Altered Sign

Hi there

I am in the altering mood these days. After altering the small configuration box, I altered these wood signs. My purpose is to make them look grungy but still in vivid color. The color theme I used is shown below:

It is August Color Challenge in Life. Paper. Scrapbook website. I am entering these signs to the challenge.

Here are the signs I altered:

Altered Small Configuration Box

Hi Crafters

This week, I created a small configuration box and I am also entering this project to Berry71bleu's August Textile Challenge. The fabric or textile material I used is cheese cloth. This little box is actually from the Tim Holtz configuration box. This is such a fun project to do. Because it's not a huge configuration box or shadow box, so you won't get tired of doing it. I spent about three hours doing it, mainly because I was taking time thinking about what I was going to do. In my brains, I had too many different plans, and it's hard to decide what plan I am going to do, lol.I love the idea of having two wires sticking out from the box. They make the box so much more dimensional. 

Product list:

Prima Almanac 6*6 paper pack

A small box from Tim Holtz configuration box

Prima chalk inks: Old pink, white, and rusty keys
Graphic 45 metal butterfly
Prima bird nest
Recolleciton flower
Lindy's stamp gang starburst spray: Cotton candy pink, red hot poker orange

A Small Joann CRAFTY HAUL

Hi there :)

Today I made a short video on my recent trip to Joann. I got some awesome stuff for very good price (because everything is on sale right now,lol). All the stuff I got costs me $26.90, which is not bad at all.  I got some super nice paper pack, wooden embellishment, and stuff I can alter. Anyways, I am very happy about the stuff I got and can't wait to create with them.

"Use Your Stash"--Altered Tag: Butterfly

Hi there,

I have started a series called "Use Your Stash". We all have something in our stash we don't like or we don't know what to do. In this project, I used some blue flowers in my stash that I really don't like. The flowers are originally denim blue, but I gessoed them and sprayed them with this awesome ocean blue color. The background was stamped first and embossed with white embossing powder. Then I sprayed it with some glimmer mist and stamped it again with a script stamp.

Here is the start-to-fish video:

Product used:

Faber Castell PITT artist pen

Recollections script stamp

Stampendous--Detail White embossing powder

Lindy's Stamp Gang Star Burst Spray:

Mixed Media Art Journal Share: Fly Like A Bird

Recently I am in a moving process and super busy at work...Anyways, I just do not have time to craft... However, art journal is a faster way for me satisfy some of my crave for crafting. This is not the best booking art journal, but at least I had a lot of fun doing it. Hope you enjoy it too.

1. Gesso your background. I gessoed over a doodle I did that I don't like. So, I just covered it..

2. Use a stamp of multiple stamps to stamp all over your page. Right now it looks very overwhelming because of all the stamping. But after you put colors and drawing on your page, only a some of the stamping will show up. Oh, and it is for adding extra texture to the page.

3. Add your favorite color

4. I used texture paste to add additional texture and I paint over my page with water-downed gesso to make the background not so bright. And I drew a bird too..

5. I added some green color to the page just because I like green. lol 

I also paint over the bird with gesso so I can paint the bird more easily.

6. I painted the bird, added some journaling, rubbed some rub-on, and added a piece of paper at the button of the page to represent ground.

Stay Creative :)
