Felonious Friday with Outlaw Gal - Vintage Canvas

Hey everyone sorry no post last Friday.. My legs have caught the Sciatica.. in other words I have Sciatica and I am miserable with pain.. Today is a little better so I thought I'd share this Canvas with you all.

To get this look I first took some tissue paper and stamped the music all over it randomly

Then I crumpled it up real tight in a ball

and then put Gesso all over my Canvas and adhered it.

Don't worry if it tears it only adds to the flavor of the piece..

Once it dried I used Tim Holtz Distress Inks all over

The Direct To Paper Technique

I dried it with my Heat Gun

Then I went to town adding all my

Emphemia ( okay how do you spell that?) LOL

I used all different Products

I used the Tim Holtz Die

Sewing Room

I put Tissue Paper as a skirt and added some ribbon as a belt

and put the Bling over it and made it a necklace

I also had had this rolled rose I have made with

Polymer Clay

I baked my Clay in my Melting Pot..

no need to use the oven.. Easy Peasey!!

I painted my rose with a Paint Dabber

Misted my flowers with Glimmer Mist

I was going to go into detail with a product list but

the Sciatica is acting up when I sit too long.

You can buy all the products I used

at Outlaw Women Scrapbook Emporium

Felonious Friday with Outlaw Gal - Vintage Vintage Vintage

Hey everyone another Friday and I have a little tutorial for you all on how to get that Vintage Look to your work. I have created a 3x5 using Corrugated Cardboard. I love love how Corrugated Cardboard looks after it's been altered.

First Cut out your Cardboard to the size you want it to be. In this case I cut it at 3x5. Then tear out the insides so that the cardboard looks likes stripes going down. Or that it has been embossed.

After I got it the way I wanted it to look I then painted it with Distress Stains.

You can use Acrylic Paint if you want. Just give it an all over coat.

I then took this wonderful Product called

Rub n Buff

and using very little on my fingers I

put it on the lines going down and a little bit in the crevices.

this gives it that aged look.

Warning! just put a tiny amount on your finger. It goes far..

The Rub n Buff color I used was Gold Leaf.

As I do with most projects I do I went around the edge with

my Distress Ink "Walnut Stain"

I always do this because it makes the piece look aged..

Browning the edges give an old used look..

Maybe I should brown my edges .. I'm old and used!! ROFL!!

I printed off my Image at this point..

I buy a lot of my Digital Images from

Lisa's Altered Art.

Her prices are reasonable for digital Collage sheets.

I buy Digital because I can re-size the image to what ever I need.

I also can cut out one image from the sheet instead of printing the whole

thing out.

The program I use for this is Paint Shop Pro.

Years ago I taught how to use this program

when I did my Signature Tags..

oh here I go off the subject again.. LOL

Back to my piece.

I like to color my flowers to fit my pieces..

I also wanted a shimmering look so I used Perfect Pearls to color with.

I used white flowers from Petaloo

They have a line called

Color me Crazy

A little tip about using the perfect pearls to color with..

I spray some water onto my Craft Mat with a Mini Mister

then I dab a small paintbrush in the Perfect Pearls and add it to the water on my mat.

I'm working directly from my Crafts Mat. Mixing the Perfect Pearls into the water

and applying it to my flowers..

The Petaloo Flowers seem very limp when wet but they dry nice and hard so you

can add them to your piece and they won't tear or rip..

I glued my image down using a

Uhu Glue Stick

I have tried a lot of different glue sticks and have found Uhu to be

the best for this type of work..

It is fast to dry but will let you move the piece around while your placing it..

I don't like a glue that dries too fast. I am always needing to figure out where

I want to place my image and need the time..

Uhu Glue comes out blue but dries clear..

Trust me on this I have tried many glues.

You should see my shelf full of different glues... LOL

On my computer once again in the program

Paint Shop Pro I created the saying I wanted to use

and printed it off.

Cut it into pieces and yup I browned the edges of the little pieces

with Walnut Stain. I go over the whole word very lightly with the

Walnut Stain to give it an old look and it's not so white and glaring.

I wanted my words to pop out so I used

Foam Strips to adhere them.

I put my flowers together and added the small brad..

I did color my brad with Alchohol ink but it didn't take.

I then grabbed a Copic Marker.

My suggestion for this is to use the Copic Markers to color your metal brads.

The Markers do a wonderful job and I should have used them first..

Almost done at this point I wanted more more more.

I never know when to quit!! LOL

so I added the Vintage Lace to the bottom.

Adhering it with Glossy Accents.

