<span style="color: #b45f06;">LET THE ADVENTURE BEGIN LAYOUT</span></h2>
<div>
<span style="color: #b45f06;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hello everyone! <a href="http://buffylongard.blogspot.ca/">Monica</a> here - I am a day late with my June project. Not even sure why but I guess my day got away from me. But I hope you can forgive me when I show you the project I did this month. I did a layout and thought I would show you what I did to make it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The theme this month was Graduation - with the twist of travel. I have to admit, this month's theme really stumped me for the longest time. I searched Pinterest to see if I could find some quotes and when I put in the words graduation and travel I found this great quote - "Let the Adventure Begin". I thought this would be a great starting point. And then I remembered that my oldest niece was graduation from Grade 9 this year and I found some fun paper with a travel theme and I was off!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started off by picking some great map paper for my background - I want my niece to travel the world and see everything she can as she grows up! I even found this great graduation cap that I altered with a great tassel to use on the project as well.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiorxI1A6uyJLybciITzz1jafAk34Z4vwXhW9dRI18t0I7cViKDTouyVtaHms9rJyXNeXLze8NFRqItY5lPTGyDfIxrnYy6gy1-59TShRagcfZwzgqD-n6aUXWq1BcFLb5Lqm_qGTP65ys8/s1600/starting+out.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="570" data-original-width="960" height="190" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiorxI1A6uyJLybciITzz1jafAk34Z4vwXhW9dRI18t0I7cViKDTouyVtaHms9rJyXNeXLze8NFRqItY5lPTGyDfIxrnYy6gy1-59TShRagcfZwzgqD-n6aUXWq1BcFLb5Lqm_qGTP65ys8/s320/starting+out.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next step was to use the different pieces of the paper I wanted - I cut out and inked the globe section, and tore/inked the other map section and mounted them on some basic brown card stock. I used pop dots to layer the paper so the page has dimension. I also used some burlap paper and inked it with a Paris stamp I had to create more texture and depth.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhri6rMXeixIU-ITSyfeNjWHXSqQ6IY9A9b4LyKJn9lH9Kq3-8mPe4HIhyphenhyphenCIPCVICT3E-ifhfn1jTlplsqCfh8dPoUQyRuz0eouu1eRo_2CddfzaD73yoAOEMSTQerTnO5wrISPmb1Lr-OZ/s1600/texture.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="937" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhri6rMXeixIU-ITSyfeNjWHXSqQ6IY9A9b4LyKJn9lH9Kq3-8mPe4HIhyphenhyphenCIPCVICT3E-ifhfn1jTlplsqCfh8dPoUQyRuz0eouu1eRo_2CddfzaD73yoAOEMSTQerTnO5wrISPmb1Lr-OZ/s320/texture.jpg" width="312" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then wanted to add even more texture to the page, so added some texture paste through a stencil on several sections of the page.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnkVscuajfibBZFm4lzHxkj35bcRKx3RmaP-6xNPU-5e6k5c_4jZyjqSJbgmXoprn21hpaUQERshYPxcOALst25BHfKFQAfobfr-3NaZIupsLzqzvjKL7xrsxRfM-K0e70t9C5th6xMpJ7/s1600/texture+close+up.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="960" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnkVscuajfibBZFm4lzHxkj35bcRKx3RmaP-6xNPU-5e6k5c_4jZyjqSJbgmXoprn21hpaUQERshYPxcOALst25BHfKFQAfobfr-3NaZIupsLzqzvjKL7xrsxRfM-K0e70t9C5th6xMpJ7/s320/texture+close+up.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a close up of some of the texture paste.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkHN17ZpLQu1h5Kl02ezZQMGnI3OiPnJAX3CxHcC5CP56AeTU0FVhhH8HAqY4MbXcRjQhrTi9bNBFaABr-lwo7DmdF1th6gQkUV2phEXNfZHCCeYVjqIvq2BVb7UizNRi_FA1X3Cu8RkLa/s1600/layout.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="841" data-original-width="960" height="280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkHN17ZpLQu1h5Kl02ezZQMGnI3OiPnJAX3CxHcC5CP56AeTU0FVhhH8HAqY4MbXcRjQhrTi9bNBFaABr-lwo7DmdF1th6gQkUV2phEXNfZHCCeYVjqIvq2BVb7UizNRi_FA1X3Cu8RkLa/s320/layout.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
At this stage I added the picture of my niece I wanted to use for the layout. She is such a fantastic girl and takes some interesting photos! I didn't even have to work to accent the photo as she did that part for me - very creative that girl!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCLn_kshIVZR4nuR7Lfu6t4Po1lN9wvu2Rb86USy0OihfDQClM5N_mlWO6ymYJI6DihVriMHIF0U-zKa4h0Sd0aEVABJJoPKoElyyvqd0GOuDjVjmfCs7sMllhUzKCvAqxDmu8w3GT-e-i/s1600/girl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="552" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCLn_kshIVZR4nuR7Lfu6t4Po1lN9wvu2Rb86USy0OihfDQClM5N_mlWO6ymYJI6DihVriMHIF0U-zKa4h0Sd0aEVABJJoPKoElyyvqd0GOuDjVjmfCs7sMllhUzKCvAqxDmu8w3GT-e-i/s320/girl.jpg" width="184" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My next step for the project was to add one of my Julie Nutting stamps - I wanted to bring some other colour into the page and since my niece loves green I chose these colours. This stamp also reminds me of Madison - so fun and carefree!