Patina paints project from creative expressions for In2craft




Hi all
I was asked by In2craft to do a project showing how to use the Creative expressions patina paint .I am part of the  In2craft  Design Team so i have made a couple of frames and a video to accompany them so you can have a go for yourself . It is great fun and so easy.so here is the link to my Youtube channel where there are a few lovely projects to follow on there for you to watch https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvF-MAbxHNR8mQN6PnOvEmA
This is for the Patina paint video tutorial https://youtu.be/cJh__H3zRb0  . The patna paints i used are  the set containing the blue and green and copper coloured paint. here are some close up pics of the finished frames .Both were done using the same colours




This frame had more copper and gold  guilding wax applied to it.It looks so different to the first one with just the extra copper and gold



I hope you like the video and will have a go at this easy technique for yourselves . Check out In2craft  for your creative expressions supplies / xcut dies/ Phil martin stamps and dies , / Lisa Horten /Sue wilson /Jane Davenport/Julia watts ...its all there and at fantastic prices too .
Happy crafting

Fabulous !!!


Hi
As you know i am part of the In2craft  DT and i have just received my latest stash of new creative expressions dies in the post so  i got to work using as many of them as i could on one card lol. I chose Navy and  pale lemon as the colours for a change and i am happy with the combination.
The flowers have been made using the new Creative expressions finishing touches  layered carnation die set they were easy to put together and are so pretty . I also used the leaves that came with the carnation set and the finishing touches Fern fronds  to dress around the flowers



The background has been created using the  background Celtic squares die . i just continued to elongate the panel to create enough to fit on an 8X8 card .


The focal die here in the centre is the pretty Abigail die from the frames and tags collection. The bow has been created using organza ribbon and my Craft-deebowz. BOW MAKING TOOL ..An essential piece of kit for those beautiful bows and tassles we all need on our projects.




The word is also a die from creative expressions mini expressions range

Happy birthday to my sis


Hi
Wow the months are flying by . I love this time of year it is my favorite season. I love all the colors when the leaves change ,so pretty.
This months inspiration card for  Craftdeebowz  is  the card i made for my sister who is actually  75 yrs young today. She adores butterflies so there had to be one on her card .


I used a beautiful postcard stamp with the butterfly on it from Joy crafts ,but i cut an extra butterfly out and added it for dimension.
The papers are from Crafters companion shabby chic collection.The flowers are from wild orchid.


The bow was formed using delicate organza ribbon and my Craftdeebowz bow maker ,you can get one for yourself and the details are in the left hand side bar




The sentiment is computer generated . i love the dimension this card has and the soft colors make it feel so feminine and pretty
