Altered Grungy Cigar Box


Hello everyone, hope you are having a wonderful day. I want to share with you, this altered cigar box tutorial I created, for Scrapbooking with M.E. Boutique with the June Kit. I used the Durable Paper Collection from Authentique.  Love the grunge look of this paper, makes it super easy to come up with some cool projects for that special guy in your life.


I began by painting the box with some Faded Jeans Distress Spray Stain and added a piece of the Authentique Durable Paper Collection on top of the box with some gel medium.  I really wanted the top of the box to have lot of layers. I then added some molding paste with some stencils.


The clip art of the antique cars are some I found on the internet for free and I printed them on some grunge paper and added  some of the Distress Crackle Paint in  Clear Rock Candy.  I am loving the cracked class look.


I added some recollection micro beads in copper, gold and silver and added some Lindy's Embossing Powder in the Kaiser Russet Red.


I hope you enjoy the tutorial, a couple of times I am out of frame and I am very sorry about that.

Father’s Day Watercolor Card


Hi everyone, today I would love to share with you a watercolor card I created, using some old stamps I have in my stash from Great Impressions for Father’s Day. I received some Tim Holtz Distress Markers for Christmas and had not yet, had a chance to really play with them,  so I thought why not try them out with some watercolor techniques.
 
I first stamped my images on some watercolor paper and began to color in the images using Tim Holtz Distress Markers. This is the first time I have colored with these markers. I began by applying a light coat of water where I wanted the color and in a circular motion began to spread the color with a watercolor paint brush. To get the darker colors for shadowing I just added more layers of the distress marker and blended it out.
 

For the background I applied Distress Inks in Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass to my mat and added some water. I then applies water with my brush to the background and picked up the color with my paint brush and applied to i got the desired color I was looking for.
