I actually created it over the course of a week, working on it between other projects. I actually like creating that way because I love having time to think about a project between layers. Okay, so let me stop rambling so we can get onto the project itself.</div><div><i>*Please excuse the changes in color from photo to photo...whenever you photograph anything with metallic, it throws off the color balance!</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOVqUH4n_oUUBtqugrwfUyguzwrC3NVvG1i2_06GOdXGXagupcnqjPikizQR6QneNMavPQGYi0GPr7DZM0ejgL-ZFnMQ1N8rYOFXr7g17rVMmAsi0W8bvd516q52B2DIg5dvb4Y1z6aFulCTc4SdjHMqV72aQKGkl3scQaic-sky23wjuIDzIZOH4kLH8/s2667/IMG_6456.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOVqUH4n_oUUBtqugrwfUyguzwrC3NVvG1i2_06GOdXGXagupcnqjPikizQR6QneNMavPQGYi0GPr7DZM0ejgL-ZFnMQ1N8rYOFXr7g17rVMmAsi0W8bvd516q52B2DIg5dvb4Y1z6aFulCTc4SdjHMqV72aQKGkl3scQaic-sky23wjuIDzIZOH4kLH8/w480-h640/IMG_6456.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div><div><div>This is a Mini Etcetera Tag (about 8" tall) that I have covered with paper from Backdrops Vol 5. </div><div><i>*I also added a layer of Collage Medium over the surface</i>.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYoLn9epkLFtHCG0nAbae6VdeQpAlxJj6Six2hv4_h9kjjEUpTRyvJbMqfdFyzSy9qLQQ1RxKEqGXBIh5eATuFoS4hlb3aGu28BfbepQEGIrd8AT8KCC5f-xRMp0kbgbkJrXDeYM0i2yMnBXU2il-W8Y044Ix4hX4U2_lJ750VPzfUkMk91vPDz2XyxBU/s2667/IMG_6145.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYoLn9epkLFtHCG0nAbae6VdeQpAlxJj6Six2hv4_h9kjjEUpTRyvJbMqfdFyzSy9qLQQ1RxKEqGXBIh5eATuFoS4hlb3aGu28BfbepQEGIrd8AT8KCC5f-xRMp0kbgbkJrXDeYM0i2yMnBXU2il-W8Y044Ix4hX4U2_lJ750VPzfUkMk91vPDz2XyxBU/w480-h640/IMG_6145.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>I added Texture Paste Opaque through the Thatched stencil and set that aside to dry for about 30 minutes.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAzrA_P_wT1vusgpd_GhTdrvqRwK7_s2QD_n_e9-f3d9gwmXO8Ql0xDaSRBIp0ExdgA8-5JmwWCh3M5A7GdkxDWXP_CZ49MnAUTAyAM7oE1NIlzF7_6-rc_1Y3OaEj_fY8Amv5qh_wI5AGt4gDyCRyp5EB964u9-cu2jHM_t6SsPGLkivVz5j28nDnPEw/s2667/IMG_6171.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAzrA_P_wT1vusgpd_GhTdrvqRwK7_s2QD_n_e9-f3d9gwmXO8Ql0xDaSRBIp0ExdgA8-5JmwWCh3M5A7GdkxDWXP_CZ49MnAUTAyAM7oE1NIlzF7_6-rc_1Y3OaEj_fY8Amv5qh_wI5AGt4gDyCRyp5EB964u9-cu2jHM_t6SsPGLkivVz5j28nDnPEw/w480-h640/IMG_6171.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>Once dry, I used my fingertip to add Foundry Wax Statue over the raised surface of the Texture Paste.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfUAoOcVsEUwquEQm-yJcRvciqbUK4Z2e40RXXhgVDSSkq3gB7LM0X8QrOLEA0TFXgL-N4Qdf5j1dSMpNwdjIzKpxns3sdm4t72n4s3p2QGJY3F_tjjyCrkClVXzjz-3PNb0rJO9Ew8yrN3SqOXtn_YiLT1YTy6LElQJAnHOHEfam9JM_h3KxIFCu4SQY/s2667/IMG_6174.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfUAoOcVsEUwquEQm-yJcRvciqbUK4Z2e40RXXhgVDSSkq3gB7LM0X8QrOLEA0TFXgL-N4Qdf5j1dSMpNwdjIzKpxns3sdm4t72n4s3p2QGJY3F_tjjyCrkClVXzjz-3PNb0rJO9Ew8yrN3SqOXtn_YiLT1YTy6LElQJAnHOHEfam9JM_h3KxIFCu4SQY/w480-h640/IMG_6174.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>Once heated with an embossing gun, the Foundry Wax turns metallic. You can add Foundry Wax as many times as you wish. The first time I didn't think I added enough, so I just added more and embossed it again. Just remember, Foundry Wax changes to a metallic finish very quickly, so watch carefully as you move across the surface with the embossing tool.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRa_r9SH85MagL8QY6WxH1_UaLNVgyand3VvWWBFCHETyRsSrxY-jhq9UKLI1lLr2ng2E5I7UHWAhJg1M3f1qH43Zs6GVkdxBnj3BR11NlU6SULVg40sJJQhlyqsDFJE69v7_mZx48QvUUWXBfQ-un8MSFaWzsqjc1me70S73-4Se9JNEbeNkRIIp5jl4/s2667/IMG_6176.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRa_r9SH85MagL8QY6WxH1_UaLNVgyand3VvWWBFCHETyRsSrxY-jhq9UKLI1lLr2ng2E5I7UHWAhJg1M3f1qH43Zs6GVkdxBnj3BR11NlU6SULVg40sJJQhlyqsDFJE69v7_mZx48QvUUWXBfQ-un8MSFaWzsqjc1me70S73-4Se9JNEbeNkRIIp5jl4/w480-h640/IMG_6176.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>Next, I built a layered focal point using a Stencil Card with some inked paper underneath. The Stencil Card was added to the tag with foam squares, then a transparent layer was added to the top.

