Felonious Friday with Outlaw Gal - Painting with Distress Inks



Friday once again and this week I've been playing with Painting with Distress inks.. This is so fun and so very easy.. First with this card I took some book paper and adhered it to some cardstock to give it more substance. Book Paper is very flimsy when you use it alone. Distressed the edges with my Distressing tool.. For my Birthday I'm getting that electric Distressing Tool. I'll let everyone know how I like it..


I Stamped over it using my Background Stamp with Versamark Ink and then poured white embossing powder and heat set.. I then stamped my flower on cardstock and did the same thing with the Versamark.. Heat set the white embossing powder.. Then I used a small paintbrush and some distress inks and colored the flower .. well actually no I didn't.. duh and duh again .. I used a Nigi brush.. easy peasy.. Once it was dried I adhered it to my card and then added the twine.. Voila a Card that looks good and was so easy to do...

We carry all these products at OWSE . Just click on the product and you will get to it in the Emporium..

Have a wonderful weekend.. I will I'm going to Little Nashville to check out this Scrap Store.. It's my Birthday Present from Me to Me. LOL Stamps come here you little rubber thingy's.. I want stamps more stamps and more stamps!! ROFL

Sunday Papers with Jeanette...Halloween in 10 Minutes or Less

I have a couple of simple things to make for Halloween.  
My children are grown so Halloween is not such a big deal
at my house anymore.  Children sure make a difference in how Holidays
are celebrated.   If you are like me, these easy peasy ideas may be of help you.

Here are the supplies that I used
(links to supplies listed below)



First I made a simple tag using a die cut from the paper collection
and a stamp from these fun Halloween Stamps.  Did some
direct to paper smudging with black ink tied on a ribbon and in
less that 10 minutes....done.  Quick and easy.
I love this stamp set.  



My next project is a quick and easy card.  


What I used here is a vinyl stick-on for a window.  I used a sheet of
paper from the collection.  It doesn't show that well here but
the colors are purple, beige, gray with silver metallic stripes.
The sentiment is another stamp from the collection that has
been stamped with black ink on silver metallic card stock.
I blotted it a bit to dry it quickly and make it a little more distressed
and maybe make it a bit more spooky.   
Another project completed in less than 10 minutes.

I really love the collection of papers.  They are grown up Halloween patterns
that can be used all year long.  Some even have steampunk potential.  
The name is 13th Hour, 6 1/2" paper pad by Kaisercraft.  
Here is just a sample of the great patterns.
Perfect for someone like me that prefers not to buy 
a lot of Holiday specific papers.

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

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


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..
