To make this page, I put Prima Platinum crackle paste on watercolor paper with a stencil and a small spatula.

 I taped on a layer of watercolor paper underneath the photo to help it to lie flat. I added a layer of corrugated cardboard and a watercolor paper mat.  I added another layer of cardboard and a bottom                                                                            layer of corrugated.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     
I arranged the Beautiful Board,and other items around the page. I brushed on Shimmerz Paints, and glued on more beads,using Glossy Accents. Anytime I glued items on I sprinkled on Gawdie Girl Diamond Shard German Glitter Glass on top of the glue. I rubbed on gold,blue, and pearl mica powder in different areas.
                                       





To add visual interest I added micro beads,seed beads, glass glitter, crystals,glass beads,tulle, iridescent wrapping paper,Reneabouquets metal items,and bling from my stash.I used glossy accents and double sided foam tape to adhere items to the page.














Thank you so much for looking, and have a great week!

"Lost In The Darkness" Vignette

“Lost In The Darkness” Vignette






The base of this project is a Tim Holtz vignette box which is covered inside and out with Halloween paper.  The front piece is a Tim Holtz arched window that fit perfectly over the front of the box.  Inside the box are two metal candlesticks with  purple beads, Reneabouquets Printed Beautiful Board Halloween Cat - Twilight Chipboard, a metal key, a bottle with some Plum Shard German Glitter Glass and a spooky sticker.  In the front of the window is a metal gate with some roses and a butterfly.


On the outside of the window Printed Beautiful Board Large Tessie B Darling Set sprinkled with Gawdie Girl German Glitter Glass watches over the Printed Beautiful Board Halloween Cauldron Chipboard which was rubbed with Fine Black Magic German Glitter Glass and an acetate flame rubbed with some Fine Red German Glitter Glass.  A scary ghost is flying from the pot.  


A cluster of mulberry flowers is at the top of the window with a Tiny Treasures Tranquil Glitter Glass Premium Paper Butterfly topping the cluster.  A Tim Holtz sign "Lost In The Darkness" sits at the top of the box with some goblets on either side.


The top of the box has two metal embellishments as well as a knob - both from Tim Holtz.


And finally, some wooden feet were added to the bottom of the box.

Time for Christmas by Design Team Artist Diane McClosky


I know it's still officially the fall season but anyone who knows me well knows that I am Christmas crazy and love Christmas crafts!  I begin decorating my home on November 1!

My first make of the season is an antique spool that I picked up from a shop years ago decorated with the beautiful products from Reneabouquets.


The first step was to wrap the spool.  I chose the Christmas Spectacular Collection from 49 and Market.  I also cut out a circle using my Big Shot to fit perfectly on top of the spool.  I then adhered the beautiful black tear drop lace that I cut and added a large portion around the bottom of the spool and a smaller portion around the top.  Next step was to emboss the snowflake and the quill pattern in white and sprinkle with diamond glitter glass.  The quill pattern gives the illusion of the wind blowing and also serves as a backdrop for the victorian lady from Christmas in Paris.  Around the main image, I created a cluster of flowers using the mini white and red paper roses as well as greens and red seed beads. To top it all off, I added Snowtex to the flowers along with pearl microbeads and a few clear glass beads.



On the bottom of the spool, I added another flower cluster with a small poinsettia in the center sprinkled with gold microbeads.  This is also surrounded by greens, red seed beads, miniature pine cones and flatback pearls.  I  added a small white poinsettia that was actually an old earring that my mom had in her jewelry box for years.  

  As we begin the holiday season, let us all remember to make time for our family and friends.  The time spent with them are the moments that truly count.  

Until next time - "Let your art take you where your heart wants to go." - Diane

"Wicked" Altered Birdhouse/Box

“Wicked” Altered Birdhouse/Box





The base of this project is a wooden birdhouse/box that I purchased at the Dollar Tree.  I have had a lot of fun using these wooden pieces as the base of my projects.  This one features Reneabouquets Printed Beautiful Board Halloween Witch Brew Ella on the front of the box.  She is busy stirring up trouble in her cauldron covered with Fine Black Magic German Glitter Glass where a spooky ghost is standing by!  The back of the birdhouse was covered in some Graphic 45  paper and features Beautiful Words Wicked Laser Cut Chipboard.  A sticker of a moon and witch at the top adds scariness to the scene.  The box is trimmed with Reneabouquets Trim - Starry Night Lace and filled with mulberry flowers and a Beautiful Board spider with a lavender half pearl body.  A Beautiful Board Cobweb painted black is at the peak of the roof and topped with a metal embellishment.  The sides of the roof were covered in moss and a bit of cheesecloth.  A tiny Treasures Pumpkin Spice Premium Paper Glass Butterfly is on one side of the roof, and a Tiny Treasures Savory Spice Premium Paper Glitter Glass Butterfly is on the other.  Finally, some wooden feet were added to the bottom of the birdhouse/box.
