As most of you know this will be my last post as a DT Design Member for Lone Wolf Designs. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have loved every moment of my time with the great group of designers that make up the team. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now on to the post!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know a lot of you will say Valentines? Really already? Well... As you know its never too early for us crafters an I just had to show you this new Cluster Hearts stencil by Heidi Swapp.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I will also be using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist in this project. So lets get inky!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
I first placed my stencil over some white rose printed scrapbook paper and misted with Viva Pink.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ey-rPxEylnPjC-O4o6EdOzadgv_TBvxDypTIHJ9V84ExsE-gAgkAZAp11nBFa84-pKVD4_qYfvr7NODcX1MvlPQ49g8uRulZrVFIZro0q1KTAnJDwbUUmQ4DP6DAtO-rWLaSY_dHdMWo/s1600/DSCN2281.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6ey-rPxEylnPjC-O4o6EdOzadgv_TBvxDypTIHJ9V84ExsE-gAgkAZAp11nBFa84-pKVD4_qYfvr7NODcX1MvlPQ49g8uRulZrVFIZro0q1KTAnJDwbUUmQ4DP6DAtO-rWLaSY_dHdMWo/s400/DSCN2281.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now this is where the cool part comes in. Before I lifted the stencil I placed another piece of scrapbook paper face down over the stencil and used my brayer to pick up all the ink that's on the surface of the stencil. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0YLstaEfzGr4ExHzCk3OOoY23-tumDgS42v0acdDIqSrr27Rg3E3fbD3I6yHi6xFyxIni2OmQ2nBMjxjq4rfnlG9rbHkpwVzp9gjHyu5Mfo_IyIR2fHXY1O_DEnowCUWnxceAyKYFJ1vK/s1600/DSCN2283.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0YLstaEfzGr4ExHzCk3OOoY23-tumDgS42v0acdDIqSrr27Rg3E3fbD3I6yHi6xFyxIni2OmQ2nBMjxjq4rfnlG9rbHkpwVzp9gjHyu5Mfo_IyIR2fHXY1O_DEnowCUWnxceAyKYFJ1vK/s400/DSCN2283.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
And this is what you get. A positive and a negative image of your stencil.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDmRssqrXGlmRKTTtYQW5j4SZEmqgzNza_2-ZLPFYFDpjOLNQJ7Tr9DfEGUY6t59Xy5FMASRbkJPdCwlitXWCDuCpYZ6pIq39sSmXRqS3-QBBJ_llFNnTsj8qUFnFFFEj7vZqkwZmCrtrh/s1600/DSCN2284.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDmRssqrXGlmRKTTtYQW5j4SZEmqgzNza_2-ZLPFYFDpjOLNQJ7Tr9DfEGUY6t59Xy5FMASRbkJPdCwlitXWCDuCpYZ6pIq39sSmXRqS3-QBBJ_llFNnTsj8qUFnFFFEj7vZqkwZmCrtrh/s400/DSCN2284.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well you could stop there but the fun part is here. Reposition your stencil slightly off an mist with another spray. I used Electric Blue. Again place your second paper on top and use your brayer to pick up the color. Stop there? Oh no, Reposition a third time and spray with Lemon Zest.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLhWg9wAsSdInxuZy0aeaCvFcnquj_D9Vc6ai3liWHr3h8id6txz3-BMe8AKbdIYWhyvBN-vGrIUoCnf3ZcZzBCF-KyKpZTN6KxjbS1s4ShMYdIk8KRaWt32T-XG0SEYK3grtk7XnKOB7B/s1600/DSCN2298.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLhWg9wAsSdInxuZy0aeaCvFcnquj_D9Vc6ai3liWHr3h8id6txz3-BMe8AKbdIYWhyvBN-vGrIUoCnf3ZcZzBCF-KyKpZTN6KxjbS1s4ShMYdIk8KRaWt32T-XG0SEYK3grtk7XnKOB7B/s400/DSCN2298.jpg" width="300" /></a></div>

<div align="center">
This is after the Electric Blue mist.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And this is after the Lemon Zest. You can see this causes a cool 3D effect. Don worry about not getting the paper lined up exactly each time, that's what gives the great effect that the colors are just slightly off kilter of each other.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDVac9ty1kLzR9HAUI6gu0oh2yi6eBsqfFm0CCiv1mSt2V5bJxjNaYe48W9GHsCQ1lfHida8ynyztsVesIcZzyANJVPXLmN2dnxd92wr7Y2GZME0KNy4YU9UbcTSNqUXvW32JUAhFH69oZ/s1600/DSCN2288.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDVac9ty1kLzR9HAUI6gu0oh2yi6eBsqfFm0CCiv1mSt2V5bJxjNaYe48W9GHsCQ1lfHida8ynyztsVesIcZzyANJVPXLmN2dnxd92wr7Y2GZME0KNy4YU9UbcTSNqUXvW32JUAhFH69oZ/s400/DSCN2288.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a close up after the 3 sprays. I just love the effect you get. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now what to do with these cool papers?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well its that time again, my turn up for the Design Team Showcase for Lone Wolf Designs.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This time I want to showcase Alterations Dies designed by Tim Holtz for Sizzix.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The dies I'm using for this showcase are the Pumpkin Jack mover and shaper, the strip die Tattered Banners and the strip die Autumn Gatherings. I know you may be thinking I've seen these used before but hopefully I can show you something that you may have not tried.</div>