I started her a couple of times trying to get the color right against the butterfly background. In person, she has more color compared to the photo.

Admittedly, this covered up the orange in the stencil card that I loved (guess I could have added more orange on the right but I didn't). The Paper Doll was added with foam squares.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrDS7XzR6ipl_mnYE9vEx_P-F0SV0ya-vKd0uwCtNpx2H0wZG7cXiTIMrZ8s2x3vs7jej12QyphNUXQxXQcJSJjS6rahzD0ik8GRI9UvByoImdVpwBW6A4U61hecJyUb7VwzuoXnm8jNnGaTKSjrji74QWtVUzAj0L6b-FG4r52zK0ATRtaR6_RzJjCAQ/s2667/IMG_6417.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrDS7XzR6ipl_mnYE9vEx_P-F0SV0ya-vKd0uwCtNpx2H0wZG7cXiTIMrZ8s2x3vs7jej12QyphNUXQxXQcJSJjS6rahzD0ik8GRI9UvByoImdVpwBW6A4U61hecJyUb7VwzuoXnm8jNnGaTKSjrji74QWtVUzAj0L6b-FG4r52zK0ATRtaR6_RzJjCAQ/w480-h640/IMG_6417.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>I also added a few more things. A bit of lace in her hair and some roses from the Field Notes Ephemera pack.

I wiped Collage Medium over the ephemera and dried it. Then I colored the image with Distress Crayons (<i>scribbled onto the glass mat, then picked up with a damp water brush</i>). I stitched across the top, then added it to the tag with 2 foam squares.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGTY8c8dBHwbHN9-yxLl_Kn_7B7plyEJv8JNcydIvVS74HRRW0SHXnvHPVFv1ZJRlBMTV7IaWN9NtNmPlcEC83v_fbfN9oaA9weQK-Rsi3UhcT77d062V60qbXISLe0KDvMZDyw_e3CsUZg1D2KTv_0G7t5Wb2BQNpB7usAcmOcrTcQdd9YSlbXfy3vw/s2667/IMG_6424.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsGTY8c8dBHwbHN9-yxLl_Kn_7B7plyEJv8JNcydIvVS74HRRW0SHXnvHPVFv1ZJRlBMTV7IaWN9NtNmPlcEC83v_fbfN9oaA9weQK-Rsi3UhcT77d062V60qbXISLe0KDvMZDyw_e3CsUZg1D2KTv_0G7t5Wb2BQNpB7usAcmOcrTcQdd9YSlbXfy3vw/w480-h640/IMG_6424.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>I also tested out adding some lace to the top under the Vintage Clip.

