So now, in addition to my washcloth and paper towels, I keep a stack of tags in my area.  You can use purchased tags, or make your own using file folders.  Now, all glimmer mist over spray is sopped up with my tags in a variety of ways.  Sometimes I have quite a bit of mist on my mat, and it’s enough to nearly cover an entire tag.  Sometimes it’s not very much mist, so I add a little water to my mat and then drag the tag through the mist –resulting in more of a pastel color.  I also like leaving “white” space on the tags so additional colors and inks can be added.

What do I do with all those tags? I keep some of them in a little box, along with neutral colored embellishments like pearls, string, lace, buttons, flowers and bottle caps to create pretty tags to use on a gift bags, cards, or embellishments on layouts and mixed media projects.  It makes a great “to go” kit to take with me to a friend’s house, crops or even to create while watching TV.  Here are a few of the embellished tags from the “kit”.

I also keep a pile of these tags in my craft room to experiment with various techniques such as this tag – it’s one of the techniques we’re doing in my Tattered Techniques Tag class on May 19^th in a Northern California store – Art Inspired Studios.

Have you heard just how wonderful all the Tattered Angels Plain Jane collection work on wood? 

This was a project that I created for the CHA Tattered Angels booth using a Walnut Hollow signboard.   I also used Wendy Vichy Art Parts to embellish the signboard as well as Pink Paislee alphabet for my title.   Plain Jane paint products were used to color the entire project.  I did use some gesso on the leafy flourish before misting and a little distress ink over the crackle finish.  The crackle finish was created using Helmar 2-step Crackle Medium. This produces the most beautiful crackle finish.  

I stamped a piece of canvas and put it behind the Tim Holtz ornate frame along with a little fiberfill for the quilted look and I stamped a flourish randomly around the entire wood piece. 

I hope you’ll enjoy trying Plain Jane on different surfaces. 

On this page I used a brush and brushed on FLIRTY GLAZE and MELLOW YELLOW GLAZE directly onto the clear sheet.  I really like how you can change up the Clear Sheets and make them whatever colors you want them to be!  I made a stripe design for this page.  For the edges, I ran the sides with FUZZY COCONUT GLAZE.. its really a cool way to use the Glaze… for edging the sides!

On this page, I coated the entire page with SEA KELP GLAZE.  See how cool the color is?

And… I Really love how this page ended up!  What I did was to use MERMAID GLAM and GOLDEN GODDESS GLAM and flicked the Glam onto the page with a brush.  It made a little bit of a mess (beware of how far your glam can travel with the flicks!)  … but everytime you do it, the results are different and it’s really a lot of fun! Oh and in case you were wondering, I did put a piece of patterned paper behind each clear sheet!

So if you’ve been hoarding all your Glams and Glazes and you are not too sure how to use them… do try them out on clear acrylic sheets!  You’ll love them as much as I do!!!

Happy Scrappin’

I had so much fun creating this canvas.  This is a canvas by BasicGrey called the small Laurel Sampler.   The papers, buttons and brads are from the BasicGrey Picadilly collection.  Love the spring rainbow of colors in this collection.    The raw, pre-printed, stretched canvas was a joy to color with the Tattered Angels paint products.  I used Plain Jane Simply Sheer pink, Trunk Bay Glimmer Mist, Sun Sisters Glimmer Mist, and Firefly Chalkboard.  The canvas took the color beautifully and still allowed me to blend across the edges of color without becoming muddy.   The circles were cut with punches and then randomly misted with the same colors for just a little more pop and then crinkled and layered with buttons and brads to make a penny quilt type of design.   This was even my first Tattered TV episode, so if you would like to watch the whole thing created from start to finish in an hour, then join me over at Tattered TV to watch this specific episode.   While you are there, check out a few other the other fabulous educators projects or bookmark it to come back later.   Mark you calendar to meet us back there again on Wednesday night at 6:00 PST for another fabulous episode.   It’s always an opportunity to learn some new techniques and chat with new friends.  Hope to see you there. 

Anyways for this layout, I used Plain Jane’s Simply Sheer (similar to Glimmer Mist without the glimmer), Baseboard (simpler to Chalkboard without the glimmer) and Stained Glass…. like Glimmer Glam/Glaze minus the glimmer/glitter.

For the background I used Stained Glass in a variety of colors and spread it across the page with a palette knife. It’s my new favorite tool to use! Just imagine you are spreading butter onto your piece of bread! It’s real simple.  Then I misted the cloud on the top left and the chipboard sun rays with some Baseboard and Simply Sheer and stained the metal birdcage from Prima using Stained Glass.

For the alphas, I rubbed Stained Glass over it.. ITS REALLY EASY!

