Tall Garden Cottage Tutorial

This month I have a pretty big tutorial to share.

There are loads of steps and it'll take some time to complete (especially when you factor in drying time), but I think it's worth it.

Created from Gina's 3 Story House, you could customize the contents to your own whims and tastes. Filled with little mementos, keepsakes and small photos it would make a wonderful gift for someone special.

Mine isn't quite so sentimental and will be home to little gnome and elf figures and collectibles :)

Don't feel rushed with this project. Enjoy the process of making it 'just-so' and the challenge of filling it with lovely little bits and bobs.

You can find the full video tutorial HERE. If you have any questions or are unclear about anything, don't hesitate to ask.

Gina's Designs and ColourArte Collaboration

Hi friends, hope you had a safe and happy 4th of July. Today I'm sharing a project I created with various Gina's Designs Laser Cuts and the beautiful color products by ColourArte. I was so excited to receive these products for this fun collaboration. The technique I used for this project was a water color wash that gave my project a was of color but not too much.

I started out with this plain birdhouse that I purchased at a local craft store.

I added all my Gina's Designs chipboard pieces Fairy Door Amy love, and Fairies Large and Fairies Medium and Cottage Windows Small.

For the next step I gessoed everything and added texture with stencils and modeling paste. This is optional but I wanted a wood texture on the door and I also added Wisteria to the house. Once you start adding your color wash you will see the texture.

I painted the Fairies with Iridescent Blue and the wings with different colors of Twinkling H2O's and Silks Acrylics Glaze.

Here is the colors I used.

Kiwi, Lemondrop, Carribean Blue Mist, and Plum Blossom.

The colors I used on the door is Autumn Butternut.

I painted the Wisteria using more the Silks Acrylics Glaze in Plum Blossom

To get the paint to drip I sprayed it with water.

I toned down the color with in Silks Acrylics Glaze Periwinkle.

I then added Silks Acrylics Glaze in Olive Vine to the leaves of the wisteria..

The main part of the bird house was painted with Twinkling H2O's Rainforest. When you're done painting you fairy house...embellish it with flowers, fairy dust and whatever you choose.

To give it a finishing touch I added Inka Gold rub in Gold.

RubberMoon Cross Promotional Tags

Hello crafty friends, I am here to share with you today the tags I created using stamps by RubberMoon & laser chipboard by Gina's. I used the deco cat stamp on both tags. The cat is looking out the window on both tags.

Tag 1

Tag 1 was cut from a Accu cut die Album tags using corrugated paper. I used graphic 45 paper layering two of the secret garden tags/cards over the diamond textured sheet and intricate doilies.

Tag 2

Tag 2 cut from the Accu cut album tags using Robins Nest winter snowflake paper. The cat was stamped on the chipboard cat that was painted with spun sugar distress paint.
