Mini Layering Stencil Binder

It seems forever since I blogged, and I've made literally 20 projects in the last month, but I just haven't gotten around to blogging them...bad blogger!!! Mostly because I have been cleaning and purging my crafty cave, and it looks so awesome now...pics later. Anyway, here is a stencil binder to house my new Tim Holtz Mini Layering Stencils to go along with my larger one, using the new Lady Rose from Tim and Stamper's Anonymous.  The Crafty Scrapper is carrying both binder sizes in the store if you interested in purchasing one.

I misted manila tags cut to size, with Antique Linen Distress Spray Stain.

I added some stenciling with a few of the mini stencils using Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink.

I added some stamping, and then used a Workable Fixative to hold all my Distress goodies in place. Normally, I would use Distress Micro Glaze, but since the area was bigger I used the spray.

I inked the binders with Aged Mahogany and stamped around them.

I stamped the images in Jet Black and heat emboss them using Clear Powder, and then attached the tags to the binder.

Then I water colored in the images with a Water Brush and Distress Markers, and followed with the sentiment and embellishments. I colored the Heirloom Roses with Alcohol Ink. 

That's it for today. Tomorrow, I am off to Houston for the International Art Materials Association annual show (NAMTA). I'll be demoing Ken Oliver's Color Burst in the Canvas Corp. Booth. I am so excited, and I'll try to snap photos for my Facebook Page, but you all know how bad I am at doing that...yikes...I will try. Thanks for all the support and encouragement everyone!!!

12 Tags Of 2016 Remix - February

Don't you just love Tim's February tag for the 12 Tags of 2016? I sure do, and judging by all the gorgeous entries, you do too!!! It has my favorite color scheme...reds, browns, black, and ivory, and I LOVE to make Valentines! So I had to do the same thing, and only changed up the ephemera. I love that he remixed the Monoprint and Embossed Texture Paste...two of my favorite techniques...doing the tag. I enjoyed both of those the last time we did them, and my St. Patrick's Day embossed texture paste tag from last year was one of my favorites because of the technique...something I had never done before, and it WOWed me! I loved the monoprint technique too, and used it for July 4th back in 2014. I now use both of these a lot, and would never have thought about doing them on my own...that is the beauty of Tim's whole tag series, learning the new!!! Thanks Tim!

FYI...the tag is not attached to the brown paper. I only used it for photos so it wouldn't drown behind that gorgeous Valentine motif paper.

I had to make lots of Valentines too, so I cheated and used Tim's background to make a masterboard to make several other cards, instead of coming up with my own design...thanks Tim!!!

I had these old ephemera playing cards, and had just enough for everything so I used them. I also altered some Sizzix Movers and Shapers die cuts with inking and stamping from my favorite Love Struck Valentine set from Tim and Stampers Anonymous, and then covered everything with a thin layer of Crackle Accents to give shine, and a crazing vintage feel...I NEED some of Tim's new Collage Medium Crazing stuff!!!!

I broke out the new Mirrored Hearts, and gave them a coloring with Red Pepper Alcohol Ink from Ranger. LOVE them!

 

 

 

 I was able to make six cards from the masterboard. I LOVE how they came out.

This one is for my honey, who is also a Valentine birthday boy!

Happy Love Day to all of you!!! I appreciate every single one of you, and a big hug to those of you who always comment and support me! My cup really does runneth over!!! I hope you all receive some yummy chocolates too!!!
