This year has been a bear at work from the beginning and it's not looking like it will let up, so I've decided to step down from my DT position. I wish it didn't come down to this.
The SCACD DT sisters are tops and I will miss their love & creations! Susana has been so kind & supportive & generous. I will continue to follow & purchase from SCACD - due to Susana's top notch service and the awesome products she carries - from stamps to the ultra fab mixed media stuff she brings in!
So today's post & creation are dedicated to Susana & the DT sisters!
I've been wanting to do a layout for a while now, but never found the time. I created this in the wee hours of this morning. Wish I could have done more (I'm kicking myself now thinking I should have added "this" and "that", lol). And sorry for the dark photos - the sun was not quite up when I snapped them.
I'm not sure what 12x12 paper I used as my background - it was a distressed white/yellow sheet. I began by using my Dylusions Ink Sprays over Dylusions stencils (Number Jumble and Letter Jumble) and Crafter's Workshop Circle Explosion & Chicken Wire stencils. Using various Memento inkpads, I stamped images from The Rays and Steampunk Clock Set and the Blank Canvas Wings Set. Using VersaMark Ink, I stamped a Blank Canvas Profiles image and embossed with Black Embossing Powder. Over that, I sprayed "Lemon Zest" Dylusion Ink Spray. I love the Dylusions Ink Sprays! I have quite a few other sprays/spritzes, but they don't show well over/through stencils...and I totally love the vibrant colors!
I then went to town decorating and adding anything/everything, lol. Lots of Tim Holtz goodness (Idea-Ology Mini Metal Gears, tapes, pearl charm, hanger, trims), Almanac Wood Buttons, Printery Clay Art Tiles, Hero Arts trims spritzed with Dylusions Ink Sprays, a Maya Road Vintage Pearl Butterfly Pin, huge brads poked through tulle from my stash, and various other trims from my stash. A lot of the items were rubbed with Distress Inks. Oh and a scrissors from the Maya Road "Sew Cute" Mini Chipboard Set which was painted over with Viva Decor "Silver" Precious Metals Paint.
I created the "Heart" letters by using chipboad letters, applying Claudine Hellmuth Studio Gesso, then painting with Luminarte Silks "Teal Zircon" and "Black Ice". When dry, I then went over the entire letters with Luminarte Silks "Ice" for overall shimmer. A piece of Idea-Ology Ball Chain was attached to the layout below the letters. The sentiment from Dylusions "Quintessential Quotes" was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink onto white cardstock, cut out, rubbed with distress inks, then adhered to the layout.
I used a Martha Stewart doily border punch on parts of the paper, then ripped the rest of the borders, distressed like crazy, and used "Black Soot" and "Vintage Photo" distress inks on them. I then adhered to a black Bazzill 12x12 cardstock. The last thing I did was create pearls of varying sizes using my Viva Decor "Anthracite" Pearl Pen. I think that's it, lol.
