CCC #27/Distress Misting Mask

Here is my entry for CCC #27 Distress Misting Mask on Linda's blog http://studiol3.blogspot.com/ I have never tried this technique before so I really wanted to get something done for this challenge. So I squeezed a little bit of it in before I went to work the other day, first attempt didn't work, oh my not much time hurry or you are going to be late for work, I said what the heck and took the time to try it again! So I managed to get the masking part done! Then I was to go watch my little grandson Jackson after work and there was pending high winds in the forecast after snowing all day so I wasn't sure if I would make it home or not so I hurried up and through a bag together and another bag with stuff to try finish this tag, and of course forgot a lot of stuff!! It all worked out I got to work on time and the winds didn't get as high as forecasted and I made it home that night well about 3:30 in the morning, kids! So I was able to finish it yesterday, WHEW!! This is a really cool technique, I used rusty hinge, crushed olive and wild honey mixed with a little gold perfect pearls.


And here I am again trying to rush through a blog post before I have to head out and about again!! Don't forget to stop back tomorrow for the winner of the Tim Holtz die cut!!
Have a good one!

CCC#22/SSSS

I haven't been able to participate in the challenges for a couple of weeks on Linda's blog http://studiol3.blogspot.com
or on SSSS http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com. It's been super crazy here at home & at work and have had no time to be creative. So I took a little time last night and made this card using the Alcohol Ink Spatter technique which you need to get Tim's book A Compendium of Curiosities and find out how it is done.
It was a little more challenging then I thought it would be, after a couple of tries I called it good. And yes I stamped the post card crooked, no time to do over!!
I have been working on my pendants for the Christmas Pendant swap on ATT group when I get a chance, hope to have them done and in the mail next week and I'll post a picture. Here is my entry for both challenges...

Have a good one!

CCC#12

Here is my entry to CCC#12 on Linda's blog http://studiol3.blogspot.com the technique for this week is Chipped Enamel. I only have 4 colors of distress embossing powder, black, vintage photo, green & red, so that kinda dictated the theme of my entry. Very fun technique and I need to get more embossing powders to try different colors! I did do the technique on the photo corners to but it doesn't show up real well in the picture. After I got it photographed I noticed I didn't put the ribbon in the hole, will have to add that later! lol


Yesterday, Donna Downey posted about the unibind on FB, I have one of those so went to her blog to check it out. Loved what she had done with the album. So of course had to go find mine, I had totally forgotten about it and had tucked it away so really had to search for it!! I only had black albums so figured I would play with one of the little ones first. I painted it white then proceeded to emboss on it with utee, all went well until I blasted the utee with the heat gun the paint underneath started bubbling! But went ahead and finished it and added the of green wash over it, here's a pic...


For the big album I skipped the white paint and proceeded to emboss with the utee, then did a blue wash over it. I kinda liked it the way it was before I did the wash of paint. Oh well, I will make a bunch of stuff and put inside the album and show you what I came up with when it is done. Go check out Donna D. blog and see the gorgeous one she did!

Thanks again for looking and for all your nice comments!!

Have a good one!

CCC wk#5

This weeks challenge on Linda's blog was to use Distress Embossing Powder. I used Vintage Photo Distress Embossing Powder for the frame. When I first saw the stamp of the lady, I thought I would probably never get that one. But the more I seen it used I thought it was pretty cool. Now I have used her in a few projects and love the stamp! I've been working on a project for a few weeks now, finally sat down and finished yesterday! I will post it tomorrow.

Have a good one!!