I used to use my Hot Glue gun to adhere the lace on the bottom..

Then I went to the Glossy Accents once again to have the time

to place it where I wanted to.

I really think the Corrugated Cardboard gives it such a wonderful

Vintage Feel and it's a free substrate!! LOL

So that's it a nice and easy project that looks fabulous when finished..

Technique Tuesday ~ Tag Booklet

Welcome to Technique Tuesday!

Tag Booklet

By Judy Cantrell

This project started after receiving supplies

Wrapped with Kraft paper

from

http://ididitcreations.com/club/

I love to make handmade books.

The cover, spine and pages can be adapted

to make any size book.

Making up these instructions are my own.

My daughter owns and operates an antique shop in Southern Kansas.
When she has too much of one item she brings them
to me to use in my artwork.
This is how I came about using game boards for the base of
my books and Kraft paper for the covers.

Here is my Tutorial with step-by-step instructions:

Supplies:

Distress ink (vintage photo)

Kraft paper

Rubber stamps

Archival ink (black)

Glossy Card stock

Zutter Bind-it-All

5/8” Owires

3M Spray Mount Artist’s Adhesive

White card stock or 14pt file folders

White 2 “masking tape

Paper trimmer

12” Tim Holtz ruler

Studio Multi-Medium 

 (adhesive)

Martha Stewart score board

Cutting Rotary Mat

Craft mat knife

Game board or heavy duty cardboard

This booklet was made for my #8 finished tags; 3 1/8” x 6 ¼.” 

Instructions:

1. Cut scrabble game board into two pieces down the center fold with a craft knife. Set one aside for another booklet. Each piece is now seven inches by fourteen inches long. Place one piece down on rotary mat. Use mat cutter with metal edge of ruler to cut front and back book pieces. I cut one piece from left finished seam and one piece from the right finished seam, and then the seam binding and spacers from remainer of game board. 

These measurements are:

2 pieces 4” x 7”

1 piece 1 & 1/4” x 7”

2 pieces of game board as spacer

Set aside for now

Note: For safety, please use a new blade when cutting the game board or thick book board.  

2. Cut a 10” x 14” piece of Kraft paper; crumble the paper with your hands (try not to tear the paper as you crumble,) smooth out, crumble several times and then smooth out. Spray one side of Kraft paper with adhesive outdoors or in well ventilated area.  Leave outside for a little while, bring in and place down on craft table adhesive side up.

3. Place the pieces of game board down over the adhesive. Allow an even space between the front, back and spine using the spacer pieces. (As seen in photo)

4. Use scissors to cut all four outside corners on a diagonal.

5. Crease and fold all edges inward.

6. Measure and cut one piece of masking tape 2 inches by 7 inches, cover the inside of spine. Cut another piece of white masking tape 2 inches by 9 inches long, add to outside of spine and continue to inside of spine. Press down until smooth.

7. Cut two pieces of Kraft paper and glue on inside to cover up scrabble game board.

8. Use Vintage Photo distress ink direct to color the book cover and on the inside. Or finish as desired.

9. Use paper trimmer to cut two pieces of card stock 4 3/8” x 6 3/4.” This will be the inside front and back face cover.

10. Use Bind-it-All tool to punch 12 holes in these two pieces as directed on instructions.  

11. Next, use score board to crease a valley folds ¾” on front and back pieces. 

12. Cut 12-15 pages of card stock 3½” x 6 ¾”

13. Use the instructions from the Bind-it-All to punch hole into each page

14. Make a stack with one page (mountain fold) 4 3/8” x 6 ¾”, 15 cardstock pages 3 ½” x 6 ¾” and then one page (mountain fold) 4 3/8” x 6 ¾” together.

15. Use tool to cut 5/8” Owires 6 inches long. (12 wires)

16. With the stacked pieces of cardstock place them in the Bind-It-All and then bind together.  When you have the owires and paper together they will look like the photo below with valley fold of front and back pieces and pages in the middle.

Note: The ends of wires will not be seen they will be under the card stock next to spine.

17. Insert the pages in center of center spine.  Close the booklet and check that the Owires are at the center of booklet. Open carefully and glue one side at a time, and center the booklet with even spaces on both sides with valley folds at folds of spine. 

Note: Glue the inside front and back pieces with the valley folds in center of booklet, I used a credit card with Studio Multi- Medium as an adhesive. Smooth with Speelball 4" Baren until it is smooth and applied to book. (Rubbing with your hand will do as well to get a smooth finish)

18. Finally step: Embellish your booklet!!

Have fun making your booklet!!
