Creative Expressions - Life Treasures

Hi ya, how are you all?  Sorry I haven't been around much, I have lots to show, but now allowed to lol and everything has to be done by Friday, so after that I get lots of weeks to play play play, which is good seems I have loads of unfinished projects that need finishing touches lol.  Anyway it's Monday which means it's time for my creation fo the Creative Expressions Blog and this week I have been playing with another one of Sue Wilson's stamps called Thank You.  It's like last weeks but this time I only used the bottom half of the stamp.  As always I shall highlight all the products from Creative Expressions :-).

I really love the new crackle glaze and matt chalk paint and 

I really have fell in love with this Jade Mint.

Lots of close ups :-)

 And now for the step by step ................................

I used a Creative Expressions MDF Wall Panel, the new Cosmic Shimmer

Crackle Glaze, Cosmic Shimmer Paint Green Aqua and the new Cosmic Shimmer

Matt Chalk Paint Jade Mint.

I coated the wall panel with two coats of the shimmer paint.

Then using my finger I applied the crackle glaze only to the top of the panel.

When this was dry I covered the sides with masking tape and added the 

matt chalk paint.

I also cut a piece of chipboard and added the matt paint.  

Next I used Creative Expressions Coconut Card Stock and stamped

the Sue Wilson Stamp Thank You (only the bottom half) with 

Archival Jet Black three times.  I then heat set and started 

watercolouring with the Adirondack Raspberry and Bottle inkpads.

I then cut out the flowers in sections for decoupage and went around

the edges with the ink pads that I used for water colouring.

To give some depth I then used Faber Castell Polychromas - crimson and cobalt green.

I stamped the image on the panel from earlier (you can see my test sample here as well lol)

and used Creative Expressions Adhesive Sheet and Creative Expressions Micro Beads.

I went around the edges with Creative Expressions Gilding Wax Patina and Enchanted Gold.

Oops I forgot to take a photo of me doing the decoupage.

Next I used the flower stamps from Creative Expressions Funky Floral

and stamped on Creative Expressions Teresa Collins Patterned Paper with

Archival jet black and then coloured them with the Adirondack Raspberry

and Bottle inkpads.

Next I used Distress Stickles with Cosmic Shimmer Jewels Iced Snow and

covered the edges of the flowers.

I used Adirondack Alcohol Ink Wild Plum to cover some Creative Expressions

Finishing Touches Tulle, Pearl String and Small Circle Dazzles and I also

coloured Creative Expressions Pins and Clear Sparkles.

I painted a piece of card stock with the Matt Paint from earlier and 

cut it out with Spellbinders Labels 13 and then used Adirondack Bottle to shade

into the middle.  Then I cut my word stamps (I usually do so I can fit them

where I want them) from Creative Expressions Whimsical Floral stamp set

with Archival jet black.

I highlighted a Creative Expressions Metal Dazzler Setting with 

Creative Expressions Gilding Wax Patina.

I used the gilding waxes from earlier for the edges, I then stamped with

the stamp from Creative Expressions Textures with Archival Viridian ink pad

randomly over the panel, then I splashed Cosmic Shimmer Acrylic Ink Forest Green

over it as well.

Right I shall be off, hope you have enjoyed the step by step and I hope you have a fantastic crafty Monday.
Happy Crafting :-)
