Then a heat gun was used to dry out the crackle paste. There was a mix of some areas crackling and others not because of the wetness when applied. </p><p>After that the background was cut for the card from one of the pieces. Then the birds were stamped using black archival ink with the various images on some inky remnants. The birds and feather were covered in versamark ink and then a layer of clear embossing powder heated up. This made the colors more vibrant and added another pop to the color on the cut out images. </p><p>Happy inking! </p><p>Suzz</p><p>Products: </p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Sizzix_Tim_Holtz_Vault_Thinlits_Die_Lovebirds_p/die_666566.htm" target="_blank">Sizzix Tim Holtz The Vault - Lovebirds </a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Idea_ology_Backdrops_Volume_4_TH94308_p/th94308.htm" target="_blank">Idea-Ology Tim Holtz Backdrops 4 </a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Tim_Holtz_Distress_Crackle_Paste_Opaque_TDA71303_p/tda71303_2022.htm" target="_blank">Ranger Texture Paste Opaque Crackle</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Tim_Holtz_Distress_Crackle_Paste_Opaque_TDA71303_p/tda71303_2022.htm" target="_blank">Ranger Tim Holtz Halloween Mica Stain Set 1</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Distress_Oxide_Spray_Mermaid_Lagoon_TSO64770_p/tso64770.htm" target="_blank">Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Spray - Mermaid Lagoon</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/VersaMark_Watermark_Ink_Stamp_Pad_p/vm_vm01.htm" target="_blank">Versamark Watermark Ink</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Ranger_Embossing_Powder_Clear_EPJ37330_p/epj37330.htm" target="_blank">Ranger Clear Embossing Powder</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Stampers_Anonymous_Tim_Holtz_Flourish_THS032_p/ths032.htm" target="_blank">Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Flourish Stencil</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Tim_Holtz_Stamp_Set_Eccentric_CMS448_p/cms448.htm" target="_blank">Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Eccentric</a></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Tim_Holtz_Stamp_Set_Correspondence_CMS225_p/cms225.htm" target="_blank">Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Correspondence </a><br /></li><li><a href="https://www.thefunkiejunkie.com/Ranger_Archival_0_Ink_Pad_Jet_Black_AIP31468_p/archivaljb.htm" target="_blank">Ranger Archival Ink - Jet Black </a></li></ul><p></p>Suzanne Chttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03797775244763978705noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672680994552604313.post-18550754814207723612024-01-19T02:00:00.085-06:002024-01-19T02:00:00.149-06:00It's Cold Outside!<p>We are definitely feeling the cold this week!

The seasons are changing rapidly here as is the weather. Thanksgiving is just around the corner. It is this time of year we count our blessings and express our gratitude. I decided to play around with the Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Sketchy leaves to capture the fall feeling and then paired it with a simple sentiment around the sweet life. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxy_9eFjemFf1RjqKmySRvbkdn88rB18Qojkox40v6DRByQ0XqsciAG5qIgNfdgSgNup6WKMEmPP6D26hbzHjd929IYUs0oG1Gufj-hZmtu0kM9sZhQYy2KT_mf8fGc-AviTiuOtk5Kd5ZLhsYellD_LOPGVNazNor_zUL6T2nl-mDTMxgdXEw5-Ov6rhd/s400/P1014481.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxy_9eFjemFf1RjqKmySRvbkdn88rB18Qojkox40v6DRByQ0XqsciAG5qIgNfdgSgNup6WKMEmPP6D26hbzHjd929IYUs0oG1Gufj-hZmtu0kM9sZhQYy2KT_mf8fGc-AviTiuOtk5Kd5ZLhsYellD_LOPGVNazNor_zUL6T2nl-mDTMxgdXEw5-Ov6rhd/w400-h400/P1014481.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p>I started with a series of leaves stamped in various styles.

