Tutorial: Altered Egg Carton 'Time'... with Visible Image

Hello everyone and welcome back! If you're following my blog for a while you know this is not the first egg carton I've altered over the years, I have a soft spot for them and these can become useful containers for small trinkets as watch parts or buttons. This time I was inspired by a gorgeous stamp set by Visible Image 'Somewhere in Time'. I used my favourite colours and I am pretty happy with the result.
Scroll to the end of this post for the step by step:

Cover with white gesso the egg carton:

Stamp the main image on cardstock and sentiments on tissue paper using the Visible Image stamp 'Somewhere in Time'

Spray acrylic paint and add a bit of crystal pigments such as Pixie and Infusions

Spread black embossing paste throug the VI stencil ' Time Tunnel'

Adhere the stamped images with glue and the tissue paper brushing some gel medium under and on top of it.

And today I show you the inside of the altered book of this post : a under the sea scenery crowded with a bunch of lovely and colourful seahorses: in the video tutorial I show how to use embossing powder, book pages and your Gelli plate, along with a bit of texture paste.

To alter this book I used the stencil 'Seahorse Love' and the 'Kraft Cuties' both available in my Etsy shop

Well, I am still obsessed with seahorses, can't help! And this time I created a colourful home for a bunch of them: an old book, a happy and colourful place where to swim and meet. In this post I show you the cover and video tutorial, in the next post the inside of this book.

This book cover was meant to be super steampunk, with cogs, in brown, with a rusty look, but well, it didn't work and after a couple of days I started again. I show in the video the whole process, it is ok sometime to change idea and accept that an artwork doesn't suit you. Gesso fixes everything!

Video Tutorial:Dripping RainbowBackground with Visible Image

Hello everyone, today is all about rainbows! I wanted to ink the Visible Image stamp Creative Chaos, and it inspired me a colourful background and a unusual umbrella. And since I made even a video tutorial, with the second background I created a lovely vase with flowers.

Ben ritrovate a tutte, oggi il post è tutto un arcobaleno! Adoro questo bellissimo timbro della Visible Image Creative Chaos e non vedevo l'ora di usarlo: mi ha ispirato un arcobaleno, uno strano ombrello ed un vaso di fiori. Qui il video, facilissimo, per creare lo sfondo:

VideoTutorial: Gel printing on Faux Leather and Cute Elephant key ring

Due to the 'Matrioska LOve' stencil's success I designed two more cute family stencils, and I have to say these are really adorable! Next post I will show you the last one (last, well, not so sure :-))

Let me introduce you 'Elephant LOve':

Le matrioske sono andate benissimo, e quindi, ispiratissima, ho aggiunto altri due stencil alle Famiglie Felici, oggi vi presento 'Elephant LOve':

Can you gel print on faux-leather? You can! What about these lovely keyrings?

Si può gellare sull'alcantara? Ma certo che si!
