The Glittered Poppleberry

Good crafty afternoon! So today is a step by step of decorating a tile. I stacked and glued some thick cardstock to make the tile thick and heavy. For the base of the tile I'm using a piece of kitchen roll I used to mop up a different project. I glued these two thick cardstock squares ontop of eachother using collall glue. Next I glued the tissue down using my Matt mod podge. letting it dry Now I trimmed off the excess.     I used some patterned tissues and used mod podge again to adhere. Using an old credit or gift card I dipped it in white acrylic paint, then dragged the card in different directions on the tile.     I used my splodges stamp set by Phill Martin and used versafine black ink. I grabbed some paints and did a patch of paint in the centre of the tile. Using Faber castell pastels I scribbled and smudged ontop of the paint patch. To finish up, I found some co ordinating gems and ephemera. I ad...

Good afternoon everyone! So today I would like to share an art journal page I have just finished. Here is the step by step :) I began with a black page, I applied white acrylic paint by pebeo. I did this roughly as I wanted an imperfect look. Next I used my fingers( yes get stuck in hehe) to apply blue paint and blue stamp paint. Again do this messily, it's not meant to be perfect. I next, using my finger, again, smeared the page with little areas of crazing medium. I dried this with a heat gun. This is the result so far. You should be able to see little areas of white peeking through. If not, get the white and pick a finger to scribble some on with. I next used an alphabet stencil from clarity. I applied seedless preserves oxide ink using a sponge. I moved the stencil about as I didn't want straight tidy lines. Heat dried again. Grab some patterned paper that matches the colour scheme. Tear bits up. I stuck these torn pieces down with Matt mod po...

Afternoon All! Those of you who read yesterdays blog will know I am mid creating some bottle lanterns. So to continue on with that, today I added a second coat of the Pebeo DYNA acrylic paint. Its such rich and shimmery paint, everyone needs it! Now I will leave that second coat to dry overnight again. Next I used a set of my chocolate baroque stamps, I stamped them using versafine black onyx ink and clear wow embossing powder. Once all the stamped images are melted and smooth with the embossing powder, I next move onto the fussy cutting. The beautiful stamps from chocolate baroque can be found here To cut out my lovely fairy images, I used my Tonic spring loaded scissors as they are very easy to fussy cut with. I decided to leave a small white border around each image as I want them to 'pop' against the pink background. . After taking a few minutes to sit and cut all the stamped images out, they are all ready to stick onto my bot...