You should be able to get the new Plain Jane products in the next couple of weeks at your LSS!  Do check them out…

I leave you with another project for Plain Jane.. look how nice the Baseboard goes over wood!  I love the finish!

For this layout, I misted some Mel’s Diner on the background and it  just gave the layout a different feel.

I also placed down some alphabet masks and sprayed the title and then removed the masks, leaving the negative image.

For this next layout, I sprayed some glimmer mist on the mat and rubbed a Prima mask in the mist. then I applied it to the background, showing the positive image. It enhances the photos as well.

Just small little touches of glimmer mist will definitely ADD to your project. One that’s hard to show is that I like spraying all my home decor projects with Irridescent Gold, or Old Lace, one of those that deposits glimmer versus dense colour. It shines so beautiful when light hits it.

Have fun getting glimmery!

This altered frame was quite a challenge, but ended up better than I had originally imagined.  I found the frame on clearance and wanted to alter it, but the problem was that it had a glossy finish so it wasn’t really suitable for misting with inks.   I didn’t want to paint it with a gesso and risk the loss any of the flourish details, so a little experimentation came into play.   I took a trip to the hardware store and bought a spray-paint primer in a matte finish.   Imagine my surprise when after a coat of primer dried, the mists still beaded and did not want to stick.   So, Plan B.   This time I carried my mists outside and sprayed the frame once more with primer and while the primer was still wet and tacky, I began misting.   I also found that if I would dry the mists with my heat gun between layers, I got this lovely pooling of colors as well as a unique speckling of glimmer goodness.   I used a variety of pink Tattered Angels Glimmer Mists on the entire frame and insert pieces; Vintage Pink, Valentine Pink, Cadillac Pink, Tutti Frutti, Party Pink, and Pomegranate. 

The inside of the frame is Mistable paper and Mistable pleated ribbon by Pink Paislee.   The dress form is a chipboard piece from Basically Bare that was embossed and misted and finally dressed with a wrapped skirt of ribbon trim and a little bling around the neckline.   The quote was printed on my computer and after cutting and misting, I used Helmar ZapDots to pop them up. 

So, with a little determination and effort, I might be able to mist anything.

And Plain Jane Baseboard works great on fabric too!  The back side of this project is a fabric memo board. I misted Baseboard Clay onto the fabric through the Crafter’s Workshop Paradise stencil.

I can hardly wait for all these new products to arrive at my local scrapbook store, and I hope you’ll give them a try too.

And here’s a sneak peek at my Tattered TV project for Wednesday, February 15th at 6pm PST.   See you there!

I used one of the add-on pages for the Fastenation Folder by Tattered Angels to create the card.  This amazing paper has a resist finish and as you can see…. the Glimmer Mist was resisted in those portions.

I sprayed a coat of Valentine Pink Glimmer Mist and then brushed on some Grandma’s House Glimmer Glam over the card.  Then I sprayed the card with Polka Dot Pink Chalkboard.  LOVE the colors!

For the tag on the side, I sprayed it with the new Cross My Heart Glimmer Mist.  I like how rich the color is.. its kind of a pinkish red color.

Then for the alphas, I used a light coat of Cupid Glimmer Mist.

Voila!!! Easy Peasy…

I will be back next month to show you some projects that I did for the CHA booth so until then……. Happy Valentine’s Day in advance and if you’re going to CHA… remember to drop by the Tattered Angels booth and say HI!

Love,
Jasmine.

I began by coating the entire surface in Valentine Pink Glimmer Mist. When misting on a wood surface, use a heat tool to speed the drying process before applying the next color. Then I misted the layers of color horizontally, beginning with Be Mine, then Cross My Heart, followed by Cupid.

I dipped a flat paintbrush into the Cross My Heart Glimmer Mist and painted the inside and outer edges of the frame.

I misted Valentine Pink on white cardstock. I dried the cardstock with a heat tool. Then I misted Cupid over the crown Glimmer Screen. I fussy cut the crown, added black adhesive rhinestones and trimmed the edges with a black marker.

I misted the two balsa wood hearts in Valentine Pink then used different sections of a heart Glimmer Screen to create the pattern. I misted the one on the left in Valentine Pink and Cupid, the other with Cross My Heart and Cupid. You can see the difference in the crispness of the image. The one on the left was completely dry before I applied the next color, the one on the right was still damp and created a fuzzier pattern.

Tip! Tip! Tip! When working with wood, your surface MUST be dry before you attempt to adhere anything to the surface. This applies to trimming the edge in marker as well. If you want to gunk up a marker and throw it away, try coloring on a wet surface. Allow the surface to dry and you will be able to create nice crisp lines with your marker. Just a tip!

I adhered the elements with varying levels of foam tape. And last but not least, I added the “Princess” title and Prima Say It in Crystals black swirl.

Enjoy your Glimmer Mists!
