OUCH! - Frosted Designs Challenge Journaling plus One

Happy, Happy, Friday everyone!!

What are your plans for the weekend?
I am doing a Make N Take all day tomorrow- so much fun!!

Today, however, I have a project to share with your for
FROSTED DESIGNS,,

It is Lori's turn to host the challenge and
she has chosen Hand Writing + 1- Paint/Mist/Ink

Here is a look at my project,,,

I have used FabScraps papers, Blue Fern Studios chipboard,
Wendy Vecchi Stamp/Stencil combo, Fiskars punch, 7 Gypsies Stamps,
Quick Quotes Powder Puffs Inks and my Cameo.

For my pennants, I used the Little Yellow Bicycle wood pieces from the
Season Of Stars Scrapbook Kit - but I turned them over and inked them with
Biscotti Powder Puff Ink to match my color scheme.
I used my Cameo to cut my title, it is cut from double sided tape applied to cardstock,
then burnished with micro fine black glitter.

I used my beloved 7 Gypsies journal stamp set along with the Biscotti Ink to
accent this corner- you know I can't take any white space!!

I am so in love with these stamp/stencil combos from Wendy Vecchi - they
are amazing!! I have used Dylusions and Perfect Pearls here to color
my stamped image. I accented with the Signo White Pen.

Frosted Designs Mixed Media December Kit Reveal & Tutorial

Love, love , love the blues on the Christmas lines this year. 

I used a LOT of spray ink on this layout- the doily was pretty much

soaked with the Heidi Swapp Gold Color Shine.

 I layered several die cuts next to my photo. For my background I used a stencil, Molding Paste, Gelatos® and glitter -there is a tutorial below.

Here is a close-up of the background. I wrapped this beautiful sparkly tulle around

my paper for more dimension. The wooden stars were sprayed with the Perfect Pearls Forever Red.

For my title I painted chipboard first with acrylic paint, then I sprayed with the Perfect Pearls Forever Red and the Gold Color Shine. It is a little hard to see the gold in the photo, but it is pretty visible in person!

For the flowers, I sprayed them with the Gold Color Shine first, then spread Frosted Lace Stickles

around the edges of the petals.The chipboard snowflakes were covered 

with the Stickles and while wet I added some bling.

I used a gold paint pen on the edge of the paper that you see here. For the texture on top of the buttons, I mixed gloss gel, glitter, and beads and spread on top.

I added the Stickles in the corners of the papers.

I sprayed the tiniest, tiniest bit of Forever Red ink on the corner here.

Seriously, I held the paper like 2 feet from the sprayer and misted one time. 

I just wanted a little blush of color there.

Tutorial:

For the background here are the steps:

I put a small amount of my Gelatos® on my paper and mixed with Molding Paste.

I spread this over my stencil and while the stencil was still in place,,,,,

I sprinkled my glitter on and pressed it into the paste. 

Ta-da!  This is a super easy technique and you will love how it looks. 

For the texture on top of the buttons, I mixed Gloss Gel, beads, and Diamond Dust Glitter together.

 Put a piece of scrap paper over your photo and spread the mixture all over. I put mine on

pretty heavy, but you can always put less. Put it aside to dry overnight. In the morning I

gave it a spritz with the Gold Color Shine.