media is a type of visual art that combines more than one medium or

I was thinking about creating a series of items that would fit in a treasure chest. I heated up a big batch of gold and black embossing powder and poured that into the molds. I let them cool off and popped out the pieces. The embossing powder I had was mixed ended up with more black on the images than gold. I wanted more gold to prevalent, so I used the metallique wax to smear over the surface and add the gold highlights. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><p></p><p>You can see the various pieces from the molds mixed in with the other treasures. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi00Blg81B893s8EBnE0hTZI-zWRzwasKEqEo58GwMoh0niOHInfVkNMlVi7N9Hph_8M3rTg_nzegvGGuO3vPcsQRe9Lx6WSqQctL5rkftteclx3HJKsW2MKh9siJhyphenhyphenY_g9Zj7YY1UJk7N2A6VXEssLZORirX4ilHfVDaQyj4bt9c1NJsiXp1oEGxxQ7uuY/s400/Treasure%20Chest%20for%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique%207.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi00Blg81B893s8EBnE0hTZI-zWRzwasKEqEo58GwMoh0niOHInfVkNMlVi7N9Hph_8M3rTg_nzegvGGuO3vPcsQRe9Lx6WSqQctL5rkftteclx3HJKsW2MKh9siJhyphenhyphenY_g9Zj7YY1UJk7N2A6VXEssLZORirX4ilHfVDaQyj4bt9c1NJsiXp1oEGxxQ7uuY/w400-h400/Treasure%20Chest%20for%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique%207.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p></p><p>Then I decided to work on additional goodies to fill the treasure chest. I pulled out pearls (Tim Holtz's bubbles or baubles work great) and had them ready to put in the treasure chest. </p><p>I also envisioned gold doubloons and decided to create my own. I started with cut circles die cut from cardboard. I covered both sides with versamark ink. Then they were dipped into the mix of gold and black embossing powder. Heated up to melt all off the embossing powder. I repeated this multiple times to increase the depth of the embossing powder on the coins. You can either re-ink with versamark and dip back into the embossing powder or heat up the coin holding it with rubber handled tweezer and dip it back in again and melt it right away. Then to add an image to the gold coin you will ink up the stamp you want to use with versamark and then heat up your coin until the embossing powder is molten or soft and then place the stamp into the heated embossing powder. Press down and leave to cool off. Once it is cool you can pull the stamp out and have an impression on the embossed surface and your stamp will be clean. (I only do this with the rubber stamps) </p><p></p><p>There also had to be a treasure map! I cut a piece of scrap paper and spritzed it with the same mica stain sprays used on the outside of my chest. After it dried I added stamped script on the inside along with picking up some extra inky stains. Then it was wrinkled and rolled up and tied with some twine. </p><p>The remainder is a mix of shimmery buttons, old fake jewelry and a watch fob to add to my treasures! <br /></p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvF1wfoYXqjZ3grOT6B-OObTimrcEucqGFDJCmCrIIzhd3R2dYBCYMkBINJyGesx6CseB2S8NBb55EQNVtASzLpZj6JhF3-KJU3G2d5ZXC1nrv7MKXj8SWmuP6IG4ygmz2R5FH46_yNgKrcyx4jyyvu1Z4BV-AXuD0xPfyCI9CzsRTP-bFqEQ0vNP6nfX/s400/Treasure%20Chest%20for%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique%202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiwvF1wfoYXqjZ3grOT6B-OObTimrcEucqGFDJCmCrIIzhd3R2dYBCYMkBINJyGesx6CseB2S8NBb55EQNVtASzLpZj6JhF3-KJU3G2d5ZXC1nrv7MKXj8SWmuP6IG4ygmz2R5FH46_yNgKrcyx4jyyvu1Z4BV-AXuD0xPfyCI9CzsRTP-bFqEQ0vNP6nfX/w400-h400/Treasure%20Chest%20for%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique%202.JPG" width="400" /></a></p><p>To create the treasure chest: </p><ol style="text-align: left;"><li>I drew a template for my box along with the circle for the arch on the sides of my top. </li><li>I cut all the pieces based on my measurements and template. </li><li>I ran all the cardstock through the texture fade cracked. </li><li>I sprayed them all with two mica stain sprays (fallen acorn and unravelled)</li><li>I then assembled my box.

I love those little surprises and I always keep the glassine bags they come in.

I embossed the glassine bags using the new Tim Holtz Cracked texture fade folder to emboss the bags. Then I spritzed the bags with a mix of the Mica Stain Sprays #5 (Unravelled, Fallen Acorn) to add my fall colors.

