LIFE TIME

Hi,

To make up to all those with a lot of faithfulness that have been waiting for something interesting to be posted by sussipoppins....which, I might add, have been waiting a fair long time...but we won't go down that street today. We take the right turn instead, down the Tutorial Lane.... 

............."THE HOW TO TUTORIAL LANE"........

Today, I have decided to add a how to to the post. Detailed instructions, instead of a brief what I did.

The supply list and Instructions,you will find at the end of the post. 

Don't forget to have fun and get those hands and fingers grubby.....Any questions etc. Just leave a comment and I shall get back to you as soon as possible.

We all know how much I love to make my own flowers, but clustering, is always a win, win in a L.O.

The butterflies are finished with a iridescent medium.

More clustering and pearl pen dots.

Close up of the swirl roses.
The stickles are added when they are glued down and dried.
Reason being....so they can't move and you can what ever them with out the risk of dropping them. It's like having an extra pair of hands.

The title is from a Prima Marketing packaging. "Waste not want not"

Love those metal clips. Some times it is just what a LO needs.

Getting a close look at the masking and boarder die cuts.

See how the rhinestones lengthen the trail of the flower arrangement.

The pearl pen dots extend the line and bring it all together.

Hope you enjoyed the photo show, now for the supplies and instructions. 

Have fun.

INSTRUCTIONS:

#1 

Using the swirly leaf mask, bring on the design with the iridescent medium.The placement of this mask is so the points of the leaves are at the edge of the page. Both on the right as the left. I masked two times to get this effect, Later, this will give the look of peeping out from under the clustering. When dry, bring the second layer of masking with the chicken wire mask and kris tall gel. Leave to dry. Distress the edges of the design paper with the distressing tool. Then attach to the card stock, which gives you a base for your LO.

#2
Cut a heart shape from the cardboard box  carton, or if you prefer chip board.. Seal the board with gesso, this will also give the board a white wash look. Stamp with the Donna Downey heart stamp, using the ranger silver and gold paint as ink. ( wash the stamp after using the paint before it dries. If you don't , it will not come off later. ( bad for any stamp) Ink around the edges with red ink or paint.
#3
Attach the heart when dry with double sided foam tape. Place a little to one side, so it is off center.
#4
Using the picture wheel die cut x1 of each, design paper and cardboard box or chip board. Glue the two together. Ink around the edges. Attach this to the center of the heart using double sided foam tape.
#5
Cut x2 from design paper, using the decorative boarders and heart die. Cut one in half. Place one of the halves on each side of the circle frame you have attached in step 4. Place the 2nd paper frame you have just cut, on top. Forming a layered effect. (See 4th photo from bottom.)
#6
Cut a photo to fit the circle of the die cut from step 4.
#7
Make the flowers and leaves using the tattered flowers and mover and shapers leaves dies. The larges flower is made using x3 both small and medium sized flower shape. The rose buds are made with the small size flower shape. x3 for each bud. Ball the flowers with the balling tool.The centers are filled with x2 flower stamens. Fold the stamen stems in half. poke through a whole made with the crop-a-dile, then glue to hold.
#8
Ink flowers and leaves then arrange and glue them all down. Add iridescent medium and stickler. This added after they are glued down, because then they won't move or get dropped and spoil all your hard work.
#9
Attach butterflies at the body, curling the wings up. To give that in flight look.
#10
Add bling swirls and bling leaves.
#11
Using the pearl pen, stip. here and there to form swirls and dots to add to the flow of the flower clusters. Also making a trail, see photo's.
#12
I used a sentiment from the packaging for the title. Placeing a bling in  the center of the flower.
#13
Because the title had the word time in it, I added a metal clock clip.

Remember, if you have any questions leave a message and I shall get back to you. 

Have a fun scrappy day giving this LO a go,
Inky hugs,

This Woman

Hi there every one. This is being posted while I am killing time at Hong Kong airport... 12 hours can sure be a long time!

So you will have to bear with me as I do not have my note book with all the toys I used to create this.....just using the grey matter... here it goes...

The paper used here, is  from an old Basic Grey paper line...Scarlets letters,.....and yes it is an older line, but still a fav from most scrappers.

The lettering is made from Quickutz dies. Yes I layerd them.....6 times... yes it is a pain to layer them, but as you can see it is well worth doing. Finish it with glossy from Ranger.

Flowers, I , of course made my self from tissue paper, useing the tatterd flower die from Tim Holtz.

The black twig with leaves and grapes, is brought out through Prima Marketing. If you look close enough you will see I have added a few leaf chips from Dusty Attic.....sorry I haven't got the # and name with me. Of course finished with gesso then painted with glimmer mist.

The wings are from one of Tim Holtz embossing folders.

The edges are punched with the help of Martha Stewarts toys....a true classic and a worth while investment......but what isn't......

Sorry got to keep it short, running out of battery. I was clever enough to pack the reserve and the addapter.....but it's in the suit case that was booked strait through......which all well and good is now in Carins with all my other goodies I could not do without!

So as they say catch you later, and as I say have a scrappy one.

Susan. Oxoxo.

PN. This is done on the iPad....so please make allowances for me.

The Melting Pot Workshop

"WINGS and HEARTS"

This is a Workshop given a while ago by Janine at Scrap-Delight. The canvas is to be seen in the store in real life...with Janine's sample.

This was a fun and informative workshop as you can see by the end results, we got to  play a lot. You know, the  stuff you want to do, but don't have the time to experiment and play. So it pays to book  play time for your self....you are worth it!...

A few details of this project. Lots of glimmer mist and flowers. The wings are made with a mold and UT. The color is pearl, which gives it a soft finish and I thought it did not need any thing more.

The cotton tape bow and flowers are  sprayed with Glimmer Mist. In places glitter added for that bling bling thing we all love..most of us that is. You can see the feather and the bees wax used with The Crafter's wWorkshop masks. Amazing what you can do with this product. There are no limits...only your own imagination....

Aren't these Martha Stewart butterfly punches a winner?... every time... and timeless. 

I have found them a great investment. I'm not yet board with them.

Just love all the texture,all that lace tape and flowers

I look back on this Work Shop with a lot of pleasure. Thanks Janine and Scrap-Delight.

I hope you all had a scrappy weekend...the weather here sure has been scrappy....I think our summer has been and gone!

Have a scrappy one...till next time....
