Now on to my project for this month's challenge. I made a process video so you could see how I made my project I titled "Key to My Heart". I know that it's past Valentine's Day, but we still call it the Love Month, right? Here it is:

Here's a summary of the process, step by step:

Step 1: Prepare surfaces by adding Gesso.

Step 2: Brush on your base coat (I used FolkArt Metallic Garnet Red)

Step 3: Begin adding layers. I used different types of pastes and metallic acrylic paint by Prima Art Alchemy. (Listed in video)

Step 4: Stencil, using Textured Paste. Use heat gun to dry

Step 5: I started using various mist sprays to add color, drying in between coats

Step 6: Add glitter paste in various areas

Step 7: I then took my lace heart and used the same base color as the key 

Step 8: While the heart finished drying, I then took my "LOVE" and painted it a purple base coat (a little later you'll see I also painted around the edge, which can be done in this step too).

Step 9: Back to the heart- I added different layers of embossing powders, ending with a holographic powder to give it more shine and depth.

Step 10: I then took my "XOXO" and pressed it into my VersaMark and sprinkled gold embossing powder on top of it. 

Step 11: I added clear embossing powder onto my heart. The reason I do these in the order I did, is to give each piece a little extra "setting time". 

Step 12: I took my LOVE and added red geranium and then holographic embossing powders. With the last layer of embossing powder, and while still warm, I sprinkled mountain ice glitter and pressed lightly

Step 13: I wasn't happy with the key, so I went back to it and added more embossing powders and glitter paste. I took a DecoColor paint pen (gold) around the side of the key and heart, plus on the top edge of the key.

Step 14: Glue it all together, and it's done! 

Here are photos of the finished project:

Thanks for stopping in! I hope that this will give you inspiration to try something and join in on the challenge!

Crash Your Stash- The Outlawz

Hi fellow crafters! We have an awesome new Crash Your Stash Challenge over at the Outlawz! 

The purpose of this Challenge is to encourage you to use those items that are no longer trending and probably stashed away in a drawer. Forgotten and alone. So, we are here to help inspire you to dig those items out and bring them new life! This month's challenge is Chipboard!

Come play along with us!

Sponsor for This Challenge

We are 3 Digital Shop

FEBRUARY - CUE: Chip board - This can be shapes, words, letters etc

PRIZE: Recipe Cards

Now take a look at what I made using chipboard:

My first step was to take some very thin chipboard that I had in my stash (for a long time....), and cut out some cogs with my Silhouette. I needed to make them look more realistic, and rustic, like they had been there on the side of a road somewhere...or anywhere, for that matter....so I took each piece and pressed them into VersaMark and then heat embossed Ultra Thick Embossing Powder. I did that at least twice (usually 3 times). This way it hardens up the piece and gives it a bit of a shine.

I then took different pastes of various colors (green, rusty red, etc) that had the look of patina and rust. All of mine were from Art Alchemy (Prima). After I got the results I wanted, I then took Kraft cardstock and used it as a foundation for my card.

My dilemma? What color of paper to mount on top of the Kraft paper, so I can mount my cogs on. You'd think that would be easy, but then it hit me....Green! A dark green would be perfect (anyway, that's what I was thinking...lol). So I mounted the green on the Kraft, and then mounted the cogs on top of the green. I added a bow and strung twine around the edge, then added my sentiment.

I hope that you enjoyed this and that it will give you inspiration to use some of your chipboard stash! And thank you for stopping by!