The new theme at The Funkie Junkie Inspiration Avenue is all about paints. I love to watercolor and play around with watercolor pencils so I decided to switch it up and use white acrylic paint and showcase how pretty it is when used as a base for other mediums. </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsl0QUF8XN7Wv5e10TrGCloRH-9bn96C1iXauQcmYzyGjN_wsE1nUcl0EL1eywZfyX1QV7eH4HMpdqd0ztyIYILPu6SqceYOg4r142mhvrh1IdxtIbHWgdM3UET8K2WYOAwARtZhWwikOrQpFCDr4KJ8xH5Kj_OcygNmbe4Wjs_iYiZRCmxsrOmhEcQbGq/s1385/Stampers%20Anonymous%20Tim%20Holtz%20Crest%20Layering%20Stencil%20Ranger%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1383" data-original-width="1385" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsl0QUF8XN7Wv5e10TrGCloRH-9bn96C1iXauQcmYzyGjN_wsE1nUcl0EL1eywZfyX1QV7eH4HMpdqd0ztyIYILPu6SqceYOg4r142mhvrh1IdxtIbHWgdM3UET8K2WYOAwARtZhWwikOrQpFCDr4KJ8xH5Kj_OcygNmbe4Wjs_iYiZRCmxsrOmhEcQbGq/w400-h400/Stampers%20Anonymous%20Tim%20Holtz%20Crest%20Layering%20Stencil%20Ranger%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I am a big fan of the Crest layering stencil and I used it to create my various ideas and samples. <br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuZGcVGc9GfyFsi7IVtH_0n1c148FcF46MwBnO2lRQkSdoO4yK2-GXNTe6vESfSxpshPjlfkUt7xRlRlYvIpsit-Cn38Sl_GaCHeRMoVQ1dBcpLQT5n_1RbnneudqaRSdMkjf7mCryI2zFI6yX2f_XeUFThN_447_wmSYdG-cIGjPf-HDAGPmqmkwx-Prp/s1616/Stampers%20Anonymous%20Tim%20Holtz%20Crest%20Layering%20Stencil%20Ranger%20Distress%20Stain%20Sprays%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1615" data-original-width="1616" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuZGcVGc9GfyFsi7IVtH_0n1c148FcF46MwBnO2lRQkSdoO4yK2-GXNTe6vESfSxpshPjlfkUt7xRlRlYvIpsit-Cn38Sl_GaCHeRMoVQ1dBcpLQT5n_1RbnneudqaRSdMkjf7mCryI2zFI6yX2f_XeUFThN_447_wmSYdG-cIGjPf-HDAGPmqmkwx-Prp/w400-h400/Stampers%20Anonymous%20Tim%20Holtz%20Crest%20Layering%20Stencil%20Ranger%20Distress%20Stain%20Sprays%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique.JPG" width="400" /></a></div></div><p></p><p>The first background that was created used the Tim Holtz backdrop paper. The crest layering stencil was placed on the paper and white acrylic paint was sponged over the stencil to create a base coat. While it was still wet fine glitter was sprinkled across the wet paint to add a shimmer to the paint. </p><p>After that additional sprinkling of white paint was splattered across the surface. Then the entire paint was heated to dry and set the glitter. </p><p>Next a brown distress ink was sponged over the surface and water splatter was added to showcase water spots. Then some splattering from a distress stain spray was added to add darker water spots. </p><p>After that the background was cut to fit the card front and was accessorized with the beautiful flowers and added to a white card base. </p><p>Next a variety of backgrounds were created on white cardstock, black cardstock and mixed media paper. The stencil was laid onto the surfaces and white acrylic paint was sponged over the stencil to repeat the crest. </p><p>Each white acrylic painted image was treated differently to get a different effect. <br /></p><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLx9dR1fIXRL2YXMlc0S5TonXwAeJAyJyKTVkFXGwdr2GHu-bdpBUw_xeoCq4BzT2QFdjRBmKJU8Alj7-M_j6ZtT7lPzSN0OIrdOEmAfhPQTmnjoTUehwK9PjNZzeXfxV8f-jwZy8fbPnD7NbKv62b_eevib7n1IF5YL-lpQRP5ZjHvaBEKB-xCwe79-zW/s1311/Stampers%20Anonymous%20Tim%20Holtz%20Crest%20Layering%20Stencil%20Ranger%20Distress%20Crayon%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1310" data-original-width="1311" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhLx9dR1fIXRL2YXMlc0S5TonXwAeJAyJyKTVkFXGwdr2GHu-bdpBUw_xeoCq4BzT2QFdjRBmKJU8Alj7-M_j6ZtT7lPzSN0OIrdOEmAfhPQTmnjoTUehwK9PjNZzeXfxV8f-jwZy8fbPnD7NbKv62b_eevib7n1IF5YL-lpQRP5ZjHvaBEKB-xCwe79-zW/w400-h400/Stampers%20Anonymous%20Tim%20Holtz%20Crest%20Layering%20Stencil%20Ranger%20Distress%20Crayon%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique.JPG" width="400" /></a><br /></p><p>For the white on white image I experimented with the crayons and water color pencils. With the crayon it naturally rubs over the surface and applies a lovely layer of color. The bottom was rubbed off with paper towel and spritzed with water to soften the effect. This was done without the stencil in place. It reminded me of being back in school rubbing crayons over leaves under a sheet of construction paper. <br /></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIqKl-K9Kyewifo0x5DTjhEhI-S_QFdO9PgTInLXk5-Qx9ghgiKGYctObtetaZT9k16OH5iMTklv0U1x01YiLHB7qAWUTPepBImW0Z3YHWcOu0XmYg2_yTYW7jnLdA6zaSeqWeVh8aQRRvchjXyOryy2qrBoGmyz0RBV-RoQEmL7Qm4OyrxuDVFlqfsRct/s1451/Stampers%20Anonymous%20Tim%20Holtz%20Crest%20Layering%20Stencil%20Ranger%20Distress%20Watercolor%20Pencil%202%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1450" data-original-width="1451" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIqKl-K9Kyewifo0x5DTjhEhI-S_QFdO9PgTInLXk5-Qx9ghgiKGYctObtetaZT9k16OH5iMTklv0U1x01YiLHB7qAWUTPepBImW0Z3YHWcOu0XmYg2_yTYW7jnLdA6zaSeqWeVh8aQRRvchjXyOryy2qrBoGmyz0RBV-RoQEmL7Qm4OyrxuDVFlqfsRct/w400-h400/Stampers%20Anonymous%20Tim%20Holtz%20Crest%20Layering%20Stencil%20Ranger%20Distress%20Watercolor%20Pencil%202%20The%20Funkie%20Junkie%20Boutique.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>The watercolor pencils gave a beautiful soft effect over the white paint.

I love coloring and the new Stampers Anonymous Floral Trims gave me the chance to play around with coloring in the flowers. I know I have shared before the various ways to color stamps but I thought it would be fun to create a series of tags using the same stamp, layout and color scheme but vary the mediums. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmJTnbC9N6OBJFGeKut4u0M3isv7sjIpj3377835Zy-ki56kelwqur81J05h125BJ76vVJghTSQbN9BaHa1Owv6VFEneZQ03NJOBjrbI0r2oSfPoQP-MYj5WK4z0F9mg-Exl3to9N2XzdrKDFcbrxDu2tDIm6ZHHYMMXFVa8Qzzn33UltzIQecjDqxig/s400/P1014297.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmJTnbC9N6OBJFGeKut4u0M3isv7sjIpj3377835Zy-ki56kelwqur81J05h125BJ76vVJghTSQbN9BaHa1Owv6VFEneZQ03NJOBjrbI0r2oSfPoQP-MYj5WK4z0F9mg-Exl3to9N2XzdrKDFcbrxDu2tDIm6ZHHYMMXFVa8Qzzn33UltzIQecjDqxig/w400-h400/P1014297.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>I spent some time stamping the image on different paper types using the same archival ink.

I will wait until it dries and then come back in with more shading to get a deeper color in the shaded areas. </p><p>I had a new set of Ranger Distress Watercolor Pencils and I used them on my next stamped image.

There is a slight difference in the two images and it has to do with the cardstock.

I repeated until the background/tags were covered with the pattern. Next the ink was covered with white embossing powder. (I could have left it with clear embossing powder but the white embossing powder also raises the image and adds more texture). I heated up the embossing powder on all the pieces. I then sponged the gray distress oxide ink over the embossed surface. After I had finished sponging on the level of ink and depth of color, I buffed off the excess ink from the embossed surface. (I call that the magic as the white really pops after you buff off the excess ink). </p><p>Next the tags were mounted on white cardstock and all were layered over each other on the front of the card. The sentiment was stamped on vellum and cut to fit on the side. I accented with little gems. </p><p>For my next card I mixed up my colors and simplified the background. <br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LkIUIb_XeFi4W67GOPcerEg5INzoiMQJgPLbO_ayE5n20cyAAEsmGfixxO54O4JXEDF6XvJ0UC38W68SUKjejCfSVZCSfITENfN-XuqsvU8-sfIxqBNBIrpFR51n20dPM5qrv3_XcFTYnUn-0wcHHh8pmmLnYu3x4EuT8AZIhMsMj0EZSzTvOXmBSQ/s1404/stampers%20anonymous%20tim%20holtz%20mini%20layering%20stencil%2047%20for%20the%20funkie%20junkie%20boutique%2088.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1402" data-original-width="1404" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_LkIUIb_XeFi4W67GOPcerEg5INzoiMQJgPLbO_ayE5n20cyAAEsmGfixxO54O4JXEDF6XvJ0UC38W68SUKjejCfSVZCSfITENfN-XuqsvU8-sfIxqBNBIrpFR51n20dPM5qrv3_XcFTYnUn-0wcHHh8pmmLnYu3x4EuT8AZIhMsMj0EZSzTvOXmBSQ/w400-h400/stampers%20anonymous%20tim%20holtz%20mini%20layering%20stencil%2047%20for%20the%20funkie%20junkie%20boutique%2088.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><p>I started with using the picked raspberry distress oxide ink and the lost shadow ink to create a pattern on my tags.
