Frozen Charlotte/Stamp Resin with Amazing Crafting Products

Hello and Happy Friday!

Tina here today with our monthly Amazing Crafting Products feature.  Each month, we feature ACP products in combination with our current month kit for more Amazing projects!

Today, I am sharing a video tutorial on how I created this super fun ATC cards, using ACP Mold Putty and Amazing Casting Resin.

Before we get to the video tutorial, here's a couple of close-ups of my ATC cards!

And the video!

So what do you think about creating a mold from your stamps?  What a fun and creative idea!

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial today!  Thank you for stopping by!

Now or Never....

Hello and Happy Tuesday!

Tina here today with an Art Journal page!

I'm not sure if you've had a chance to play with the Clearprint vellum yet, but if you get the chance, please do.  I really love the light weight feel of the paper, yet it handles all mediums very well.  I've had no torn or ripped paper, and I have been embracing the 'wrinkling' effect when it becomes wet.

To start, I taped 2 sheets together (with Artist tape) to create a larger canvas.

I added some ephemera to the background, by adhering it with Matte Medium.

I started adding color with Fresco Finish paint, and Fireworks spray.  Love how these 2 look together.

I also added Pumpkin Soup (Fresco Finish Paint), and some stamping for texture.

Once I create a base background, I hand-drew randomly shaped squares on my page.

I colored the shapes in with several colors of wax pastels and blended a bit.

I decided I didn't like the bold colors of the wax pastels, so I watered down Cotton Candy (Fresco Finish Paints) and painted in the squares.  You can still see peeks of bright color through the paint.

I also outlined the squares with a Stabilo All pencil and de-fused the line with water.

I continued to add texture and layers with more stamping, doodling, and painting.

And some close-ups of the yummy layers!

And the finished page!    Love the color and simplicity of this page.

I hope you enjoyed my piece of art!  What have you created recently?

Thank you for stopping by!

Altered Paintbrush!

Hello and Happy Saturday!  Tina here today with a quick post!

Today, I'd like to share with you an altered Paintbrush, created with wonderful PaperArtsy Fresco Finish paints, Fireworks spray, and several bits and pieces from my personal stash.

(p.s. - we have MANY additional colors of the Fresco Finish paints in the Frog Dog Studio store.  I love the matte, chalky finish of this paint)

To begin my project, I sprayed the brush and chipboard embellishments with a good coat of Spray Gesso.  (love this stuff). 

I then built texture with simple Drywall tape, from the local Hardware store.  This stuff is fantastic because it is self-adhesive and full of fun.

I then added several colors/layers of Fresco Finish paints (and a spritz or 2 of Fireworks spray) to the brush and embellishments and let dry.

For more texture, I added random bits of Grunge Paste (this paste is much thicker in consistency than 'normal' modeling paste, but is great for awesome texture)

Then more layers of paint, spray, gesso, and Lindy's Magicals.  (from my stash) . 

Once the brush and chipboard embellishments were colored to my liking, I filled the inside of the heart embellishment with Amazing Crafting Product clear resin and Iced Enamels Shattered Opals. 

I glued it all together and added a ribbon to match.  I LOVE how this project turned out and would love to create an entire wall of altered brushes for my Creative Room.  Wouldn't that be cool?

Thanks for taking the time to stop by today!  Have a gorgeous weekend!

'A Blank Canvas' April Edition.

Hello and Happy Friday!

Tina here today with my April Edition of 'A Blank Canvas'.   Each month, I share my creative process on how I transform a blank sheet of chipboard into a Mixed Media layout, using the current month's kit supplies!

Let's take a peek at my layout.

I completely fell in love with Alumidust,  an Amazing Crafting Products, support product.  It's original intended use, is for Fishing Lures, etc., but that never stopped a crafter!  No way!

I used several shades of Alumidust and Metallic Powders on my layout to create AMAZING texture and color!

Here's several close-ups before we get to the Video Tutorial!

I hope you enjoy my creative process.

We would love to see what you've created with the April Kit(s).  Please share them on our Facebook page.

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great day!
