Worn Cover

When was the last time you did something for the first time? Today's post is all about firsts for me. I used a worn cover, muslin, phoomph and coffee for the first time on a project. Now I know what your thinking, where's the coffee? I'll reveal that later in my post.

Before starting my project I checked out Tim's worn cover technique on page 35 of his latest book. I decided that I wanted to add some snowflakes to the cover but did not have a stencil. I made my own with the snowflake from the Winter Wonder Die and added a few to the cover with distress paint. Once the snowflakes were dry I adhered a little distress glitter to each one with glossy accents. For the snowman I used bleached white muslin that I dyed with coffee to tone down the white. Once the muslin dried I attached a piece to phoomph and die cut the snowman's body. Next I cut a few smaller pieces of muslin and colored them with distress stains. Once they dried I attached each piece to double-sided adhesive and die cut the other parts of the snowman with the exception of the scarf. For that, I attached a piece of jute to double-sided adhesive and die cut the scarf. I then adhered the snowman to the cover and secured my ring binder with linen ribbon.

I'm entering this project over at Inspiration Emporium for their October challenge "In Disguise" and at Studio L3 for Linda Ledbetter's Compendium of Curiosities 3, Challenge 13. Inspiration Emporium is also sponsoring the challenge for CC3 with a $50 gift certificate. Thanks for stopping by!

#CC3C - Distress Photo Tinting

So here we are at Challenge 12, check out Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details. The Funkie Junkie Boutique is back to sponsor this challenge with a $25 shopping spree for one lucky CC3Cer!

The technique for this challenge is Distress Photo Tinting, page 41 in Tim's latest book. I used one of the Found Relatives photos for the technique, minus the gentleman's head, hehehe. Next I stamped the skull from the Mini Halloween 3 set on distress watercolor cardstock and acetate. I then colored the watercolor image with distress ink. Once it was dry I cut out the images and adhered the acetate to the watercolor piece. I framed this spooky fella in a Cabinet Card that was painted with distress paint and misted with distress spray stain. Thanks for stopping by!

Tim Holtz 12 Tags of 2014 - September

Another month is coming to an end, October starts next week. Time to share my project inspired by this month's tag on Tim's blog.

Tim is such a good teacher so I just followed his steps and I have never had so much fun with alcohol inks. I love this image of a young woman's face that I ended up using on my tag, such a beautiful stamp. Oh and I have a couple dozen extra butterflies for another project! Thanks for stopping by!

#CC3C - Effect Powders

I'm getting this post in at the last minute for the Compendium of Curiosities 3, Challenge 11. All the details are on the lovely Linda Ledbetter's blog and this challenge is being sponsored by Inspiration Emporium.

It's officially Fall and the trees are full of color here in Minnesota. For this challenge I decided that I wanted to make a window card. This is a series of cards that I've created that include a cabinet card frame as the base, corrugated cardstock and a window. I started by die cutting the window from chipboard and then followed the technique instructions on page 52 of Tim's book. Next I cut a bunch of mini branches from kraft-core cardstock and used them to form a wreath. The leaves were cut from manila cardstock then colored with distress inks. Lastly I embossed the edges of the leaves with vintage photo and adhered them to the wreath. Thanks for stopping by!

#CC3C - Assemblage Clock

Boy that 2 weeks went by fast! I just finished my entry for Challenge 10, hop over to Linda Ledbetter's blog for all the details. The Funkie Junkie Boutique is sponsoring this challenge with a $25 shopping spree for one lucky CC3Cer!

First thing I did was turn to page 33 of my copy of A Compendium of Curiosities Volume 3 to check out Tim's technique. Once I had my background created I applied Mushroom Alcohol Ink to the entire clock. Next I die-cut the headstone from Grungeboard using one of the Artful Dwellings Dies and then applied a coat of Brushed Pewter Distress Crackle Paint. When it was dry I added a bit of aging with Distress Stain and Paint. I used a Industrious Sticker to frame a picture of a elderly gentleman from the Laboratorie Paper Stash and added the date of his untimely death using Remnant Rubs. For the leaves I die-cut a couple dozen from Kraft Glassine and folded them to create the veins. I took a picture of my finished clock without the glass but then reinstalled it so the leaves can move around freely inside, I guess you could call it a shaker clock! Thanks for stopping by!
