Have you gotten any of the new fall colors of Glimmer Mist yet? I used them for most of my projects shown below and I must tell you - I’m in love with these colors! Sometimes the photos don’t do them justice, they are so A-MAZZZ-INGLY beautiful in person.
August was "resist" month on the Tattered Angels blog, so each of my projects showcases a resist technique. My first project uses Vaseline for the resist.
Products: Tag: Office Supply Store; Chipboard Butterfly: Tattered Angels; Letter Stickers: Pink Paislee, October Afternoon; Patterned Paper: DCWV; Ledger Stamp: Hero Arts; Ribbon: Offray; Heart Stick Pins: Maya Road; Vaseline; Varnish: Delta Creamcost; Glimmer Mist (Apple, Wheatfield): Tattered Angels; Glimmer Glam (Espresso Bean): Tattered Angels.
First I stamped the tag with the ledger image than sprayed it with Apple GM. After the GM was dry I coated the tag with a satin finish varnish and let that dry. Using a stuff brush I painted the Vaseline on several areas of the tag. You could just apply it with your fingers as well. Then I painted over the entire card with Espresso Bean Glimmer Glam. After it was dry, I rubbed the card with a paper towel. The Vaseline keeps the Glimmer Glam from adhering to the tag so all of the Vaseline covered areas will be wiped clean down to the varnish layer. As you can see, you can create a really nice distressed paint look with this technique. The butterfly chipboard is from the Butterfly Framed Fonts, it has been sprayed with Wheatfield GM.
On the next tag, I stamped and embossed (white embossing powder) a compass stamp (from the Tattered Traveler Stamp Set). Then I sprayed the tag with Apple, Dragonfly, Pomegranate, and Autumn Nights GM. The embossed image resists the glimmer mist; you just need to wipe the glimmer mist off with a paper towel.
Products: Tag: Office Supply Store; Gems: MAMBI; Letter Stickers: October Afternoon; Compass Stamp: Tattered Angels; Ribbon: May Arts; White Embossing Powder: Tsukineko; Embossing Ink: Ranger; Glimmer Mist (Apple, Dragonfly, Pomegranate, and Autumn Nights): Tattered Angels.
On this next tag, the resist was done using a stencil and varnish. I coated the entire tag with Golden Goddess Glimmer Glam. Once that way dry, I placed the stencil on the tag and applied the varnish (the resist medium). After the varnish was dry, I sprayed the tag with Apple, Dragonfly, and Pomegranate GM. The resisted parts are the golden colored petal shaped areas. Then I stamped and gold embossed the beehive pattern. I stamped and embossed the butterfly twice – first in gold, then in black. The butterfly stamp is from the Nature Collection – Graceful Journey Stamp Set. The chipboard butterfly (from the Nature Glimmer Chip Collection) is sprayed with Pomegranate and Apple GM. The chipboard letters are from the Regal Framed Fonts Set, they have been sprayed with Apple and Dragonfly GM.
Just like on the previous tag, the resist on the next tag was done using a stencil and varnish. I coated the entire tag with Golden Goddess Glimmer Glam. Once that way dry, I placed the stencil on the tag and applied the varnish (the resist medium). After the varnish was dry, I sprayed the tag with Dragonfly and Pomegranate GM. The resisted parts are the golden colored areas. Then I stamped and black embossed the beehive pattern. I stamped and white embossed the flourish image (the stamp I used is actually the tree canopy from the Blossom Stamp Set – Trees). Then I stamped it again on the other side of the tag and embossed it with purple glittered embossing powder. I colored in some of the beehive cells with Emerald Cove Glimmer Glaze. The chipboard frame is sprayed with Pomegranate GM and the area within the frame is sprayed with Apple GM
On this tag I used a stencil with Glimmer Glam. I placed the stencil on the tag and applied Espresso Bean Glimmer Glam (the resist medium). After the glam was dry, I sprayed the tag with Apple, Dragonfly and Pomegranate GM. Then I stamped the swirl (from the Regal Collection Stamp Set - Classic Accents) in black solvent ink. The chipboard “U” and surrounding circle are from the Tattered Traveler Framed Font Set, they are sprayed with Apple, Dragonfly and Pomegranate GM.
Products: Tag: Office Supply Store; Chipboard: Tattered Angels, Technique Tuesday; Letter Stickers: Doodlebug; Swirl Stamp: Tattered Angels; Honeycomb Stamp: Prima; Ribbon: May Arts; Swirl Stencil: Prima; Glimmer Mist (Apple, Dragonfly, and Pomegranate): Tattered Angels; Glimmer Glam (Espresso Bean): Tattered Angels; Black Solvent Ink: Tsukineko.
On this last tag I stamped and clear embossed the ledger lines. I then sprayed the tag with Dragonfly, Apple and Sugar Maple GM. Once the GM was dry, I added letter stickers spelling “thank you” to the tag. I traced around the stickers with a permanent-ink black pen and then removed the stickers. I filled in the letter areas with a clear dimensional glaze. Once the glaze was dry, I sprayed the letter area with Pomegranate GM. The glaze resists the GM. The chipboard owl (from the Nature Glimmer Chip Collection) was sprayed with Apple GM.
Products: Tag: Office Supply Store; Chipboard: Tattered Angels; Letter Stickers: Pink Pasilee, Basic Grey, ScrapWorks. Leadger Stamp: Hero Arts; Ribbon: Offray; Gems: MAMBI, Stick: Craft Store; Clear Dimensional Gloss Medium: Ranger; Glimmer Mist (Apple, Dragonfly, Sugar Maple, and Pomegranate): Tattered Angels; Clear Embossing Powder: Ranger; Clear Embossing Ink: Ranger.
I thought I re-post a few of my older projects that used a resist technique with Glimmer Mist. All of the cards below use a sort of a double emboss resist technique (heat (wet) emboss over a dry embossed image). You rub clear embossing ink onto the raised parts of the image, add clear embossing powder and heat emboss. Spray Glimmer Mist over the image and then dab/wipe the Glimmer Mist, the mist will wipe off the raised embossed portion of the image. You can get more info and images in the original post

Thanks for stopping by today and good luck to those of you who will be trying out for the Tattered Angels Design Team! Patty