Now here is the trick part. We are creating a card in the Pumpkin shape. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In order to do this you need to take an A2 card and line the seam side just shy of the edge of the die cut so the card keeps its seam so when cutting you are not creating separate two pieces.</div>

As you can see below this technique can be achieved from many of the larger Bigz Dies. After cutting your cards, just cut whole pieces from chip board, card stock or grunge board to cover the fronts and decorate as desired.</div>

I want to show you one of my favorite ways to use Distress Paint wrinkle free distress.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First pick a few colors and apply them to your Ranger Non stick craft sheet.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Next take a Manila tag and swipe it though all the paint. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now here is where the fun begins. Once you have your tag covered in paint, spritz the tag with just some plain ol' water. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When you remove the stencil you will see the "Ghost" image of the stencil. This is a great way to add depth to all your projects. You can spray and repeat this technique several times to get multiple layers of depth if you like.</div>

The front page has a tag I created using tissue paper, tissue tape and gel medium. I started by covering the tag with bits of tissue tape. I then stamped onto tissue paper and applied it with gel medium.</div>

I will treasure it forever.... Thank you so much for making it just over the top special for me.</div>

Exciting News Everyone, I was chosen to be one of the New Design Team Members for </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.lonewolfdesignsllc.com/p/lwd-design-team.html">Lone Wolf Designs.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you have never heard of Lone Wolf Designs its owned by Kris Whittaker, who has a wonderful online shop where you can save up to 25% off of some of today's wonderful art supplies. <br />
You can visit her online store <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/231093020360419/">here.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So as a design team member its my week to share some art. <br />
Being one of the owners of the <a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AllThingsTim/">All Things Tim Yahoo Group</a> I found it only fitting for my first outing as a DT member to feature Tim Holtz.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was pleased to be able to show off art that I created for an online round robin I am currently playing in with several other players. <br />
This members theme was Time for Love. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As you can see I used the Tim Holtz Pocket watch die, his On the Edge Steam punk die along with other embellishments from his Ideology line.<br />
I also included a pair of Train Tickets from 7 Gypsies that I inked and distressed.<br />
<br />
To create the watch I cut one layer of grunge board without the Mover and Shaper sized circle for the back and cut several layers with the largest circle in place in order to get the opening and give the piece the depth I was after. <br />
Since the Steam punk gears are all on one piece I cut them apart and painted each one a different color.<br />
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMi5E23iJy6DX512DKWcZBPcl1PIaL1iQpWhtTy6D0_HrCDmCgbEJJK8pdMVhvi2JftmmRlLKyALrczAL2Fxjn4al8745aV-Sg5PGM0VkVy9raUlltz04gRNkoCDje8DBrYjycT3niem1f/s1600/DSCN1333.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMi5E23iJy6DX512DKWcZBPcl1PIaL1iQpWhtTy6D0_HrCDmCgbEJJK8pdMVhvi2JftmmRlLKyALrczAL2Fxjn4al8745aV-Sg5PGM0VkVy9raUlltz04gRNkoCDje8DBrYjycT3niem1f/s640/DSCN1333.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I stacked and glued the pieces together I inserted one piece of the gears between the different layers so they would be all on a different levels and give the piece some real depth. I also cut a solid watch from the grunge board packaging to use as a faux crystal on the watch which I insert before the final top layer.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
On the edge of the page I also use Tim Holtz Tissue tape </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and his new Distress Paint in Barn Door Red.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is a close up of the watch gears which were also painted with Rangers Adirondak Acrylic Paint Dabbers. You can see the different layers of grunge I used to create the watch case itself. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
There is also a Grunge board heart in the mix.</div>

<br />
<div align="center">
On the back of the page I used Tim's Heart Wings Die cut from Grunge board that has also been covered in Tissue tape. I like covering the grunge board with the tape first before cutting the wings so you get an already trimmed piece ready to go. <br />
The crown and large heart I left plain and painted with the dabbers.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The current journal page I completed was for my online friend Eileen. She picked "faces" as the them for her journal. I thought about this one for some time. I wanted to make a page that would make her smile and think happy thoughts. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Yeah, I know it looks like a kaleidoscope, but its just my latest creations from a swap I'm playing in. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Every player got the same image and you were to create 6 -5x7 cards using the same image.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Still wanting mine to all be one of a kind I decided to make each one a different color.</span></div>

