Pink Paislee Mistable Album meets Tattered Angels

I'm consistently amazed at how all the Tattered Angels paint products work with wood. I just LOVE the new Pink Paislee Mistable wood album mixed with the Fall 2011 Ltd. Ed. Colors. Here it is in it's raw form:

With these Fall 2011 Glimmer Mist Ltd. Ed. colors Blackberry Cordial, Butternut Squash, Mallard, Pumpkin Spice, and Fairway & Fern Glimmer Chalkboard I created  this album:

Not only does it take the color extremely well but it's a great surface to stamp on. I used Ranger Archival Ink in Black and Dyan Dylusions Stamp Set Further Around the Edge. Other products used: Pink Paislee Wood Letters, & 7Gypsies and Tim Holtz metal embellishment to finish off.

I like working on this so much that I have created another album that will go live on Oct. 22 on the Tattered Angels blog. Check back to see what I created.

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to COMMITT TO THE MIST!

September Projects with Quality Products!

This month I spent a lot of time with Tattered Angels, Prima, Walnut Hollow, Julie Balzer Stencils, Out There Chippy & Helmar Adhesives. Here are the projects I produced. Hope you enjoy!



I wanted to utilize this gorgeous card box from Walnut Hollow. I first misted it with Aquamarine and Dark Denim Glimmer Mist from Tattered Angels. I also misted my Pink Paislee Mistable paper and tag with Blackberry Cordial, Calypso & Fairway from Tattered Angels. Fast and quick and once dry I was ready to embellish using my favorite 450 Quick Dry and Liquid Scrap Dots. I adhered the paper and tag using my brayer to smooth out any bumps and lumps...pleasantly surprised when I realized that they were few and far between. Digging into my Prima supply I found an assortment of Prima Flowers perfect to go with the colors I chose for my paper...some small...some large but I knew that I didn't have to worry about attaching these flowers to my card box. Once completed a crystal knob was attached for the top handle to help finish off this project.  

My starting point for this project was with the Prima Original Canvas MIST·a·ble (549763) and Prima Felt De-Vines as the background. I misted the canvas leaves with a combo of Olive Vine& Key Lime Pie Glimmer Mist then added Organic Garden Glimmer Glam and shaped them as they were drying for a natural look. The canvas flourish was misted withPumpkin Spice and Butternut Squash Glimmer Mist and highlighted it with Hammered Copper Glimmer Glam and also shaped as it dried. The Prima Felt De-Vines were covered with Organic Garden & Espresso Bean Glimmer Glam. Once all pieces were dried I attached several Prima flowers from various collections, a butterfly and of course some bling using my trusty 450 Quick Dry Glue and Liquid Scrap Dots and it was done. I love how it turned out and will definitely look great for these soon to be Fall days!

Here is another repurposed project. A canvas board that was misted with an assortment of colors and never used became the base of a project that probably only makes sense to me...trying to find the perfect blue to paint my bedroom. Starting with a picture from Kill Devils Hill beach at the Outer Banks and several color swatches the project came to together to remind me of 2 of my favorite things...the beach and the color blue. 

I actually created the background several years ago and don't remember what Glimmer Mists I used but I knew that I wanted to use cheesecloth for texture and cover the background. I applied it with a small amount of gesso and misted with Nougat Glimmer Mist and I purposely splattered mists & glams on the background.  I  painted my Prima flowers with Ocean Spray & Hayride, they were removed from a vine spray and  I used the vines along the side like it was sea grass. Prima Canvas Word Art was misted with NougatGlimmer Mist and then glammed up with the incredible Twinkle Toes Glimmer Glam. The 2 piece flourish chipboard from Out There Chippy was painted with Ocean Spray and Hayride Glimmer Glam. For added sparkle I added a handful of Swarovski Crystals.

For my last project I started with 12 x12 Prima Canvas Screen Art  and a 12 x 12 Triangle stencil designed by Julie Balzer and chose colors that I don't normally chose. I used the brand new Chalkboard Mist colors in French Vanilla, Mauve'lous, Monolith, Astrids &Charcoal...oh my, I was so happy with the results that this project just kept on growing. Liking the colors so much I cut a section out of another Prima (MIST)able Canvasbackground and misted with the same colors. I added a layer of Hawaiian HibiscusGlimmer Glaze along the edges of both canvas pieces...this glaze color matches perfectly with the Chalkboard Mists. I added a sentiment using a Dylusions Quintessential Quotes Stamp set to my canvas tag. The Prima Canvas Word Art "Journey" was first sprayed with Monolith Chalkboard and then a very heavy coat of Sassy Silver Glimmer Glaze. The Prima Felt Viola piece was just to black, I tried to subdue the color with a misting of Charcoal Glimmer Mist and Tinsel Town Glimmer Glam. Adding several Prima Flowers and Leaves helped finish this piece, along with a set of Maya Road Fibers {again perfect colors}.

Here's a close up of the stencils, colors, canvas words, felt flourish and embellishments.

Hope you enjoyed these projects...I'm so inspired when working with such quality products!

Have a great weekend!

Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist & GrungeBoard

The new colors of the Tattered Angels Chalkboard Mist are phenomenal and I've been trying different foundation materials to see how the Chalkboard worked with them. I've been really pleased but there is one material that just grabbed the mist and showed the strength of each color...Tim Holtz's GrungBoard...oh my!

