL!), and finished my project...all without taking another photo!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's the finished piece! I used Wendy's new <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/wvstb2.html">Passion for Art</a>
stamp set for the face, and License Plate Art for the wish sentiment.
The bird is from the Vintage Floral stencil and the crown and glasses
are both Blossom Bucket embellies. The butterflies are from a Martha
Stewart punch and are punched from some scraps I keep on hand for just
such occasions. I also added some stenciling, using the <a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/wevest490clw.html">Classic Words</a>
stencil, to the background of my piece. Oh, and I added a shelf! You
can thank Wendy for that idea...Isn't that fun! Of course I'm not sure
many queens (yes, she's gazing out on her kingdom) store their crowns on
a window sill, but perhaps the crow will keep an eye out for thieves
and scoundrels who are looking to steal a queen's jewels...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tap, tap...is this thing on? Hello out there...I'm wondering if anyone is still following the <a href="http://www.eclecticpaperie.com/">eclectic Paperie</a> blog. If so, guess what? We're still in business!! We're now only online (hello, what was I thinking opening a brick and mortar store while trying to raise two children and run a household...right...), and the store format is a bit different, but we're still selling all of your favorite mixed media products. Only now...they're all discounted 20%! Yippee!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Going forward, I'm not sure how I'm going to utilize the blog, but for now I'm going to post our weekly specials and some of my art. In the near future, I may look to add some guest designers. (You interested in designing for a month? Drop me a note at kim@eclecticpaperie.com)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So...let's get started with this week's deal! This week we're offering a bundle deal that includes a brand new product from Wendy Vecchi...<a href="http://eclecticpaperie.com/wevenebu.html">Newsprint paper</a>! The</span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Newsprint paper is the perfect stamping surface...think vintage paper with the delicate antique book pages! </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Use
Glue 'n Seal to attach the Newsprint to Clearly for Art, stamp images
on Newsprint, color, and cut out. Use a heat tool to soften the Clearly
for Art and mold image into desired shape. Just think of all of the
beautiful dimensional flowers you can create! The Newsprint is packaged
as 50, 8.5" x 11" pieces.<br /><br />This week's bundle deal includes one package of Newsprint, one package of Clearly for Art, and one jar (1 oz.) of Glue 'n Seal. All for the low, low price of $9.92!</span></div>
