RaWr it's a Birthday Dinosaur!

Been playing..i love watching Tim Holtz Saturday Facebook Videos.
I have watched the same on with Alcohol Lift tons of times.
Meanwhile, last Saturday, Tim went back to his roots of crafting.
He showed how to crumple up one of his tags and simply ink it with the standard Distress Ink.
Then he sprayed it with water and ironed it.
So, i have yet to purchase a Tim Holtz tag to craft with and so i took out my Gray Tone paper pad, ripped out a sheet and cut it in half.
That is what started this card..and this is what it evolved into.

I am using a Tim Holtz Sizzix Die - (dinosaurs) 664155

However, i used a bunch more Tim Holtz Sizzix dies.
Happy Birthday - 660223

Foliage - 662702

Lavinia Stamps - Treasure Box

Hello everyone and happy Thursday!! 

It’s time for a new Lavinia World Challenge featuring Lavinia stamps.

          We are a bi-weekly Challenge Blog and the theme will be Anything Goes using stamps

(either rubber or clear, but no digi stamps). 

                               Details are found under the "rules" tab on the Challenge Blog.

 Lavinia World Challenge has a
NEW Facebook group called, Anything Lavinia (click here) 

 another place where you can enter the Lavinia World Challenge.
With one exception...

Your card/project must include anything Lavinia (stamps, papers)

if added to the Anything Lavinia Facebook group. 

For my project, I used
Lavinia Stamps - Finn LAV603
Lavinia Stamps - See a Fairy Make a Wish LAV485

I used VersaFine Clair - Nocturne for the fairy and Morning Mist for the sentiment
Both were embossed with clear embossing powder

A bit about what i did.  As you know if you have been following me, i like to recycle.

This was an Amazon box.  It is like a pizza box, but mini about 5.5".

I covered it in black gesso.  Then i pulled out a piece paper from We Are 3 Digital Paper -  Bird's View. I stamped the sentiment in the center and quickly stamped the fairy.  Then i heat embossed using clear embossing powder.

Next, i used a Tim Holtz stencil called Bubbles.   I used Distress Paper Texture - Crackle, just around the edges.

I quickly put embossing powder on top of it using Tim Holtz - Distress Glaze - Weathered Wood.

I let that dry until i saw cracking and then heat embossed it.

Next i adhered the paper/stamped image to the top of the box with mod podge.

Once that was dry i added Mod Podge to the top of the box.

Next i used some Art Alchemy Wax - Turquoise Satin and Rose Gold to accent the sides and top edges.

I pulled out some corrugated cardboard and cut out a circle and then cut another smaller circle to the side to make a crescent moon.  I wasn't happy with the thickness so i cut more off and ended up using that scrap as a inside shadow.   Both of those pieces were painted with black gesso.

Now, i waxed the "moon shadow" only.  Next i used the same stencil technique on the larger moon and once that was dry i accented with some wax.

I embellished the moon with some flowers and seashells.  I also added some Tim Holtz metal stars and some small gems for sparkle.

This is a "treasure box", but i decided to add a saw-tooth hanger in the back so i could also hang it up.

All i did was poke two holes where the nails would go in the cardboard box and used brads to adhere the hanger.

Beautiful Poppy Fairy is my Indian Maiden Princess Fairy!

Ching Chou Kuik's May Challenge just started!
The theme this month is “EMBOSSING – WET OR DRY OR BOTH”

You can find the blog challenge by clicking here!

Here is my card using Ching Chou Kuik image, Poppy Fairy

I have used Prismacolor Pencils to color this image.
For the embossing look,
I used a Tim Holtz stencil (floral) with Tim Holtz Distress Texture Paste - Crackle.
While the paste was wet i added Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Glaze - Tattered Rose.
Once the paste dried and crackled i heated it. 
This technique allows for some bubbling and more texture.
I added Tim Holtz Distress Oxide - Faded Jeans to distress all of the edges and the embossing.
Then i highlighted the raised embossed stencil design with Art Alchemy Wax - Firebird

Ching Chou Kuik image - Poppy Fairy available here.
