Chameleon Color Tone Markers with JustRite Papercraft Clear Stamps, ButterBeeScraps Filigrees, and a touch of Mixed Media - Love the Simple Things Card

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a beautiful floral rose card using the New Chameleon Color Tones Markers with a touch of mixed media.  This is the card I was planning on posting last week but my youngest son was sick with a really bad cold which turned in to an ear infection and he was home from school for a couple of days.  All is well now--he is feeling better and back to school.

Here is the card that I designed.  I love how the floral image turned out and it was so easy to color using the Chameleon Color Tones Markers.  With the different shades of pink and green how many different colors of markers do you think I used?  I think you might be surprised.  :)

Check it out--only 2 markers!  Are you surprised? I love how many color tones can be achieved with the Chameleon Color Tones Markers!  The Deluxe pen set includes 22 markers--20 Color Tone Markers, Black Fine Line Detail Pen, and a Colorless Blender Pen.  These are permanent alcohol ink pen system.  They are double-ended and have a super soft brush nib on one end and a bullet nib on the other end.  There is a refillable mixing chamber that has toning medium in it.  When the mixing nib and marker nib touch in the chamber this is where the magic happens and the color changes giving you multiple tones in one marker. 

After I colored the image I then I die cut it using S5-131 Matting Basics A from Spellbinders Paper Arts®.  Next I used a doily stencil and applied Liquitex Light Modeling Paste.  When the paste was dry I inked around the floral image using Ranger Distress Inks-Antique Linen, Spun Sugar.

Here is a close up so you can see more of the detail from the stencil.

I wanted to modeling paste to pop a little more so I used white acrylic paint and dry brushed over parts of the paper.

Here is a close up so you can see more of the details.  I used a sentiment from the same stamp set and Rich Cocoa ink to stamp.  Then I used S4-462 Labels Thirty-Nine to cut/emboss the label shape.  I added Bronze Filigree Corners HD901-B and a Bronze Butterfly Charm.  I added some paints to the filigree pieces and buffed them so some of the metal would show through.  Then I used SS10 Clear AB Pointy Back Crystals and SS16 Clear AB Flat Back Crystals to accent the pieces.  To finish the card I added a few AB sequins.

Here is a close up of one of the corner filigree pieces.

I just love how this card turned out!  Please be sure to check out the New Chameleon Color Tones Markers.  Also--Monique, owner of ButterBeeScraps is on vacation so the store is currently closed but will reopen October 3rd.  I can't wait for her to open back up--she has new goodies to add to the store so be watching for an announcement on that.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

A Little Bit of This and That - Sunday Earring Challenge - Art at the Edge AND ICE at the Edge with Ken Oliver - Craft Room Revolving Bin - Chameleon Markers - Work Table Wednesday

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a blog post with a little bit of this and that and a ton of pictures LOL.  Just kind of a mix of a few things and what I have been up to.

The first thing is the Sunday Earring Challenge over at the B'sue Boutiques Creative Group on Facebook.  This is just a fun challenge to keep motivated during the week and all you have to do is make a pair of earrings on Sunday (more than one pair if you want) and post it to the group and on the Pinterest board.

These are the earring that I designed for the Sunday Earring Challenge.  I had so much fun making these.  I used some small connectors and Spectra beads from B'sue Boutiques.  To colorize the roses and connectors I used Ranger Vintaj Patina--Ruby, Quartz, and Marine.  I love how pretty and shabby these earrings turned out.  I was very excited to see my earrings in the B'sue Boutiques Newsletter!  You can click HERE to see the newsletter.   If you love to make jewelry I hope you will check out B'sue Boutiques!

As some of you might have seen of Facebook I am going to be attending Art at the Edge in Newburgh, Indiana October  25, 2014--I am so excited to attend this event!  

Ken is offering two wonderful classes with paper crafting and mixed media.  The class includes a wonderful lunch at The Edgewater Grille.  There will also be some time to explore the town and for a little shopping.  Plus there is going to be a Fabulous Swag Bag from Prima!!  If you are interested in attending you can click HERE for all of the information--but there are only a few spots left!  

Several people who are attending the event are staying in New Newburgh for the weekend (myself included) so Ken is offering another class for Friday night--ICE at the Edge--Techniques with ICE Resin.  You can click HERE for all the details.

The other reason I am so excited for the weekend getaway is I will be hanging with the girls--Debbie Seyer and Sherry Cheever.  Can't wait to see them and have a fun filled weekend!!

Now this is something a little different but I just wanted to share it with you.  This is a revolving bin that I altered for my craft room.  It came from Harbor Freight, in a box--lots of pieces--LOTS--and it was black.  I won't lie it took at least a good hour if not more to put this little baby together.  It's not hard just lots of pieces LOL!  But I love how it turned out!!  After I assembled all of the trays I spray painted it.  Then I used some steel wool to sand and distress the edges a little.  To finish it off I added some floral rose fabric tape and some beautiful washi tape with birds and flower and then I filled it with goodies.  I watch a lot of YT videos and several people were purchasing these bins and altering them to match their rooms.  You can click HERE to find out all of the details about the revolving bin and order it if you would like.

Here are a couple of close up pictures so you can see the tapes and how I distressed the edges.

Are you still hanging in here with me?  LOL!  Just a couple more things to share.  :)

So excited to have the NEW hot of the production line Chameleon Color Tones Markers!!  Chameleon Color Tones will be available to Ship October 1st!  You can click HERE to sign up for the Chameleon Art Products Newsletter.

Check out all the pretty colors!!  Be sure to check back tomorrow and I will have a project to share with you using the Chameleon Color Tones Markers.

Today over at B'sue Boutiques Creative Group on Facebook it's Work Table Wednesday.  This is what's on my table.  For the challenge I have until Friday to post pictures of what I created using these pieces.  Wish me luck LOL!

I am planning to make some earrings with these little brass leaves and the Spectra beads.

Other then a necklace I an not really sure what I am going to do with this backless brass heart stamping.  But I will share the finished pieces with you later in the week.

Wow!  What a picture filled post LOL!  But I hope you enjoyed the pictures and projects I shared with you and they inspire you to create something fun.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi
