October Plaque

Hi y'all! Lori Here......Since I have never used flocking before. For my technique I decided to flock a gcd Studios chip board piece. The piece I used is bird that was easily turned into a raven.
Flocking is a very simple ans easy technique. I will definitely be doing it again.

I started out with this Christmas frame.

I used stazon and a black sharpie to color the wood frame.

My black paint was out on loan. I love the shine the stazon

created. I used my heat gun to speed up the drying process.

Here is the chipboard piece after I put a layer of black stazon

over it. Inking it before adding the flocking helps hide any

missed spots. To adhere the flocking I used Elmers spray

on glue. It seemed to work well and gave an even coat.

Here is a close up of the flocking. It actually feels like

velvet too. It gives the bird a nice texture.

Have a super day!

Candy Corn and Peanuts

This month for Gcd Studios we were challenged to decorate one of their chip board tags in a Fall theme. I decided to tie the tag I made to a mason jar filled with candy corn and peanuts. YUM! They are the perfect snack. I'm planning on giving each of the children's teachers one too.

I used papers from the Independence and Sunny days collection.

The orange chip board piece is from gcd studios. I used the
Chip Art tool to deboss the word FALL.

I hope you all are enjoying Fall. It is such a beautiful time of year!
