Tres Jolie Kit Club-May 2020 Mixed Media Kit-Summer Vase

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog! Today my Tres Jolie Kit Club project is a summer vase using an upcycled jar, mediums from the mixed media kit, and papers from April’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit!

I absolutely loved the Ciao Bella papers that came in April’s Cards, Tags, & More Kit! I loved, loved, loved the lemons with the dark blue! And it worked out that the Little Birdie wax in this month’s Mixed Media Kit was a perfect complement! Check out my video to see this summer vase come together!

After I coated the jar with the Little Birdie “Golden Glaze,” wrapped the papers around the jar, and adhered the image to the lid, I used Tim Holtz’s “Crazing” Medium (from my stash) as my topcoat. I then rubbed the Little Birdie wax all over, giving the “Golden Glaze” paint a blue hue and really bringing out the “cracks” from the “Crazing”!

The lid and lace are a permanent part of the piece! I used E6000 & some gel medium to hold it where I wanted, at the angle I wanted!

For the most part, I will try to upcycle anything! Who knows how old this jar was, but it has found a new purpose!

Tres Jolie Kit Club–May 2020 Moodboard–Art Journal

| Corner Scraps

Hey, all! Welcome back to my blog! Today I have an Art Journal spread I created based on this month’s mood board challenge for the Tres Jolie Kit Club!

**Note: The photos are pinker than in real life, the video shows the colors much better. What I’ve learned is to be more awake when editing…

DSC_0001-FRAMED
I have a little something from every May kit on this 2-page spread! Mediums from the Mixed Media kit, the clock & papers from the Scrapbooking kit, and papers from the Cards, Tags, & More kit!

Here is the mood board, and below it, you will find a video!

Mood Board

Check out my video to see how I did this spread & to get a better representation of the colors!

Here is a close-up of the left page. Some of the papers were torn, some were cut with a circle die, and I fussy cut the phrase!

DSC_0003-FRAMED

Here is the right page. The chipboard clock came from the May 2020 Scrapbooking kit and I painted it with the “Caribbean Teal” paint from the May 2020 Mixed Media kit! The gold stenciling is the “Golden Glaze” paint, also from the May 2020 Mixed Media kit, mixed with some 13@rts MAGIC! Powder.

The more teal colored papers came from the scrapbooking kit, while the soft rose-colored papers are from the Cards, Tags, and More kit! (Below are photos of all three kits!)

iNSD 2020 – Tres Jolie Kit Club–BINGO!

| Corner Scraps

Hi, all! Welcome back to my blog! I hope you were able to join us over at the Tres Jolie Kit Club Café and enjoyed the challenges offered!

I created a BINGO challenge, and am now sharing the details of that challenge here on my personal blog! (I didn’t want to cause “entry” confusion during the challenge!)

BINGO! Challenge Guidelines & my examples:

Now, to the requirement! It’s rather simple, all you need to do is have all five (5) elements of the one (1) row OR one (1) column OR one (1) diagonal that you choose included on your project!

You are not limited to only those five (5) elements, but all five (5) must be included!

iNSD2020-BINGO-TresJolieKitClub-SAMPLE

I have put together a couple of examples for you to view; a layout, a mini-journal/notebook, and a mixed media canvas. You do not have to create any specific project type! These are just some examples of what can be done!

First, the layout:

There are flowers on the cover and on the patterned papers, the staples and eyelet are metal, there are three half-back beads on the cover, as well as a chipboard frame around “Notes,” and the mini-paper clips are wooden!

My third example is a mixed media project featuring a photo of my son’s friend! (With her permission, of course!)