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaB5zgF_KgzLMk7rZzXp1EdUIt2gkN-RnSk7Pp6C-TWbWh8Fq-n38GIa0LafuhMhgrMQBuKuxEpJdJ5Nrv7PvHkspDSyKEDfvNMqVUmqZecJq-ac-Q-zxfZX9wmloDFEn1MbowZDB-B4oa/s1600/grad+girl.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="551" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgaB5zgF_KgzLMk7rZzXp1EdUIt2gkN-RnSk7Pp6C-TWbWh8Fq-n38GIa0LafuhMhgrMQBuKuxEpJdJ5Nrv7PvHkspDSyKEDfvNMqVUmqZecJq-ac-Q-zxfZX9wmloDFEn1MbowZDB-B4oa/s320/grad+girl.jpg" width="183" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Once coloured, I had to give her a cap and gown. I originally wanted her to wear the gown but that covered up too much of the girl so I had the gown behind her to accent her more.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabDVHAIS3C3W8EtALsvqEZ-tscKJ0Jq8DTfjtCIrGoN2APOjvEwPwytZfbB3ijCRyl14SA-YQQG4FmonqJmnH-54pKjYNoTtWDVUaQnjB1wEnmLqpblMbh1fV6r_Q0rYeUD9isvWbRER-/s1600/Let+the+Adventure+Begin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="862" data-original-width="960" height="286" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabDVHAIS3C3W8EtALsvqEZ-tscKJ0Jq8DTfjtCIrGoN2APOjvEwPwytZfbB3ijCRyl14SA-YQQG4FmonqJmnH-54pKjYNoTtWDVUaQnjB1wEnmLqpblMbh1fV6r_Q0rYeUD9isvWbRER-/s320/Let+the+Adventure+Begin.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The last stets were to add the girl to the page, along with the text for the quote. And then I was done - I had a finished layout! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I loved this challenge as I got to use embossing folders, Distress Inks, Embossing Powder and loads of great dies! So let's get started!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO3qCwbpJhH2YkQkf-cYSw70ft5JTjriR_2sJrKfFhSzmQQOX_2WUz-TzMjJzeB0_fCLFiXp54crmRA1LBG3S4Z4Lq1WTMQdKOhkr72EY6Lass3aUZ3rK6Xv8vSt7YG-OAxN2lO88BHu4/s1600/MMM+June.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="310" data-original-width="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgO3qCwbpJhH2YkQkf-cYSw70ft5JTjriR_2sJrKfFhSzmQQOX_2WUz-TzMjJzeB0_fCLFiXp54crmRA1LBG3S4Z4Lq1WTMQdKOhkr72EY6Lass3aUZ3rK6Xv8vSt7YG-OAxN2lO88BHu4/s1600/MMM+June.jpg" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I used an A7 card and embossed with Tim Holtz Embossing Folder. It has airmail emblems and airplanes on it! Great for a travel card! Then I used Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Aged Mahogany, Chipped Sapphire and Tea Die and went over the card after I had embossed the card.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu80IHC3AjWHPaZyrBsYaUveFNj7ZJnuW_0LzjmcKqcya29I15xMH2X7ECALf8y-r2lhp3mkyvwAkv-nyQXCVCrb0ybfef2BDnmDUEU7k9m2avhgbgflq0HjcEQLtQiq4oGjs801pgat0/s1600/MMM+June+tute+3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgu80IHC3AjWHPaZyrBsYaUveFNj7ZJnuW_0LzjmcKqcya29I15xMH2X7ECALf8y-r2lhp3mkyvwAkv-nyQXCVCrb0ybfef2BDnmDUEU7k9m2avhgbgflq0HjcEQLtQiq4oGjs801pgat0/s320/MMM+June+tute+3.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;">Then the fun began! I used Tim Holtz Frankenstein Die for my graduate, MFT Diploma Die, Tim Holtz postal envelope Die, Tim Holtz Mover's and Shakers Die for the Vintage Camera, Globe and Airplane and Tim Holtz Script travel words!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7cCgZyzXfW8WoRhJtvWJUdbEmLdooLCadWdsyAKt_EItolqZpWgYmwdkVwXU7g7YWgHHzc-_XzXhqrr1QKAv5rbkBteNj7MFmaIQYHRaFQBPo8Ls_Hw_-3R3TMyRRem4SPBWTpfiHdc/s1600/MMM+JUne+tute+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgm7cCgZyzXfW8WoRhJtvWJUdbEmLdooLCadWdsyAKt_EItolqZpWgYmwdkVwXU7g7YWgHHzc-_XzXhqrr1QKAv5rbkBteNj7MFmaIQYHRaFQBPo8Ls_Hw_-3R3TMyRRem4SPBWTpfiHdc/s320/MMM+JUne+tute+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
From there I colored in the Globe with Tim Holtz Distress Markers in Salty Ocean and Wild Honey. Then I embossed the globe and script words with clear embossing powder to make them stand out! I had to cut out the globe twice to get the silver for the outside frame of the globe and then for the globe itself.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-Pjnd_glP9OCGjOqEF8N_uQh74AEEgZNtXvPLBb4MZARNxoF6hruakLQ1O1jbC-732Sgh-kUIDu77-13HADLEetx-j-LIU9zUpslaBUrcnpp32ef1McIRIfxryFyDi4V3-fEBei6Wxo/s1600/MMM+june+tute.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjI-Pjnd_glP9OCGjOqEF8N_uQh74AEEgZNtXvPLBb4MZARNxoF6hruakLQ1O1jbC-732Sgh-kUIDu77-13HADLEetx-j-LIU9zUpslaBUrcnpp32ef1McIRIfxryFyDi4V3-fEBei6Wxo/s320/MMM+june+tute.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Here is the final card and I think it turned out great! This was a lot of fun to make!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Hello everyone,<br />
<br />
We're back today with a great tutorial and inspiration for the ongoing challenge.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhchxIvkS2iXF0zkuB1hBYQJZVy4C63uHp5lToQiFvUKO8Uk30L9I70kP4x0r6hBGcON-400cN6pAmboQceOvDlPEBfI3bBmkr9nmIx0elWRwFXcycbKxPtS0KeAduVvgUWbx4mQpPyqCE/s1600/June.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhchxIvkS2iXF0zkuB1hBYQJZVy4C63uHp5lToQiFvUKO8Uk30L9I70kP4x0r6hBGcON-400cN6pAmboQceOvDlPEBfI3bBmkr9nmIx0elWRwFXcycbKxPtS0KeAduVvgUWbx4mQpPyqCE/s1600/June.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today we'll take you through the process of creating a journal page.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First prep the page with white gesso.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHEyQCD7KIuZzauawKjtpoZCUophY1gI4iHz3IEQLD086Sux6bbMI6Mi4YXfVYveujNIY4q-MSdb9YnpwaxkdjXI9yvVdvamGBOk7aFRf1S6niD1BTLrAwfob3eM-KjF5wF3fV5M_UF5o/s1600/IMG_4796.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHEyQCD7KIuZzauawKjtpoZCUophY1gI4iHz3IEQLD086Sux6bbMI6Mi4YXfVYveujNIY4q-MSdb9YnpwaxkdjXI9yvVdvamGBOk7aFRf1S6niD1BTLrAwfob3eM-KjF5wF3fV5M_UF5o/s320/IMG_4796.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, use a stencil with modelling paste. We focused on the opposite corners. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH1CP3EYdDbaSBRduTVwahj3FMyphZ406Lk3iWEwK-eCCeS_B3Q8FQZfrbG9byZCEdGVt_PgaqxjefGHw2HYxQMZ65J4JDv34H8_hyphenhyphenN_smbU_MD3MENOQsp_cTdMOWsJR68LErkwxlT1w/s1600/IMG_4798.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhH1CP3EYdDbaSBRduTVwahj3FMyphZ406Lk3iWEwK-eCCeS_B3Q8FQZfrbG9byZCEdGVt_PgaqxjefGHw2HYxQMZ65J4JDv34H8_hyphenhyphenN_smbU_MD3MENOQsp_cTdMOWsJR68LErkwxlT1w/s320/IMG_4798.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We then used another stencil with the same paste for added texture.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0W3xHDYuYJuLRg12P-1a3PBnmC1TqZzXzRgE_1TEHX9d_ESz9-PA_yp1gwsjO2fHGPUeY0DyNZelQ7wJB4zYAfY4u7YYAFg9LpmlVM5qH_iyWi9Gc3l_oNyGs8OOc2kTitaGllCzNPoI/s1600/IMG_4800.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0W3xHDYuYJuLRg12P-1a3PBnmC1TqZzXzRgE_1TEHX9d_ESz9-PA_yp1gwsjO2fHGPUeY0DyNZelQ7wJB4zYAfY4u7YYAFg9LpmlVM5qH_iyWi9Gc3l_oNyGs8OOc2kTitaGllCzNPoI/s320/IMG_4800.JPG" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next, sprinkle some magicals and shaker powders and spritz them with water. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then layers all your elements and stick them.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hello all! I am <a href="http://buffylongard.blogspot.ca/">Monica</a> and I am back again this month with another tutorial for you on how I made my May design team project. This month I did a canvas for the theme of Celebration and the twist of wedding. So here is a basic tutorial on how I made the project.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9A3QZCoUajvtLANEnSVz3-O5-oxtIW1juQonjlhQMml3opAuf4jS0uZ8rZXutUnTl4UoFpPwF-HeJlRV1TcI6f57ytUMzHfldiHmyU7BLhBo_YMUXshpOVpO6LzseOqmWsyVP_73dFPDK/s1600/step+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="922" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9A3QZCoUajvtLANEnSVz3-O5-oxtIW1juQonjlhQMml3opAuf4jS0uZ8rZXutUnTl4UoFpPwF-HeJlRV1TcI6f57ytUMzHfldiHmyU7BLhBo_YMUXshpOVpO6LzseOqmWsyVP_73dFPDK/s320/step+1.jpg" width="307" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Step one of the canvas I just added some texture using modeling paste.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCnsDhyphenhyphenxqpFOBxHoQo479mUUCKAm6Bb6C-7orULV4JmreDjTDBMcms88ZXSpI1t8G-3_5MV3JX0RCRHqAWdz8VfczG73IhYjFdEXE21QjP4z511zrz70SetzzQJmf7cT9fNhnEIEp7c99/s1600/step+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgNCnsDhyphenhyphenxqpFOBxHoQo479mUUCKAm6Bb6C-7orULV4JmreDjTDBMcms88ZXSpI1t8G-3_5MV3JX0RCRHqAWdz8VfczG73IhYjFdEXE21QjP4z511zrz70SetzzQJmf7cT9fNhnEIEp7c99/s320/step+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then for the next step I added colour by spraying the canvas with some of the</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Prima Colour Bloom Sprays</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The colours I used for the sprays were Empress Gold, Tea Stain and Ginger Coral. The colours are quite vibrant when first sprayed but I wanted more muted colours so blotted off the excess with a paper towel to get the look I wanted.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHb4F16Ax-LfkOQjaFJkd9tNir7QsztI1jyO2RLDuD0532lye8C-6GD3EQXHlJK2gCF9DnKF9m_CPGwoRqijq9X01L1qMtnWPpsyrZFrSjOJKgOYyZYiLDCbe_oDYsET257RwjMf0ZAkuY/s1600/glitter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHb4F16Ax-LfkOQjaFJkd9tNir7QsztI1jyO2RLDuD0532lye8C-6GD3EQXHlJK2gCF9DnKF9m_CPGwoRqijq9X01L1qMtnWPpsyrZFrSjOJKgOYyZYiLDCbe_oDYsET257RwjMf0ZAkuY/s320/glitter.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added some shimmer using gold Glitter Dust spay</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkCzEVZF3arHIBAyqoN9H408rMhuvkIMtTJ2iFdVRJwmwKJGbMnNw1icuYr5BWXoI8ZfvuM1oe3GgRECUoBXnOQpPrG7Tayab6C05WT6LPKJXB135SznRcY-VImKkFTrVFyMAjtfDvD4CC/s1600/adding+dress+form.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="960" data-original-width="720" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkCzEVZF3arHIBAyqoN9H408rMhuvkIMtTJ2iFdVRJwmwKJGbMnNw1icuYr5BWXoI8ZfvuM1oe3GgRECUoBXnOQpPrG7Tayab6C05WT6LPKJXB135SznRcY-VImKkFTrVFyMAjtfDvD4CC/s320/adding+dress+form.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My next addition was the dress for for the wedding dress. I just cut out the dress form using my Tim Holtz Sewing Room Sizzix Die. I used chipboard and then adhered some basic text tissue to it before I cut it out. Then I added a white sparkly dress to it - I used the same die and just cut out the dress portions of it to make the dress.</div>

