I love how Glimmer Mist works on wood-just incredible, immediate results! This was a simple wooden box that I sprayed with a combination of Sea Glass, Riptide and Patina Glimmer Mist. The Glimmer Mist colors the wood very quickly, but doesn’t dry right away, so there is still time for blending the colors. I covered the top in that super cute Girl Friday paper line from Cosmo Cricket. That is also Cosmo Cricket’s coordinating ribbon that is wrapped around the lid. The Glimmer Chip “stage” is actually the frame from the Regal Framed Fonts package. Love how versatile and generous those are! The Chip was painted with a bit of Patina, then trimmed with Stickles. Here’s a close up of it:

The ballerina herself is from a vintage baby mobile.  I trimmed her in ribbons, glitter and  tulle, and topped off her umbrella with a Prima flower. Perfect little candy or gift box. If you haven’t tried Glimmer Mist on wood, give it a try-you’re gonna love it!

Have a great week,

Michelle J.

Hey Everyone! It’s me Liz Hicks here to share some Tattered Angels goodness topped off with some yummy Cosmo Cricket.  I was so excited when Tattered Angels decided to team up with Cosmo Cricket this month. I am so in love with their Snorkel Line and what bettter way to showcase just how fun these two manufacturers work together than in a fun Beach Layout?

This layout is of my second son walking on the beach and although it is a beach themed layout, it really reflects on who he is and how he has developed into such a wonderful boy. He use to despise going to the beach (or any other body of water for that matter) so to see him engage and enjoy the water was such a treat.

SON Rise close up of SUN

 This is a close up of the sun rays. I was inspired by a telelvision ad that circulated last year. It was for a car company and it feature a car driving through the tunnels of LA and as the car drove through the tunnel became this whimsical sun. This is my interpretation of that whimsical sun, it is similar to the turn of the century silent movie such as “A Trip to the Moon” which showcases a surreal style of filming. I also snuck in some Glimmer Screen stamping that peeks out from behind the layers of the sun. I used the Vintage Ice Glimmer Screens for this.

SON Rise Close up of Title

Here is a close up pic of the title. Again going with the whimsical surreal feel of a turn of the silent movie, I tried to mimic the layers of a silent film stage. This is one of my favorite forms of art. I love the layered victorian feel of turn of the century movies.

And here is the full view of the layout. I added some bolt lace, and cut up ortions of the Cosmo ribbon to add depth. also the backgroudn was created by using the Glimmer Glass snowflakes from the Glimmer Glass Frosty Memories album as a screen and then misted over with Turquoise blue Glimmer Mist (this created the clouds) . I applied Sand and Old Lace Glimmer Mist to the bottom portion. On the flourish chip, I misted it with a concentrated mist of Turqouise Blue and dried it with my heat tool to create a vivid color. The title chips are the Regal Framed Font Alphabets that I misted in Peach Delight and in Meadow Green. I thought these colors complimented the colors of the Cosmo paper nicely.

We thanks for checking this out, hope you have a great day!

Happy Memorial Day everyone.  It’s such a wonderfull time to reflect upon the lives of those who have gone before us….for their love, examples, sacrifices, and influence.  We have so much to be thankful for.

For this first card, I used some traditionally patriotic colors….deep reds, creams, and shades of blue.  I coated the Embossed Regal Fleur de Leis Glimmer Chip with Glimmer Mist in Moonlight and then distressed the edges with sand paper and ink. 

For this fun tag, I used non-traditional colors to create a little something to express my gratitude.  I love the color combination of deep red, cream, yellow, and turquoise.  I coated the Embossed Regal Fleur de Leis Glimmer Chip with Glimmer Mist in Scarlet and Latte to create the deep red color.  Then topped it off with a dusting of white glitter and one more misting of Scarlet Glimmer Mist.

I hope you are each enjoying a wonderful holiday weekend and a special thank you to our soldiers and loved ones fighting for our freedom.

Cosmo Cricket and tattered Angels teaming up for a great blog relay

Melissa here with you on this beautiful Monday!

This morning I have a fun blog relay to share with you.  Tattered Angels has paired up with Cosmo Cricket. The Design Team members from both teams are mixing in products from these wonderful manufacturers and have been creating some beautiful things.  Today it’s my turn to share….and to shout out my love for Cosmo Cricket….lucky me…I was able to work with the Girl Friday line…I couldn’t resist smiling the whole time.  This line is adorable.

