Clearly for Art…

Nov 5, 2010

My oh my, oh my is Wendy Vecchi’s “Clearly for Art” super cool to work with… seri­ously you will LOVE play­ing with this mod­el­ing film. It is lit­er­ally fool proof you CAN NOT mess this stuff up… promise!

Sup­plies Needed: Tim Holtz Alter­ations Tat­tered Flo­rals Bigz Die, Alco­hol Inks Cran­berry, Gin­ger, Terra Cotta, Ranger Felt Appli­ca­tor Tool, Stu­dio 490 Be Inspired… Make Art Stamp Set, Archival Ink Jet Black, Ranger — Non Stick Craft Sheet, Heat Gun, 7 Vin­tage But­tons, Embroi­dery Floss

Instruc­tions:

• Using the Tat­tered Flo­rals Die cut two of the daisy look­ing flow­ers. Punch a small hole in the cen­ter of each flower. Place these on a Non Stick Craft Sheet. Apply Cran­berry, Gin­ger and Terra Cotta Alco­hol Inks onto a Felt cov­ered Blend­ing Tool. Apply Alco­hol Inks onto the two flowers.
• Using the Plaid stamp from the “Be Inspired… Make Art” stamp set apply Jet Black Archival Ink onto it and stamp the two flowers.
• Using a heat gun, heat one flower until you can mold it… it does not take long. Shape the flower petals into the shape you want. Once it cools it will harden and remain that shape. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE THAT SHAPE… just reheat it and it will go flat. I swear this stuff is so dang cool. Now start the process all over again until you get the flower in the shape you like. See I told you, you can­not mess this up. Do the same thing on the sec­ond flower.
• Thread 6 vin­tage but­tons together, stack the flow­ers on top of each other and thread the embroi­dery floss through the hole. Now thread 1 but­ton onto the back and tightly tie a knot to secure the but­tons in place.

It is that sim­ple. Now you have a unique embell­ish­ment to use on any of your projects. Ok I am back into the scrap room to cre­ate more book projects and work on my next online work­shop. I will be teach­ing you how to recre­ate the 10 hol­i­day projects fea­tured in my book. This work­shop will include 2 cards, 1 mini album, 1 ban­ner, 1 gift tag, 1 orna­ment and 4 lay­outs. Hope to see you there.