The next step was to add some more texture to the piece, so I used a brick stencil and added some of the new Finnabair Stone Effects Paste. I used the Concrete on as I wanted it to look like stone. I added it in a few places in larger sections and then cleaned off my pallet knife on the canvas in a few places (especially those with other texture already) just to add some of the concrete colour over the whole canvas and pull everything together. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next step was to finish off the wedding dress and I did that by using some nice white lace and the Finnabair Sculpture Medium. This medium dries clear but makes any softer or thinner material thicker and solid. I coated each piece of lace I had and then laid it down on the canvas in some wavy patterns (to make it look like the dress was blowing in the breeze) and then once the sculpture medium dried the lace stays in that shape.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then added some other elements to the dress - some ribbon, some glitter and a flower to finish it off.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a close up of the ribbon, lace and glitter. To finish off the canvas completely I added flowers and my title pieces in chipboard. I sprayed the "Celebrate" chipboard with one of my new Marabu Art Sprays (I used Gold) to give it a nice shimmer and bring out some of the colours in the other ephemera I added to the project. I finished off the project by adding some flowers and other bling.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;">It's <a href="http://amethystalcove.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Cathy</a> here today to share another wedding celebration! Have you shared your creation yet? Don't forget to celebrate...with the wedding twist! Make sure you add your link on the original post <a href="http://mixedmediamojo.blogspot.ca/2017/05/happy-may-thanks-to-those-who-played.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">This project I went fairly traditional! Not sure why, but I think it was due to this lovely couple from the TH Paper Dolls collection. I have never used 'people" before but have to say...I love these! so many ideas for them, I want to add people to everything!</span></div>

