Cherish Each Day

Hello and welcome to my blog! I want to show you a tag I made with a fun technique using Micro Glaze. Micro Glaze is a waxy cream that you rub over images to resist color. It is so easy to use.

On my tag you can see where I used the Micro Glaze -- over the saying and clock. I wanted these to be the focal point of my tag. I then used Distress inks and painted them on my tag using my water brush. The Micro Glaze on the clock and saying resisted the watercolor.  I stamped the bird and also used water over it to give a watercolor look.

I used a feather Spellbinders die and cut using kraft card stock. I splattered some watercolors over the piece and layered it on the tag so that the colors could show through. I added the metal word and butterflies from Tim Holtz's Butterfly Frenzy die.

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a great day!

Masked Christmas Tree

Hello again! I want to show another Christmas card I made using a masked Christmas tree. I stamped the tree on watercolor paper, used Diamond Glaze over it and then water colored with my Color Burst powders. I ran the patterned paper through a snowflake embossing folder and used white embossing powder on the raised snowflakes. I found the little penguin in a stamp set I have from Fiskars. I have not used this stamp in a long time. I think he is a cutie! My Christmas cards are almost finished for this year! Yeah! Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

Boo to You!

Hi Everyone! It is a beautiful, cool Fall day here today. A perfect day to show you the Halloween tag I made for Tim Holt's October tag challenge!  I bought these cute little birds awhile back and had not found the perfect time to use them until now. I had so much fun making this tag. You can view Tim's demo here.

For the background I used Tim Holtz's spider web mask and spread white matte paste over it to give dimension. I then sprayed over it using yellow, orange and purple colors. 

The letters were aqua glittered so I altered them by using an orange Sharpie marker to color over them.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I hope you have a wonderful and blessed day!
