Leftovers Tag - Grungepaste - Lynne Perrella 01

I am having  WAY  too much fun!

 

This is a #7 tag I had on my desk when I'd finish a project sometime back.

 

I took the pieces of Cut n Dry foam that had Fresco Paints in them and pounced them all over this tag.

 

They were light in some areas, but the tag was covered.

 

 

Then I got my new shipment of Lynne Perrella Stamps Collection 01 from PaperArtsy and some Grunge Paste.

 

Well, you know what THAT means!!!!

 

 

This is the tag with just the leftover paints and the Grunge Paste stenciling.

 

VERY cool stuff! Love it, and it dries really fast!

 

 

I used Jet Black Archival Ink and stamped the images from just one collection.  I think they really turned out cool with the different looks on the white Grunge Paste and the Fresco Paints.

 

This set is GORGEOUS!

 

The last stamping was the small seashell done with Coffee Archival Ink.

 

The little Olive Archival Ink splots are with Ink and the Dog Mini 72.

 

I added a few highlights with TomBow Pens to give it a bit more color.

 

Layer it onto black Chipboard and add a glittery gold ribbon bow.

 

DONE!

 

What do you think???

Mixed Media Collaged Mini Book - Update

This book was probably more fun than I've had in a long time. I just laid it out and went with it!

 

 Sometimes that produces our best work, in any field. Don't think, just do!

 

 Anyway, I love it. It has 2 of my favorite color combinations with lots of black to make the colors pop!

 

I tried adding lots of ribbons, and charms, but in the end, I went with a simple turquoise piece of seam binding and a locket key with a chain tassel on a swivel clasp.

 

 

 

This is the front inside cover with some stamps from the talented Lynne Perrella and Anna Dabrowska. 

 

 Here is a detail of the front. Lots of paint, glue, sprays, and ephemera. 

 

 The inside back cover has the Sunrise Sunset papers that have GORGEOUS colors!

 

 

 

UPDATE: I used the Zutter Bind-It-All and Owires to put this book together. The front and back come in a flat pack so they're easy to paint and decorate.

 

Then you punch the holes for the wires and add your pages all on the little machine. I've had mine for a long time and forget to use it. I works great when you want to get color right up to the edges and still have a wire binding.

Blue Moon from Retro Cafe Art

I love playing with Fresco Paints from  PaperArtsy, and  Coffee Break Designs  from  Retro Cafe Art!

 

They are  PERFECT  together.

 

So you can imagine that I really enjoyed making this cute wall hanging that could house any number of pictures or treasures. 

 

 

If you've been here before, you know how these kits come flat, you paint them and then glue together.

I made this in one afternoon...seriously..painted it, stenciled the stars on, stamped the inside of the cubbyhole, and glued it together.

 

I hung charms and beads from the pre-drilled holes, but they can also be ordered without the holes.  So cool.

It's always hard to get a picture inside the pieces, so I took this on my worktable before I glued it into the Moon.

 

The inside has stamps from PaperArtsy - Ink and the Dog Minis, two of my all-time favorites, and of course, the wonderful blending paints from Fresco.

 

If you ever try these paints, you'll be spoiled forever. See how they glow??? The Haystack, with Smoked Paprika on the edges and some Brown Shed, are so warm.

 

The Moon is really the Turquoisey color here. Blues never look right when I photograph them..in daylight, Ott Light, or whatever. Nothing shows the beauty that is really here.

 

The Blues are Bora Bora as a base, with Beach Hut, South Pacific, and Inky Pool on the edges blended in.

 

So fun!