<div align="center">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here are all of my creations. I pixelated the image just slightly and colored each one with Distress inks through a stencil to really give them a "pop art" look.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As most of you know Im in an online Journal Round Robin. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The current one I have is for Carol Sweeney. She has chosen Inspriational Quotes for her theme and this is the page I created for her.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Since the quote I picked has wings I thought this image was most appropriate.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMXG3ds7DLiZiLKxozfqS6ChOiui2pd4TktZVByFe8tIq49JeDA8TyPGTI7derERUHBwH8Fcro_FWj1m_foj1SB3XucsYTx-n_7Lq2gR88xjJvr7-9QJxjUEZLwr6Qy1kKlB3hemsqQw1/s1600/DSCN1304.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjMXG3ds7DLiZiLKxozfqS6ChOiui2pd4TktZVByFe8tIq49JeDA8TyPGTI7derERUHBwH8Fcro_FWj1m_foj1SB3XucsYTx-n_7Lq2gR88xjJvr7-9QJxjUEZLwr6Qy1kKlB3hemsqQw1/s400/DSCN1304.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the back of the page where I created a tag that will fit over where the book will be bound.</div>

Here is a close up of the tag I covered using a napkin collage technique. You basically decoupage the napkin to the piece and then I used iridescent watercolor to hand paint in all the details.<br />
I just love doing this for it transforms your piece to look like actual canvas. <br />
The cut out pieces are by K and Company.</div>

OK, so I kept hearing about Geli plates and wasn't quite sure what they were all about. Well of course if you Google anything you can find out more than you ever knew existed about something. Well that being said I learned about Gelli Plate Art. Well.. It appears that there is currently only one manufacturer and it was more that I wanted to spend without knowing if I would like this type of art so.... I did what most guys like to do, I found a do it yourself substitute. There are several on YouTube with very clear step by step instructions. Below is my journey.</div>

This is my Gelli plate still in the tray. Plastic wrap on top and bottom. The layer on the bottom made it easier to remove from the tray. The layer on the top kept it from drying out in the fridge for its made from real gelatin.</div>

How about with an Umbrella man die cut as a stencil? As you can see I quickly became very addicted. These are just a few of the tags I created. I really like this a lot and will be playing again. I will most likely end up buying a gelli plate but until then I love my homemade one. If you haven't tried it, do. I'm sure you will come up with some great creations too!</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Over at Kindred Souls we are having a round robin journal swap where you make a journal, create your covers and a page then send it to the next player in line to create a page, and so forth and so forth until your book is finished. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then the player that completes your last page sends it back to you.</span></div>

This week over at <a href="http://simonsaysstampandshow.blogspot.com/">Simon Says Stamp and Show</a>, the challenge was</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anything Goes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I decided to use my tags that were created for the Halloween Chaos Swap on</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AllThingsTim/messages">The All Things Tim Yahoo Group</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each player was to make 12 tags and get a incredible collaborative piece back from the wonderful swap hostess Stacy Cook.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below are the tags I created.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Each tag is made using almost <a href="http://timholtz.com/">Tim Holtz </a>products exclusively with the exception of the poison bottle stamp which is from Graphic 45.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I embossed, sprayed and inked all my tags. Covered the grunge board skulls with Rock Candy and used Hobgoblin tissue tape across the bottoms.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
After stamping out the bottles I painted them with Distress Ink markers.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Using Tim's new Mini Blueprint stamp set I stamped spiderwebs on vellum for a finishing touch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I absolutely cant wait to see the finished piece from Stacy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

OK, So I know you are saying what does Sea Shells have to do with an Altered Cigar box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well my partner on this exchange said they liked everything to do with the beach so since I can't take them to to beach I am bringing the beach to them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This is the top of the cigar box.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Sea shells arranged in the center of the lid created a focal point. I covered the whole box in decorative paper and tissue tape then ran a piece of contrasting ribbon around the outside.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As you can see I also included round wooden finials on top and barrel shaped ones on the bottom to mimic the look of an old boardwalk from times gone by.This is the view from the back.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Notice the light house </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And this is the inside. I told you I was bringing the beach to them. Blue Sky and warm sand adorn the inside of the box. I also included some loose shells just for fun. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The lid is hinged with chain since I used real shells on the top to stop the lid from flipping the box over since the shells are so heavy.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And of course I had to a tag and some vintage beach photos for the new owner to play with. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I hope they enjoy it as much as I did making it. This was my first altered cigar box, but somehow I don't think it will be my last.</div>
