Terri Spourl Mixers on Paper Bird Cage & Birds

This week I had the opportunity to go to the Heirloom Productions ~ Puyallup Rubber Stamp & Paper Arts Festival here in the State of Washington.  I had a great time. So much to see, people to meet and products to try.  I did buy a few things and am using a couple them to make my card: the bird die cut, bird cage die cut and the Vintag Moss Patina.

This was  fun card to create. I just love all the products! 

To make the card, die cut the bird cage 2 times (white and gray card stock) and 2 birds on white card stock.

The gray bird cage will be a shadow in the background.

 

Mix Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer with Terri Sproul's Mixer - Gold and paint the white die cut bird cage.  With Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer with Terri Sproul's Mixer Aquamarine paint the birds. Set aside to dry.

Once the bird cage is dry with a sponge (I used my finger) lightly spread the Vintag Moss Patina on the gold bird cage.  Now the cage has an aged look, like it has been lived in!

This is a GREAT die because the bird cage has a door that OPENS! Isn't that awesome!

Mr & Mrs Blue Bird are so excited about their little "Blessings of Joy" in the nest! 

To assemble: Cut approximately half of an acetate frame and adhere to the pattern paper. Attach the gray bird cage die directly to the pattern paper. Layer the bird nest dimensional sticker in the bird cage.  Use foam tape to pop the bird cage painted with Sakura 3D Crystal Lacquer and Terri Sproul's Mixer - Gold.  Add Mr & Mrs Blue Bird with foam tape. Finally the dimensional "Blessings of Joy" sticker.

Make Beautiful Cards with Crystal Lacquer and Terri Sproul Mixers!

In case you haven't noticed I seem to paint just about everything with Sakura Crystal Lacquer and Terri Sproul Mixers! These products are so versatile!

I have been working on several projects and had all of these beautiful colors left over in my mixing pots!!!  What to do???? Can't let any of my crystal lacquer go to waste! (Terri Sproul Mixers pictured below: Tanzanite Pearl, Citrine Pearl, Pink Saphire Pearl, Garnet Pearl, Purple Pearl and Shimmer Red.) 

I decided to make a paper background! I took 65 lb artist paper and began painting the colors randomly. Then set aside to dry and use when I needed for a later project. Note: It takes 15 to 20 minutes for the lacquer to dry on paper when painted thin like this. It will be slightly tacky. Using lacquer on thicker project takes longer to dry!

 

While making another project I was playing with the Pretty Butterfly from Viva Las Vegastamps!  Here I stamped it on tissue, heat embossed with Ultra High Gloss Embossing Powder and the Sakura 3-D Crystal Lacquer Pastel Color Set.    

Here is one of the Pretty Butterflies I had left over when I was finished with that project! 

Today, I want to share how beautiful these products look on a card! I adhered the Pretty Butterfly to a transparency using part of a VLVS! Miracle Sheet and fussy cut the image. 

Pulled out that beautiful paper painted with Terri Sproul Mixers (I made a week ago) and punched a few flowers from the pink edge of the paper.

To give the flowers dimension fold up the petals and painted with Sakura Crystal Lacquer tinted with Terri Sproul Mixers Pink Sapphire Pearl, set aside to dry. 

Add crystal lacquer to the center of the flower and embellish with  Terri's Purple Glitz Effects.  Glitz Effects are beautiful vintage glass particles. LOVE THEM!

Cut another portion of the paper for the card base. Adhere all the pieces to the card with  VLVS Miracle Tape...  Attach the Pretty Butterfly with foam tape to pop it off the card.

This reminds me of my garden when to butterflies fly around all of my beautiful flowers! 

 The colors of these Terri Sproul's Mixers 

remind me of Spring!
