After thought:)

I just kept looking at my finished

piece for my entry in Retro Cafe Art's

Contest and just thought

it needed a little something....

Now it's finished:)

Enjoy!

Happy Sunday Morning 'Shout Out' :) :)

Hello Everyone:)

I realized this weekend that

my dear friend Kristin Hubick

at Retro Cafe Art

has another Contest going on and

is about to come to an end in 5 days!

So if you go to her blog

(link in my favourites listing:)

all the particulars are on her 

posting for her wonderful contest!

There's still 5 days to go, so you

still have time to make an entry!

Being Sunday morning, ( I woke up

at 5 a.m. dying to be in the art room,

so here's what I was up to:)

My Entry into Kristin's Contest:)

I love her ATC Holder Kits

and have already in past blog postings

showed how I like to put them together 

and embellish them.

So here's another one, and this time, all

the products used in this project came from

Kristin's shop Retro Cafe Art.

(Kristin is also the owner of Coffee Break Design which

manufactures all of these great products!)

Clever girl!

So the basics:)

I took her masonite ATC Holder Kit

and glued it all together using my favourite

Glossy accents by Inkssentials.

Then, I painted the ATC Holder, inside and outside,

with Deco Brand Metal Paint, White.

(Also from Retro Cafe Art).

After it dried, (and this paint dries really fast!),

I then used Tim Holtz 'Distress Inks to create

a background. Then I took one of my favourite 

script stamps and randomly stamped all over

the outside with Stazon Black ink.

Once the ink had dried, I glued the 

Coffee Break Design Cut-Out Wing Set to the

sides of the ATC Holder.

(I inked the wings like the ATC Holder, but used

Sepia Coloured Stazon Ink.)

Once the wings were secure, I then embellished

the project with Coffee Break Designs great

masonite cogs! Love these things!

I took Tim Holtz metal brads, and cut off the 'tails',

and glued them into the centres of the cogs.

A few more little embellishments from

Kristin's product line, ( as it is for her contest:)

Then I put my trademark 

'Tim Holtz' Hitches

on the bottom of the ATC Holder for feet!

It's one of my favourite uses for his product:):)

A little pearl in the middle of

the cog, and it's all done:)

So that is how I spent my Sunday morning this morning, 

and it just goes to show with still 5 days to go, you

still have time to make something to enter in 

Kristin's Contest!

Enjoy!
