Howdy Peeps!!!
Thank you for poppin in today
to join me and Ranger as we continue
to explore Melt Art....
But before we go any further....
If I had a bucket list....this would be right up
there at the top of my list....
the HONOR and PRIVILEGE to
design for Ranger/Tim Holtz.
When I opened my email around 2ish am
to find an email from Tim asking me
to find an email from Tim asking me
to join such an FANTABULOUS group
of SUPER CREATIVE people...
of SUPER CREATIVE people...
can I tell you....
I never went back to sleep that night...
The wheels began to turn!!
Now, if you know ANYTHING about me....
you know, I am all about flowers....
so I decided I would pull out my Melt Pot,
some Clear Beeswax and a few Petaloo Flowers....
and let the games begin!!
Here is what I came up with.....
The Wild Blossoms Darjeeling Collection by Petaloo
I used......began as white flowers.
I colored them with a Wild Honey Distress Reinker Mixture,
a dab or Fired Brick Distress Re~inker ink,
a spritz of Dylusions ~ Ink Spray....
and dipped 'em in a pan of Clear ~ Melt Art Beeswax....
VOILA!
I created a video tutorial on how I colored the flowers
and about the "dippin" process.
Hope you enjoy it!!!!
NOW DON'T RUN AWAY TOOO QUICK!!
There is a give~away involved here!!
This is how it works.....
Leave a comment on my blog....
and YOUR IN!!
and YOUR IN!!
DRAWING WILL BE HELD ON JUNE 1ST