I gave it a quick shot with my heat tool and then used embossing ink through the TH stencil and embossed with Charred Gold Embossing Powder from Emerald Creek. I inked the chipboard quote pieces with the Broken China as well.</span></td></tr>

Christina Sedora fellow DT Member at MMM and I LOVE the Tim Holtz Zombie Man die! So I had to use it for this month's challenge! Let's get started!</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>

<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For this card, I used Sizzix I Love You embossing folder, Tim Holtz Zombie Die, Tim Holtz Accessories Die for Hat and tie, Jolee Bride dress, Tim Holtz Flowers.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I first embossed the A7 card with the embossing folder. The card is bigger than the embossing folder so I left a border around the embossed portion.<br />
<br />

<br />
After die cutting two zombies, I painted them with Distress Peeled Paint by Tim Holtz. This is the perfect color for zombies!!! Then I die cut the groom zombie with black card stock to make his zombie tuxedo, die cut with black paper for the top hat and tie. I used pink glitter paper to die cut the hearts. This is all in the Tim Holtz Accessory dies.<br />

<div>
For the Zombie Bride, I used Jolee satin stickers for the Bridal Gown, I used Tim Holtz Silver sparkle washi tape for the gloves, a little sprig of tulle for the veil and Tim Holtz Flowers for her bouquet.</div>

To finish up the card, I die cut some glitter hearts from the Tim Holtz Accessory die and used Tim Holtz Chit Chats for the bottom sentiment! This was a great card to make and very easy to make!</div>

<br />
Today I'm going to share with you the mixed media altered canvas I created, for this months challenge theme: Celebration with a twist Wedding.<br />
<br />
Meet Pricilla. She's full of spirit and has a heart of gold....waiting for the man of her dreams. In the meantime you can see her all dolled up as she heads down the aisle with her abundance of flowers and glitter in her hair.<br />

<br />
Let's get started......<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhd8PTFFbga0i-aNjks8TGRWcOMvQPC_sg3iUcM56Dg5codtqFPqjQxds0k_XseFIZlmVUb_qDi4cZcmjJ2vcdZt7sQR54E63ksH54-Ai1mLUaLf8bC3PWutBxj52Xj5UdbFG_AvXFa_A/s1600/IMG_0730.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhd8PTFFbga0i-aNjks8TGRWcOMvQPC_sg3iUcM56Dg5codtqFPqjQxds0k_XseFIZlmVUb_qDi4cZcmjJ2vcdZt7sQR54E63ksH54-Ai1mLUaLf8bC3PWutBxj52Xj5UdbFG_AvXFa_A/s320/IMG_0730.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Grab any size of canvas (I chose a 5x7) and cover it with Tim Holtz idea ology adhesive sheets, burlap. Then cover it with distress spray stain black soot. Heat set.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZxkGiXab2ly-xj_PJvwODckSGRxPpldm5C0DCLMy92fpR37XtF_9JWhZzyORPb3_qx9GPACbgqyKVMHY34rlZh0rurRrWbRbR7wMZe8yZRYp1ZuNjxMrdvxzSMNeW7S5RYsfz_bY3SLk/s1600/IMG_0731.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZxkGiXab2ly-xj_PJvwODckSGRxPpldm5C0DCLMy92fpR37XtF_9JWhZzyORPb3_qx9GPACbgqyKVMHY34rlZh0rurRrWbRbR7wMZe8yZRYp1ZuNjxMrdvxzSMNeW7S5RYsfz_bY3SLk/s320/IMG_0731.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
Next I used TH layered stencils, Industrial and Halloween with texture paste and let air dry. Once dried, apply distress inks Wilted Violet and Candied Apple on top.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using TH mini snips, fussy cut "Pricilla" all the flowers and use pop ups for dimension. Add rhinestones in her hair and color them with an oil base marker. I used a copic marker. Doesn't she look pretty.....</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using a mini sponge tool and distress ink black soot, go over edges of stamp to make her pop out. The stamp I used is from Stampers Anonymous Day of the Dead 1.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
For an added touch I used some of my favourite Tim Holtz idea ology finds - arrow adornment, skull (notice I added a couple rhinestones for the eyes with a little color for creepiness), metal corner.<br />
<br />