Here is a project I created for the HELMAR Adhesive blog. It’s an interpretation of Tim Holtz’s Patchwork Pandemonium and the incredible Niche Canvas from Ten Second Studio. After misting all my grunge board pieces with the brand new Tattered Angels Chalkboard colors I preceded to glue the mosaic in place over the already created tissue paper background.

To add interest I added several different metal embellishments representing important things in my life. Because they are heavy the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive was absolutely necessary. The two metal embellishments with hanging charms are secured with Scrap Dots to give the dimension needed for the charms to hang correctly. In the actual niche I have a Bird Cage suspended from the top of it and again to secure and hold the birdcage I used the 450 Quick Dry Adhesive.

Materials used: 

Tattered angels Chalkboard Glimmer Mist:

Calypso, Fairway, Seven Seas, Tomate Cerise, Valencia, Alaskan Salmon, Firefly, Inchworm, Teal High Heel.

Canvas: Ten Seconds Studio

Tim Holtz Grungeboard & Assorted Ideology

7 Gypsies Tissue Paper Birdsong & Assorted embellishments

HELMAR Adhesives: 450 Quick Dry & Liquid Scrapdot

Prima Vintage Metal Trinkets Birdcage

Now that I have shown you the original project I think I want to dull down the colors and was thinking of using Rub n' Buff...what do you think...I want more of an aged effect? Let me know you thoughts...your comments are truly appreciated.

Have a great weekend!

Do you know your MISTABLES?

Meet the Mistables has been the focus of all the projects this month. I would like to share the following projects with you..hopefully to inspire you to try the multitude of possibilities.The first Mistable Project that I worked on is a combination of wood, metal and canvas. I wanted to alter my Big Daddy Glue Caddy. Choosing the new Fern Chalkboard, Seven Seas Chalkboard and Mallard Glimmer Mist I started randomly layering on the colors. I misted the Kaisercraft Wooden leaves with Butternut Squash Glimmer Mist & Inchworm Chalkboard Mist and covered with Private Meadow Glimmer Glam & Hayride Glimmer Glam. I misted the Kaisercraft wooden heart with Nougat Glimmer Mist. I added Prima canvas letters misted  with Pumpkin Spice & Mallard Glimmer Mist and Fairways Chalkboard Mist. I painted all the metal  embellies with Fairway & Seven Seas Chalkboard Mist and Mermaid Glimmer Glam. Once everything was dry I assembled my caddly with Hemars 450 Quick Dry glue. This is the caddy at work.In an attempt to show all the possible Mistables I created 4 tags using various embellishments. The manilla tags are actually glimmer mops...I use them to soak up all the excess paint after misting and save them for future use. I couldn't tell you what colors I used on the tags but I can refer you to the ones used to embellish.Using Chandelier Glimmer Glam to create sparkle on the corrugated cardboard and 3 grungeboard stars covered in Alaskan Salmon Chalkboard Mist with Orange Crush Glimmer Glaze applied to outer edges compliments this tag. The linen ribbon was misted with the new Nougat Glimmer Mist.The pleated ribbon from Pink Paislee is misted in Autumn Nights & Pomengranate Glimmer Mist while the metal star received a coat of Rustic Glimmer Glam and edges touched with Orange Crush Glimmer Glaze.Various colors of Glimmer Mist are embellished with a homemade paper towel heart that has also been a glimmer mop covered with Chandelier Glimmer Glam. The linen ribbon used on all the tags are misted with Nougat Glimmer Mist.On the final tag a canvas and felt heart from Basically Bare have been misted with Pumpkin Spice Glimmer Mist and Inchworm Chalkboard and then stamped. Corrugated cardboard and a wooden letter covered with Fern and Mallard Chalkboard Mist along with a chipboard crown coated with Chandelier Glimmer Glam.

My final Mistable is my favorite shape canvas to work on...art in the round. After misting, gesso, tissue paper, more misting, stenciling I added 2 manilla tags that again started off as glimmer mops. All in all I used the following colors to create this canvas: Fairways, Fern & Seven Seas Glimmer Chalkboard. Butternut Squash, Kiwi Lime, Mallard, Nougat & Pumpkin Spice Glimmer Mist. Chipboard letters stamped and embossed, a canvas heart from Basically Bare & corrugated cardboard round out this piece.

I want to also share the effect of Chalkboard Glimmer Mist on Grunge Board. These examples are for a project I am creating for a Guest Designer spot with Helmar Adhesives. Using a heavy spray of any CHALKBOARD cover the Grunge Board and allow to dry naturally...do not remove any color. You will be amazed at the intensity of color and glimmer!

I hope that these projects give you more ideas of how all the Tattered Angels PAINT MEDIUMS can be used...on & off the page. My suggestion is jump in & give it a try...you can't make a mistake. Make sure you come back and see all the remaining projects the design team has to share!

Hurricane Irene...go away!

http://www.weather.com/

Getting ready to leave school...go home...make sure everything is put away and wait and see what this wild weather is going to do. It looks like the eye of the hurricane may go directly over Elizabeth City, NC...hmmm! This is my 1st hurricane but I survived the Blizzard of 1977 in Buffalo, NY!!! May be offline for a few days with the expected winds to be at at least Category 2 strength...not sure if I'm going to like no...no FB...really???

Anyone who is in the path of Miss Irene stay safe!!!

See ya on the other side!
