Happy Weekend Everyone! We have some awesome new goodies in the shop including my favorite, Steampunk Hearts! We also have some new Valentine Stencils, Stand Up Cupids, Paper Pads, Washi Tapes, and lots more. Christmas is almost here, so shop now so you have some pretties to play with after it's over!
Of course the goodie I wanted to play with most was the Steampunk Heart Ornament (also my favorite product to design)! It was very easy and fun to make. First I used VerDay Paints on the front frame. I wanted a lighter color on the base so I used Collage Sheet CV56 (love for backgrounds). Using a 1" clear cabochon I attached an image from the Time Travelers Collage Sheet using Diamond Glaze. I attached my two heart pieces, added my cabochon to the frame, and then attached some watch parts here and there also using Diamond Glaze. I added some Twinkling H20s around the frame for shimmer, and finally attached some chain to the the "clock key" using jump rings. I love how the ornament has a built in hanger! The finished piece almost looks like a cool pocket watch too! Super easy and I loved the result. So many possibilities with this ornament.
Supplies Used: Masonite Steampunk Heart Ornament, VerDay Paint Set, Twinkling H2Os Basic Rainbow, Collage Sheet CV56, Small Watch Part Mix, 25mm Clear Cabochon, Time Travelers Collage Sheet, Diamond Glaze, Copper Beaded Chain, Brass Jump Rings

I made my heart backgrounds using the included Cardstock Paper Cut, Gelatos, Twinkling H20s, and a water brush! Simply randomly doodle with the Gelatos and then blend with the water brush. Stamp with a rubber stamp, add some Twinkling H20s, and done! I'm loving Gelatos and Twinkling H20s together. My new favorite pair!