Interfacing also helps when you go to glue it to the surface, the glue does not seep through the cotton fabric. Heat n' Bond is a brand I like, you can find it in a package at Hobby Lobby and Walmart if you are interested.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_r7fLzuXhT73iikNAJKLc-lv65Go-XfdpTUo11tda0hJ_VizTXLP7X12a4XFiO8weLD0yRoqVRpwEpjjFmDkTRs8ADsJpJG7R6544p1uSft1Q0I3uxuLsKVvJIQYPu8NMAg9ylvX-u-SKSYYs1lssMgfQuhNLpbegiI95EJkqfzSf3QitO3OmAUgnGmQ/s2667/IMG_6105.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_r7fLzuXhT73iikNAJKLc-lv65Go-XfdpTUo11tda0hJ_VizTXLP7X12a4XFiO8weLD0yRoqVRpwEpjjFmDkTRs8ADsJpJG7R6544p1uSft1Q0I3uxuLsKVvJIQYPu8NMAg9ylvX-u-SKSYYs1lssMgfQuhNLpbegiI95EJkqfzSf3QitO3OmAUgnGmQ/w480-h640/IMG_6105.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Decide on what scale you want to use.

If I am going to stitch (like I did on the roof) I sew the piece BEFORE I cut the shape. If any of the threads lift on the edges, I just dot them with Collage Medium.</div><div>The letters were cut from cardstock using Sizzix Bold Text 2.

Also included is some basic information about each project and if a pattern was used. I will be showcasing each project in the coming days, so you can see it up close and have more information on how it was made. Of course the best way to "see" each project is to watch the LIVE on YouTube with Tim.

I didn't want to make a completely brown journal cover so I started with what you might guess was a peach color <i>(but you would be wrong)</i>...I started with Kitsch Flamingo, spraying then wiping away the spray pattern. I dried it, then added added Antique Linen. Back and forth I went, until the cover was covered. NOTE: <i>Because the Accordion Folio is made with Mixed Media paper, it has a bit of yellow in it, so the pink turns a bit peach. </i><div>Once the cover was dry, I used a stamp set that was intended for Halloween called, The Obscure. I loved the sorta of weedy plant that is part of that set. I used the Scorched Timber Oxide pad to ink the stamp, then lightly spritzed the stamp with water before stamping the cover. I repeated the stamping process until the cover was covered with the image.<div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzH6g6Ky9osVTE_Z0dhnBrEa8IivV1cQc5JUif7L2IaC1rQogmz9qiOuo8O3HmzfFspl1XfiNZxAjTsuFa3z_YtREXVsi0xAiafBmR5vihraX_9QYQ6zabnRJWZjY3winVh-cKaVAJMiDnSBN5UaOhkX304VC6GrKAkOQg3Z9T0qT_hNxF0x8v95VCmJU/s2667/IMG_5634.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgzH6g6Ky9osVTE_Z0dhnBrEa8IivV1cQc5JUif7L2IaC1rQogmz9qiOuo8O3HmzfFspl1XfiNZxAjTsuFa3z_YtREXVsi0xAiafBmR5vihraX_9QYQ6zabnRJWZjY3winVh-cKaVAJMiDnSBN5UaOhkX304VC6GrKAkOQg3Z9T0qT_hNxF0x8v95VCmJU/w480-h640/IMG_5634.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">The Obscure</div><div style="text-align: center;"><i>*I did not use the root end of the stamp, just the weedy branches</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFQ-3gGTtw5SkQZ5aq1hDpioX-A2ANsJD8bIx1kHINVl5zCd-xikNNo3mgpuKrXSrCXM0zPC8MqB9diDfuS6rcMSPwkP6pBdAnqbjVFNupzDTZUCWOe7YcgR1dPcS122axn1y4A-AqoTp9XuWIBYb9IvbRi2jwzAoZ45_dy5KmWzfTFSxndKlbknok7IQ/s1275/CMS471THEOBSCURE.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1275" data-original-width="1050" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFQ-3gGTtw5SkQZ5aq1hDpioX-A2ANsJD8bIx1kHINVl5zCd-xikNNo3mgpuKrXSrCXM0zPC8MqB9diDfuS6rcMSPwkP6pBdAnqbjVFNupzDTZUCWOe7YcgR1dPcS122axn1y4A-AqoTp9XuWIBYb9IvbRi2jwzAoZ45_dy5KmWzfTFSxndKlbknok7IQ/w330-h400/CMS471THEOBSCURE.jpg" width="330" /></a></div>Here you can see the Folio flipped over (<i>cover is on the right in this photo</i>) so you can see all the stamping.

