________________________________________________________________________

Here is my project for the blog hop…

And here is how I made it:

You will need:

• Creative Paperclay (R) – available in NZ at ZigZag.co.nz
• Amaizing Mold Putty
• Bead shaped similar to a berry shape
• Leaves from a plant
• Ink pads (light brown and dark brown)
• fave background stamp (I used the basket weave by Sandra Strait)
• Acrylic paints (Red and green)
• Black marker pen
• Glue
• small chain
• scissors and nail file

step 1: take the Mold Putty and with equal amounts of part A and Part B mix them together, then put the Leaves and beads into the Mold Putty.

follow package instructions.

Step 2: Take out your leaves and beads when Mold Putty is cured (see package instructions)

look at the amazing detail that you can get from natural leaves!

step 3: take some clay and make it onto a block for the background. Set aside to air dry.

step 4: take some more clay and put it into the mold you just made.

I often take out the clay carefully when it is wet but you can leave it to dry in the mold if you wish… it will just take longer to air dry. Set aside the wet clay to air dry for a few days.

step 5: Once the pieces are dry, cut and file the edges to your desired edge design. I like the edges smooth others like it rough.

Step 6: Paint up the pieces – and put in detailing with the black marker pen.

step 7: once the background rectangle is dry ink the background directing applying the lighter brown ink pad to the piece all over… then Stamp the background image with darker brown ink pad.

Then finally stick all your pieces onto your base and you are done!

Art doll made with Art Tiles

Hi all
You could almost call this part two of my last post…. I have done more experimenting….

And ended up with this…

I made the head from molding a barbie head with Amazing Mold Putty and putting Creative Paperclay in the mold to get it.
I drilled it with Fiskars Craft drill once dry to put the chain through it.
I then stamped and coloured it. Below it is a scripture panel made of Delight clay 1 3/4″ x 3 3/4″ in size. Stuck paper on it printed from my printer and stamped/coloured that.

The middle section: 1 3/4″ square Delight clay art tile stamped and coloured.
The small art tiles are made with Delight clay and are the size of Prima Art Tiles.
Stamped and coloured by me.
Larger art title is the same size as the top one. Also Delight clay… it air dries to a soft stiff sponge type material… Great to stamp on.

Bottom section are Art tiles made with Terri Sproul Mixers and 3D crystal lacquer in molds made with Amazing Mold Putty. finished off with found chains, keys and jewelery findings.

Really different for me aye. But I LOVED making this art doll with a difference.
Thanks for dropping by!

Art tiles, scrapbooking, stamping

Hi all
Here I am making my own embellishments again.
About then 8th of January this year I was taken by the CHA release of Primas art tiles and started moulding some from packaging…. And delight clay.

Well I haven’t done much with them up until now… And I really grossly underestimated the size of them. I really thought they were bigger than 3/4″ square. I mean they are so tiny!
My molds where 1 3/4″ square and 3 1/4″ x 1 3/4″ in size.

But I have been playing with them any way today and this is what I came up with….

Yes I do have the original art tiles by Prima (won them) but I cannot get hold of them in NZ without paying for postage on top…. I haven’t seen them anywhere else. But they could be in town, just haven’t looked lately.

I used stampin up! Crumb cake with a shaving brush…. Also known as an ink brush.

I bought the above in pack n save supermarket for under $3 here in New Zealand. All I did was trim off the dome of the brush to make it flat on top.
Then after I brushed crumb cake on top I stamped the script stamp by Montarga stamps (local shop), then other stamps from various companies on top in black. Then sponged the sides with stampin ups early espresso.

They turned out PERFECT! I am so excited!
I’ll be moulding some more. Some small, some my sizing.
Hope you give it a go making your own tiles.
Delight clay works best as it is easily stamped, coloured and very light weight with a little bit of give in it for stamping and can be trimmed with scissors. It’s like a foam type substance when air dried.

Well better go.

Layouts and cards – no creative block here!

A4 layouts, greeting cards, scrapbooking, stampo, viva las vagas stamps

Hi all over several days I have been creating…..
First of all over at FiskarsCraft.typepad.com there is a sketch and here is my layout example

Done with Prima products and Fiskars tools – for a full list go to the blog. Link above.

I also did these layouts of last years snow….

Free paper from a Australian scrapbook ideas mag and my hand made organza flower, with Bella! Bling.

All apart from the blue paper behind the photo is Prima product.
Butterflies are punched out with Fiskars butterfly lever punch.
Here are some detail shots…

And I also did some cardmaking…..

I inked up the stamp in several colours, then sprayed lightly with water, stamped then dried and then added more colour on lip and orange on the hat.
I dry embossed around the image by putting the image up to the light, draw around the image on the back then using an embossing stylus I traced the line around the back and then turned it over and the edge of the image was embossed.

Did similar to the below card too….

Well that’s about it for now.
Most of the snow has melted now… So maybe a normal cold with no snow winter is on the adjenda for us from now on? Just hope the earth doesn’t shake anymore.
Thanks for dropping by.

Easter creativity canvas

altered canvas, canvas, Easter, scrapbooking, Terri Sproul mixers

Hi I’ve been experimenting.
First up here is the finished project.

I used Tim Holts mini masks and a cuttlebug butterfly cut from clear packaging for a mask too.
I also used normal common DIY masking tape and some book pages gessoed over in the background.

Flowers used are from Prima Marketing. Orange dots are rain dots by cloud 9 design.

These half eggs are made with putting delight clay into the packaging of what some Easter eggs came in. They are all pained with either Terri Sproul mixers mixed with 3d crystal lacquer or drops of inks from re inkers in the lacquer.

Tried different styles
To blue egg is steam punk style stamped on delight clay then re-stamped over the TS mixers. Then watch parts stuck into it and one step crackle paint on top with burnt umber acrylic paint to make the cracks stand out.

Second egg is drawn with black marker pen, coloured with TS mixers and red reinker. Then the crackle paint etc over top. More of a traditional design.

The third egg is my first Zentangle design ever drawn. Drawn with black marker pen and coloured with TS mixers and red reinker.

Third egg is done the same as the second egg. Most eggs done with one step crackle and brown acrylic paint. My new loves in products.

Well as you see heaps of different techniques and experimenting with different styles. All in one project…. It just developed that way.

Thanks for dropping by. Hope you are having a great Easter.
