altered frosted wineglass

happy valentines day in advance to all !!! this february, artzdescrap is featuring our inspirational tutorial for the month over at the artz blog. head on there and see for yourself what the crew have in store for you all!!! hope you will be inspired with their creations!

this is my take on the tutorial.. i used a frosted wineglass here and embellished with prima flowers ( with diamond glaze).. some felt heart strips ( courtesy of helga vergara-- my SK card swap partner). i also stickled them with assorted colors.


maya road sheer tickets are to die for, available at visual creations! hati kami ni au nito coz for a pack, there are 2 pieces for each design. cute!

sneak for artzdescrap's tutorial ( february)

altered file folder

for the month of february, we at artzdescrap would like to share with you all our interpretation of an altered file...

i bought this plastic file folder at national bookstore and ...

painted the surface with gesso first...

then with acrylic paint...

i also thought of mixing the whole scene with radiant rain to make it shimmer... and kinda distressed...

FINAL PRODUCT

i just love the matte medium of Studio!!! you can use it for attaching/adhering embellishments like metals and paper! anything!!!...

i also decided to use my stamps!! they have been sitting and hiding in my cabinet for quite some time already.
