Boozybear Special - Part VII

Hi, servus and welcome to part VII of our boozybear sponsor special feature!

We thought it was about time to give Glenda - the designer and owner of the boozybear etsy shop  - and her fab steampunk chipboard pieces the attention they deserve and we will be doing so by showing steampunk/industrial style projects done by my wonderful DT - each using the same boozybear parts but in totally different projects and ways of using them so you can see how versatile these are and maybe also grab a little inspiration here and there for your own projects.

So throughout the next months you will find extra project posts over here - each done by one of my talented DT ladies and I am so happy to have the opportunity to not only show Glenda's amazing chipboard designs but also let my DT each have the stage to herself. (to make it easier for you to compare the projects I will add links to the previously posted boozybear projects to every new project post.) I find the idea thrilling to see how differently the same chipboard pieces can be approached. I hope you do too. ;)

Boozybear Special I
Boozybear Special II
Boozybear Special III
Boozybear Special IV
Boozybear Special V
Boozybear Special VI

Today it's time for Dee to share her final make as a member on our design team.  And once again she has outdone herself! We will miss her and her amazing art and we wish her all the best for her future creative endeavours!

Hi everyone I hope you are well I have my piece using the lovely shapes that we 

were given from Boozy Bear I hope you enjoy reading how I did it as much 

as I did making the tags.

This is a photo of the shapes that were sent to me and the other members of the DT 

we were all asked to make a piece and look at all the different results.

I also used a couple of other Boozy bear pieces that I had in my stash,

they were the picture frame and i cut up a couple of the pieces 

to fit in with what i was trying to achieve.

 So above I cut the hands off with the flourishes as you will see further on.

I started with the wings i put black modelling paste through a stencil 

then used a texture comb and ran it up and down the

 wings so it gave them ridges.

I triple embossed the piece that I had cut the hands off with chunky embossing powders from Stampendous.

While still hot I pushed a cog stamp from stampendous

into the hot powder. Once cool I used Deco Art patina 

antiquing cream and left to dry. 

I prepared all three tags by using the following process.

Deco Arts Media black modelling paste was put through 

a verity of stencils. Different stencils were used on

each tag.

Once the modelling paste was dry I used black gesso followed by black 

media fluid Acrylic as it gives a different surface to the gesso.

This was followed by white then patina antiquing cream.

I embossed the clock and sprinkled some teal over to give it a patina effect. 

 Below you can see I cut the small clock off a bigger piece and 

gold embossed it.

Tag 1 was collated together and finished off with building wax

and coloured gauze.

Same for tag 2 I added a glass embellishment to the base of the tag.

Also the same for tag 3 I used the embossed clock and the photo frame

from Boozy bear the frame was painted with Deco art crackle paint and 

coloured with washes of fluid acrylic.

I hope you have all enjoyed my post and will be desperate to try these 

amazing chipboard shapes as they are so versatile and you can

 customise them if you so wish.

Cheers Dee x

SASPC 2017 Winter Special Challenge - Part Two

Servus, hi and welcome back to the second round of inspirational projects (this time from Team B) and the reminder that our winter special challenge is open until the end of December and that you are allowed to enter up to five projects this time instead of the usual three (as it is a two months long challenge that is meant to provide you with plenty of time for your Christmas crafting AND playing along with us).

I have also decided to add a third prize to the pot this time. It's a little surprise package donated by myself (as a little thank you from a proud challenge blog owner who is constantly overwhelmed by the many amazing entries from our wonderful and true players. Thank you all so much!!!! You rock! XXX) . As our other two prizes this one will go to one randomly drawn winner who will be picked among all proper entries.

Besides humble me our regular generous prize sponsors are:

DecoArt media

who are giving away this fab bundle of media goodness...

and

who is giving away a surprise steampunk chipboard package with the most amazing designs! Don't miss the chance to win and play along! 

If you haven't taken a look at the makes from Team A, just follow the link at the bottom of this post to get there. But for now it's time to shine a light on the projects from my Team B ladies:

Maura

"Have you ever wondered how a cobbler might celebrate Christmas? 

I was inspired by old stories from my childhood when I came across this antique wooden shoe form in my stash.

May all your holiday celebrations be joyous and bright!"

Kerstin

"Christmas is knocking at your door, the right time to send some love greetings!"

Dee

who will sadly be leaving the team by the end of this year. 

Dee, we were happy to have you  and your amazing talent with us

and we will miss you!

All the best wishes for your future creative endeavours and we hope we will stay in touch!

Dee says:

 SASPC Challenge. I hope to be able to pop back and join you in taking part in 

future challenges"

"I have done 2 journal pages as my final piece for the team hope you like them."

"You have all been awesome
