New Jewelry Designs

Hello Lovelies. 

Here are some new jewelry designs that I have been working on. I am delighted to be back in the jewelry saddle again. 

I am loving the look of mixing metals. Gold, sterling, brass and even raw steel. 

Enjoy.

FototBella.com and My Mind's Eye Chocolate Box.

Hello Creatives...

Here is a great Valentine's Day gift.
Heart Shaped Chocolate box filled with Ghiradelli Sweets. I used My Mind's Eye-Lost and Found-Heirloom- I want it all bundle from FotoBella.com.  The Silhouette Cameo download that I used for this 3D heart shaped box is found here.

This bundle comes with so many great items. I love the pockets and the a whole lot of journal cards. Enamel Dots are always a fav of mine. Yet the very best in this bundle is all the letter stickers. Sheet after sheet. These can be used on so many projects. Bonus.

Enjoy-!

Happy Holiday's from Artistcellar.com

Hello Creatives-

Happy Holiday's to you. I Hope this finds you all very well.

I am loving the new TEXTures stencils... Oh My.

I used gel gloss medium for the background and once dry I added Koi water colors to the top. I also Love everything Stampotique, a friend of mine France Papillon designed this stamp "Cityscape" that is out of this world. Wishing you much love and kindness this Season.

Please, Dwell on your Dreams.

Prima Gift Wrapping....

Hello Everyone-

I am finishing up some last minute gifts for some friends. I love using Prima Flowers for a FAST embellishment for gifts. I love to rip the flowers apart and mix them with others to create a unique creation. Inside the boxes are kiln cast glass pendants that I create with scrap glass.

Hope you are further ahead than I am.

Best-
Sarinda

Happy Holidays to you-!!

Hope this finds you all very well. 

Wishing you much love and kindness this Season.

Artistcellar Post

Happy Holidays Lovelies....

Sarinda here with a tutorial using the new TEXTures stencils. I made a tag that could be used as an ornament, gift packaging or on a bottle of wine. I love the versatility of using tags this time time of year.

The Artistcellar Design Team will also be giving away a set of stencils. Each day you will have a chance to leave a comment on that designers post for a chance to win. More information below the tutorial. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Let's Get Started.

Here is what you will need:

• Artistcellar TEXTures 2 stencils "GERA"
• Tag
• Ephemera Book Paper
• Matte Medium
• Gesso
• Modeling Paste
• Acrylic Paint: White, Iridescent Pearl, Yellow, Aqua
• Palette Knife
• Sponge Brush
• Water in a spray bottle
• Embellishments: Dangling Jewels, Wood Snowflake, Ribbon, Metal Flower, Angel
• Stapler
• Jump rings
• Hole punch
• Scissors

Step 1: Adhere the Ephemera with Matte Gel Medium and sponge brush.

Step 2: Light coat of gesso.

Step 3: Lay stencil on top of tag and apply Modeling Paste with palette knife. Let dry completely.

Step 4:  Apply another coat of gesso to the top and dry.

Step 5: Apply a bit of acrylic paint to the tag and spray with water. Let the paint bleed into the cracks and heat set or dry before adding another color. This helps the to stay true and not mix with other colors.

Add Yellow. Let Dry.

Add darker yellow. Let Dry.

Add darker Aqua to one side of tag and let drip horizontally. Let Dry.

 

Step 6: Paint angel with aqua paint let dry. Then apply Pearl White Paint with finger.

 

Step 7: Paint the snowflake and flower with white acrylic paint. As it drys a bit wipe off a little and let dry completely.

Step 8: Punch holes into the bottom of the tag add the crystals with the jump ring.

 

Step 9: Layer the Snowflake, Flower and Angel. Then hot glue these together onto the lower left part of the tag.

Step 10: Add ribbon to the top of the tag and staple at the top. Add other embellishments that you would like. Crystals to the snowflake, a sentiment and so on.

ENJOY-!

 

Dwell on your dreams.
