 For todays project the materials I used are:
Wooden Plaque
Sakura Crystal Lacquer
Terri Sproul Shimmer Mixers
White Gesso
Image of choice -
 I colored my image with Copic Markers
Stencils (MS and homemade ones)
Molding Paste
Teflon Craft Sheet
Painters Tape
Embellishments
Background Stamp
StazOn Ink/Ranger Distress Inks/tool
Spellbinders Die/Big Shot
                                                
First thing I did was color my image with my Copic Markers.

 

Then I prepped my wood plaque with white gesso and let dry.
 I stamped my background stamp with StazOn Ink
so it wouldn't smear or run.
 

 

 

Next I wanted to cut out my image with Spellbinders die

but as you can see my image is too big for the die..

 

 

 

So, I traced around my image with the die where

I wanted the die to cut.

 

 

Then I cut (with scissors)  the part of the image that was sticking

out of the traced lines.  I lifted my image over the die

so as to only cut around my image without cutting off the bottom

when I ran it through my Big Shot

 

After it was cut with my spellbinder die I used

Ranger Distress Ink /w Distress Tool to color the edges of my image.
 

I prepared a mixture of Crystal Lacquer and Terri Sproul

Shimmer Mixers making my Lacquer translucent enough to
see my background image on my plaque.
Then I set it aside for a moment while I added some texture.

 

I decided to add some texture with Molding Paste and MS Stencils.

Here I even added some Shimmer Mixers to the Molding Paste.

 

Then I added texture with my

homemade stencil (made from packaging)

 

After it was completely dry I covered the entire

plaque with my colored Crystal Lacquer. (prepared earlier)
making sure I got into all the crevasses.  

 

 

With my left over Lacquer I added more

Terri Sproul mixers to make a deeper blue

and dripped the Lacquer onto my craft sheet

and let them dry.

 

While that was drying I coated my image with

Clear 3D Crystal Lacquer.

I taped down my image on the edges to help prevent curling.

 

After It was dry I put it all together,

using my drips as embellishments (to resemble air bubbles) 

I used Crystal Lacquer to glue my pieces down.

 

Here she is on my wall

Vintage Altered Milk Tin

 

Hi! Today I am going to show you how
I altered my milk tin. The list of supplies I used are:

Sakura Hobby Craft Milk Tins
Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer

Terri Sproul Shimmer Mixers

Adirondack Metallics Paint Dauber Gold

Vintage Graphics Printed from Laser Printer

Mod Podge

White Gesso

Lace/Trim

Embellishments

 

 

From now until the end of May you can get 20% off
your entire order with the code" Sakura05"

 

 

First I painted my tin with white gesso.

 Then I printed my Vintage Pictures Inverted

so when I Mod Podge my picture face down it would be a mirror image.

 

 

Next I Took a foam applicator and applied them to my milk tin

 

Then I placed my image face down onto my tin.

I did not mod podge after application as I did not

want a resist from the mod podge when I colored the tin.

 

When completely dry I soaked down the paper

with water and rubbed off the paper, creating a

transferred image with only ink remaining on my tin.

 

 

And as you can see my inverted picture is now facing the right way.

As I keep rubbing off the wet paper my image becomes clear.

 

 



I did the same method to my second image.

 

I mixed up some shimmer mixers from

Terri Sproul with water and binder powder.

Then I painted and drizzled down my tin and added some

gold paint rubbed in with my fingers until I was happy.

Then I took a rag and cleaned off my image

and cleaned the can a bit by rubbing it with a cloth.

 

 

Next I started to place my lace and embellishments.

 I used 3D Crystal Lacquer as well as hot glue. 

 

 

 

Here I made a flower embellishment with a piece of

 lace gathered and I used 3D Crystal Lacquer to adhere it with a pearl center.

 

 

 And the final photo..

I started with Crystal Lacquer on my craft mat and mixed in some Terri Sproul Mixers



 

 

Mixed them together slightly and left to dry overnight. 

 

 

Once completely dry I cut into small pieces and

placed them into my round pendant bezel.

I filled my bezel with 3D Crystal Lacquer to cover all pieces.

I let this dry over night.

 

I took two pieces of hardened Crystal Lacquer and

made the bottom of the earrings by piercing a
hole into the lacquer with a piercing tool.

 

 

Then I layered the colored lacquer piece with a

metal gear and attached with a finding.

 

 

I put my glass beads in order and at the end of the

dangle I placed my gear and color lacquer.

 

Then, I colored all silver metal with my black Copic marker.

 

including the back of the bezel..

 

 

I added a black ball chain that I also colored with my

Copic Marker to complete the necklace and earing set.

 

 

 

I stuffed the envelope with the chain from the necklace.

I poured some 3D Crystal Lacquer onto my craft sheet.

 

Next I mixed some Terri Sproul Mixers into the lacquer.

 

 

 

I swirled the colors together slightly and let dry.

 

Once completely dry I cut it into pieces

 

 

I ended up doing this process twice as I didn't have enough.

I also cut this into pieces when dried.

 

I  prepared a tag and started to glue my pieces down with 3D Crystal lacquer.

 

 

I covered the majority of the tag and filled in the empty spots as much as possible.

 

 

I wanted some complementary paper to bring out the colors.

 

I made holes in the tags and threaded through some hand made glass dangly charms.

 

I also cut a piece of the hardened lacquer into a wing for my charm.

 

 

I glued this on with 3D Crystal Lacquer.

I added some hand made flowers.

 I covered the yellow flower in 3D Crystal lacquer.

 

I was pleased with my results.

Here are the final photos..
