Tutorial Tuesday: Altered Tag with Brandi!!!

Tuesday, November 18, 2014

Hello everyone and happy Tuesday!! It's Brandi here today with a quick mixed media/altered tag tutorial using this month's fabulous Rustic Beauty Kit!!

First, here's another look at this month's kit:


Isn't it amazing?!?!

And here's a look at the tag I created using goodies from the kit:


Isn't it lovely?!? I just love the colors in this kit and the goodies to play with :-)  Here are the steps to create the look!


1.  Grab one of the tags, ink, and something to apply the ink.
1.  Create a base on the tag using the ink and stencil included in the kit.
2.  Using the same ink, go around the edges of the tag.



4.  Grab the marker, stamp, and mini mister.
5.  Color directly on the stamp with the marker and mist a small amount of water.  Stamp over tag sporadically until you receive your desired look!
6.  Add some of the die-cuts from the kit around the tag and distress the edges.



7.  Grab some of the trim from the kit and mini mister.
8.  Mist a generous amount of water over the trim and crinkle it up.
9.  Once dry, unravel the trim and use for bow!


There you have it gang!!!  Can't wait to see what you create!!!!!

So Beautiful Rustic Beauty Layout with Brandi!!!

Wednesday, November 5, 2014

Hello there fellow crafters!!! It's a new month which means a new kit and new kit challenge over at Frosted Designs!!! This kit is absolutely beautiful... Seriously, I LOVE it more and more each time I look at it!!!

Here's a look at Rustic Beauty:



This kit features the FabScraps "Industrial Chic" collection, as well as goodies from Prima, Maya Road, Ranger and more!!!

As usual, you also have a chance to win a fabulous prize by submitting your projects created using ANY past or present FD kits!!!!  This month's prize is a $30.00 prize package from Scrapmatts!!!!



I am also up on the CE blog today so there are all sorts of Creative Embellishment goodies on my page!!!
Here's a look:


This is my youngest daughter when she was only six months old (she's four now!). I LOVE how the blue in her eyes stands out in the photo, so I decided to add pops of blue in my page as well!! 



I started my background work using various gelatos for contrasting colors, gesso to tone it down, then stencils with molding paste and india ink. 



I created a large flowers cluster down the page using various flowers from the kit and some from my stash, tucking in odds and ends from the kit as well for detail!



Well gang...  Thanks so much for stopping in!  Have a LUCKY day :-)
