# 32 is Julie K!!! Congratulations Julie!! Here is what Julie said in her comment,
Thank you so much to everyone that visited my blog and all of your wonderful comments! I really appreciate it and it's always so much fun to read all of the comments and wonderful things about a company I love to work with! And what about the Crafty Secrets DT Ladies--they totally ROCKED on the tutorials!!!
I have a fun new project to share with you today, it's a purse that I altered. My mom gave me this tiny little purse and said have fun creating! Here is a picture of the purse before I started altering it.
To start out I sprayed Vintage Pink, Red Velvet and Black Gold Glimmer Mist on the purse until I had the desired color and then set aside to dry. Once the purse was dry then I took out my Girl Time Cotton Scraps and cut out an image to use on the front of the purse.
I noticed in the comments from yesterdays post several of you made comments about the Cotton Scraps. I really love working with Cotton Scraps, they are easy to use and can be a lot of fun for so many crafters, not just card makers and scrapbookers. The Cotton Scraps come in one large cotton sheet with several images and themes and they have a slightly sticky back paper. They do not have adhesive on them, the paper backing just makes it easier to cut the cotton. You can use a variety of adhesives and embellishments to apply Cotton Scraps to your project and if you like to sew, quilt or make clothing you will also love Cotton Scraps. I have used brads and eyelets for embellishments and my favorite adhesive is a liquid from Beacon called Fabri-Tac. You can find Fabri-Tac at Joann's, Wal-mart and most craft and hobby stores. Fabri-Tac is fast drying, permanent, washable after 24 hrs and dries crystal clear. It also works great for lace and trim.
The felt flowers are from Creative Impressions. They were originally a light pink and I used Vintage Pink and Red Velvet Glimmer Mist to darken them up a bit so they would match the purse better. I also added an antique button to the center of the flower.
Supplies~

Tattered Angels-Glimmer Mist (as mentioned above)

I also sprayed a little Snow Angel and Vintage Pink Glimmer Mist on the Cotton Scraps, let it dry and used Fabri-Tac to adhere it to the front of the purse. The Party Girl image had a crown so I thought it would be good to add some Bling! Everybody needs a little Bling, right?!

ReplyDeleteHi Heidi:
ReplyDeleteWould you mind sharing where one can get the Labels Seven S4-231 and Large Labels S4-168 that you used when you made the book plates that you posted in early October? I LOVE your idea and plan on creating them for stocking stuffers for all of my book worm friends! Thank you for sharing.
