Verdigris Embossing Die Cuts Tutorial


I'm sharing a very fun embossing technique on the Tutti Designs blog today.  This amazing new die, Elegant Love Bird, is an absolute must have!  I cannot wait to work with it more.  As much as I love doing Valentines, I wanted to show you how versatile this die is by creating a grungy mixed media project.  Thanks so much for your visit today!

Tim Holtz Mixed Media Framed Valentine Canvas



It's time for a new challenge at Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!  This week our theme is Spread Your Wings.  I've created a mixed media framed Valentine canvas home decor project.  



I was determined to make the most of my purchase of the Mixed Media Christmas Thinlet set I purchased after Christmas and decided to use the harlequin die for a Valentine assemblage.  I cut it twice in opposite corners of a watercolor panel and dipped it into a Fired Brick Distress Ink bath.


I was thrilled to be given the opportunity to do some designs for Tim Holtz for Creativation 2017 and was given the new Mini Detailed Butterfly die set to work with.  Here I used one of the solid butterflies.  I inked it with Fired Brick, then wiped on Versamark ink and embossed with Distress Embossing Powder in Walnut Stain for a rusty effect.  I added one of the new Idea-ology keys to the center.


I used Tim's label die set to cut paper from the Correspondence paper stash for my base and edged it with Vintage Photo.


I layered the XO die with an arrow and some bundled string.  The heart was inked and coated with clear crackle paste.  I adhered my stitched panel to a burlap panel and inserted it into a thrifted frame with.  The Scrabble letters are from my collection. I hope you are inspired to spread your wings today and join this week's challenge for a chance to win a $50 shopping spree!  Thanks so much for your visits and comments.

Mixed Media Butterfly Vignette


We are sharing our favorite IndigoBlu stamps in our projects this month on the IndigoBlu blog.  By far, Flutterby is my favorite!  I altered a wooden vignette box, using a variety of IndigoBlu paints.  I embossed Vintage Flourish in copper along the perimeter of the box.  I adhered my stamped butterfly over a bed of shredded book page for texture.  I painted the wooden cutout with Miss Moneypennny Copper paint.  This small project will be a perfect inspirational display for my office.  Thanks for visiting today!

Winter Wood and Deer Mixed Media Card


With wintry days visiting us, I decided to cozy up in my studio and create a woodland scene featuring the fantastic Arched Fir Branch die.  I'm sharing all of the details on the Tutti Design blog today, so do hop over for a closer look.  I absolutely love this scripture stamp by Verve, but I had to cut off the reference (Psalm 150:6) to fit it into my Nesting Stitched Circle die.  The deer is by Penny Black.  I won a little shopping spree from one of their recent Facebook giveaways and just had to have him!  Thanks for your visit today!  Hugs, Autumn
