Of course I had to go there! I've never seen anything like that before in a garage sale. Boxes and boxes of unfinished wood crafts. Containers of paint (used and sealed), ribbons, beads, etc..With the limited time I had (hubby was calling me on my cell asking if I bought what he needed already), I did a quick sweep of the items and zoomed in on a few items. This one, was one of them.. I got it for a quarter. </div><div> </div><div> </div><div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480501927225739762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 342px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYHkRUAJGvIH94xj7QeF9pJKIRleGe2YGGYB9Yc27v-p_4iLYN9-gQFR8RuHETjyoDikWEtN3h2JFx-cNFhjEybq-H2IlJSRt1pu-7FbKNY-FGYN02YLDVpE_rJXEGoSbJRX-exjAEvTQl/s400/DSC04964.JPG" border="0" /></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /><p> </p><p>I painted it first with pink paint then coated with crackling medium. Last step was to topcoat it with white paint for the cracks to show. After that, I was ready to decorate. I have this ballerina ornament for our Christmas tree and she is so dainty. I knew I needed that more for this than for our tree. I used mini-roses from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">prima</span> to decorate the waist part of her skirt then outlined the bottom part of the skirt with <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">stickles</span>.</p><p> </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480501305217899986" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 276px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCAjuD8j-xhGEfkuGPnXyKk8HryD3Q4JJIUIsx1_psRxJ6WBzwsYhJB9fsSKjbgbeTM7WlomJtIxBcXcsBYk_nhyeon3Q9V_cAelqnzA4bxkK6VdEQCSXUTJ1tIr493zg1qvac3HdctJcb/s400/DSC_1851.JPG" border="0" /></p><p> </p><p> </p><p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5480501295207595394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 242px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje28K-ObY8Apo8I_nX_tAKnXdnUWRpfus83jawBoC8dztY-AU2L5YVh3-Uc1LLyb1BMfh5Wq32MAcxzQN4hNyzzccJ6gENXU-86ZQP1yY6dRkRUTXyYqNNHR_62_7JX1UgVpkVzfcQfaTu/s400/DSC_1848.JPG" border="0" /></p><p> </p><p>I felt that it needed more so I decided to have flowers hanging from it.

I have a shelf full of alterable and was bored last night so I browsed that shelf and was immediately drawn to this "lamp" I got for 2 dollars at Salvation Army Thrift Store. Luckily, I didn't forget to take a before photo of it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivxTvfK74ujgRB1Wh6n-h4ukufPW05cqSUWNZjwmjDT3-WzSIsTRZsbYgeXlIAotAz3Icls8AvTw89dYY_HMkdrCpXABIANy48ggTrh4QYBlG20KL_HpNCWzkwirDNd2FXb5CKa0XuZbIg/s1600/DSC_1795.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479348421198150898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 265px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivxTvfK74ujgRB1Wh6n-h4ukufPW05cqSUWNZjwmjDT3-WzSIsTRZsbYgeXlIAotAz3Icls8AvTw89dYY_HMkdrCpXABIANy48ggTrh4QYBlG20KL_HpNCWzkwirDNd2FXb5CKa0XuZbIg/s400/DSC_1795.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />Before I keep on blabbing about the process, here is the finished project...I think it is perfect on that table in our living room. What do u think?<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479348163287189218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 321px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjMkCeqWaZnzDgV76pbBLyTYWpAglakTYGsUTqqpISo1PxeXhSuHJlIjWSTuYGn1jcnc9zPoNvbZrwp7oVey15JSKsM2gaCxBqUkFgQBYQ6VyViJevWqsCpFr3iKgy1Y7Xvzl_tSz3jeZQ/s400/DSC_1805.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br />Now for those who are interested on the process, please keep on reading.<br /><br /><br />I used gold paint dabber and dabbed (that's why it's called paint dabber right? :D ) along the columns to give it a rough look. I tried golden gold acrylic paint and smooch but I didn't like how the gold turned out so I turned to that paint dabber from <span style="color:#990000;">Ranger</span>. Then I used my paint brush to paint the bottom and top parts. I have this acetate (forgot the brand, but the Prima flocked acetate would've been perfect for this) that I used to cover the glass parts. One of the glass opens up so it was easy to use that as a guide on how big I should cut the acetate.<br /><br />I also have this gorgeous trim from Lee and her sister Tita Marissa (they gave me tons! wohooo!) and knew it would be perfect for this project. Of course, my projects wouldn't be complete if I don't use <span style="color:#990000;">Prima flowers </span><span style="color:#000000;">but I was careful not to use too much because I still want the light from the tea light candle to shine through.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5479346150333605282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_4lDZjCyT7XA9vyfDzB6YYfjbsiFMHButLIRJ7hesVx3r05vatkJ_x6yedB_uAn8IaqaAXzj1TkrjqPy6mRGyQp1Q83rn63bdQvm9RsdEzOrImHFqtcnvYHFJb_oZaICkiU8YauCTnd9v/s400/DSC_1806.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br />Opening at the back part.

