Chase the DREAM!

I really had a FUN TIME creating this project....

I had no idea what I was doing....
.....or where it would take me!

This is how I created the background paper.

I began with a piece of white cardstock.
Then, I laid down a layer of Ranger's ~ Multi Medium

all over the cardstock with a fan brush.
I placed Petaloo ~ Embossed Daisies ~ Tangerine and Tulip Yellow
randomly all over the cardstock and dried it.

Next, using a fan brush,
 I brushed on a layer of Ranger ~ Dina Wakely ~ White Gesso
not completely covering the flowers.

When dry, I applied
Wendy Vecchi's ~ embossing paste ~ translucent

through a
The Crafter's Workshop ~ Kasia's Letter Template.

I dried the paper throughly.

Then I spritzed the paper with
Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Aquamarine.
Dried the paper again and spritzed the paper with
Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Candlelight.

When dry, I used TCW ~ Kasia's Letter Template again,

 this time applying the White Gesso
with a Stencil Brush.

Creating this....

I cut the paper to size to cover my

"Chunky ATC"

I then embellished the top and front of 

my "Chunky ATC".

I had left over "created" paper and pieces parts so, I made this card.

I just love Tattered Angels ~ Mistable Papers ~ Linen
colored with 

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Olive Vine and

Glimmer Glaze ~ Parsley

cut with Die~Namites Dies ~ Large Ivy die.

Hope you enjoyed my creative journey!!!

....a grateful heart

I love trying new things with new products....
I just purchased a couple of jars Wendy Vecchi/Studio 490
embossing paste ~ translucent and black.

I began my creation with a Giant Tag ~ Kraft.

I ran a bit of Black Embossing Paste through
The Crafter's Workshop ~ Mini Cherry Blossoms

Then came the experimenting.....
using a palette knife I deposited two small piles of
translucent embossing paste
onto my craft matt.
I then mixed in a bit
Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glam ~ Saffron and Adobe

I applied the mixtures through two different
Crafter's Workshop Stencils
Hexagons and
Harlequin
I LOVED THE RESULT!!

I spritzed the tag with
Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist
Sun Sisters
Kraft
Pumpkin Pie

I finished off the tag with colored Petaloo Flowers and Foliage
a Tattered Angels ~ Tattered Tangles
and a colored Canvas Corp Burlap Heart
and a bit of wire mesh.

I hope you enjoyed my experiment...
...cause I did!!
thanks BUNCHES for stopping by!

A Friend.....

Have you heard of Tattered Tangles??

They come in two different forms...
12 x 12 Printed Pages and
Tangled Packs.

I have been playing around with them....
OHH THE FUN....they are.
Especially for people like me who
DON'T DOODLE!

I have been seeing various "HEARTS" creations lately
and decided to make one myself.

I began by cutting my heart from
a Canvas Corp ~ 12 x 12 Canvas Sheet.

I then pulled out a container of
Wendy Vecchi's ~ Crackle Texture Paste
(can I just say I LOVE THIS STUFF!!)
and applied it through
The Crafter's Workshop ~ Quatrefoil Reversed

When dry, I sprayed the heart with 

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist

Blue Bubbles and Crushed Shells.
I stamped randomly on my heart
with Wendy Vecchi's Archival Ink ~ Watering Can
I then randomly applied Ranger's Multi Medium
on the heart and laid a piece of Vintage Sheet Music
over the entire heart. When it dry, I tore off
the pieces parts that weren't adhered.
I used The Crafter's Workshop ~ Harlequin and applied
Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glaze ~ Pewters through it.

I altered the Petaloo ~ Darjeeling flower with a bit of

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Frost.

I also spritzed the other Darjeeling flowers with

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Blue Bubbles.

I finished off the cluster with

Die~Namites Dies ~ Summer Branch

cut from Canvas Corp ~ Kraft Paper,

then I colored it with 

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glam ~ Lime Cordial.

I then finished off my heart with a

Tattered Angels ~ Tattered Tangle ~ Love.

I first sprayed the Tattered Tangle with

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Crushed Shells

splattered on a bit of

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Mist ~ Blue Bubbles

finished off the coloring with

Tattered Angels ~ Glimmer Glaze ~ Saffron & Pewter.

I hope you enjoyed my creative process 'cause

I KNOW I DID!!
