Ideas you can use with Office Metal Tags on your art Projects!

Hello my arty friends!

Here are a few examples of what you can do with Office Metal Tags

for your junk journals, and/or scrapbooking pages.

Spritz your favorite mist, or tea stain the white

portion of the office metal tag; then apply some digi paper, or stamp

an image on top of the tag; add a fussy cut an element; and finally apply

some Shimmerz Paints, Pasteez-Sale of the Earth to

seal your applications and it will render a cool

faux encaustic look without the hassle of real encaustic wax.

The butterfly example above is the result of a heavy application of

Pasteez-Salt of the Earth.

A selection of sizes of the Office Metal Tags 

can be purchased at

A Tattered Dream on Etsy here.

Not only can you purchase office metal tags in a variety of sizes,

but the shop has an abundance of trims, fibers, and

junk journal papers too. 

Thank you for letting me share. 

Shabby Chic Summer Place Junk Journal and new You Tube Channel

Summer’s over but I’m not quite done with it yet.

Today I'm sharing my shabby chic Summer Place Junk Journal. 

It’s stuffed with old things I used to hold dear:

a collage featuring an old ticket to a play I attended;

stained Battenburg doily;

Pansies I dried years ago and now have a home in my journal;

a letter from Grandma which included a dollar to buy ice cream on the way home from the neighborhood pool;

a post card from my favorite Pre-Raphaelite Artist;

and some music sheet to, “ A Summer Place” by Percy Faith. 

When I was a young child, my mom would play this song when she set up to oil paint

or do some chores.

Then and today, it still resonates with me.

I feel all is right in the world and it still brings a tear to my eye. 
I can't use my theme some to a Summer Place on YouTube, so I had to choose another classical piece of music to use in stead. Thanks for viewing with me.

All the chipboard, and linen fabric in the junk journal was treated with yummy, creamy Shimmerz Paints.

Let me tell you what I used.

Chipboard:
Acritonez-Three Sheets to the Wind
Inklingz – Pugnacious Purple, Precious Posey, and I Love you Onyxly
Shimmerz – Orchid-stra

Button:

Blingz- Gold Glimmer
Shimmer – Berry-licious

Coffee dyed paper and white linen fabric:   I combined the following two products to achieve a dusty lilac color.

Vibez- Princess
Shimmeringz-Heavy Metal