I started off by cutting the umbrella man from a mixed media tag by Ranger. </div>

As April showers are the main theme, I am overloading this tag with every rain drop I can think of. The drop stamps are from Designsbyryn, the white raindrop stencil is by Emerald Creek Crafts and the other one is from Crafter's Companion. And I am going to slap on the layers.</div>

I scribble some distress stains on my craft mat to create the background on my tag. Tumbled glass and stormy sky are just perfect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The "wrinkle free distress" or "smooshing" technique is my favourite one ever. It creates a unique background every single time. And you can layer as much as you want, until the desired effect.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

With a darker blue, chipped sapphire distress ink, I added the next layer on the tag. Small raindrops through the stencil. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The next layer will be stamped raindrops with distress oxide. As the oxides are semi opaque, this lighter color will lay on top of the darker background. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create dimension, I decided to stamp larger drops in another lighter oxide. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To make the drops more dimensional and realistic, I always add some highlights on them with a white gelli roll pen.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here you see the difference between the smaller drops that have been highlighted, and the big ones, that haven't been done yet.</div>

As the background dries, it is time for the umbrella man to get some life inked onto him. So I smooshed down some oxides onto my craft mat and sprayed it with water. Let the birth of Umbrella man begin!</div>

Once the crazing is all dry, it is time to make sure they pop on the umbella man. So time for the crayons to make an appearance. I scribble some dark ground espresso distress crayon on my craft mat and spritz a little water on it and rub it all over my man. The crayon will go into the crazes and will make them more visible and give it a vintage look.</div>

I am going to add this word band to the tag. I highlighted the letters by rubbing white distress crayon over it and working it really well into the crevices.</div>

To finish off the word band, I used two plain brads that I customised using one of my specialty embossing powders by Emerald Creek Craft, called Northern Lights. It is the most gorgeous mix of blue. </div>

As many of my crafty friends know, I always put fluffy bows on top of my tags. I am addicted to crinkle ribbon and stain it to match my projects. It takes distress inks and stains like nothing else. </div>

When it rains, your umbrella gets wet..... so I added a few droplets of Glossy Accents to emulate rain drops.

And voilà, the tag is all done. I inked the edges with walnut stain distress ink as it was a tad too blue and cold. This warmed it up a bit. Thank you so much for taking the time to step by. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">Hey everyone! <a href="http://buffylongard.blogspot.ca/">Monica</a> here and this is my April design team post. I hope you are all having a fun month cause I know I am! I wanted to show you how I used another of my new products - the Dina Wakely Scribble Sticks. I watched a couple videos on how to use them and came up with some fun projects for them.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;">First off, with the theme Spring and the twist Showers I wanted to create a journal page using my new Dina Wakely Scribble sticks. This is the page I came up with.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAtto2K5ev5-IgajnWIUfChJwsQICNOwHd8UyHjmc1uAINTQkcdD_1yymCZP_u3iGufvSxAADHSv8zv9lnFTpLe_yI5xEZfQaoM9u0DtGKuIS4SWhYHfsa7WyYQ78IkrfUBSRdyrm7l1Vs/s1600/Raindrops.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAtto2K5ev5-IgajnWIUfChJwsQICNOwHd8UyHjmc1uAINTQkcdD_1yymCZP_u3iGufvSxAADHSv8zv9lnFTpLe_yI5xEZfQaoM9u0DtGKuIS4SWhYHfsa7WyYQ78IkrfUBSRdyrm7l1Vs/s320/Raindrops.jpg" width="250" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
As I said, I had watched several videos on this new product, but this is the one I followed for this page.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But then I decided that I don't want to always show you other people's videos. I need to make some of my own. I apologize in advance that it is not as good quality as the video above. I am still learning how to improve my videos, but I hope you still get the idea. I made a couple of Easter tags for the gift baskets I am sending my grandsons. Take a look at how I made them.</div>

