Guest DT for Fernli Designs 2

Welcome friends and followers 

Sorry I have not had a chance to get much done 

with my neck and shoulder playing up, And my daughter having 

my craft room to sleep when she's home.

And I have had so much on with my Customer care course 

and now English  and the volunteering I am doing.

There is not time for me to chill. 

I got to my room yesterday and got my last 2 

tutorials done.

this is an extra as I was playing with a few new things,

I love all those canvass I see where there is a small amount of stuff on there,

so thought I would try.

Hope you like it.

I used the Frames from Fernli Designs. 

Thank you for stopping by and hope you like the tutorials 

to come. 

Love and Hugs

Facebook group: Fernli designs

*********************

I took this fab dimensional ATC glues it together so simple 

I then covered it in Vintage photo (Tim Holtz)  

Then I took one of the small frames and a piece of  acetate

and cut a small oval to go on the back  and glued it down.

I took some lace and covered the top

.

This was the trick bit LOL 

I used hot glue and made the frame stand up I also used 

some of the flowers and feathers they also keep it up.

I used string pearls to add an edging 

I placed the roses before I glued them down and was happy with 

were they were. I made a bow and added it to the top of the frame and a key and gems 

and some sparkle stickles to finish.

Etchall tutorial a sweet glass set

Click pic to go to the shop.

/

Last day of this fab deal just click the pic to the the Link

Morning all my friends and followers 

 hope your all having a fab weekend,

I have not stopped I have 2 craft fairs next weekend 

and need loads of stuff

on to the tutorial

I got a fab 6 piece glass set from the charity shop,

so I thought I would show you can etch a few small pieces 

at once.

I used the dip n etch liquid for this project. 

I put all the saucers in a large plastic bowl 

you do need more dip if your doing this amount at once

Or a smaller bowl.

I lade them all in and added the dip then left for the 15 min's

time.

Once done I took them out and gave the a good rinse out 

Now with the glass cups the bowl was to big so I put them in a smaller 

pot.

As you can see there was etching on them and I love how they now look double 

etched I love this look..

Once I had done washing them I then added lace and flowers

to finish.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial.

Thank you all for your wonderful comments and Love

Love & Hugs

etchall tutorial

Good afternoon everyone 

hope your all doing well,

I have had some very busy weeks so much to do

its fab to stay busy thought,

I am sorry this is a bit late I have been in pain with my neck and shoulder.

from doing to much lol

now back to the fun for you

As some of you might remember I was part of a small dt for Angela  Holt

and we showed you etchall the glass medium.

I am pleased to say I am now a part of there DT

as an Ambassador.

 So I will be bringing you some fab tutorials 

using all the different medium.

Here I have used both the Crème and the dip. 

 etchall.com

This beautiful small cup and saucer started life as a very glossy 

and plain set. 

First thing make sure there is nothing on it grease ect,

I took the saucer and covered it in the crème 

and left it for 15 min I used a brush to cover the saucer

I took a large plastic container and put the cup in and 

then added water slowly till the cup was covered this step depends 

on how far up you want the etch I wanted the whole cup done.

once the water is to were you want it make a mark on the container,

as below.

once you have done tip the water out and dry both the cup and the container,

once dry add the dip'n'etch to the container then add the cup. 

Also leave for 15 mins

Once your 15 min is up using a pallet knife I used a plastic one

scrap the Crème back into the bottle.

then wash it off NOT IN A PORCELAIN SINK 

as this will take the gloss of.

a stainless steel sink is best or a plastic bowl.

Hope fully you can see it has left the saucer a matt and covered the gloss

this is best if you want to paint the surface. 

Now take the dip and pour it back into the bottle,

then rinse the cup as you did the saucer.

Once there both dry you now have a great surface

to do as wish. 

I took some purple acrylic paint and dabbed it all over the 

cup and saucer.

this is a great Technic that dry's very quickly. 

Then I took some purple lace ribbon and flowers and covered 

the saucer I used E6000 glue to keep the cup in place.

you can use loads of small flowers here as its a sweet size.

And this has a great home now as it was a gift for 2 amazing ladies

that have done a lot to help me of late so it i now on a dresser in the 

Heavenly hookers cafe. lol ye this is the name it is a crochet group. 

Thank you for stopping by I hope you have enjoyed 

this tutorial.

Thank you for all your amazing support 

and love.

Love & Hugs
