Step-by-Step Instructions on How to Create an Ombré Bowl with StazOn

Hi everyone and happy Thursday :)

Long time, no see! But I am actually enjoying three weeks off work *hooray*
And -hopefully- this means some extra time to get crafty! *woohoo* Can't wait to get my fingers inky and get some blog posts written ;-)

Today, I am sharing something unusual - well at least it is not usual for me *lol*
The AIR's (AIR = Artist In Redsidence) from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko have been challenged to create an upcycle project!

I usually am a card maker... a clean and simple card maker... well and this challenge really *was* a personal challenge for me :-)

But in the end I did not only one project, but two different ones and I had a lot of fun with these :-)

I've made my very own ombre bowl by just using a boring, plain white bowl plus StazOn, GlazOn and Ink Blusher tools. And *tadah*.... you have a totally new and lovely decoration piece!

You can find the tutorial HERE on the Imagine Crafts Blog!

Please scroll down to find my tutorial, because this is a double post and you will also find a cool upcycle project idea + instructions from Isha Gupta in the same post... one more reason to hop over! :) 

But I wanted to go a little further and also used some baby food jars to create some "lanterns" to use with the bowl.

These were not only fun but also super easy to create!!!

If you want to know how I did it, please visit the Imagine Crafts Blog and you will find detailed step-by-step instructions with lots of pictures!

Please refer to the grey box below this post for a complete list of supplies :)

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope to see you here on my blog again, soon :)

Family Wall Hanger

 

 

Hi everyone and happy Tuesday :)

Today I'm sharing a wall hanger with our Family name on it. This was my final round entry for the Spellbinders call where I was asked to create a "mixed media" or "altered" project using specific dies, they sent me.  The wall hanger base in the background was die cut from metal foil, the butterfly was cut from vellum, everything else was cut from patterned papers and then altered with various acrylic paints and Glimmer Mists.
It seems like the decision makers thought this project was "not good enough" (at least I was not chosen for their team) - but I don't care, because I like the result although :-)
 

Hallo zusammen und Euch allen einen wunderschönen Dienstag :)
Heute möchte ich Euch einen Wandhänger mit unserem Familiennamen zeigen.
Diesen habe ich für die Finalrunde beim Spellbinders Contest gemacht wo die Aufgabe war ein "Mixed Media" oder "Altered" Projekt mit vorgegebenen Stanzen, die sie mir gesendet hatten, anzufertigen.
Die Basis wurde aus Metallfolie gestanzt, der Schmetterling aus Vellum und der Rest ist aus gemustertem Papier gestanzt und wurde dann kräftig mit Acrylfabren und Glimmer Mists gealtered.
Es hat den Anschein als hätten es die Entscheidungsträger als "nicht gut genug" befunden (zumindest bin ich nicht für das Team gewählt worden) aber das ist mir eigentlich ziemlich egal, denn mir gefällt das Ergebnis trotzdem :-)

here's another picture of it with better lighting (this one was my entry picture)
hier noch ein Foto mit besseren Lichtverhältnissen (dieses war auch das Bild, das ich eingereicht habe)

project recipe:

• patterned papers - Carta Bella, Bo Bunny
• coloring media - various inks, acrylic paints, Glimmer Mists
• others - American Crafts golden glitter alpha stickers, metail foil, clear rhinestones, green + bronze pearls, Spellbinders dies + embossing folder, green seam binding, dimensional foam adhesive
