Hunter's Sunset


  Happy Wednesday everyone! leslierahye here presenting a few new release products paired with the Piccolo Powders and 3D Enamel Gels! There are a few frame bubble kits in the most recent release and they are great for stand alone art in your surroundings--they cone with an easel back that can be glued on to provide support for your project.  They have generous mats to make a lush layered home decor accent! 
I began by marking where the opening would be on the base chipboard and brushing a coat of glastique in the oval. The glastique seals the chipboard and in this case allowed me to create a sunset scene with the gels. With a rainbow of gels I created a sunset background in a field by brushing on color in layers.  Once satisfied with the effect I set it aside to dry. 
I next embossed the elements for my scene with black detail emboss powder and Vintage Black. The layers were embossed with Brownstone, Vintage Black and Vintage Silver. Before laying each element I edged then with Black Marker to finish off the edge of the chipboard.


  I hope you enjoyed my project! Thank you for stopping by today!

One Flower Three Ways

Today I have to share with you Stacy's Stacking Flowers with three different products used on them. I LOVE these flowers especially because of the detail in them.  

Up for consideration are: Globecraft Enamel Powder and Gel along with Dylusions Ink Spray.


The Enamel Powders are awesome because they melt right down and preserve the detail- even with multiple coats (this is two coats).



The Enamel Gel completely covers up the details. 

The ink spray goes on super we'll- nice and even and the details look great. 

There are so many fun ways to color the Piccolo shapes. So go experiment!

Steampunk Mixed Media

 

Sandy here with you today with my second try at a mixed media canvas.  I began with the wonderful Mini Steampunk Airship Kit.  Using Vintage Black, Vintage Copper and Vintage Gold Piccolo Enamel, I heat embossed the various pieces of the ship.  I only wanted to use 1/2 of the airship for my project as I wanted one side to be flat for adhering to my canvas.  I added a couple of extra gears for more dimension inside the globe.  And I added a Steampunk Airship Accent to the nose of my ship.  I set that aside. 


Next I went to work on my 9 x 12 inch canvas.  I used a huge amount of Piccolo's on this canvas.  It was great fun to mix them up and layer them.  I am not sure I can list them all but will try at the end of this post.  I started with the two bubble backgrounds.  I added three mesh borders from Cheery Lynn Designs and then just filled in all the other spots.  The bottle cap, flowers and clothespin are the only other items that are not Piccolos.



I used my Copic airbrush to add color.  I did not have any shimmer paints in the colors I wanted.  I did add some shimmer mist over the background when I was done coloring to add a bit of sparkle.  The last step was to add my Airship and I found out that I had not chosen wisely with my embossing powders.  But I took my Copic marker that I used to airbrush the copper color and colored over the embossing powder on the frame of the ship so it now matches.

Pretty Little Gift Jar

Hello out there! Aimee here with a sweet little spring project.

I like to keep and reuse cute jars in my crafty studio. The jar for this project was once a cheap scented candle.


Supplies:
Piccolos LA106 Stacking Flowers
Aged Pink Enamel Powder
Enamel Adhesive Fluid
Jar, heat gun, burlap strip, pearl trim, ribbon, flowers, hot glue gun, bling for flower center.


1. Punch out a large flower. Coat with Adhesive Fluid and then with the powder. Heat that baby up to melt the powder and activate the adhesive. Repeat. 


2. Wrap some burlap around the jar and secure ends with hot glue. Repeat with ribbon and pearls. 


3. Add some pretty little flowers. 


5. Now use that glue gun and add your pretty pink Piccolo flower. Add bling to the center.



All done! Fill with something fun like chocolate and give to a friend :)
