Firstly, as I work in an A4 Journal I cut down the Limited Edition scrapbook paper collection paper to suit A4 dimensions but you could easily work on the whole 12”x12” scrapbooking paper as a photo layout with a few modifications to the composition of the elements.
Using
the apply the Golden Fiber Paste through
the stencil liberally. Allow to dry thoroughtly.
(Note:
Texture or modelling paste can be used, for gritty textured effect add some
clean white sand to the texture paste mix.)
In
a Darice
6 well paint palette
add a small separate quantities of Shimmer
dust colours – Passion, Peacock and Fern using a Craft
Powder Spoon.
Add some water using a Pipettes
then stir very carefully until mixed. Using a paint brush dribble each of the mixes
in turn over the textured area, dry off thoroughly after applying each
colour. Repeat this step until satisfied
with depth of colours.
Stamp
the Time flies metal
plates stamp, the bird and the eye/clock hands
stamp (no image supplied here) from the Time Flies
clear stamp set and the chain from the Limited
Edition clear stamp set stamps onto a piece
of White
Cardstock – Bee Arty – 250gsm A4 using the Versamark
Stamp pad translucent . Sprinkle the embossing powders mix Embossing
powder – Steel (mix some bling embossing powder with Steel), then with a heat
tool until the powder changes and sets.
Next using the shimmer
dust mixes from before, carefully fill in the embossed shapes with a small paint brush.
Fussy cut all of
these elements when dry.
On a second sheet
of White
Cardstock – Bee Arty – 250gsm A4 colour the
card slightly bigger than the stamped metal plate to create a matt for behind
using Shimmer
dust colours – Tan/ Fern (strong mix).
When dry adhere
the matt to the metal plate element.
On a separate sheet White Cardstock – Bee Arty – 250gsm A4 mix up Shimmer dust colour – Tan in a Mini Mister bottles spray liberally over the cardstock, spray with extra water to spread if necessary. I had run the cardstock through the printer previously to add the sentiment (see below). Dry off.
The
sentiment I used in this project:
TREAT EVERYONE WITH POLITENESS AND KINDNESS, NOT BECAUSE THEY ARE NICE, BUT BECAUSE …
Using a small paint
brush add some splattering of Fern and Tan Shimmer
dust liberally all over the cardstock, allow to dry. Cut out the sentiment from he top of card.
Run the remaining splattered
cardstock through the Die cut machine using the Alphabet
metal die with the letters - Y
O U A R E. These words lead on from the sentiment
adhered to the top of the page.
Detailing
adhere:
-
the letters - Y O
U A R E to the bottom of the metal plate card
-
the eye/clock hands element to the top right of the metal
plate card, add a metal shape over the eye, then mount the bird over the top of
the metal embellishment.
-
Adhere the chains to the left hand side of the page in an
almost cross shape to connect the all the elements on the page. Before gluing the horizontal cross section
thread a metal key to link the meaning of the sentiment to the page.
-
Adhere the sentiment card, mounted to the top of the
page.
-
Add other metal embellishments to the clock and a small cog onto
the bird.
-
Add detailing with a permanent pen around the stencilled shapes
to highlight detail.
-
Add a distressed border to the page.
