PTI-March 2014 Blog Hop-High Gloss

The theme for the PTI-March 2014-Blog Hop is:  High Gloss.

I clear-embossed the sentiment die-cut, & used Glossy Accents on the heart.

For added dimension, the white panel is popped up with foam adhesive.

I am also playing along with Betsy's, PTI-Make It Monday #157: DIY Cover Plates.

To create the background, I used the following:
Bubble Talk Die Collection
2009 Bitty Dot Basics Patterned Paper Collection.

Bird - TAG-CARD

I made this top-folding TAG-CARD for Heather's 90-Minute Scramble.

(All stamps are by Hero Arts.)

I'm also playing along with the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge: Simon Says Tag It.

Watercoloring - TAG-CARD

I stamped the Hero Arts-Post Card stamp twice, to create a top-folding TAG-CARD.

These were the steps I took to create the watercolored panel:

• covered a book page with gesso
• used reinkers & water to do the watercoloring
• splattered watered-down Black Soot-Distress Ink
• splattered watered-down black acrylic paint (for a more intense black)
• splattered watered-down (Golden Acrylics)-Iridescent Gold (Fine)

(It was difficult to photograph the gold splatters.)

I'm playing along with the following challenges:

• Virginia's View Challenge #1 - Watercoloring
• Simon Says Stamp-Wednesday Challenge - Simon Says Tag It

All stamps are by Hero Arts, & the sentiment die is by Simon Says Stamp.

Thanks for your visit.
