A Springtime full of Tattered Angels Paints

Posted on May 17, 2012 by Holly

It’s springtime here in the Rocky Mountain Region and the grass, the trees and all the flower buds are so beautiful.  I’ve been spending as much time outside as I can!  These projects were inspired by all the lovely colors outside.Have you ever tried using Glimmer Mist or Glimmer Glam on wood?  It’s so wonderful!  I found a very plain wooden bird house and decided it needed some glimmer!

I started by spraying the Glimmer Mist on the wooden bird house.  If you continue to spray the wooden bird house while each color is wet, they blend so beautifully.  You can also paint the Glimmer Mist on to really show the wood grain, but for the bird house I misted all the colors.  I used Cranberry Zing, Spring Violet, Blackberry Cordial, and Bell Bottom Jeans.

I painted the roof with Tide Pool Glimmer Glam, and added some Want2Scrap Bling and a Bitty Blossom Spellbinders die template.  I stamped some swirls and added some glitter glass.

I am really into creating tags right now.  I love them in all sizes and particularly manilla shipping tags.  This one is extra large.

I used a piece of laser cut paper and placed it over the tag.  Then spread a thin layer of matte medium over the paper and peeled off.  I allowed the matte medium to dry.

I painted the bottom 1″ of the tag with Green Stained Glass.  Then the next 1 1/2″ with Mermaid Glimmer Glam.  Next I pained about 2′ with Tide Pool Glimmer Glam.  I misted the top of the tag with Olive Glimmer Mist, then painted the top of the tag with Chandelier Glimmer Glam and allowed to dry.

The glimmer really pools nicely.  I love all the texture and depth in this tag.  Matte medium and Glimmer Glam are fabulous together!

I die cut Spellbinders Jewel Fantasies and colored with metallic pigment ink, the I die cut Jewel Alphabet for the word “HOPE”.  I painted on more Chandelier Glimmer Glam.  I wrapped Canvas Corp twine around the tag, then painted Chandelier Glimmer Glam on Graphic 45 cardboard buttons.  Adhered a few pieces of bling, and love how much texture and color it shows.

I hope you enjoyed my projects today, and can find some inspiration in the springtime colors outside.

Have a wonderful day!

Spring tags

Posted on May 16, 2012 by Jana

Hello scrapbookers with wings! I hope you are having fun misting and creating new and fascinating projects. This month my post is dedicated to tags! I love to create them and they always find a way to enhance the thing or the place they adorn.

 

Here is the first one:  “The Thank you breeze”. Dragonfly and Pop rocks Glimmer mist applied with a pintbrush. Yes, no misting here but an unusual  application to make the embossing come out even more. With a paint brush you can really play on the different parts of the tag and intensify some areas more than other.

 

The second tag is “Light green thoughts”.  Gold and Olive vine Glimmer mists are making a perfect background for a glittered butterfly. Also here the Glimer mist was applied with a paintbrush and the Olive vine was also used to gave more shine to the flower.

And here is the third tag – “Foggy wish”. The color combo that was present in the first tag is repeted also on this one but you can see how different is the result when Glimmer mist is applied on a smooth fabbric that soaks the color and leaves the glimmer on the surface…. In RL this tag shines  like a star!

 

I hope you have a great May and that all of you enjoy the colors of the great Tattered Angels paint! Have a nice day!

Some light misting

Posted on May 15, 2012 by Evgenia

Hello ladies! Evgenia Petzer today with you, once again wanted to congratulate everyone with Mother’s Day, that was my card for this occasion. I covered the chipboard from Tattered Angles with Rockin’ on sunshine Glam, it gave all that fabulous glow, that lots of women like)
As some of you have noticed, I don’t use tons of glimmer mist, but I love that effect of few drops, it gives a bit of dimension and color and adds accents in the places where you need it. Here I used Walnut gold glimmer mist and and some drops of Tide pool Glam.
Here I used some Creme de Chocolate mist, love the mist effect on a white cardstock.


That’s it from me for today, will see you in June*)

Happy crafting.

