Used Liquid Glass (I think this is similar to Diamond Glaze) to attach the paper circle to the inside of these copper jewelry findings by Patera. Added more Liquid Glass and a dragonfly charm and small purple bead. Then had to wait for the Liquid Glass to dry.....
Then added some jump rings and more beads along with a copper colored moon charm.
Liking the look of copper, blue and purple together.
Made a stencil with a flourish die cut and the Tim Holtz Mask Sheet. Used this stencil to add Pearlescent Stencil Paste flourishes to the canvas and let them dry.
To finish the canvas, added wings made with Fantasy film, a vintage image, a quote on vellum and some metal star charms with blue fibers.
Update 3/31: Thanks to a good friend who emailed me and let me know I had a typo before I had the opportunity to mail this Mini Memory. I have re done the quote and fixed the error. The above photo is the corrected version. Thanks Rena!!!
Quick and easy technique. Stamp an image with VersaMark (or another Watermark ink) on glossy or other coated card stock. Rub chalks over the VersaMark ink to color the image.
Here's the image after I finished adding more colors of chalks.
Some techniques starting with the letter C are Crimping, Carving, Caught in Crystal, Cracked Glass, Credit Card Backgrounds, Crayon Resist, Collage, Chalks and Watermark/Versamark ink, Cosmos Paper and Colorwash techniques. I decided to make a fun Birthday Card with the Crayon Resist technique. Which I have played with before, it is also called Resist with Crayons.
Covered the card with Rainbow ink with a brayer, wiped off the ink over the crayon colored areas.
Stamped "A happy birthday" and colored the edges with black Archival ink and heat set. Layered on a yellow card.
On the other side of four of the coasters I started collaging papers. Stamped a light Distress ink on the colored papers, music scale on the yellow paper and flourishes on the blue paper. Dictionary pages were previously colored with brown ink and some gold perfect pearls. Stamped over all papers with brown StazOn in with a "crackle" like texture stamp and used the brown Stazon ink to color the edges. Then coated the coasters with Matte Acrylic Medium and let dry.
Decided to add more brown StazOn ink to the edges. On two coasters added butterfly images with Matte Acrylic Medium. On the other two coasters glued on some of the Corrosive Elements I made earlier today along with paper with quotes on them.
To complete the Cubed Container, I punched holes with the Zutter Bind-it-All and tied the coasters together with brown fibers. Tied on Copper Etched Charms I made last fall to each of the upper 4 Corners of this Cube.
This was fun, hope the recipient enjoys it as much as I did making it.
The purchased die cut started out black, so I decided to add a second layer of the paint mixed with embossing powder. Also painted a die cut heart that I had first dry embossed.
Next, if desired, stipple on other patina paint colors. I chose this acrylic metallic paint to stipple on my paper elements.
Here are my finished pieces, they look like old rusted corroded pieces to me.
Stamped small stars in the background with silver Encore! ink and a saying with blue StazOn ink.
Layered the background on silver card stock, added the "Star spotlight" and a small blue metal star.
Instead of using a brayer, I used DTP (direct to paper) with a small rainbow pad and rubbed in the inks with my finger. I choose pink, as spring will soon be here and we are starting to see lots of pink buds in the gardens.
Wanted to create a "mystical garden fairy" over my piece. (I confess, I love the bit with the fairies painting the seasons in Disney's Fantasia) Inked up the pieces with VersaMark ink and covered with Opals Franklin (similar to UTEE) and melted in a craft only electric fry pan. Added two more layers of Opals.
While the Opals were still hot/melted, inked my stamp with VersaMark ink and firmly pressed into the melted opals. When the Opals hardened/cooled removed the stamp and colored the raised areas with silver Encore! ink. Seems "mystical" to me.
Layered the piece on silver paper and added a small silver dragonfly in the corner.
When the glue is tacky, paint over the paper with acrylic paint of your choice of color and let the paint dry naturally (this is where the time comes in).
Here are my results:
Brush on assorted Perfect Pearls with a brush to cover the paper, then brush off the excess powders.
Using VersaMark, Perfect Medium or Embossing ink, ink a stamp, then press the stamp on to the Perfect Pearl covered paper. Lift up the stamp, you'll see that the stamp imaged removed the Perfect Pearls from the dark paper.
Spray the paper with a fine mist of water to set the Perfect Pearls to the paper.
Using a brush, apply Perfect Pearls over the stamped image. You can carefully color each area as desired, or randomly apply assorted colors as I did here:
Brush off the excess powder, then set the image by applying a fine mist spray of water.
After it has dried:
Placed this collage under a piece of glass and into a copper frame and added beads to the ring. Just need to add a pin back to the back and it will be done.
Collaged over the shimmer papers with StazOn ink stamping, cut out vintage images and then soldered over copper tape. Added a bead to the top.
First sheet I used a very small amount of Perfect Pearls, result in a light shimmer.
Second sheet, used more Perfect Pearls in the wash and resulted in more shimmer. I love how the blue paper is still blue, but glitzy.
Did a wash over background papers:
Another wash over white paper that had been embossed in a Cuttlebug embossing folder (love this one): 
Over some colorful tissue paper:
And over a work sheet that had been used when I was brayering on rainbow ink pads over card stock.:
Lots of fun. Julia says that gold Perfect Pearls will make warm tones and pearl Perfect Pearls will make cool tones.
