LDRS Creative and Faber-Castell Blog Hop Team UP!

Tammy Louise today joining the LDRS Creative and Faber-Castell Blog Hop Team Up!

I've altered a notebook today showing you how wonderful the colors from Faber-Castell can work together.  First I used Gesso on two stretched canvases and the notebook front and back.  Then the 102 Stencil Collection for texture with Copper colored texture Luxe paste.  I used the Steam Punk Gelatos to color my project, right over the texture.  Sprayed water allowing the color to drain downward and completely coat the canvas's and Notebook. The Pitt Gold pen splashed around in spots using the stencil tool and used the Walnut Brown Pitt Calligraphy pen to write the word dream in the film roll.

Time to embellish using some fabulous products from LDRS Creative like the Dewdrop Circle cut in half, the Best Friends Sentiment, the Gilded Labels die under the resin bodice and then the accent die from the Gilded Ovals die.  All of the dies were coated in Gesso and Gelatos, then glued in place.  I dropped a few drops of Tim Holtz Airondack alcohol ink onto some Tim Holtz acrylic fragments and glued them over the sentiment and in the bottom corner of the canvas.  The Prima ribbon flower embellishment was glued down and tied then the Blueberry Swirls Clock Cutout was colored, cut in half for the binding side of the book and the project was done!!   

  

The Texture Luxe colors and Gelatos blended so well creating dreamy layers of pinks and Golds.  The more color you add, the richer your project looks.

Hugs,

Until Next time!

Let's see what I've done!!!

A bit of explanation on how this project was constructed, cut the ribbon of choice into 1.5 inch strips, apply some tacky glue, fold them in half and I clipped them together to dry. 

After covering the paper mache bodice with Guesso and Ranger Vintage Photo Crackle Paint, and mesh, the surface was ready to begin placing the dried loops in a repetative order all the way around the bodice so that the loop hits the surface of the table.  Each layer from the bottom up is placed so the bottom of the loop covers the previous layer at the top of the ribbons.  I did three rows up and went around the bodice with a contrasting ribbon then added three more layers in the same fashion. 

Using two different size flower punches I punched 125 of each flower, layered the smaller flower into the center of the large, bent the petals upward and added a gemstone to each.

Under each layer of ribbon, I added some pearl drop string from my stash and some white leaf ribbon  
The finishing touches, after the flowers were used to create the paper bust line, were some Tim Holtz baubles on the jewelry pegs and a Tim Holts knob at the top.

The little note card was made using the same process and I added the Shape EZ Pedestal tag, Pearl slides from WOC, a crystal button and a perfect sentiment from Raindrop Echo Design.
