Loveing this old world look

Loveing Nature

 

 

Welcome to this weeks blog hop, I hope your ready for

some crafting, because this week our theme is nature ,

and we all know that nature has so many wonderful and

beautiful sites to see . Also I am sorry that my photos are not

in the correct order, I tried twice to fix this ( grumbles dam blog)

Any how, you should have started at Imagine If , and come

to my blog from Ngaeres blog

 

I run the tree through the cuttle bug for a little texture,

the used primas glod spray, the we house is cut from a strip

of little houses and coloured brown using chalk ink.

I fussy cut the little birds from primas new paper line

"for ever green collection" these papers have lots of things

that can be cut out out which I love.

 

The reed on the right is such a fun piece to work with, and
is super for filling a space, I used Tim Holtz distress ink
"forest green" then I used a liquid glue on the ends and
covered the glue with tiny glass beads to imitate seeds .

 



In this photo I am playing around with different peace's  to
see how it looks and coloring some of the bits I will use.

I am LOVEING the mushrooms ,so I made them into a house
for the little mouse you see there on the right.

The 2 trees on the right hand side I painted black and used as
part of the back ground

The unicorn I painted white ,then covered with super fine glitter

lots more fussing cutting along the front edge

Now these 2 photos are the same but I forgot to add the letter box
on the side ,see below, but the top photo was better.
The mushrooms I used acrylic paint, vintage red and vintage white
I used a dab of liquid glue and clear glass beads to make the
dots, the other mushrooms are fussy cut from the Prima
"forever green collection"

 



 

 

And here is my finished mini wonderland , full of butterflies

firns mushrooms and so much more. Thanks for taking the

time to check out our latest chipboard at Imagine If  .

Pin Cushion Chair

 This week I decided to put this super cute  Chair  together.
You can get this at Imagine If HERE 

I started to glue and remembered I need to take photos lol, i am

always so keen to get started I forget.

 

I chose my paper to cover the back and arms of the chair

 

I used this lovely vintage red acrylic paint for the smaller
joining parts

 

 

This picture shows which parts I painted,

 

Once the paint was dry I used gold embossing powder to emboss the
back top of the chair and over the painted parts to give a richer look

 

For those of you that haven't tried using embossing powders.
What I have done here is used a stamp with versamark instead of ink,
then you sprinkle your embossing powder over the area you stamped.
Then shack of excess powder and heat. This gives amazing  results

The photo above I have heated one end so you can see the effect

Next comes the fun part, putting it together

 

I then added a little pin cushion

 And added some pretty pins

 

 I was thinking, this would be good at Christmas or Easter with a wee gift
or Easter egg on the chair all decorated up to match the occasion.
Thanks for visiting and have a great week

Hi  all and welcome to another exciting week of seeing so of Imagine Ifs new products on display

   If you have come from Tash`s Blog then your in the right place, if not you need to start at Imagine Ifs

This week I have done a canvas, using two of Imagine If stencils to
make my back ground. See below.

 

A lot of stencils haven't been loaded

onto the shop yet as poor Jo hasn't had a chance to catch here breath yet,
So just e-mail her and ask if you would like one until they are up.
 

 

I also used a frame and corner piece`s and then painted over them

as I wonted them to blend in and be a part of the back ground

 

Next I used 3 different sprays. Tattered angels glimmer mist "tiger lily"

and "sunshine. To get a little more darkness in the corners I used

Dylusions "black marble. You can see the back ground show here.

 

This is just a close up for you

 

I then used a small piece of bubble wrap which I inked with

jet black archival ink  and doted it about randomly .

I had a play with a few flower :) as you do

 

 

I knew I wonted to use this awesome dress form  and the words "vintage girl"

and maybe the key, but decided the key was to much

 

Added  half a film strip and some cogs which held the Tim Holts film strip.

The gorgeous lades I cut from a paper arts paper arnt they so cool :)

This is a super close up so you can see my back ground.
Oh and I covered the dress form ( which is stunning on its own)
with some bits I had in my stash and used Good old Tims
distress ink on the lace to show the pattern up more and help
it blend in.

Just a quick demo on how to get the raise back ground using a stencil

This is a stencil I had on my table, it just arrived from Imagine If .

with this one I am doing a specific area, but when doing a back ground

with a pattern I jut hold the stencil down and randomly apply the past.

 

 

The pot below is what I have been using, there are a few different

types, this one dries clear, some dry white, it has a very thick consistency

With this stencil I have used some masking tape to cover the top
part so the past doesn't go through as im pretty rough lol

 

I have covered  around the edges so I can use my mister to colour

the back ground.

 

Back ground has been done

 

 

Next I will place the wing pattern part over my back ground of

blue spray as below

Then using some thing with a nice clean flat edge (I am using an old credit card)
scoop out some past and spread it over the stencil until all the gaps are full.

 

Then carefully remove the stencil and there you have your raised surface.

When doing a back ground (all over pattern) when this is dry,

you cab paint it or use sprays.

 

Here I just wonted to show you the raised edge

 

Have a play, this is a fun process .