It a challenge to decide each time the best way to cover the 'gusset' - the narrow portion on either side of the center. This time I decided to use 'Sticky Back Canvas' tape from Dina Wakley. The tape comes in a solid white, so sprayed it with Antique Linen Distress Spray, dried it with a heat tool, then stamped it with the Tiny Prints image (Scorched Timber Oxide ink). I believe the tape is 1 1/2" wide on the roll, so I just cut it to size to fit the gussets. Worked like a charm.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnYnHoPQfcDADMdibA5nXp-3_7jUFUiNCw4wf1hInoJvKR_J2mAJtQOJkdDcAaCR7fLFyIZmOhyveNYcrlkVGIcecGuyH7fQ8SFL2XjtZq7L6dVRBYE_4_1QBz2jyqC6l8oSRUeCgZxpbaYefBpRQeZ2OqSo7UGwMCbkbJaTObskDb0uN2Dje-9mx6_4/s2667/IMG_5989.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYnYnHoPQfcDADMdibA5nXp-3_7jUFUiNCw4wf1hInoJvKR_J2mAJtQOJkdDcAaCR7fLFyIZmOhyveNYcrlkVGIcecGuyH7fQ8SFL2XjtZq7L6dVRBYE_4_1QBz2jyqC6l8oSRUeCgZxpbaYefBpRQeZ2OqSo7UGwMCbkbJaTObskDb0uN2Dje-9mx6_4/w480-h640/IMG_5989.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>The center of the Folio has a flip up portion.

Using a heat tool, I dried the paper, thereby embedding the Distress Ink into the Collage Medium as it dried. It was only after I finished all of that, that I went to the sewing macing to stitch around the edge.</div><div>Next step was to add a piece of Chipboard to the back, so the paper becomes sturdy foundation piece to build on.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiurjaOkk_ny7kn5CSqX-ZVIvWSHP2IOHebL82S5wje5cNUFZRobf_jnAKu8ebigaOflYbxrsBpKQR7vh6SS-qky8oUPoLo1kwOl98E5_LRthb62cTZAor6CsKA9_8j-NKKTdX-cHZddkXTUXL1J_-Cd9UAUeUkmJrAeS4ztS4yCs4MeKb4c92zebyAUdc/s2667/IMG_5538.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiurjaOkk_ny7kn5CSqX-ZVIvWSHP2IOHebL82S5wje5cNUFZRobf_jnAKu8ebigaOflYbxrsBpKQR7vh6SS-qky8oUPoLo1kwOl98E5_LRthb62cTZAor6CsKA9_8j-NKKTdX-cHZddkXTUXL1J_-Cd9UAUeUkmJrAeS4ztS4yCs4MeKb4c92zebyAUdc/w480-h640/IMG_5538.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Collage- Here is the stack - from the bottom up</div><div>vintage crocheted lace</div><div>Photo Frame splattered with black paint</div><div>Library card (Layers Organic)</div><div>pink rose (Layers Organic)</div><div>Photobooth</div><div>Clipping sticker</div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMg16i6UZ9T73fKcGqvXff1Z3r6uTFJr6X6Zbyo42Puw4WMTfvKiQkzIE2AWJA13m3uGSgY-ee3u1gB5k11zM8U-LhQYtETlcNcqpoyTH5pyEkFR611hN9LWre_3Z8sCOfWDxhQCLUuNvWNTEOf5ywGq8DL4Deq6frDBMukcqrsaDXuxhwhHRC3dTFkvg/s2667/IMG_5808.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMg16i6UZ9T73fKcGqvXff1Z3r6uTFJr6X6Zbyo42Puw4WMTfvKiQkzIE2AWJA13m3uGSgY-ee3u1gB5k11zM8U-LhQYtETlcNcqpoyTH5pyEkFR611hN9LWre_3Z8sCOfWDxhQCLUuNvWNTEOf5ywGq8DL4Deq6frDBMukcqrsaDXuxhwhHRC3dTFkvg/w480-h640/IMG_5808.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>Simple, simple, simple.

I had to have one of my wisdom teeth extracted (yes, I still had them all until Monday!) so Monday and Tuesday were all about taking it easy. I read a book I got for Christmas, organized a few drawers in my craft room and watched some episodes of Top Chef (like in the daytime!). For me, that's taking it slow and easy. But now I'm good and back to business (although still eating soft foods).<br /><br />Another project today featuring the new Distress Color, Scorched Timber. I did not take photos of how I made this project so what are seeing today is me recreating the inked background I made for the project. I've also added some other information and a variation, just because wanted to try it.

But I decided to see if I could use my technique of quickly painting the surface with Collage Medium, then splattering Distress Spray Stain into the wet medium.