Colors of spring

Posted on May 14, 2012 by Birgit

Hi there and welcome to the Tattered Angels blog.

Today I want to share with you these art journal pages.

To create the background I first covered the pages with Gesso and then sprayed with Key Lime Pie and Aquamarine. The Gesso gives the colors a lighter and softer look than that they actually are.

Then I took a strip of cardstock, punched out some circles next to each other and laid it on top of the pages. I then sprayed with Red-Nosed Reindeer to create the flower centers.

After that I turned my journal upside down and let some Meadow Green glimmer mist drip from the bottom up. Then I took a black pen and drew in all the details, added pieces of book paper, colored in the petals with a white pen, used some punchanella and distress ink to add some texture to the background.

After I finished all this I thought there was something missing in the upper background and I added the sticker letters. Because they where white I had to cover everything else up and spray the top part again to make the letters fade into the background. Next time I should do that first, makes it much easier. Finally I splashed some indian ink on and colored the edges of the pages with black Stazon.

The next I want to show you are 2 tags I made a while ago. Again the background was covered with Gesso, only this time I did not spray the chalkboard and mist. I took of the lid off, dripped some Firefly chalkboard on my misting mat and put the tags on top with the right side down. Then I dripped some Wild Plum glimmer mist at the top of the left tag and let it run down, repeating the same procedure from the bottom up. To create the splashes I  just let the glimmer mist drip from the straw that is inside the bottle. The dots on the book paper where made with punchanella and Stazon ink.

Thank you for stopping by today! Hope you got a little bit inspired to get your mists out and create something colorful! :)

Have a great week!

Happy misting!

Hello Everybody,

For today, I would like to show you two of my last creation for a Summer workshop in France !

A mini book about Hawaï and a layout “How time flies”, I used the same technic for the cover and to build the background of my layout.

To make yourself your own background you only need :

-A template

-Gesso

-A card to apply gesso

-Your favorites Glimmer Mist ! I used 3 differents colors : Sunflower, Peach Delight, Oriental Poppy

Step 1- Begin to put your template on a soft cardstock, white or kraft is the best for me.

Step 2- Add some gesso with a plastic card

Step 3- Let it dry !

Step 4- Spray with one or more Glimmer Mist !

Step 4- Let it dry and complete your layout :)

Material :

Layout “How time flies” :

Papers : American Crafts, Basic Grey

Overlay : Hambly

Alphabets : Jenni Bowlin, October Afternoon

Stickers : Jenni Bowlin

Templates : The Crafter’s Workshops, Pause Créative

Others : Tags, masking tape

I used the same technic to built and embellish my mini book’s album.Instead to use a cardstock, I used a soft cardboard.

See you on 27th !

Come Fly with Me!!

Posted on May 7, 2012 by Zoe

Hey Glimmer Mist fans… Zoe here today with a couple of projects to share, I made up the background using one of my favourite Crafters Workshop screen… I’m addicted to the 6×6 ones… Matched up with some Storyteller papers from Crate Paper…

The glimmer mist colours I used were Twinkle Yellow & Harvest Orange when I mist with screens I spray and then use a paper towel to soak up the excess so when I pull away my screen it leaves a neater edge :)

I also used Oil Slick glimmer glaze which I love to flick and pour on in places it looks so much like an old ink splotch.

Next up I created a Canvas using a 8×8 Medium Texture Canvas Corp canvas!!! I actually just took my spray lid off and painted my canvas with Mallard Glimmer Mist and Mint Chocolate Glimmer Chalk.

I also painted over the top of my glass bead clouds with the glimmer mist… unfortunately it doesnt show up very well on camera but they really do glimmer!

I also highlighted and put a few splotches of Timberline glimmer mist too!!! I just wish I could show you this in real life :) Lastly a top coat of Iridescent Gold Glimmer Mist.

And thats my post for today I will be back later in the month with more glimmery projects to share :)

This book covers all my different art journaling….my songs of art.
My second project is this layout. I love this color combo – purple and green. On this one I have uses Glimmermist Key Lime and Chalkboard Grape Ape. The black spots are Glimmermist Beetle Black
And finally – one “clean” layout. This layout I made after visiting a very beautiful city in North of Norway – Tromsø. I was lucky to be invited to this city to teach some classes…and the city and the nature around it was absolutely breath taking. This one I call “Thank you Tromsø”.
I have used some gesso and water to make the white spots and the green/blue is Glimmermist Dragonfly.

I hope you like my projects ! See you soon!

Feathers, Butterflies, and paint splats :) :) :)

Posted on April 29, 2012 by Louise

Hello Hello Guys

My apologies that this post is a little late, the internet/wordpress and I are having issues :)

For April I would like to share with you 3 layouts I created using 3 very simple background effects featuring the awesome Tattered Angels mists and glaze.

With this first layout I have used a very simple but effective background technique to highlight my featured photo. I have begun with creating a splat of gesso and then allowed it to dribble down the page. I have then added another splat/pool of colour over this, just as you would use layers of patterned paper and card stock to created a colourful matt/background for my photo. Here I have the beautiful Fairway Chalkboard glimmer mist, and then added a few extra splats of colour with the Valencia, Chalkboard glimmer mist.

 

This particular layout I have used a favourite technique with Glimmer mist and misted water to create a splatty water mark effect; I have created a mini step-by-step using this technique creating a similar layout HERE :)  I have used one of my favourite glimmer mists; Black Magic. I have finished off the title alpha and chipboard hearts with a beautiful glimmer glaze, and added a few extra splats around them and my photo.

 

With this layout I have used one of the fabulous new CHA 2012 release Crafters Workshop templates, designed by Julie Fei-Fan Balzer. I used white gesso with the peacock feather template to create a background design. This was then ‘coloured’ using glaze on the feather ‘eye’ and then a covered with a combination of; Twinkle Yellow Glimmer mist, and Firefly ,  Fairway, and Calypso Chalkboard glimmer mists.

Well that is my creative Tattered Angels fun for this month, I do hope you enjoy.

Cheers and Happy Scrapping :)

Louise :) :) :)

Layouts and tags…

Posted on April 26, 2012 by Anna B

Hello from Sweden! I hope you’re having a wonderful week, with lots of creating and misting! :) I am sharing my April projects today, two layouts and a couple of tags.

I created my background for this layout by first applying some gesso and when it was dry I used two different Glimmer Mists: Patina and Key Lime Pie, and one Chalkboard Glimmer Mist: Charcoal, on top of the gesso and the pink cardstock. The butterflies are painted with Glimmer Glam Pink Lipstick, the lace is coloured with Glimmer Mist Patina and I also splattered some Glimmer Glam Mermaid over the background. The thickers were misted with Glimmer Mist Cherry Blossom.

For my second layout I used a stencil from Crafter’s Workshop together with gesso and I then painted my entire background with Glimmer Glam Espresso Bean.

I used Glimmer Mist Olive Vine on the Doily, Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Banana Pudding on the lace and Glimmer Glaze Orange Crush on the wooden bird.

I really love the look of the background, entirely covered in Glam!

The Olive Vine mist is so beautiful, with the green and gold together.

Finally, I created these two tags. I wrote “tack” on them, which means “thank you”. I think they might serve as teachers gifts at the end of the term and since I’m normally always doing those things last minute, I am quite pleased with myself having about a month and a half to find some gifts to go with them… :)

I started out with collaging some old book pages to my tags. I then added gesso and created some texture, before painting with acrylic paint. I then stamped the butterflies using stamps from Purple Onion Designs and covered the tags with Glimmer Glam Organic Garden. I added more pattern on top of the dry glam, using gesso and a home made stencil. When the gesso was dry I misted the tags with Glimmer Mist Key Lime Pie and Glimmer Mist Lemon Zest.

The flowers were misted with Chalkboard Glimmer Mist Strawbery Shortcake, Glimmer Mist Cherry Blossom and Glimmer Mist Patina.

I painted the clear buttons with Glimmer Glam Chandelier.

The ribbons were misted too, using the same mists as above.

Thank you for visiting the Tattered Angels blog!