I am a lover of all things Halloween and had some Dyan Reavley skull stamps that were just calling out to be used! So what better way to use them but in a garden with some spring showers! So let's get started!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwR324IZFra-sVjD6C_VjvImNfs2qgxponBfU2Z0P6EtkrCf6Miq0IhkPJ9-83v4pWNBOVRpsXqlipnz0CiilmHWu-AFQi4LaGpp8hzfrHN6rlJeFOTwMAdfksls8bzrlMh8hEiRiCg7A/s1600/dt+mar+7.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwR324IZFra-sVjD6C_VjvImNfs2qgxponBfU2Z0P6EtkrCf6Miq0IhkPJ9-83v4pWNBOVRpsXqlipnz0CiilmHWu-AFQi4LaGpp8hzfrHN6rlJeFOTwMAdfksls8bzrlMh8hEiRiCg7A/s320/dt+mar+7.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I started with a #10 tag and the new Tim Holtz Distress Oxide inks! I love how they look and I used Spiced Marmalade, Worn Lipstick, Broken China, Cracked Pistachio and Fossilized Amber. Then I took a stencil and made some swirls and dots over the colors. A light mist of water helped to activate the oxides.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwtzBLhBSSIHEBL-ZW15cw_fEovPBx46THojldZSwn83EgC8xzzOr6_fNhsmoyrj4GT7lW01AzPYpOrQt3xAJHFy8g3EyFQYMBipfRF991RT1Ns0LKFhQwvby74Et9YxOHpnO-i1TgzY/s1600/dt+mar+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQwtzBLhBSSIHEBL-ZW15cw_fEovPBx46THojldZSwn83EgC8xzzOr6_fNhsmoyrj4GT7lW01AzPYpOrQt3xAJHFy8g3EyFQYMBipfRF991RT1Ns0LKFhQwvby74Et9YxOHpnO-i1TgzY/s320/dt+mar+1.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
It took my Dyan Reavley stamps and used the flowers and skulls to stamp images onto the tag. I used the umbrella from the Tim Holtz Umbrella Man. A little trick, you can mask off parts of a stamp so that they don't get ink on them. I stamped in Distress Archival Black Soot Ink.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoH1vWgqu7gtpZteXOzYqfwofjeHow0rfa3d7RsHQZThNMJ9XSPf1N01VH96dghOrzfH_Ict9aO5KggyfCBpXAFrMUMKGausF1l0e8gebiC70iDKCDru1xVk5kR4k_L6xZzS15nRfKPC4/s1600/dt+mar+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoH1vWgqu7gtpZteXOzYqfwofjeHow0rfa3d7RsHQZThNMJ9XSPf1N01VH96dghOrzfH_Ict9aO5KggyfCBpXAFrMUMKGausF1l0e8gebiC70iDKCDru1xVk5kR4k_L6xZzS15nRfKPC4/s320/dt+mar+2.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I then added the rain drops with a rain drop stamp from Deep Red Rubber Stamp! The tag was finished with Distress Black Soot ink around the edges and Voila! Skelly Flowers in the rain! Happy Easter!<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: small;">Happy Wednesday everyone! Cathy here with a new Spring project to share with you. I love the flowers blooming part of Spring the best! I don't have a garden so I have to make mine out of paper or buy them at the store and I'm okay with that! :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;">Please make sure to join in the fun and link your Spring with a Shower twist project to the original post found <a href="http://mixedmediamojo.blogspot.ca/2017/04/april-showers.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;">So for this project I wanted to try something new, so I did a reverse canvas! Loved it and now have a new way to use things I have in my stash!</span></div>

Once I had an art instructor at college tell me that I should incorporate my fears into my art, because it gave it character and brought out my true self. The assignment was to interpret a Chagall painting - it was a circus. One of my many fears....clowns etc. I created a piece with my fears to make it my own. I received an A-<br />
<br />
I remember that day, and I think I still have my art piece, in the basement.<br />
<br />
So now, onto the good stuff.....!!!<br />
As promised I'm doing a tutorial on my mixed media tag I created for this months challenge: April - Spring with a twist Showers.<br />

First I took a #8 Kraft tag and tapped it over the distress oxides, Vintage Photo and Faded Jeans (already spritzed with water) then heat set. I repeated this step till I got the coverage I wanted. <b>Hint: </b>to prevent the colours turning into mud, heat set after each application.</div>

To make Tim Holtz Salvage doll less "<i>creepy</i>", I painted her with an alcohol ink mixative in gold, to give her a more angelic vibe. For those of you that don't know, I have a doll phobia. So it was a little challenging for me to add her. But I'm glad I did, as she is the focal point of this piece.</div>

