7 Dots Studio, Writers Block Collection - Scrap Matrix Design Team

Hi Everyone,

I am here with you all to share my second 7 Dots project for Scrap Matrix Design Team with you all. This project has again been created using the Writers Block collection, I love this collection, the dark colours are seriously my style (vintage and yummy!!). 

As you can see I created a tag, but when the tag was finished I thought, hmmm there is still some paper left here and a few bits and pieces so I just kept going. Then a canvas was born and the tag moved on in to a new home. 

Now lets take a look how this was made. 

1 ) Manilla tag

2) I covered that tag with the paper, using double sided tape to adhere it. 

3) Layering various tags from the Writers Block Collection  edges inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. 

4) Layering more tags from the Writers Block Collection edges inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Vintage Photo. 

Have you used the AMAZING German Scrap before? Look what can happen with just a gentle touch of Art Alchemy Metalliqe Wax. You can transform the black wings instantly to glossy gold picking up all those fine details. These wings were then used as the back drop behind the inked butterfly wings.

To create my flower with bronze bead embellishment I first tore the inner part of the flower out completely. Gluing in a bronze flower, then micro beads, followed by a metal hand. 

The layer below the tag you will see may look like a square but it is actually a split sheet to conserve my paper. Also I have used offcuts from my previous project which have been sewn on with my sewing machine. These papers have all been edged with Art Alchemy Metallique Wax in Aged Brass. 

Glossy accents was used to adhere micro copper micro beads around my paper edges. 

To finish my project I mounted the tag on foam mounts and adhered brass corners to the canvas. 

Many thanks for looking at the blog today, I wish you all a very happy and creative day.

Tim Holtz Exploding Box - Flying Unicorn

Hello Everyone,

I am here with you today to share a Tim Holtz inspired exploding box. Ahhh yes it is certainly no secret that I am a HUGE fan of Tim Holtz and all (yes ALL) his products. I find Tim's work so inspirational, always pushes me to think outside the box.

Was a stack of fun creating this little exploding box, a little fiddly but well worth the effort put in. I have covered both the inside and outside of the box with the Idea-Ology Menagerie Paper Stash Paper. I love this paper, it is very versatile.

Distress Paint Cork Necklace - Flying Unicorn

Hi Everyone,

Today I would like to share with you a little upcycled creation. Where is the upcycled part you may ask? well the little discs are on old sliced up champagne cork. Cork is remarkably an easy product to work with, it was super easy to cut, distress paint went on like a dream, Tim Holtz rub ons took to the cork like a moth to the flame (no joke, much easier than paper). It was a stack of fun thinking outside the box on this project.

Tim Holtz Image Transfer Tags - Flying Unicorn

Hi Everyone,

Today I  have a couple of tags to share with you . I thought I would 'attempt' an image transfer with the new Tim Holtz Found Relatives. Recently I had seen the blog of the talented Shelly Hickox. Shelly had a step by step tutorial on how to do an image transfer with the found relatives. Looked amazing, so I thought I would give it a shot myself. 

Now it kind of worked, it is a little rough looking and the tags are a little shredded. But I am kind of ok with that, I think it adds to the whole look. What do you think?. Lesson learnt though rub too hard and you will start shredding your tag along with your image. Rather than use baby wipes to remove the image glue I used 100% eucalyptus oil, this worked really well (but stay within the confines of the image, unlike I did).

Thanks for looking, I wish you all a happy and creative day.
