POCKET WATCH & SPROCKETS LAYOUT

Today I am sharing with you a vintage layout I created featuring Want2Scrap® Shifting Gears Small Chipboard Embellishments and DecoArt® Metallic Lustre paint. I started my 12 x 12 Layout using Heartfelt Creations Balmy Breeze Paper Collection.

I painted the gears using a sponge brush with DecoArt® Metallic Lustre Champagne Ice, DecoArt® Metallic Lustre Iced Espresso, DecoArt® Metallic Lustre Copper Kettle, DecoArt® Metallic Lustre Gold Rush, and DecoArt® Dazzling Metallics Peacock Pearl. I then added to the sprockets Want2Scrap® Nestabling Sprightly Sprockets and some 72 Count Self Adhesive Rhinestones in Silver/Clear, Turquoise, and Black.

At the top of the page I used Want2Scrap® Swirls - Silver Rhinestones and added some 72 Count - Turquoise Rhinestones - Self Adhesive. I painted the Memories - Fancy Chipboard Word with DecoArt® Dazzling Metallics Peacock Pearl and DecoArt® Glamour Dust® Aqua for some extra sparkle.

To create the distressed edge on the page I used Tim Holtz's Paper Distressor Tool and Tim Holtz Distress Ink in Peacock Feathers. I also sprayed it with Ranger Perfect Pearls Mists in Perfect Pearl before adhering it to a cream colored piece of the Heartfelt Creations Balmy Breeze Paper. I then added the Want2Scrap® Swirls Finesse - Silver Rhinestones and added some 72 Count - Turquoise Rhinestones - Self Adhesive to the upper right corner. I assembled the pocket watch using Tim Holtz Idea-ology pieces and added some Stampenndous Gilded Mica Framents before closing the timepiece. With Art Glitter Adhesive - Dries Clear glue I added some Tim Holtz Mini Gears to the clock face and finished by adding some Baby Bling Rhinestones in Silver. I adhered the pocket watch and chain to the page with Helmar Premium Craft Glue. Finally I added some more Want2Scrap® Rhinestones in Silver and Turquoise on the bottom of the page.

I matted my picture on metallic paper that had been die cut using Spellbinders Decorative Labels Eight. Most vintage pictures I buy at my local antique mall, but today I used a special picture. This man happens to be my great Uncle Cleo and I put this layout in a shadow box and gave it to my Mom for her Birthday!

I hope you enjoyed my vintage layout showing some more great ways to use DecoArt® & Want2Scrap® products together!

BELATED BIRTHDAY CARD WITH CANDI

Today I am sharing a Belated Birthday Card that I created that uses Craftwork Cards Candi in Trick or Treat. I created the 5 1/2" card base out of Bazzill cardstock and Echo Park Paper in This & That Dots & Plaid.

I stamped this cute image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Cryogen White Paper using Taylored Expressions Ducks in a Row stamp set and I colored it with Copics (YR18, YR21, YR23, YR24). I added some Ranger Stickles in StarDust to the ducks wings for a little sparkle. I matted it on gold Bazzill cardstock and adhered it to the card base with pop dots.

I added some green May Arts twine around the top of the card and finished it with a brown button from my stash. As a final touch I added Craftwork Cards Candi - Trick or Treat to the image with Candi Fix.

In the United States Craftwork Cards Candi is available at The Scrapbooking Queen's Royal Castle Shoppe and Scrapbook.com. Have a great day!

DECORATED CLOCK WITH WANT2SCRAP AND DECOART

I am excited to share with you an altered clock I created featuring Want2Scrap and DecoArt products. I started by applying DecoArts® Acrylic Gesso to the entire Tim Holtz Assemblage Clock before I applied the DecoArts® Metallic Lustre with a sponge brush.

The bird and tree limb that I added inside the clock are from Want2Scrap® Designer Embellies - Mixed Media Elements. I painted them with DecoArt® Dazzling Metallics Peacock Pearl, DecoArt® Dazzling Metallics Renaissance Brown, DecoArt® Metallic Lustre Copper Kettle, DecoArt® Gold Rush, and DecoArt® Glamour Dust® Gold Glitz. I used the fine tip on the DecoArt® Paper Effects Black Pearl paint to make the eye on the bird.

I covered the back panel of the clock with Heartfelt Creations Sun Kissed Paper and added a Want2Scrap® Swirls - Silver Rhinestone. I also created flowers and leaves using Heartfelt Creations stamps and dies and then finished the flowers by adding Want2Scrap® 72 Count - LeCreme Pearls - Self Adhesive and 72 Count - Coral Pearls - Self Adhesive to the flower centers.

I placed a little Prima Flowers - Cradle Robin bird's nest in the bottom of the clock display and adhered it with Helmar's Premium Craft Glue. For some extra sparkle I added some Stampendous Shaved Ice.

Next I painted the Want2Scrap® Shifting Gears Small Chipboard Embellishment with DecoArts® Metallic Lustre paint and added Want2Scrap® 72 Count - Turquoise Rhinestones - Self Adhesive, 72 Count - Orange Rhinestones - Self Adhesive, and 72 Count - Silver/Clear Rhinestones - Self Adhesive to the clock front. I also added Want2Scrap® Feathers by Angela Pruitt and painted them with DecoArt® Dazzling Metallics paint. I then added some Art Glitter Transparent Glitter with Art Glitter Dries Clear Adhesive.

Finally, to finish the clock I used the banner piece from Designer Embellies - Mixed Media Elements and adhered the words "God Bless Our Home" from Heartfelt Creations All Seasons Sentiments PreCut Set stamp that had been sprayed with Crafter's Companion Iridescent Spray & Sparkle Spray.

Candy Slabaugh creates an altered clock featuring #Want2Scrap, #DecoArts, #HeartfeltCreations, #ArtGlitter, #TimHoltz, #AssemblageClock

I really liked working with the ArtDeco® products. They coordinate beautifully with the Want2Scrap® products and are very easy to work with and use. Have a great day!

I added Craftwork Cards Polka Dots - Raspberry Truffle Candi to the wheels on the ice cream truck and Robin's Nest Tear Drops in Lovebirds to the edges of the Spellbinders Label Four.

To finish the card I added Craftwork Cards Candi in Polka Dots - Raspberry Truffle and Polka Dots - Citrus Burst with Candi Fix to the bottom right corner of the card.
