flower time

Hi all,

Today is a lovely yet a little chillie Sunday but the sun inspired me to create paper flowers.
I will show you some pics of what my paper flowers turned out like.

For these flowers I used Tim Holtz "Ideology" papers, the Tim Holtz distress inks, Heidi Swapp's color shine, my gluing gun and a few metal embellies. Yes, you guessed right, I am a Tim fan myself & I absolutely adore all his products & distressing techniques!

So a bit about them ...
First I cut out the patterns with my eclips & then I painted every layer with different colours.
I used three different layers for each flower. The Heidi Swapp's shines I used in the middle layer of each flower in order to give them a bright & sparkling effect!

After colouring, distressing & drying them with my heat gun (to speed up the process) I glued each layer on top of the other with my gluing gun.  And at the last stage, after they had dried I glued the metal embellies in the centre of each flower.

And here is the final outcome ...

have a lovely Sunday ;)

Athens, 2nd Crop 09/03/2013

On the 9th of March I particiated at the 2nd Athens Crop which was organised by the Scrapbookers in Greece. It was actually a Crop-aoke with loads of extremely original carnival outfits, amazing singing talents loads of fun & cropping. I am attaching some pictures from this fun day full of surpises & sweet little gifts.

this was the kit we were given ...

... and the day's project was to make a mini album with its little box ...

some of the sweet little surpises of the day ...

 

Distressing

Hello friends it's been quite long since I last posted here.  Loads of things to get together, loads in mind to make & yet a lack of inspiration! oh well it happens some times  ... until ...

TODAY YEAH!!  a new idea came up while I was trying different distressing & spraying techniques.

the supplies I used to make this vintage art frame are:

• Ranger Tim Holtz distressing inks (antique linen, gathered twigs, walnut stain, black soot)
• Heidi Swapp Color Shine mists (sweet cherry, amethyst, mustard & chartreuse)
• Ranger Dyilusions mist (melted chocolate)
• Tim Holtz Idea-Ology washy tapes (symphony, nostalgic)
• Scrap papers, glue, brads, and Glossy accents

tell me what you think?
thanks for visiting
love