Along with the Girl Friday line from Cosmo Cricket, I used Tattered Angels Framed Fonts from the Nature Alphabet and Regal Alphabet sets.  I used beautiful Glimmer Mist in Mimosa and Sunflower to brighten then up and bring them to life. 

Yukari from Cosmo Cricket’s Design Team will be sharing her work on her blog.

And, Michelle Van Etten from Tattered Angels will be sharing her work on her blog. 

Thank you to both manufacturers for sponsoring this fun blog relay…I enjoyed myself so much!

We had a great time in Novi MI last week.  What a fun show.  Here are a fun photos from the booth,  classes and also  of class layouts.

Thanks MI for a great  Show!

It has been so hot lately, it feels like summer is here already.  The new beach themed bingo and calling cards were the inspiration for this summer layout.  I used the glimmer screens from the Master set.  I also used the Regal Framed Fonts for the title.  For the wave image on the left of the page I used the large swirl screen and sprayed over it with Turquoise and Riptide Glimmer Mist.  I cut out a circle of white cardstock and sprayed it with Peach Delight Glimmer Mist and then used the small swirl screen and stamped on the sun image using Tiger Lily Glimmer Mist.  For the sun rays I used another screen from the Master set, and stamped with it using Peach Delight Glimmer Mist.  I ran out of A’s for the title Aquarium, so I cut around the negative image of a framed font, then sprayed it with Riptide Glimmer Mist.  Then I cut strips of cardstock that I sprayed and ripped from the edge of the circle mat on the layout.  I placed them in a striped pattern on white cardstock, then layed the adhesive side of the “A” over the strips and cut it out.  For the word “long” I used Peach Delight and Pink Bubblegum Glimmer Mist.  The new bingo boards and calling cards are so easy to work with and versatile.  There are so many things you can do with them, just play!

On this card, I used both Patina and Sweet Pea Glimmer Mist. I created a bit of a shadow effect by first placing the Flights of Fancy Glimmer Screen on the patterned paper, and spraying with Patina. Using the same Screen, I wiped it off and then sprayed with Sweet Pea, then “stamped” the image onto a piece of white cardstock. Once dry, I lightly sprayed Patina across the top, then cut the bird out. I added some feathers to the back of the tail for extra interest and detailed with Stickles. I then used dimensional adhesive dots and positioned the bird over it’s ” shadow.” I backed the whole cardfront onto pink cardstock. This card is a bit larger measuring 6×6.

Happy Misting!

We were fighting Swine, one wipe at a time! LOL!

We had the pleasure of teaching a few classes while we were there, and the students were absolutely amazing to work with! So fun and ready to play with Glimmer Mist.

Although we did have a class crasher, I don’t believe I ever saw him pay… LOL Kyle decided to join in on the fun during our second class.

As promised here are pictures of the projects that we taught:

Our booth was hopping from start to finish, we did an amazing FREE make and take featuring the brand new Bingo Board and Calling Card sets, as well as screens, stamps, Glimmer Chips, Glimmer Glass and of course, Glimmer Mist!

As you can see my hands were nice and misted by end of day. I love how a little bit of Wheatfields Glimmer Mist makes my hands look radioactive.

Here is a shot of  Wendy demoing, you can see how I couldn’t even get the full crowd of spectators in the picture, yup Tattered Angels tends to draw a crowd!

So after a fun few days we decided to spend some time relaxing…feet in the sand and soaking up the sun

We had a great time in San Diego, be sure to catch up with Tattered Angels at an event near you, check here for dates and classes available in your area.

thanks for peeking in on our Tattered adventures!

Today is the  first day of the blog relay with Cosmo Cricket!  For my project I used the Cosmo Cricket lacing cards combined with the Ever After line of papers and embellishments.  I used Tattered Angels Glimmer Chips – Regal Embossed, and Glimmer Mist in Spanish Moss and Oriental Poppy.  For the center two panels of the lacing cards I simply sprayed them with the Glimmer Mist.  Glimmer Mist on chiboard is absolutely gorgeous.  It is hard to see in the pictures how “glimmery” it is, but it is dazzling in person.  Try it!  The other designers who will be posting projects today are:
