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!

Crackle Paste

Heart Of Thorns!

Today I bring you My Heart of Thorns Canvas! I really had fun making this one and it now resides on                                        my living room wall!

Oh, Did I mention I meant a real heart? LOL I love it!

I got out all my Grunge looking embellishments, and cut up a cracker box to make a smaller box to be centered in the middle of the canvas

I used Dina Wakley Media White Gesso to cover the box.

After the gesso dried I used Finnabairs White Crackle paste to add some texture to the box

Adding more gesso to all my chosen embellishments

my resin heart I just used some plain old red acrylic paint dried  it and used watered down black acrylic over top and blotted off. I just kept adding black and blotting off until I liked the outcome.

another pic of my loved heart!

Now for the canvas! I crinkled up some gold tissue paper and attached it with Mod Podge.

I took more white gesso and did a heavy dry brush on it.

Here I'm starting To add My embellishments using Heavy body gel.

Now I'm lightly adding my color I used Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays in Rusty Lantern Lime,

Screamin Banshee Black, Shabby Turbine Teal, and Steampunk Sepia. Also Prima Color Bloom in Glistening Waves. I sprayed my canvas down with water added my colors and blot with a baby wipe until I got what I was looking for.

Up close look of that Crackle past effect! love it

used heavy gel to add my pipes and hearts, I'm also using watered down Finnabairs rust pastes to add around the edges off some of the pieces.

I used watered down gesso to splatter white all over, This is one of my favorite techniques!

I also added Nuvo Crystal drops  and some gold texture paste with a stencil as an after thought.

And it's all done! Hope you enjoyed it! I will add links to some of the product I used down below. Until next time!
