Bandana Mania

Ever since I started to be addicted to "bandana everything", my kids started to wear bandanas too!
In this layout I used the wrinkle free distress technique over a plain white piece of cardstock. When I was pleased with the colors I sprayed the whole page with gold perfect pearls and water.
Glued my photos and stamped away.

Layout using crackle paint

I added red mahogany and spiced marmalade distress crackle paint to this layout, mainly around the edges and on top of the curly embellishments made out of cardstock with a cuttle bug die cut. The big swirl is a piece of many elements made out of chipboard by Technique Tuesday.
I was very pleased with the look.

Star Book

I made this pretty book for a class, I used some kind of bluish-green cardstock from bazzil and everything else is just a plain piece of white cardstock that I colored and stamped myself.

Flag Book with my stamps and The bandana technqiue

I made this book for a class project.

The base of the book is poster board that I got at the Hobby Lobby, I then used PLAIN white cardstock that I myself colored and tinted to look the way it does.

I then cut lots of little flags that I stamped myself.

I wanted to make something with a Valentine Day's theme so this is a sample.

Key Holder plaque

This is a very easy and fun project where I used Distress crackle paint, acrylic dabbers and the basic concept of the bandana technique.

NOEL coasters

The coasters are based on a ceramic shape and finished with an acrylic coat that allow the color to remain true during its constant use, they are easily cleaned with a moist cloth

Tissue Box Cover

I combined the learned real bandana technique with some always elegant perfect pearls and I was very pleased with the results.

I finished my box cover with a coat of Golden gloss finish varnish that will protect both, the color and the integrity of the structure.

I noticed that the use of perfect pearls gave this box a very nice finish of sophistication.

Girly Girl lamp shade

I created this fun lamp shade for my daughter, the whole process was very easy and virtually mess free! I used the Adirondack acrylic dabbers from ranger Inks and some fun marabou boa.
