Sizzix Gladys the Flamingo Home Décor Project

Good morning.  Hope you are well.  I have a home décor project to share today.  

Flamingos are one of my favourite birds so when I saw Gladys on the Tim Holtz Sizzix release I couldn't resist her.

I have previously created a flamingo home décor piece using the popular flamingo/pigeons quotation so I went for something different this time.

I created the quotation in Word and printed it using my laser printer.  I ink blended the paper using distress oxides Kitsch Flamingo and Salvaged Patina and sprayed this with water.  After this I sprayed it with Winterberry Distress Mica Stain.

Once I'd finished all the inking I used my Minc machine to foil the laser printed quote in gold. 

I stamped a couple of layers of the Altenew Leaf Medallion stamp set and embossed with distress embossing glazes in Kitsch Flamingo and Salvaged Patina

The flamingo is cut using the Sizzix Gladys Colorise Die Set.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my blog.

I'll see you soon

Flamingo Frame using Napkin Art and Sweet Poppy Stencils

Good morning all, I hope Wednesday is treating you well.  Just lately I have been venturing into other crafts so today I have a home decor project to share.

This project started out as a humble paper napkin that I picked up in the sale from my local supermarket. (no flamingo there yet....)

I separated the layers of the napkin and then attached the lop layer to a 10" x 8" artists canvas board using Viva Decor Servietten-Technik Kleber+Lack (which roughly translates to napkins technique glue & varnish).

Once that was fully dry I used the Flamingo Stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils and Cosmic Shimmer Texture Paste in Copper Kettle to add my flamingo on to the project.

Then once it was all dry I added into a frame and it was ready to hang on my bedroom wall.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by my blog and I'll see you soon x
