The Stampendous DT is playing with
EnviroTex Craft Resin this week. Carmi over at the
Resin Crafts Blog is also playing along with us and her projects are fantastic.
I tried a few different projects just learning how to use the resin. I decided to start small and create a pendant for my first project:
I stamped the background using the sweet
Charm Collection Clear Set and added touch of blue dye inks on the background and the bird. I added the
bronze glass glitter into the bezel and added the resin.I was really pleased with this and will use it on a project in the future.
My next project I decided to try to create a paper weight using a jar top I had in my stash:
I thought it would be fun to create some acetate stamped images to float in the resin:
I used the Stampendous
Butterfliesand stamped them using StazOn black ink on acetate. They were cut out using detail scissors. I covered all the metal surfaces using Versamark and
Shabby White Embossing Enamel. I poured the resin and added a layer of
gold glitter and my butterflies. I added a few different metallic charms to the resin. Then I thought I would add a touch of color and I added drops of purple glimmer mist. I then swirled around the glimmer mist and it made little purple bubbles and I loved the effect.
On Saturday I will share my next two projects with a few more lessons learned. :)
Now off to see the DT projects for today:

ReplyDeleteWhy do I have this vision of you bending over the jar ring, mumbling under your breath like an evil witch while you carefully place each piece and drop color, etc? Such a cool idea! And that pendant is so gorgeous.
