Suzi Blu - Angel of Art in Metal Foil

My turn posting at the Stampvie DT Blog again today and I tried something new!

I just love trying new things. And this was way too much fun! I had seen these cool metal art projects on the internet  and then ran across this YouTube Video showing how to do it.. so you know I had to try it right? 

Here is how mine turned out.

 This really pretty easy to do and it was so fun! The main supplies? Hardware store Foil Duct Tape - and embellishments. Cutting the tape into pieces and placing them on a piece of chipboard. For wording and "pop-up" effects under the metal, I used Chipboard Thicker letters, and chipboard flourishes. Attach them in place on the chipboard. Then stick down in pieces of the tape, overlapping in different directions. Then you use what ever, bonefolder, metal working tools, the end of a pen... what ever to go around the chipboard pieces and give the appearance of metal embossing. Then I found copper metal foil tape and put down a few small pieces. Edges of the tape are then worked with whatever you have. Metal scroll tools, pens just decorate! Black paint is rubbed over the entire piece. Then rub down.. and most off to leave just enough to enhance the piece. Bronze colored rubbing powder for a shimmer. 

Then to the pretty focus point... Suzi Blu's Angel of Art!  So perfect for my metal art!

She is colored her with my Copics, then added some Stickles and Bling to dress her up a bit. She is attached to the piece, then a few other embellishments. Corner pieces, clock faces, Hearts, Stars and Crowns... whatever felt right.

Love working with new things.. Hope you enjoyed it :0) 

Have a great Sunday

Showing off a Suzi Blu Stamp on a Scrapbook Page

Hi - Who would have thought a Suzi Blu stamp on a Donkey Scrapbook page? Well I figured the photo of little Sonia was just too precious and these great new Stampavie Suzi Blu stamps just were perfect for a scrapbook page. These stamps are larger so they are great for those Bigger projects!

 I backed my page with kraft paper, a cream colored card stock border punched all around, then I stamped and masked and just went a bit nuts with a sea mist spray. Some scrap fun papers, a hand cut banner, ribbon, buttons and LOTS of doodling.

Then those Suzi Blu stamps! I used Pretty Girl with a paper pieced outfit and bling - colored with my Promarkers. Then I used one of the new Suzi Blu sentiments "Fall in Love" cuz that is just what you do when you meet up with baby donkey Sonia! :0)

I have really had fun doing a few more scrapbook pages with my stamps lately - Especially ones with "my children" in them! :0)

Hope you have a wonderful Monday  - And don't forget you have one more day to get in on my Blog Candy HERE for those three brand new Stampavie Stamps!

Sneak Peek - Suzi Blu - Spirit Girl

Well CHA is under way! And today it is my turn to share on the Stampavie DT Blog. And I had to share here as well right?

Really stepped out of my normal box here and just went with it and "tried" to do something a bit different. And I had a TOTAL BLAST doing it!

Started off with a canvas, tore pieces of cardstock to create my background. I colored the Spirit Girl with promakers, and then cut her out. The sentiment is also one of Suzi's new stamps called "Fall in Love".  Love these new quotes in her collection. I then cut out some roses and a bird from pattern paper, chipboard words and trimmed the edge with measuring tape twill ribbon.

So how have you stepped outside your crafting box lately? These new Suzi Blu images really help inspire and make it all so easy to have fun!

Hope you enjoyed it ;0) Off to CHA now!

For my frame I used the Suzi Blu images "Fly Free" and "A Creative Life" - How totally fun are these! I paper pieced a pretty dress with lace ribbon for the Girl "Fly Free' and then used the entire House and with quote "A Creative Life" for the center of my frame.  These new Suzi Blue stamps are so versatile  - art projects, journals, cards, scrapbook pages what ever you can dream up these images are sized to work and give you lots of inspiration to jump off and create your own works of art!
