Give a gift..... ATC's.....

Hello again!

Today I'm sharing with you my ATC's created with the Card, Tags and More Kit from Tres Jolie Kits.

These were really fun to create with. There are loads of ATC/tags to alter in this kit, one for everyone in your family, perfect as little cute sentiment gifts just to let people know your thinking of them....

I have two sets to show you, a floral Shabby Chic set which incorporated flowers from the January Scrapbook Kit too and another set using just the Cards Tags and More kit, which is more striking to look at.

Lets have a look....

I used one of the large 'Classic Cards' Wooden ATC's for my background base and then used the 'Lovely Prints' set layered up over the top.

I used 3 of these, one I left as it was showing the print pattern and the other two I covered with some of the Art Paper.

The large background tag I added some Prima Graphite texture paste stencilling.

I used the 7gypsies adhesive doilies wrapped around the sides of the ATC.

I added some Tim Holtz tissue tape around the ATC too from my stash.

The embellishment clusters used the flowers and resin icons arranged over the ribbon I tied around the ATC.

The scrabble tiles were from my stash as were the druzzy stones.

I attached 2 of the Velvet Trinkets to dangle at the bottom of the tags.

The leaves were from the flowers sets in the Scrapbook Kit.

Now to show you the second set.... shabby chic ATC's

This set is using the small plain wooden ATC's which ive lightly brushed over with some gesso.

I used some small cut up pieces of the floral chipboard piece in the Scrapbook kit painted with gesso and built the flowers up over that.

In the background you can see the I have used a roughly torn oblong of Art Paper.

The ATC's were finished off with a decorative tile and Nuvo Crystal drops.

I used small wooden sentiment titles from my stash to personise them into sweet little messages to gift to dear ones and friends.

The last thing I did to them was to rub over some Prima Opal Magics to the edge of the flowers, wooden title words chippy and the tile.. this adds a little glimmer to the whole thing. This was from a previous kit.

The flowers are a mixture from the Scrapbook kit and the Card Tag and More kit.

Noel Plaque - Tres Jolie Kits

Hello all,

This week I'm sharing with you my project created with the December Mixed Media Kit from TRES JOLIE KITS

I loved this project and had so much fun creating it. I added a few different techniques to it.
I wanted to create a shabby/weathered look to the project.

Lets have a look!

Here is a quick photo guide on the process.....

I firstly gave the plaque a coat of the green paint.

I dried this with a heat tool to speed the process up.

Next I covered the plaque with a thick layer of the off white paint.

Then Dried it.

When fully dry I rubbed over places of it with some sand paper to rub back though the layers to reveal the green paint and the wood underneath.

I then used some crackle medium from my stash in three patches on the plaque. The crackle medium I used does takes a good 24/48 hours to crack and dry but the wait is worth it.

The 'believe' I painted with the red paint and then when dry covered in the crackle medium again. Thick in places to crack and not so in others - this is where it looks a bit white where there isn't the layer of medium to crack but I like the effect.

when dry and cracked I rubbed over the Opal Magic so that it filled the cracks. This really accentuated the cracks, I loved the way it turned out!

I added the Opal Magic to the crackle patches on the plaque too!

Next some fussy cutting from the papers in the main Scrapbook Kit.

This was the base to main design. I used hot glue to fix one of the floral embellishments, as this a big piece to fix firmly.

I added a lovely gold mesh bow to the back of the floral piece.

The second floral embellishment piece I cut up so I could create a smaller cluster....

…..And made this arrangement on the opposite side of the 'believe'.

I added the fake snow around the floral cluster by dropping it into wet glue and leaving it to dry and then shaking the excess off after when dry.

I finished off by rubbing some Viva Ink Gold around the edges of the 'believe' and the outside edges of the plaque and dropping some of the glitter on to the background that had fell off the floral embellishments..... I never waste anything!!!

Here are some close ups of the finished project.

Mixed Media Kit Canvas - Tres Jolie

Welcome to my second project of the month for Tres Jolie October Kit.

Today I thought I would share with you my Mixed Media Kit Project.

This month we had a lovely large square canvas and the gorgeous watercolours from Prima. What a treat to be able to create with these!

Here is the Mixed Media Kit

And so lets look at a few photos of how I created this canvas.

I only used a limited amount of colours for this canvas. I kept to all the pinks and paler colours through to the grey.

With a wide 3/4 inch paint brush I painted on the various colours one at a time in random spots over the background of the canvas, letting them blend and run together to create a marbled effect. Later I used a smaller brush to add some paint splats.

The water colour paint are so easy to use. I start them off with a spray of water to activate them and use them from the individual pots, I also use the palette tray in the lid, to blend some of the colours together and to add more water to get a really watery mixture going for a 'wash'.

The chipboard pieces were in the scrapbook kit. These I simply covered with a white embossing powder.

I used the journal card sheet, cut them all up individually, distressed the edges and backed them onto a piece of light 12x12 paper from the scrapbook kit and distressed those too.

I fussy cut these flower clusters out from one of the 13 Arts papers

I splatted some of the metallic paint on the background

Now to layer up the design. I used some cardboard behind some of the journal cards to 'lift' them up. This enabled me to slot under the chipboard pieces.

Next came the flowers and the fussy cut floral pieces. Again I only used the pink flowers from the selection in the mixed media kit.

I used one of the silver metal frames from the scrapbook kit and added a cut piece of patterned paper to the inside. I then covered the paper with a thick layer of crackle glaze. This was slid into the card layers too.