The month has flown by and I am kinda sad about it! I wish the Christmas season was two months long because I enjoy it so much. I love the decorations and preparing the house for any guest that might arrive. However my guest room is currently being used as a staging ground for Christmas decoration tubs, rolls of wrapping paper and presents waiting to be wrapped. There is "no room in the inn" sorta speak!<div>Today I am revisiting an old project I created back in 2017. This time with a modern twist that even my friend Cherion would be proud of! I am sure many of you will remember the original "traditional" version of the project (<i>I will link it late in the post</i>). I made this one a little more simple than the last, but both ways of creating it work. This one uses a pencil line instead of the template, but admittedly the template from the original made adding the glue much easier and faster. That being said, check out both tutorials and see which one you want to go with before starting.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4oJaXu916JK48TvEphyizl05PIw595ZNfp6kKrIAjgmJj7xk1-ePV9lOk5IxEKBnaQ2ZlqHXL7pT9MkeImwT7W2TTgtUJzR2kU38n9URniLyMJ7jT9ijufMQXmpGORrHas1uj7eIiWRpYGPTOmjX84bx6_ondg3E1nzQHo7JCwKzJQGKMV4d5oVqcJZw/s2729/IMG_5391.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /><img border="0" data-original-height="2729" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4oJaXu916JK48TvEphyizl05PIw595ZNfp6kKrIAjgmJj7xk1-ePV9lOk5IxEKBnaQ2ZlqHXL7pT9MkeImwT7W2TTgtUJzR2kU38n9URniLyMJ7jT9ijufMQXmpGORrHas1uj7eIiWRpYGPTOmjX84bx6_ondg3E1nzQHo7JCwKzJQGKMV4d5oVqcJZw/w470-h640/IMG_5391.jpeg" width="470" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I chose 4 colors of Alcohol Ink to color the Baubles + Mushroom for aging, Moss, Pink Sherbet, Cranberry and Citrus.

I finally have the house decorated the way I wanted and have stored away all the bins in the garage. I sure am enjoying the decorations and the lights each night. <br /><br />Today I have an fun project for you, using a 9 x 9" Vignette Panel and the Etcetera Mosaic Tiles. So lets get started!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqCzxYyRrp8gbV9aSodcQMGww2Quiu8fGiqamsARp0PjbhMRjBnbZRR0ncvyKew59M-LdNa6ioixrZ4orlDe2ikODf3mhxpk6r9usYgjZVDnEbA1QhBES4bm9ibTspLA4PfiZf1ebGSpUCAgHbr8sFpgFi3ujjOWJvwJI6VFYmuJ5WWQ-dbJfuTNuGQD0/s2667/IMG_5281.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqCzxYyRrp8gbV9aSodcQMGww2Quiu8fGiqamsARp0PjbhMRjBnbZRR0ncvyKew59M-LdNa6ioixrZ4orlDe2ikODf3mhxpk6r9usYgjZVDnEbA1QhBES4bm9ibTspLA4PfiZf1ebGSpUCAgHbr8sFpgFi3ujjOWJvwJI6VFYmuJ5WWQ-dbJfuTNuGQD0/w480-h640/IMG_5281.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>I covered the Vignette Panel with paper from the idea-ology Christmas Backdrops. I have more than one pack of paper so I was able to use two of the same paper to cover the inside. The seam where the paper meets will mostly be covered up so no worries about that.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrjKEXA45BWvyceZxeaunGKP9PHRGX3O6KU-pJbN5t1xOAZhdtaekSe48ysnQL6jOB30P7XVVdsn87cRqJOiOSjjIbzIIXI_qEMxkX5Fgm5pl5ry1viZKOzOvM68N6od6Ms9mGO15XcblQ6_2sLo-Tb8nUjgSLXDKgnoSlP5Rm5ZvX5pLlR4SNt3YhtQ/s2667/IMG_5216.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEizrjKEXA45BWvyceZxeaunGKP9PHRGX3O6KU-pJbN5t1xOAZhdtaekSe48ysnQL6jOB30P7XVVdsn87cRqJOiOSjjIbzIIXI_qEMxkX5Fgm5pl5ry1viZKOzOvM68N6od6Ms9mGO15XcblQ6_2sLo-Tb8nUjgSLXDKgnoSlP5Rm5ZvX5pLlR4SNt3YhtQ/w480-h640/IMG_5216.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>I also covered the sides and back with more paper, then added the green Design Tape Trim on the lip edge.

