"Altered Wooden Shapes" CTMH Technique Blog Hop

 Welcome to our Technique Blog Hop!  

This month there are about 11 of us highlighting the “Altered Wooden Shapes” Technique!  This blog hop is a great big circle so you can start wherever you want and continue through to see all the fabulous artwork incorporating this technique.  

If you get lost along the way Melissa has a complete list of the hop participants.

If you are coming from Katy's Blog, you are on the right track! 

I created this cute card using a few different techniques to alter the wooden hearts.

The first technique I did was ink the medium heart with Peeled Paint distress oxide ink, I just rubbed it across the ink pad.  

The second technique was to ink the small heart using the ink blending tool and Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink, then using the Peeled Paint ink I stamped a floral image on the heart which you can see faintly.

Then I backed the open heart with a piece of cardstock and filled it with liquid glass and white beads.  After it was dry I trimmed it from the cardstock and brushed the top of the heart with my Black shimmer brush.  There are a few areas that are still brown as those spots had a little liquid glass on them and it acted as a resist to the shimmer brush.

The stamping was all done using the March Stamp of the Month - Winged Masterpiece and Intense Black ink.  The colouring was done with the Coral, Green Turquoise, Light Yellow and the Green Citrine Metallic Marker.

It is the Cardstock Carnival this month so I wanted to feature some of our beautiful 2-toned cardstock.  I used Sage, Peach and Mint, this colour combo I found in the Love of Color Vol 1 book.

Thanks for stopping by! Please continue onto Tamara's Blog where you will find some additional artwork highlighting this technique!  Be sure to leave a comment and let me know what you thought of my variation and happy hopping!

New Workshops and Online Classes

Hi Everyone,

Sorry, I been missing in action on my blog for the past 3 years. A lot of things have changed in my life in the past few years.  I moved up to Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.  I am still working on unpacking some stuff and getting it organized.  I also started working full time in a school the spring after moving here.  Now, due to health stuff going on I am not working and have more time to spend being creative again.  So, I will be hopefully bringing you lots of inspiration.

I am still an Independent Consultant with Close to My Heart.  I am starting to create my own workshops & guides as well as offering online classes/workshops on my Facebook page.

The 1st online class I am offering is on Oct. 22nd at 7:30 pm MST.  It is making cards with the Every Little Thing Cardmaking Workshop Kit.  This kit makes 4 different cards and 4 of each design.  I am also going to design a few extra using the scraps from the kit as well.  Check out the event page here and order your supplies so that you can play along.  A complete list of supplies is on the event page.  I hope you can join me as I learnt so much making these and tried techniques that I had never done before.  

Makes 4 of each of these designs.

Kit includes an exclusive stamp and thin cut.  This is my favorite card kit that Close to My Heart has ever put out.

I just created an 18 page workshop using the Every Little Thing line.  I have created a PDF cutting & instruction guide for the workshop.  You can get the guide with a $30 order on my website.  Once you place an order I will email it to you.  

I am also offering a Pre-cut kit option for $120 plus shipping if you are not local to me.  That works out to $13.33 for 2 pages.  What a great deal.   Orders for Pre-cut kits due by October 20, 2019 with payment.  EMT please to scrappinkimberly@gmail.com
