Since Father's Day is just around the corner here in the U.S.A., I decided to make an 8x10 wood panel plaque for the man in my life, my hubby, and even though he is not my father, I am sooooooooo happy he is the father of my babes!
I absolutely LOVE all the texture on this from the technique, and I learned some things along the way. This is one of those projects you want to feel and touch, as the photos do not do it justice. If you haven't done this tech yet, I promise you will love it, and do try experimenting with different stencils and pastes. Sorry I have no step outs on this one, but I got so lost in the pleasure of the creating that I totally forgot to snap photos...that is how fabulous this technique is...plus I really got to get my grunge and vintage on which is my passion. Hope you enjoy!

Cabinet Cards and Found Relatives are my new passion too!

 

 

 

 

 

Happy Father's Day out there to all the wonderful men with babes!!!

12 Tags of 2014 - May

True to form, I've left my May tag for Tim's 12 Tags of 2014, until the last minute! Why oh why do I wait until the end of the month when I am so stoked to see the tag at the beginning of the month, and can't wait to play??? I hope some of you can relate!

I think I took nearly 100 pictures of the whole tag in various locations, under different lighting, etc., but I just could not get the right look on tag. The pictures do not do it justice. Sorry. The close up photos are much better though.

I used Tim's Wrinkle Resist technique for the base of my tag. I know what you are thinking if you follow my blog a lot...PINK??? Yes...I felt the need for pink for some reason!

I wanted to use all the eye images in my Tim arsenal. I think I achieved that. I love the new Debossing Folders...so fun!
