A Touch of Red






I altered a cigar box to make a gift box.    




I used Prima flowers, Dixie Belle Chalk Paint, Sabor embellishments,Stencils with hearts, Gelatos, Art Alchemy Sparks Ginger Magic, fabric tape and MicaColor. 


I used the lemonade chalk to cover the box.




Then I used the MicaColor to run the Sparkle Gold down the sides in drips.





I took the Prima flowers and used a marker to color the edges and then sprayed with alcohol to blend the color.


I use some textured cardstock and rubbed gold gelato on it to get a nice look.  I also used one of your stencils and cut out the bee medallion. 


I used the Stencil and some Art Anthology to make a textured embellishment on the top and sides



I used the seam tape and put the the ribbon on the top and side to keep closed. The ribbon is stained with the art alchemy Ginger Magic and distress ink. 



I used a Sabor embellishment to base my prima flowers on. I also used tulle with glass glitter and those gold kunze stars on it. I used some of those dicron fibers in between the flowers. 




You can see the TOUCH OF RED behind the flowers!

 Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages.   I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent!   Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar.   Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them.    Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA!     You have made your own solvent for literally pennies.    You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a  HUGE jar on the window sill!       Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
