Rita Barakat and Emerald Creek Blog Hop!

I am so excited for the NEW release of the Rita Barakat Embossing Powder line by Emerald Creek! I got to play with two of the new colors -- Dragon's Egg and Mermaid Fin. Dragon's Egg is a gorgeous purple and Mermaid Fin is a sparkly glitter blue. The first project I created with it is this:

 I had so much fun with making that tag that I decided to create another:

 I first gathered my material: a tag and these three paints.

 Using my fingers I applied the acrylic paint to the tag.

 Using the Zen Cloud Art Foamie stamp I stamped and embossed the image with Dragon' Egg.

I applied the color shield and  I inked the edges and embossed them twice with Mermaid Fin to create a gorgeous thick border.

 Using foam dots I adhered the mermaid to the tag.

 Finally I added some glitter glue and clear glaze to make her shine.

Make sure you hop on through to see other amazing projects from the design team and leave a comment on each blog to be entered in a chance to win a set of embossing powder! Winner will be announced on Mixed Media via Rita Barakat's FB page September 3!

Color Burst Layouts!

I created two layouts in which I used Colorburst as the background! I may never buy pattern paper again! Here is the first one:

 For this layout I used a red and yellow Colorburst. I drenched it in water because I really wanted it to run. I used a heat gun to push the color around and was quite pleased with how it turned out. 

 Am I the only one that finds teenage birthdays (or just birthdays in general) challenging? I love the little clay resin piece from Lisa Kettell Designs ! It is the perfect finishing touch to the layout.

I then created this layout using Tim Holtz Distress crayons in a red a blue color and layering Colorburst on top of it. I colored half the side where the picture is red and the other half blue. I rubbed it out a little with my damp finger. I added Colorburst over the color they matched and extended it out just a little with my sprinkling. I misted it heavier  closest to the spot the picture was going to go and lighter farther away. I did not use a heat gun because I did  not want to push the color around. I let it dry and added Nuvo drops from Tonic.

 I die cut stars from Rinea Foiled Paper and added them to the bottom corner of the page.

Thanks for stopping by!