I used the small tree from the Alpine pack. After spraying it with Rustic Wilderness and drying it with the heat tool, I sprayed it with water and squeezed it to remove a bit of the green, but keeping the rich color. After drying it again, I wiped Opaque Texture Paste over the tree to mimic snow. You can dry the Texture Paste with a heat tool to quicken the process.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggaIa9I5_L1X4Vn6u5MW78uBVmP2sPUOg8ZxAcYamPQF83TNPDpwVtT23EIfmzsTUQh-dfXkcCNgaslNUYFvr3GAqgB5Yjy9ANCBuuzkkrnRsGDjub54zq9kC9tTH2eg7wl8hjeKvm6K4hPHXYLwvWCt1kfOTMjeaftX_5yrnz8Er4gsN3ZK9l_4l3hc0/s2667/IMG_5255.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggaIa9I5_L1X4Vn6u5MW78uBVmP2sPUOg8ZxAcYamPQF83TNPDpwVtT23EIfmzsTUQh-dfXkcCNgaslNUYFvr3GAqgB5Yjy9ANCBuuzkkrnRsGDjub54zq9kC9tTH2eg7wl8hjeKvm6K4hPHXYLwvWCt1kfOTMjeaftX_5yrnz8Er4gsN3ZK9l_4l3hc0/w480-h640/IMG_5255.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>So I started adding the embellishments with Collage Medium.

Thank you to all who bought one...they are almost gone! Which means I can go back to making Christmas things (<i>and that makes me very happy</i>).</p><p>Today's post is all about the Etcetera Tray I created using Etcetera Tiles, both the solid and Cutout Tiles. This really is a easy project and to be honest, I'm ready to make another one!</p><p>Lets get started!</p><p>First of all the substrate is a large Vignette Tray. It can be covered in any type of Christmas paper. Here is use the black check pattern that came in the 2022 Christmas Backdrops pack. I liked the black check because it makes the other colors pop. Also, as a rule I never cover the center of the tray because it will be covered up with the Etcetera Tiles!</p><p style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIKU6vprQBbMxNl04QBCJot7itdxclp5fU3KZh6IkJ2oiuURcJ3emdwCSorWo5ndsvaEwZoDH5NhUkg6vxGl7WZbp48GmOS415XG2K5bx8oGxMmxNppQMEjZYPbBnEcdMR12250lEa0BBrrCkekYsOedKxOAYz41xrK5tQMnhVtfZtRf_oBG2j5MpNh1s/s2667/IMG_1838.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIKU6vprQBbMxNl04QBCJot7itdxclp5fU3KZh6IkJ2oiuURcJ3emdwCSorWo5ndsvaEwZoDH5NhUkg6vxGl7WZbp48GmOS415XG2K5bx8oGxMmxNppQMEjZYPbBnEcdMR12250lEa0BBrrCkekYsOedKxOAYz41xrK5tQMnhVtfZtRf_oBG2j5MpNh1s/w480-h640/IMG_1838.jpeg" width="480" /></a></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I covered the inside of the tray with the black check, then use Design Tape, Trims to cover the lip edge of the Tray. This dark green tape was perfect with my color scheme.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I cut a scrap piece of cardstock 4 1/2 x 9 1/2" to give myself a template to work on. The paper will be used when setting up the tiles, then <i>discarded</i> before adhering the tiles to the tray with foam squares.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpPOr_8RenuPhiVTpjQhkUMVKPBgsKGo9R-B8KWSjmQiwnl2WCQyTpCWHNccbliaTLD_bAuGvHFbj-YDO8KcElEoyChPH0BK5e8sqPxymgtoV62BZFxkQFGjr-MuK4SwDzGo0czl8YX3b4N0mxeY5myuK0EO39C7up5f9cp6ljQuu-6KrxMg4AE_JRwMU/s2667/IMG_1817.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpPOr_8RenuPhiVTpjQhkUMVKPBgsKGo9R-B8KWSjmQiwnl2WCQyTpCWHNccbliaTLD_bAuGvHFbj-YDO8KcElEoyChPH0BK5e8sqPxymgtoV62BZFxkQFGjr-MuK4SwDzGo0czl8YX3b4N0mxeY5myuK0EO39C7up5f9cp6ljQuu-6KrxMg4AE_JRwMU/w480-h640/IMG_1817.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>I also added paper to the outside of the tray...again, this is a paper from the 2022 Backdrops.

I wanted different levels so I had to make sure that part would work out before I started adding the paper to the tiles.<div>There are 8 solid tiles and 2 cut out tiles + the shapes from the cutout tiles.

