Creative Expressions - Cool Bags

Hi ya, I bet your wondering where I have been all week, I'm afraid I have been poorly, but at least now I can feel myself getting better, it wasn't a cold I had it was Bronchitis, now wonder I felt rough, I didn't even craft at all last week.  But the medication seems to be working and I am starting to feel like I want to be up and not sleep so all is good :-)
Of course today is Monday which means it's time for my DT creation for the Creative Expressions Blog and this month we are working with some wonderful stamps, Creative Expressions Stamp Set Antique Dressforms and also the wonderful Creative Expression Singles bags which I have done a Card today with them.  As always I shall highlight Creative Expressions products in my step by step.
Don't forget - 
I am also giving away at the end of the month the Creative Expressions Antique Dressform stamp set, brand new not been used.  Each Monday this month, if you comment you will be added into the draw to win, so if you comment 4 times you get 4 chances :-)

A Card this week :-)

And now for the step by step, I have to apologise, I didn't get everything on the camera as I got quite
involved at one point while putting it together as it wasn't working lol.

I used Creative Expressions Cardstock and painted with Distress

Paint Broken China and mixed some Eco Green Paint White to make it 

slightly lighter.

Next I used some cheap PVA Glue, it's best to use some

cheap stuff as it works better and takes longer to dry,

save your good Cosmic Shimmer Glue for sticking lol

I used an old gift card to scrape it on thinly.

Next quickly (while the glue is wet) paint on Eco Green Paint White,

just one layer.

When it dries you end up with a lovely crackle effect :-)

I used Distress Ink pads Broken China and Tumbled Glass

and sprayed Cosmic Shimmer Mist Teal Wash on some Creative

Expressions Cardstock.

While I had the spray out I sprayed some cheesecloth with

the Cosmic Shimmer Mist.

I also wanted to have a nice white sparkle piece of card,

so I used Creative Expressions cardstock and Cosmic Shimmer

Mist Pearl.

On the blue coloured card I used Ranger Perfect Medium and

Cosmic Shimmer Detail Embossing Powder True White and

embossed the Creative Expressions Singles Bejewelled Bag and Basketweave Bag

stamps.

To give some shadow I stamped on my heat mat the Distress

Broken China and added drops of Cosmic Shimmer Mist Teal Wash and

painted it on with a paint brush.

Next I used the new Cosmic Shimmer Sparkle Pearl PVA Teal

to decorate the bags also adding a Creative Expressions Embellishment Pearl Gems.

On my crackle background I stamped the script from

Creative Expressions Timeless Journey and some of the words

from Creative Expressions Antique Dressform with 

Archival Aquamarine and French Ultramarine.

As you can see at first I was going for a square card but changed it.

I also used the inkpad on the White Cardstock we coloured with the mist,

the word Fabulous, I also used Couture Creations Tied Together

embossing folder with the white sparkle card as well.

I put the card together, used some of Tim Holtz Flower Ribbon and

the cheese cloth, I found some dangles in my stash.  Everything

was edged with Broken China and Creative Expressions Gilding Wax Summer Blue.

The large flower is Creative Expressions Ribbon Roses, with the Cosmic Shimmer

Sparkle PVA Teal and then for some added sparkle I sprinkled some

Cosmic Shimmer Polished Silk Glitter Turquoise on top.

Right I shall be off, sorry it's late this morning, our internet was off, but luckily after doing some unplugging and plugging lol I managed to get it back on Phewwwww.  Hopefully I should be creating a lot more this week.  Thanks for Visiting :-)
Lots of hugs
