December Mixed Media kit fun!

well hello hello from warm and cozy Mexico! I hope everyone is doing well.. hAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Here is to a WONDERFUL 2013!!! 

I have a fun treat today.. A video i did using the Scarlet Lime Mixed Media kit for December! Super excited about this kit because  I included some funky stuff and REALLY wanted to teach you some new things I recently discovered when trying to make my own "clay" look.

This month's kit included a fun configuration box from Tim Holtz, as well as lots of other goodies.. but I wanted to use it in a non conventional sort of way. Most of what you see if also very "distressed".. and I wanted to create something fun and bright with it!  So here we go!

I wanted to make sure that EVERY part of the pieces in the kit were altered in some way of another.. just not "adhered" onto the "canvas". I really wanted EVERy piece to be it's own artsy point of interest.

The clips are from Maya road and were originally grey wire. of course I painted them.. added a book paper behind them and then shaded it and doodles on it.

 

Included some fun embellishments that we altered as well. Painted, stitched, doodled

 

 

 

Even the key was painted and doodled on. really wanted to keep this entire thing BRIGHT! But the best part of it all? Making your own "clay" out of tin foil and book paper!

 

So.. here is the 30 min video that shows you the entire process from start to finish! Hope you enjoy!! can't WAIT to see what you do with the kit! AND YES.. if you are wondering.. WE DO have these kits left in our store! Check out our store www.scarletlime.com  the store part! We have them in the mixed media kit section!

What a brilliant idea! I have stayed away from configurations line because shadow boxes don't thrill me. So love what you've done with it. Thanks - wish I'd thought of that!

Christy, it's just adorable! I bought 2 of those boxes when they went on sale at a lsl and had already started altering one prior to your kit. When I got the kit I was so excited to see what you would create. Just love it. Thanks for sharing.

Really like the idea of using the backside of the boxes as mini canvases -- brilliant! I have already made a few of the shadow boxes so I'm loving this new, fresh, idea. Thanks Christy!

i love all of your tutorials. if anyone is interested scrapbook updates has cha winter 2013 previews. I kept looking for something from christy regarding sprays that are permanent and now i see that tim holtz has some fabulous sprays that can be mixed when they are wet and then are permanant when dry for mixed media. There is a video on his site. i am so excited that i will no longer have to dab the modge poudge onto the canvas but just keep layering.

туры на кубу
отдых в тайланде цены


В каждом городе обычно разнообразное множество туристических агентств, а еще есть Интернет порталы, и сами туроператоры распродают путёвки. Как же не потеряться в этом многообразии зазывной рекламы, где каждый утверждает, что он лучший.
Давайте разберемся. Туристическое агентство никак не влияет на качество отеля или пляжа. приобретая тур, в один и тот же отель, у отдельных агентств, разной будет только плата, отель останется тем же.

Что же такого необычного предлагает туристический портал mirskidok.ru. Заказчикам предлагают выбрать себе тур по самой низкой цене в городе. После того, как вы обнаружили то, что нужно, сотрудники сделают еще более интересное предложение для этого же тура! В случае, если тур доступен для бронирования, вам тут же забронируют тур по более выгодной цене.

У них это называется «Гарантия Прекрасной цены». Портал mirskidok.ru представляет специализированную сеть турагентств, предоставляющие туры по раннему бронированию, со скидками и «горящие». Единственное, так посчастливилось не всем, офисы предприятия работают в Москве, Санкт- Петербурге и Выборге. Выбрать тур можно и прямо на портале mirskidok.ru, здесь есть своя поисковая система туров, одна из надежных по соотношению цена/качество.