The books are usually used in idea-ology vignettes. They are great to fill in a small spot or to stack to raise some things up.<br /><br />Lets get started:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">As I mentioned the seasonal ephemera packs come with many little book covers, so the first thing to do is choose what covers you will use! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">1. Cut a piece of Distress Kraft Heavystock to fit each cover.<br />2. Use Collage Medium to add Heavystock to the cover. <br />3. Score cover on spine and gently fold to create the book shape.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnkkKUTCQ65UTkWf4nR558OcNivlfQWbJTWUK2hh7KEr6LbsgGuNX9D2_xWUb2asRL-21UPDs_0HWffU3HKqg5yzVL7Xrv_3ofikW-VWzRNjgIyGl0zRaCWoC6xSbaatvfyFRv3SsIfTTdMQVNEln_ty9q3LqDhlaqf-U4p3RsnzXxQ7Tvs6dCobL4nEg/s2667/IMG_4142.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnkkKUTCQ65UTkWf4nR558OcNivlfQWbJTWUK2hh7KEr6LbsgGuNX9D2_xWUb2asRL-21UPDs_0HWffU3HKqg5yzVL7Xrv_3ofikW-VWzRNjgIyGl0zRaCWoC6xSbaatvfyFRv3SsIfTTdMQVNEln_ty9q3LqDhlaqf-U4p3RsnzXxQ7Tvs6dCobL4nEg/w480-h640/IMG_4142.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>4. Cut long strips of paper (about 8"). I used paper cut from old books. Then fold them into little bundles. You can fan-fold them but I just rolled them with a small spot of Collage Medium at the turn. You will need 4 "bundles" per book. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">NOTE:<i> if your paper is thicker than the vintage book paper I used, then you may not need as many bundles.</i></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja8tgS1a-Zo0CnjsokuleLIj3tzmW9b6aKt-JzkCO0JZUp0g4vn0W7O_RkFSI7hYeTmMN_jI4xhtpv6jYu7BDEm5avtlV20XRitRPoQn6hosyEd8uT3lOpcw3GhqNuyVNEBH4a8HklrI49OjIg7sd988tFmeTo8mUlqkgzrfa6W8nrXwtjn0GgLbhlazE/s2667/IMG_4144.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEja8tgS1a-Zo0CnjsokuleLIj3tzmW9b6aKt-JzkCO0JZUp0g4vn0W7O_RkFSI7hYeTmMN_jI4xhtpv6jYu7BDEm5avtlV20XRitRPoQn6hosyEd8uT3lOpcw3GhqNuyVNEBH4a8HklrI49OjIg7sd988tFmeTo8mUlqkgzrfa6W8nrXwtjn0GgLbhlazE/w480-h640/IMG_4144.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">5.

The Halloween backdrops worked beautifully to fill the tray with a great spooky background. You might not be able to tell (hopefully) that the damask paper is pieced together. There is a seam in this photo that you will be able to see in other photos, but it will be hidden when the window goes up (<i>that was planned</i>).</div><div>I fussy cut the strip with words and the 'notice' from one of the Halloween papers, to give the appearance of an old wall. I also added a black Design Tape Trim to the edge of the Panel.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1HBFssgprR22EgcZvOFOP8MLaqqC9fZLNGeGtuGIWO14PYz72Mhkw0DCWRXjwQoMgpHtEXu16VDXFu_Z2KsJm75xbn77i4N0oirjZtnkL5hHAV6d9ob7Kq87pcEl0n58V3kwPhjtIyYhJl8wEuLi-EEbISq_Jv22hr_9DkXPt-bUDBxbAFY2z3ssiupw/s2667/IMG_2023.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1HBFssgprR22EgcZvOFOP8MLaqqC9fZLNGeGtuGIWO14PYz72Mhkw0DCWRXjwQoMgpHtEXu16VDXFu_Z2KsJm75xbn77i4N0oirjZtnkL5hHAV6d9ob7Kq87pcEl0n58V3kwPhjtIyYhJl8wEuLi-EEbISq_Jv22hr_9DkXPt-bUDBxbAFY2z3ssiupw/w480-h640/IMG_2023.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div>I knew I wanted to add the large Baseboard Frame, so I drilled a hole in the box for the Halloween Tiny Lights where the corner of the frame will land to cover the hole.

I added a small crown from the Adornments Treasures pack. There is Mummy Cloth and a piece of ephemera wrapped around the cork, then tied with a string.

One of my favorite idea-ology products ever. I have saved this cracked one in a drawer for more than a year, so I could use it at Halloween! I filled it with Backdrop paper, a bug from the Entomology pack and some fitting words from the Sticker book. Once the inside was secure, the front was added to the back. I wiped Crushed Olive Distress Paint and black Texture Paste on the outside.

I wanted to see how the Pearl Crayons would react, would the black show through? Would the pearl stay 'pearly' even when water is added? Would the crayons mix and layer over each other?