I managed to finish one simple layout. The intricate cutting took quite a while. I used a combination of x-acto knife and scissors. I wanted a muted look so I refrained from using vibrant colors. I can't remember the last time I used plain cardstocks as my main background but I wanted the focus on the oval frame I cut from a Recollections pp.<br /><br />Of course, the whole page won't be completed without prima flowers.

Not because I didn't want to use them but because I didn't know how. Or maybe, just didn't care enough to find out. Last night, I saw a few cards using prismacolor pencils and I was really surprised. At first, I thought <span style="color:#cc0000;">COPICS</span><span style="color:#000000;"> were used. So I googled and googled and tried to find out the "secret" on the smooth blending ----> stumps and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">gamsol</span> (odorless mineral solution)...Of course, I had to try it. Let me just say that using <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">copics</span> gives you a smoother blend AND save your wrist in a way. Here it is, my first attempt at using <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">prismacolor</span> colored pencils. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFt1bdPQ6P87iUM9Wlo81p9hJ8MABs_aM7T-WZUX6xkQw88epsRKSKMFejCh3r-MV_xyJ0JC2TGCBIcHieSx-4C73ZGEvr28I7-iD8N0gviEZzgfpytt1pPvANoEbE48Nj44uRhGF-RyCD/s1600/picasaedited.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5478423054549198754" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 265px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFt1bdPQ6P87iUM9Wlo81p9hJ8MABs_aM7T-WZUX6xkQw88epsRKSKMFejCh3r-MV_xyJ0JC2TGCBIcHieSx-4C73ZGEvr28I7-iD8N0gviEZzgfpytt1pPvANoEbE48Nj44uRhGF-RyCD/s400/picasaedited.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-CiCVWVg0dO9_Fqm_nBo5e-b9BPU0e4mcnvfhaWbPNZT2AYR5iJHIKpHzaXVqLDI2RDewsNWTVh1WnZjoh5rhKvPtyjhljcP6Mn46JWwBqP_DKdl1vZlcgjx__eIsgViYI_luMAWoQifJ/s1600/picasaedited.jpg"></a> I only used 2 shades of brown here. With <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">copics</span>, I would've used at least 4 shades. For the apples, I used 2 colors, cinnamon red and apple green. You really can't see it in this photo, but the upper part of the image was colored with sky blue <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">prismacolor</span> then blended with OMS. It took me longer to finish this image though but it was <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">ok</span>.

The <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">cardstock</span> is a little reflective and would sometimes look lighter and/or darker depending on the lighting.<br /><br />The title is a rub-on and it gave me muscle cramps AND I was really scared that I would mess it up.

It's nice to just pull a card out of my drawer when needed and not go to the store. So I made a few blank cards which I can personalize depending on the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">occasion</span>.<br /><br /><br />A fan of flowers, ribbons, <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">bling</span>, and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">girly</span> embellishments, I didn't have any idea how to make a boy card. But these stamps from <span style="color:#cc0000;">The Greeting Farm </span><span style="color:#000000;">are so cute that they inspired me just by looking at them.</span><br /><br /><br />Also my first attempt at using the airbrush system from <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">copics</span>. I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">should've masked</span> the edges of the tag by not removing the template I used to cut and emboss the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">cardstock</span>. I used gold metallic brush pen for the helmet, number on the shirt and trims on his clothes. Rest were colored with copic markers..<br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477050754731574642" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjily7zLfp-DWAl_Q6hvq6b6K3T0ojbCXLbkOhMopYZm4Opg4hRxe9nWGuvMBUtxqVczHLUkC9EcdfwuGoxN-JnnZKhgm7sUPP0CQbWhs_8FeI36GV5f03h567mXrC3J9N_c_OJ6yIv9hjd/s400/DSC_1716.JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWaMomZK5xHz-ZOxKEAThpFlbheASlt-WmNxFC1362oAfbLxc1rpClb8btRs5IoaBIFkiQzCfFAzpANlDdODgc_-gn1NIviLYgC1OI6yp9wiwxbZ5DaqSRSPPQUtq6BihMPr5WvPFR3tS3/s1600/DSC_1720.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477052113008049058" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWaMomZK5xHz-ZOxKEAThpFlbheASlt-WmNxFC1362oAfbLxc1rpClb8btRs5IoaBIFkiQzCfFAzpANlDdODgc_-gn1NIviLYgC1OI6yp9wiwxbZ5DaqSRSPPQUtq6BihMPr5WvPFR3tS3/s400/DSC_1720.JPG" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><div></div><div></div><br /><div>Next are the "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">girly</span>" cards..I am so <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_8">in love</span> with the Twinkle Tots collection from the same company.