Did you know that you can oxide TH crinkle ribbon?? Just swipe the oxides on your craft sheet, make sure they don't overlap, spritz them and scrunch the ribbon till it's covered and heat set it. It's pretty cool to see the colors layering on top instead of blending.</div>

This is the fun part.....! Be prepared to get messy, using your finger smudge various colors of beeswax over the spring to your desired taste. I used Art (c) beeswax in copper and Viva Decor Inka Gold in steel blue. Then sand it down so it's not as vibrant.</div>

Attach everything in place and let it set. For the metal spring and "angelic" doll I used a very sturdy glue called E 6000. You can buy it at any local craft store. Mine was from Michaels in the floral section with the other glues.</div>

We started with a 6x6" white cardstock card. We decided to work on a 5.5"x5.5" white cardstock panel and then adhere it to our card base.<br />

Begin with a stencil and 3 D Matte gel. Using a palette knife, spread the gel through the stencil. This gel dries clear and matte and resists any paint on it.<br />

Once the panel is dry, distress the edges with the blades of a scissors. Distress here means to slightly tear the edges, to give it a ruffled look.<br />

Arrange everything on the card and adhere them down. For dimension, use some foam tape. Using watered down blue acrylic colour add some splashes to create droplets around. Stamp a sentiment on cardstock, cut and distress the edges with Picked Raspberry distress ink and add it onto your card.<br />

Happy April! <br />
<br />
Alright MMM fans we had a snafu with our linky for March and I am unable to see who played along! This makes me sad but I signed up for Mister Linky going forward hopefully that will work out fine. <br />
<br />
As you know we had a sponsor in March <a href="http://everythingmixedmedia.com/">Everything Mixed Media</a> which I can't give away right now since I don't know who played along.<br />
<br />
If you linked up for our March challenge which was Theme: Birthday / Twist: Balloons please link up that post here in the COMMENTS section. Your post for March should be the one you posted in March. Please use the Mister Linky for your April post. One lucky player from March will receive a Gift Certificate to use in Michelle's store - Everything Mixed Media and I will pick a winner from our April links and send a little prize pack to from me. Let us know if you have any questions.</div>

<br />
As most of you know I'm a Tim Holtz addict! One of the many products I have is the ever popular Sizzix die The Lost Zombie. I knew when I received this die that there would be high hopes for him. You can switch it up for any occasion.<br />
<br />
For the March Challenge I decided to create a mixed media tag using The Lost Zombie die.<br />

Now the fun part begins....using any color of distress crayon, I used (Abandoned Coral and Vintage Photo) start colouring in random areas on the tag and blend with your fingers till the tag is covered. <b>Hint: </b>if the color is too dark, you can always buff it out with a baby wipe. Next place stencil (Dot Fade) on top and apply texture paste over in random areas of tag. Let it air dry.</div>

The challenge runs to the end of the month and the theme is Birthdays with Balloons as the twist! So let's get started!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8K5aXNH9QoPCLoSftp6B-LSpKKWWlzUQ8NrQeC2MnfkzG3f-JuBZbNLHzJOkQHcWpGCpFaKYwVQ15WOATwnBRabiIlDOJfTfSAvaZ48UHUc4wcnsAcNqa0y7NTcp6aeP5DB9fT9Fs5k/s1600/mixed+media+Mar.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgo8K5aXNH9QoPCLoSftp6B-LSpKKWWlzUQ8NrQeC2MnfkzG3f-JuBZbNLHzJOkQHcWpGCpFaKYwVQ15WOATwnBRabiIlDOJfTfSAvaZ48UHUc4wcnsAcNqa0y7NTcp6aeP5DB9fT9Fs5k/s1600/mixed+media+Mar.jpg" /></a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to show a quick easy way to make a card for someone by using an embossing folder and dies. Often times I overwhelm myself with over thinking a card, tag, mixed media project or art journal. I liked the clean lines of this card and the two colors of silver and black. It doesn't necessarily have to be given to a man and one could just change the background black card and it could be used for a woman's card as well.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To start all I did was a cut a piece of black cardstock (I used Bazzill card stock) and Tim Holtz Kraft Core silver paper into the size of an A7 card.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
Then I took a Happy Birthday Embossing folder from Darice and ran the silver cardstock through my Vagabond 2 machine. I was going to leave the black card stock plain but decided I liked the embossing and ran the black through as well.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Since our challenge had a twist with balloons, I used my balloon die from Tim Holtz Crazy Things Die set and cut out 5 black balloons with strings from the Bazzill card stock. Then I cut a thin strip of the black card stock and embossed it. I then placed it horizontally across the card along with another strip of silver card stock. I glued everything down with my tombow adhesive and voila!</div>

This card was super easy to make and I like the clean lines and simplicity of the card. A good technique that can be changed with different colored card stock.
