Table Organizer by Irene Tan

Hello Marion Smith Designs fans!It's Irene here with you all today! This time, I'm going to share with you all a table organizer using recycled products. I've decorated this project using the gorgeous Marion Smith Designs "Timekeeper" collection.

To create the piece on the left, I've used an old box and cut it into halves. Then, stack it on top of each other. As for the piece on the right, I've cut an old cereal box and attached it to the earlier piece.

To further decorate this project, I've used some chipboard pieces and flowers.

I used some Color Lab paints to add colors to the chipboard pieces. I've also created a pocket insert on the left of this project.

Supplies Used:
Antique Emporium, Art Nouveau, Carnival, Cogs and Gears, Exploratorium, Marchant, Portfolio, Tinker/Timekeeper
Color Lab

See you all soon!

Shaker Tags

Hello all you lovelies out there. Shanna here with some fun inspiration. 

You know those shaker cards?? Well why not a shaker tag??

I made some using my favorite paper right now Junque Gypsy Nota Bene.

Ready for a little how-to? Grab your cup and keep reading. PICTURE HEAVY!

I traced a tag for the top layer. 

Then I cut it out. I also cut out some circles in the tag for spots to see the sparkle stuff on the inside. 

I started with some gold powder from the color lab. 

Then some Teal. 

Then Dusty Rose. Each spritzed with water after I added the powder. 

Then I added some acetate paper with good tacky glue. I then added foam tap so there is room for the sparkly stuff to move around. 

Here you can see the filler stuff in the tags. 

Then I added the back of the tags and finished embellishing them. 

I also used flowers from my stash and some of the Sweet Pea Paper flowers to add extra pop to my tags. I added words by way of Tim Holtz Chit Chat stickers and inked all my edges with Black Soot Distress Ink.

Hope you were inspired I would love to see you shaker tags. 

Thanks for stopping by!

@Love Layout by Irene Tan

Hello friends! Have you all tried playing with the Color Lab kit by Marion Smith Designs? If not, today I would like to show you all a layout which I've decorated with tons of flowers colored using Color Lab.

This layout features the beautiful and vintage "Junque Gypsy" collection by Marion Smith Designs.

To warm the tones of this layout, I've used Color Lab to color some warmer tones on the flowers.

It is so easy to color these flowers using Color Lab. Here are some simple steps which I've used. First of all, mist the flowers by using the spray with the mixture of color pigments of your choice.

While the flower is still wet, use a brush and some darker tones pigment to add depths to it.

Keep adding colors until you get your desired flower look. I've also added some glitter to my flowers for some sparkle.

Supplies Used:

Junque Gypsy collection

Color Lab kit

Gems

Hope you all like these simple tips. Hope to see you all again soon!

Altered Bottle by Irene Tan

Hi Marion Smith fans! Today I'm going to share with you all a project which is a little different from my usual. This time, I'm sharing an altered bottle using tons of mixed media techniques and Marion Smith Designs Junque and Gems. 

Besides the amazing Colorlab paints, I've used some resin flowers, gems, glass and bezzel. I've also used some images from the Timekeeper and Junque Gypsy collection to add details to this bottle.

I've used a vintage image from the Junque Gypsy collection to insert into the glass and bezzel before adding it to the bottle.

The colorlab pigments add depth and hint of metallic effect on this bottle.

Supplies Used:

Colorlab kit

Resin Rose - Mint

Junque and Gems - Glass and Bezzel

6 x 6 Timekeeper collection

Priceless Exploration

Hello all you lovelies!!! 

Shanna here today for my turn of inspiration for you all. 

I haven't done a layout yet using Marion Smith papers as I have been having so much fun altering things. (I have a mini coming up soon)!!! 

I played with a sheet from the Junque Gypsy collection called Carte Blanche.

I got crazy with the color lab to color up some flowers I added with a stencil using modeling paste. 

I just love the texture and shimmer!

I sprinkled some black india ink and some watered down gesso for splatter. I even added some micro glass beads for more texture. 

I found this zipper embellishment in my stash of "lost things". I thought it fit on the flower perfectly and really defined this moment. 

I really enjoyed making this layout to go in a frame to hang on the wall. The pop of color will really set the tone and add some flair. 

Thanks for stopping by.
