Tattered Angels and Graphic 45 Goodness

Good Morning Everyone. I have been busy creating lots of scrappy goodness as I create a wedding gift for some new friends of ours. They chose to have me scrap an album from the photos I took of the cruise that we shared. So here are some of the pages that I have completed.

Do I really need to tell you all how wonderfully Tattered Angels and Graphic 45 work for this book........I don't think just take a look for yourself.

This first page is at sunset in the Mazatlan Harbour. The use of shells, netting, seaglass, lace, its hard to see but glimmer mist was used to tone down the cream colors to more of a tan.








Cabo San Lucas is one port that I would like to return to and explore more. The Grungeboard shapes are glimmer misted with Black gold. For the Title, I pulled out three colours of glimmer mist. First I used the darker blue across the top of the letters, then the lighter blue was used across the bottom and of course the two marble together in the center. Then just before the letters dried I grabbed The black gold and lightly misted the black seemed to migrate to the edges and when it dried I didn't have to ink.



Then I coated the letters with glossy accents and let it sit for about 30 min. While it was a bit moist I sprinkled pigment powders on and some was absorbed deep into the moist glossy accents and other parts stayed on the surface.

Well I am off to work but I will share some more Tattered Angels goodness with you tonight.

Make it a great day!

Its Friday! And Therefore more TA fun

Well finally I can get these photos posted so you can see the finished project.

Have a great day!


Here is the inside of the card I masked off the one side before laying down the mask and using GM in two shades to make it rock.


So here is a close up of my bird cage that I free handed from decorative wires. This one was a bit out of scale but I have learned and will

Well here is the front of the card Love using scraps, and using the Glimmer Mists and Screens to make them look like something right off the presses.

Due to some technical difficulties the pictures will follow shortly - ahhhh love when a machine is smarter than me.


The end of another week, and lots of happenings going on.

My Aunt and Uncle will be celebrating their 50th anniversary this summer and while we won't be joining them in Calgary for the celebrations I did want to send them a card to congratulate them.

So I hauled out my scraps and Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist and Screens and with a spritz here a tear there, a twist here and glue there I came up with the following card.

I did something I don't typically do so that I can show you all yet another way to use the screens and Glimmer Mist.

Once I was done spraying my patterns on the screen I left the saturated screen to dry over night. If you are not as attached to your screens as I am you could take this beauty and create a marvelous layout or cut it up and use bits as embellishments. Now as much as I would love to do this and show you an actual finished piece....................I love this screen way to much to do it even for you my dear friends.

So the secret is to let your piece sit for twenty four hours until it is good and solidly dry. You should note however that if you don't put some form of sealant on it, a little bit of moisture is going to cause it to liquefy and rub right off on your hands or nearest absorbent material.

Do you want multiple colors? Here is where I cheat, I pray that the tattered angels don't strike me down for doing this. I grab a glass dropper and fill it with the color of choice and then gently drop by drop place the colors where needed. I then let it sit again for an additional 24 hours. I do this step for each color that I add. Call me fussy but I don't want a lot of color blending from a lot of moist or wet colors the blending the occurs at each addition is what I want. I am betting there are several of your out there going welllll silly broad why doesn't she heat set the colors and speed things up. Well feel free to try this out, but the funny thing about plastics.......they tend to warp and occasionally just plain melt. LOL and you thought I was just another pretty face LOL LOL.

The Finished Flower on a card and more

So here is the finished half-fold card that I made with the flower from our tutorial. I took a cream backround and misted it with GM and then added the necessary embellishments to make it fun. I used the leftover scraps of paper to make the flourishy parts.

This Weekend The Paper Passion is having another Scrapweekend and so I have done a few things for that while do stuff that I needed to get done anyways - You know there are days and there are days..........

Challenge #2

Was to make two cards with a generic nature - apparently a twist is coming so ........ I guess Faieryrocks will be letting me know soon.



Challenge #3

You were to use The name of a Movie. I chose the 1935 movie - Musical Memories. This animated movie - is about a old couple that are dancing and recalling memories as the songs play. As I do the very same thing when a song comes on.......... I felt that this was fitting.

This layout is part of a circle journal and to the right is a sign in tag (this shows the actual colors way better)



I am using this layout for yet another circle journal that I had to complete this weekend.

Challenge #9 - Fast Scrap

I managed to do this layout in 62:017 (min:secs) which for me is fast. What I love about this layout - The doodling - I didn't have near enough white rub on swirls to do what I wanted so I filled them in with my trusty Uniball. I also hand wrote and colored the title........... Tim Holtz Butterflies with Bling round out this little fella.



So that and working on 200 ATC cards is what has been happening around here this weekend.

Ohhhhhh Byyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy the way we had a Birthday party for my pal Sheryl. We laughed so very hard.........

I will get some photos up in the next couple of days.
