Hi there,
we are starting a new challenge over at the A Day for Daisies Blog and the topic is "add pearls or beads". I decided to go with microbeads on my creation:
Paper Artsy #5 - Paper Dolls (I got inspired by Debs' post because she places her doll in front of a beautiful background)
613 Avenue Create Challenge #166 - Anything Goes w/Optional Twist - All That Glitters
Use your Stuff Challenge #213 - Lace, Ribbon or Twine
Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - Make your own Background
Have a day for daisies.
Yours,
we are starting a new challenge over at the A Day for Daisies Blog and the topic is "add pearls or beads". I decided to go with microbeads on my creation:
- color the A Day for Daisies Mermaid Vintage White Lingerie with Delta, Touch Twin and DIY Markers
- cove a Manila Tag with gesso and create a background using Gelatos (Fig, Elderberry, Metallic Icing)
- since the Gelatos are water-reactive I covered this layer with clear gesso to avoid smudging
- stamp JOFY Mini 16 with Memento Luxe (Sweet Plum) several times and color the circles with Peerless Watercolor and a waterbrush
- cut some drywall tape into circles and add them with Multi Medium Matte for more texture
- apply Texture Paste through a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil (Bubbles)
- mix Glazing Liquid with Fresco Finish Paint (Dolly Mix) and apply the mixture over the tag, let dry for a little bit and swipe it away with a damp baby wipe; repeat the same process with Distress Paint (Chipped Sapphire)
- dye a piece of seam binding with the rest of the acrylic paint left on the craft sheet
- ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Chipped Sapphire)
- add the sentiment using a Small Talk sticker and ink up the edges with Distress Ink (Black Soot)
- apply some transparent liquid glue around the sentiment and add silver metallic microbeads
- ink up the edges randomly with Versamark and heat-emboss them with Ranger Sticky enbossing powder; add Ranger Shiny Foil Transfer Sheets (Vintage) as a finishing touch

What a fantastically clever tag! The textures you created in the background made me scoot up closer to the computer screen to take a good look at! LOVE all those circles and polka dots and how you added so much dimension. And can I just say DREAMY to this color palette? It is so pretty and was such a perfect way to represent water. I like how you went in sort of a purpley direction. The sentiment is a great lesson to remember and it looks amazing paired with the microbeads. This is stunning from top to bottom and I'm so glad you shared your creativity with us for this week's Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge!
