Stampotique Altered Vinyl Record

Hello! Hi!  Today I'm showing you my process on altering this Vinyl Record.

I start by using a Stamperia stencil and modeling paste

 I get all my bits and bobs out and give them all a good layer of white Gesso

I'll have the links below with everything I used,the foliage is from a Tim Holtz die set. 

Now I start my composition by gluing it all down with gel medium.

                                         Now for Color!!!! Its always my most favorite part!

I went super colorful with this one! I used Dylusions some  Cosmic Shimmer Shakers and Tattered Angels color wash

Now here I add white dry brush. When your using colors that are water reactive you really need to make sure the whole thing is super dry!

I added Oh Jackie and then some white splashes and call her done!

Time Flies Etcetera Tag

          Hello! Happy Monday! Today I'm Showing you how I made A Tim Holtz ETCETERA tag

I love these Tags!

I used the Ahead of or Time stamps set from Visible Image!

I started off with a nice layer of white crackle paste around the edges

set it aside so it can dry some

Now I covered my Tag with tim holtz papers Dapper and lost and found,distressed the edges with a pair of scissors and added some dry wall tape I got from my local harware store.

More paper and more distressing, I also added a layer oc cheese clothe.

Here are my stamped images, I stamped on white paper embossed with black,and used Tim Holtz distress ink in Vintage Photo .

more layeres, cheese clothe,lacey ribbon more Tim Holtz paper.

Here I start to assemble, I stamped my tag with the same stamp and layed my fussy cut image on top with foam tape, I also used some Instant coffee to drip on the tag for a vintage old look.

I took these gold wings and brushed on the bronzed age wax from finnabair, I just adore these waxes! I use them whenever I have the chance! This picture shows the wing on the right with the wax and the wing on the left without.

Here I have glued down my wings using heavy gel, and am attaching the vortex clock with foam tape. you can see were I used the little bird stamp from this set on the top, It will align with the clock once attached.

Here I embossed some cogs and gears with metallic embossing powder

adding bulap ribbon and some white splashes with watered down gesso, Its all done! I hope you like my tag! Ill have some links below on where to find some of these products!

Altered Dress Form

Hi! Hello! Happy Monday!! Today I'm sharing with you My altered dress form! Quite large, Coming in at over 18 inches tall! Lets just jump right to it!

 Here is the dress form in its plain `ol Glory

                   Next I started added layers Of Finnabairs Patina Effect Paste with a sponge dabber To just the top half of the dress form.

At this point I set her aside and started on the wings,I grabbed an old box and cut it into the shape I wanted.I could have cut it as one whole piece but my box wasn't big enough.I then used some large brads and fastened them together and stuck some E600 in between for good measure.

 Next I used and old Hymnal Book and cut out Feathers with a spellbinders feather die,any old book would do just fine though.

Using Mod Podge I Glued them suckers on the front and back

After using my heating tool to speed up the drying I covered the whole thing with Clear Gesso

and Gel Stain made by ArtC. But the options here are endless! 

I then spritzed it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray (Steampunk Sepia) 

This next step is for her top, I used paper from Tim Holtz 12x12 Dapper paper collection.Aren't these ruler papers just perfect? I glued them down on some thick chipboard using some tombow glue, after cutting them to my desired length I used a sanding block and ruffed up the edges

Taking old lace ribbon, that's actually new lace ribbon from my local dollar tree and tied some brown and black lace tulle onto it for a grungy looking tutu.

Cutting a whole in her stomack I used thick twine and sewed in a couple stitches for her wings. I made a big enough flap to get my hand in there to pull the twine through. I also added some heavy body gel in between her back and the wings to make sure they were nice and sturdy. I added yellow brads to the wholes to give it a more intentional look.

ANNNNNDDDD this is where I forgot to take pictures But I can still walk ya through

I lined up my measuring tape/rulers and glued them in place with heavy body gel cut a thin piece of tulle and rapped it around her waist. I wanted something there to hold the Measuring tape/rulers in place until the glue dried all the way. I decided to keep it after a wile of debating.I tied her tutu around her waist and she was ready for embellishments!

Using heavy body gel I added some cogs and gears,some of finnabairs clock parts,Flowers and butterflies 

right here is her lovely cleavage! using heavy gel again I spred it out all along where her top meets her chest area and sprinkled seed beads,glitter,mica flakes and sequins (basicaly anything shiny that was setting on my desk)

And the last thing was added this Faux lightbulb, I just cut a whole slapped some heavybody gell and pushed it in there!! Thats It!

I hope you all enjoyed my little tutorial and first blog post!
