Terry made a card with lots of Bling....she saw the flower in a Craft Magazine and tried to make a flower with the Tim Holtz Tissue Tape in her own way. She coloured her card with lots of Distress inks such as Forest Moss, Vintage Photo, Bundled Sage and Pine Needles, used lots of Crackle Accents and Tim Holtz Idea-ology Foliage Advantus.The flower is placed on the Art Parts Leaves from Wendy Vecchi. The middle image was made with Adirondack Alcohol Inks and mixed with Blending Solution.
Tracy decided to pull out all the stops for her first DT piece recycling a wired dress form that was damaged, giving Tracy the idea of a MAKE DO AND MEND piece which has been covered in torn paper from an old book and coloured using Broken China Distress Stain. Grunge Blocks have been added to give dimension to the lettering and lots of Claudine Hellmuth Matte Multi-Medium. Most of Tracy's metal finds for this piece were coloured with Silver Adirondack Paint Dabber which adds great texture to the wings and metal embellishments.
Candy's vintage "bling" creation combines lots of techniques and textures with shiny metals, fluffy feathers and crystals to accentuate a lovely vintage "tin type" cabinet card. There are lots of Tim Holtz elements in this piece including the background paper from Lost and Found Paper Stash, Vintage Cabinet Card, Mini Cabinet Card and Tattered Florals die cuts, Ideaology Corners and Trimmings. Juniper and Pitch Black Paint Dabbers are the perfect tools to antique the metals for a real vintage appearance.
Ellen was so excited to share her first DT project! She started with an 8 x 10 canvas board and went to town with paint dabbers, blending several colors together. Then used a harlequin stencil with gesso and perfect pearl mists, Tim's bitty grunge stamps in black and white, more gesso accents, loads of idea-ology and a subtle touch of *bling* to add just the right amount of sparkle!
To begin Lynne's Bling~0~licious project, she chose Wendy Vecchi's Timely Pocket Watches and the layers began. The first layer consisted of Gold Mettalic Paint, while still wet she sprinkled on a bit of Vintage Glitter Glass. When dry she painted on a layer of Rock Candy Crackle Paint. The watch was finished off with a layer of Jet Black Archival Ink. Additional bling consists of Vintage Trinkets and Rusty Hinge Distress Stickles.
It's no secret that Nancy loves to decorate mini-books. This one began with chipboard and extra large tags wallpapered with Pink Paislee's Butterfly Garden. The cover showcases Prima's bling swirls which were cut to look as if it is the bird's flying pattern. Visit Nancy's blog to see the inside pages.
Bling isn't usually Dan's style and he's surprised to admit that this project looks better with the added bling than it did before he added it! Products used include Claudine Hellmuth Studio Paints, Distress Stains in the new colours of Picket Fence, Dried Marigold and Aged Mahogany, the Royal Script and Steampunk stamp sets and some adhesive backed gems.
It's not often that Sarah does bling, but a pair of beautiful vintage earrings inspired the wings for her flying Diva. Sarah used Wendy Vecchi Art Parts and Art Fit for a Queen stamps, Stormy Sky, an Idea-ology flower along with vintage lace, metal findings and page scraps to create her piece.
I started with a fat mini canvas and turned it into a kind of chunky ATC. I used Wendy Vecchi and Tim Holtz stamps, Fired Brick Distress Ink ... some Grunge Paper and some of Claudine Hellmuth's Stick Backed Canvas ... Multi Matt Medium to stick and then I added Sticky Backed Pearls for my bling.
