Day 4 finished!!! Still trying to catch up!


Whew! Day 4 is done!  This one took me a bit longer as I had to let the Crackle dry.  The Glossy Accents were not quite dry, but they were dry enough to assemble and photograph.  I think I made the layer a bit too thick, but I was trying to speed things along rather than put a couple of thinner layers.  I love the blue and silver! Here are a couple of close- up views.




...and a behind the scenes, in progress shot.


...and now for the supply list!
I cut the snowman out of chipboard using the Cricut and the Plantin Font cartridge, building him from circles and shapes and the letter Z!  I don't think he turned out to bad at all!
Inks:  Brilliance in Plantinum Planet, Moonlight White and Mediterranean Blue.  Distress Inks in Vintage Photo and Old paper (to age the music scrap behind the number 25), and ColorBox in Aqua.
Rock Candy Crackle Paint, US ArtQuest mica flakes, US ArtQuest Glossy PPA, 2 largest snowflakes from Just For Fun and one tiny sprinkle one that doesn't have a name on it.  
Various trims from my stash, and Silver DMC Floss.
White acrylic paint, and various white, silver and blue re-inkers for layering of background.

NOW, to finish cleaning up my mess and put the last little bits away.  I think I need to clean the glue off the side of my mouse too!  LOL!

I'll be back again tomorrow to do this all over again.  I still have to do Day 5, and Day 6 will be posted by the morning.  I need to get hopping, so I don't get too far behind!!

Tim Holtz -Tag Tags of 2013

March When Tim posted his March tag for the 12 Tags of  2013  I knew I was going to have to do some major improvising because although I have a lot of Tim Holtz products in my stash, the only things I had this time was the Foliage and Memo Pins.   It took me a few days to wrap my head around it... but in the end I'm really happy with how my tag turned out  and it was nice to have some creative time at my art desk. Thanks for stopping in and feel free to leave me a comment and let you me know you stopped by! Anna I didn't have the Fringe Die so I  cut my grass by hand.  I looked at the picture of the die and sized my grass to match  Tim's.  I had Green Co-ordinations but not the Kraft one...so my grass is green on both sides of the fence.  I sanded the paper first and then gave it a good dose of Walnut Stain Distress Ink before cutting.  Then after I put it on my tag, I gave it a little hint of Picked Raspberry. ...

Project 30 - Day 16 - January 30, 2007

This is Momma Cat. She adopted us a couple of years ago when she needed a home for her kitties. She's guarding a lizard that she'd been playing with and wasn't quite sure whether I was after it or not. We are having our two weeks of Winter these days with cold, gray skies and blustery wind. What a difference it makes down at the park... This is the same little willow that I posted about a week ago...only now it has been bitten by the cold and turned all brown and sad...

What's on Your Workdesk Wednesday? As always I'm running late posting my workdesk, but a busy day at work and then I had errands to run  which kept me away from my desk until late this evening. Once I finally had a chance to sit down I dug out my acrylics to work a bit more in my art journal.   My daughter brought me a snack of popcorn and I had to be careful not to eat my brushes or try and wash them out in the popcorn cup. If you look close on the right side you can see Momma Cat.   She thought I needed supervision and it was all I could do to keep her from walking through the wet paint! ...then when I wasn't paying close attention my other black cat, Sneakers, walked right through my little puddle of black paint.   Now THAT was fun trying to get it all off of his paws.   He wasn't too happy with me after that! and here's a little close-up of the journal page that I'm working on. Stamps are by Stamp Camp .   ...