I would scribble, then rub it into crevasses left by the stencil. I also sprayed it with water, dabbing off the excess, drying and adding more color where I wanted it. The colors worked beautifully together, layering over one another. I love that because of the crayon size you can get right into tight spots again and again to add as much as you want.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzr_na2NajBfTNs6c8tJUQexEXMpBToa1Zk4CBXwWgT7P-wceaTOTI34ViAVala61L0TSVVMM_K7yBOqk2z9JsSLHHFP1N02iLBXjKDnIkdc86fHkL0yW4rtjgQO3zpQtAW2r0-il3mWsEbIO9ggzMfAbkOBBicmJQwBkco5YGQB0Oy7dXHNaxqCWZA3w/s2667/IMG_4282.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjzr_na2NajBfTNs6c8tJUQexEXMpBToa1Zk4CBXwWgT7P-wceaTOTI34ViAVala61L0TSVVMM_K7yBOqk2z9JsSLHHFP1N02iLBXjKDnIkdc86fHkL0yW4rtjgQO3zpQtAW2r0-il3mWsEbIO9ggzMfAbkOBBicmJQwBkco5YGQB0Oy7dXHNaxqCWZA3w/w480-h640/IMG_4282.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>It was a layering process that took me about 15 minutes. I just repeatedly scribbled, rubbed, spritzed, and dried. I even used a wet wipe to pull back some of the top color over the paste. I think drying with a heat tool between layers helped the process. I also love how the black of the paste still comes through the pearl of the crayon.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg240PfFDKyB8v8R3gjPQaicPRiTNibiFUtGNVC50btHiTMnmqICWIc20MQsFpQXmcblsg-kQgUpln2j78EKSSNONYGqNU3j6vOqtNC7qG8BFVXNgQdFff0yO0mi-N2wk1uq2U87Ab7jnnRBf54VjAk-_qr36F6a7uMu2_rz8tyDHnn4QqqSwyCK76q7Q/s2667/IMG_4287.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjg240PfFDKyB8v8R3gjPQaicPRiTNibiFUtGNVC50btHiTMnmqICWIc20MQsFpQXmcblsg-kQgUpln2j78EKSSNONYGqNU3j6vOqtNC7qG8BFVXNgQdFff0yO0mi-N2wk1uq2U87Ab7jnnRBf54VjAk-_qr36F6a7uMu2_rz8tyDHnn4QqqSwyCK76q7Q/w480-h640/IMG_4287.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0iNLcjTRHhjU6AfBGdj1MctsuGWQgKsOfAOShATFKvXDlYyb-Yw6dgsigQg4hDjfJytKMOOVlK06XPsKTj25_q51JCGh8tfWqBWiAa6ugX_tpGfw3-WgEuoPDYnzWb_Ko5WRjiC2vSPv3BES7iYPxd5MTXxw6Y8weJNUC0Up4lm4jMbqbMA2-7AxypEc/s4032/IMG_4311.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0iNLcjTRHhjU6AfBGdj1MctsuGWQgKsOfAOShATFKvXDlYyb-Yw6dgsigQg4hDjfJytKMOOVlK06XPsKTj25_q51JCGh8tfWqBWiAa6ugX_tpGfw3-WgEuoPDYnzWb_Ko5WRjiC2vSPv3BES7iYPxd5MTXxw6Y8weJNUC0Up4lm4jMbqbMA2-7AxypEc/w480-h640/IMG_4311.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>After drying for one last time, I turned it over to add the risers that come with the Facades pack.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojEsK2OMR2yKraIDApLF2FWxGAeoQFoDZiJU_ah53_oPndZALNyeGSh2b_sRbT76qbvm3rPh1mAB3VU77Bj9whmCQMX-9sTqnW_rUVSuGjRouE0M3GHJRHTjdIAiNw5lk8fIrgi_vbw0Og8HXyNMmPs7NnP1SAuZ14hfIYEUHxzUF00J_SwxmswzsWWs/s2667/IMG_4289.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2667" data-original-width="2000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjojEsK2OMR2yKraIDApLF2FWxGAeoQFoDZiJU_ah53_oPndZALNyeGSh2b_sRbT76qbvm3rPh1mAB3VU77Bj9whmCQMX-9sTqnW_rUVSuGjRouE0M3GHJRHTjdIAiNw5lk8fIrgi_vbw0Og8HXyNMmPs7NnP1SAuZ14hfIYEUHxzUF00J_SwxmswzsWWs/w480-h640/IMG_4289.jpeg" width="480" /></a></div>I added the Facade + a circle from the Layers pack to the center of the Panel with Collage Medium.</div><div>I love our Marble Tape but it wide!
