ICE Resin® Tints Color Heart and Flower Necklace

Hello ICE Resin® Fans!  

Today, I have a post up over on the ICE Resin® Blog.  To see more photos with a step-by-step tutorial and find out all of the details you can click HERE.

I have a tutorial to share with you using ICE Resin®, and some of the NEW ICE Resin® Tints.  The new tints are available in six different colors.  For my project I will be using four of the new tints.  I love to create jewelry and especially assemblage style jewelry.  I love to mix metals and now with the tints I can very easily add color to the metals.  I also used the ICED Enamels in Relique Ivory along with the ICED Enamels Medium on all of the metal pieces before adding the ICE Resin® with the tints.  I thought having the Relique Ivory background on all the metal pieces would give the tinted ICE Resin® a more vibrant look.  I also used one of the new Antique Bronze Heart Milan Bezels, Relique Glitz Gold Glitter, German Glass Glitter and Ranger Glossy Accents to add touches of glitz and glamour to the necklace.  I used a bronze base for the necklace and then also some leaves, a rose cabochon, some smaller metal pieces with flowers and leaves.  To finish of the necklace I added some AB flat back crystals.  I absolutely love how the necklace turned out!  It has a vintage glam look to it.

Creating Crystal Like Flowers with ICE Resin®

Hello everyone!  Today, I have a technique to share with you using ICE Resin®, ICED Enamels, Glitter, Ranger Perfect Pearls, and various types of paper from vintage sheet music to paper flowers.  I have to say I just love the look of ICE Resin® on paper!  It doesn’t matter if it is vintage paper or newer paper, sealed or not sealed it always has such a beautiful and unique look.  

I mixed up some of the ICE Resin® and then added small amounts of the resin to different cups.  Then I used few different colors of Ranger Perfect Pearls and added it to the resin.  I used the stir stick to mix the ICE Resin® and Perfect Pearls.  Doing this created a beautiful pearl colors.  I used a paint brush to add the pearly resin to the paper flowers and leaves.  When the ICE Resin® cures the flowers have a beautiful crystal look to them and they become hard from the resin.  I also added some of the ICED Enamels™ Relique Glitz Gold Glitter to the center of the larger flowers and the edges of this leaves for a bit of added sparkle.  Once the ICE Resin® has cured the flowers can be added to all kinds of home décor and DIY projects.  

Here is a close up.  I have a full step-by-step tutorial with pictures over on the ICE Resin Blog.  If you would like to find out all of the details you can click HERE.

I hope you enjoy the tutorial and remember ICE Resin® isn't just for jewelry you can use it with paper crafting too!

Thank you so much for stopping by today!

Hugs and Smiles,

Heidi

ICE Resin® Creating an Open Back Bezel with a Decorative Bookplate - Power Word Believe

Hello blogging friends!  I am so excited to share my very first ICE Resin® Design Team project with you!  Our theme for the project was power words but it was open to our own interpretation.  

My power word is Believe.  I think Believe is a great power word because it can have different meanings for everyone.  

Believe in your dreams, believe in yourself, believe in God or a higher power--just Believe.  :)

For my project I used an open back bookplate to create a bezel.  I filled it with ICE Resin®, Iced Enamels™ Inclusions Shattered Mica in Chartreuse and Silver, my power word Believe charm and a butterfly charm.  I added crystals and rhinestone chain to embellish the bookplate bezel and then I added a beaded dangle and chain to finish off this beautiful necklace.

You can click HERE  to visit the ICE Resin® Blog and find out all of the details and see a step-by-step picture tutorial on how to create this bookplate open back bezel.

ICE Resin Creative Team 2016!

Hello everyone!  This week and over the next couple of weeks all of the ICE Resin® Creative Team Members are being introduced over on the ICE Resin Blog.  My introduction and about me post is up today over on the ICE Resin Blog.

I would love it if you would hop on over there and check it out!  I have several pieces of my jewelry and design work using ICE Resin® and a little bit about myself as well.

Be sure to check out the ICE Resin® Blog over the next couple of weeks to meet all the talented people on the 2016 Creative Team!

I'm sorry for the lack of projects over the past few weeks.  My RA has really been flaring up so it had put a damper on being able to create.  Hopefully it will pass soon and I can get back to doing what I love!

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi
