Glitter....What?

   Hello everyone, can you believe it is July already? I sure can't but I am finding it less hectic this year than last year. You might remember the dyed daisies I showed a few years ago. I normally do it every year but last year I completely forgot, my parents chalk it up to me being nervous due to the fact I has going to Ohio a week later for the first eye surgery. 

   Anyways, this year I dyed them a little early so I won't forget but this year I did something extra. I glittered some mason jars for the vases. That is right I worked with glitter and I can say I didn't get covered in it. I know a glitter miracle. 

Directions:

1. Tape off a section of the jars. I used some washi tape because I have ton of that laying around that I sure I will never get used.

2. Using a foam brush apply your mod podge. 

3. Apply the glitter. Make sure you use a fine glitter. Let dry.

4. Apply a layer o mod podge over the glitter to seal it. This will make sure you won't get glitter transferring.

Tip wear some gloved so it doesn't get all over your hands. 

   Enjoy your Independence day. Have safe travels. 

Farmers Blooms - SBC #460

   It is the start of a new week and for like most people this week is going to busy. It is a tad busier for me since today is my dad's birthday.

   Today's Scrapbook Challenges sketch reveal is #460. I love the starburst in it. 

   For this page I knew I wanted to use a bright photo.   There is not much of a story to the flowers just something my dad wanted to pick up for my mom at one of the many Farmer's Market outings this summer.  

 Supplies: cardstock (The paper Studio), pattern paper (Echo Park, My Mind's Eye and Crate Paper), washi tape (My Mind's Eye and Doodlebug Designs), stamps (Studio G and EK Success), chipboard (Prima), die cuts (Basic Grey), stickers (Basic Grey and American Crafts), ink (Momento and Close to my Heart), sequins (Studio Calico), gelato (Faber-Castell)

   The starburst was a little tricky to master but thanks to washi tape it hides all wonky cuts and pen lines. 

    I first started this on a white sheet of cardstock but I started adding all the embellishments and papers I was hating that stark white. I ended up taking some flower stamps and stamped it in three different inks. Then took gelatos and colored the background paper. I think it turned out great and was a perfect way to turn a page I was not liking into something that is so cheery,

Happy Independence Day

Today, is our nation's 237th birthday. To help decorate for such a special occasion I dyed some white daisies red and blue with neon food coloring.
I put 10 drops of red dye in a spice jar filled with water and stuck the white daisies into it. Did the same with the blue.

 I did this overnight and this is how they looked this morning.

I mixed the flowers together and added clear water to the jars. I also tied a piece of twine around the neck of the jars.
Happy Fourth of July to all my blog readers and have a safe and fun day.
God Bless.

Daisy Hop with The Robins Nest

   Hi, everyone if you didn't arrive here via Terri Sproul start at the start of the hop and work you way through so you wouldn't miss any of the great projects the design team have made. "Daisy".

   This project might shock some of you since this shadow box is completely different style than I would normally would do.  I started with a shadow box that had the flower pot already on it. It was one I painted before years ago but I out grew the look so I thought it was time to revamp it. 

 Supplies: pattern papers (The Robin's Nest), dew drops (The Robin's Nest), masks (The Crafter's Workshop and I also used a sticker negative), mists ( Heidi Swapp  and I also made some with Smooch paint), inks (Amuse Studio, Close To My Heart, Quick Quotes), stamps (Gel-a-tins), embossing powder (Gel-a-tins)  modeling paste, doily, and pom-pom trim.

Close-ups.

 The pink paper is one of the sorbet papers that is the month's special at The Robin's Nest. 

 I love pom-poms and I thought they would add a nice touch to this.

While the paste was still wet I added embossing powder and heat set and dry it all in one motion. It kinds of make the paste bubble and puff up. 

 I smeared paste all over and rubbed inks and misted the whole thing. 

The flower centers are stamped and the flowers were die cut from the sorbet paper.

 The post I covered in paste, added the dew drops and misted while it was still wet. 

Since you survived this long post how does a "Daisy Prize" package sound to one lucky person. It will include Tear drop, paper, and embellishments. Each design team member is giveaway this. There is going to be 1 Grand Prize winner who will get a $25 certificate to The Robin's Nest.
