New Supplies in the Studio----PLAYTIME!

I received a shipment of new and exciting goodies last week.

After a crazy weekend...HS play, 2 soccer games, yard duties, etc....I finally got down to playing in the studio.

This is a picture I took on my "Oh So Smart" phone. Tiny but better than I could get today.

It's using the new and wonderfully creative Patina's from Vintaj and Ranger.

I painted them on with a brush...we'll talk later on that.

 Then I opened the Spray Inks from Dylusion and Dylan Reaveley.

Oh My Gosh....the COLORS are AMAZING!!!!

Trying to watch Tim's video class Creative Chemistry 101 and play at the same time.

Ha! REWIND is wonderful.

I sprayed several colors, dried, and sprayed again with a Crafter's Workshop/Julie Balzer Stencil.

LOVE!

In my box of goodies I got my set of Remnants Stamps from Tim.

The Old by Fav, Fancy Flourish, stamp and Black Archival Inks added the swirls.

Foamies also added here and there for fun.

Here's another shot of the 2nd layer with stamps and Archival Ink.

This is over another Julie Balzer Stencil and more black ink...LOVE the contrast.

So, that is just the beginning. If you want to follow along, go make a page with just color all over it.

Add some stencils with sprays or Distress Inks and Applicator, and then give a favorite stamped image a spot in 3 places. Overlap off the page for composition and we'll be back later.

I left a lighter spot in the middle of one page to write some words....

I'll be back later with some more steps to add to this page.

Remember this bracelet I made last summer?

Well I had to try the new Patinas on it.

There's terrific step-by-step instructions from Jess at Vintaj here.

Look at the dramatic difference now! It REALLY shows off the turquoise and amber beads.

I used Cinnabar, Rust and Verdigris on a tiny brush.

Heat set, sand, and polish with the the Metal Reliefing Block. (this block is a MUST...unbelievable when used to sand and polish detail. Different than any other on the market.)

Then here's a bit of fun.

The Owl was embossed using Moonlit Night Deco Embossing Folder, a Square Blank, and the Vagabond Machine.

Then using a small brush again, I added several layers of color, sanded, and polished.

The result is a cute little owl in a fun outdoor setting....leaves and such.

 I had a fun day with my new supplies and therefore had to share with you. Check out the links below to find these products.

You can also find many Vintaj products at Hobby Lobby.

Go and Create ART!
