It's been awhile but we're back with some fun new projects for you!  I have a piece of art that I made using WOW Metallic Gold regular embossing powder and Sierra Sunrise embossing glitter.  Using brand new Prima papers from the Divine collection, I created this paper tea cup, banner, and hot air balloon sculpture.  
After constructing the parts (saucer, cup, handle, layers, balloon, banner, and posts), I wanted more sparkle.  So, I used VersaMark to roll the posts in, which are skewers, and then apply Sierra Sunrise to it.  I love this embossing glitter!  It's so sparkly and adds the perfect amount of shine.
I edged the balloon and the edges of the cup and saucer with the VersaMark and Gold Metallic Regular.   It was the perfect touch to this girly project.  



Here's a close up of the edges and the saucer part.  I love this sculpture and used lots of flowers, bling and pretty touches! 
I haven't gotten my hands on the new products yet, but I can tell you that th…

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and it is a cause that is near and dear to me. My mother-in-law and aunt are both breast cancer survivors of 10+ years!  I recently lost a classmate that was the same age as me to breast cancer.  Even though I had not talked to her in many years, it hit home how awful this disease is and devastating it is to families, friends, and colleagues.  We need to raise money to help fight cancer!  I bet each of you know someone who as battled, is battling or lost the battle to breast cancer!  So, as a tribute to those individuals, I made a plaque to remind us all to keep calm & journey on!  It's a journey to carry on, fight or just give support to those that are facing a challenge like this.
I used some of the WOW stamps from the "Simply Amazing" set.  This is the cameo on the ribbon.  I stamped the silhouette on a piece of patterned paper with Faber-Castell's Stamper's Big Brush Pen and then stamped the frame with VersaMark and…

I think I may pass on little witches in my future :) LOL!   Jan here and I did have lots of fun making this glass ball.  I used a clear glass Christmas ornament and tipped it upside down.  You can buy these ornaments at many craft supply stores.  I started with a Victorian Pillar Base and painted it black then used versa mark ink pad and rubbed some ink on and heat embossed using WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Ultra High Embossing Powder.
I covered the battery operated tea light with some Gaffer Tape and then used a bit of Shabby Orange seam binding around the center.
The little witch is adhered to Hambly Screen Prints "Birds".  I cut the overlay and rolled the overlay and image around a paint brush and then released it into the ball.  I used Coluzzle and made sure I left a generous tab at the bottom so it would stand up in the ball.    Easy peasy!  Hope you will try your own Glass Ball!  Add some pearls, metal charms and vintage gloves and you're all set to go.
