Happy Birthday To ME and Birthday Blog Candy for YOU! Leave me a Comment for a chance to win Blog Candy and Click here to subscribe to my mailing list for more chances to WIN BLOG CANDY! I have lots of goodies here that need a new home where they can be put to good use! Today's Dazzling Diva Design Challenge was to use Hexagons. I decided to do a couple more Art Journal Pages 'cause I am just an Art Journal-ista! (I wish I'd known how much fun this was going to be!) I started with my three favorite Craft Metal Colors – Dark Rich Chocolate Metal, Brushed Copper, and Brushed Bronze.
Tim Holtz Tissue Paper was attached to two pages of my Art Journal.
I rubbed Distress Stains Directly onto the Tissue Paper – Antique Bronze, Vintage Photo and Antique Linen. Then, I spritzed them with water, rubbed the pages with a Flour Sack Towel and dried it with a Heat Tool.
Using the Tim Holtz Die, I cut out Honeycombs in all three colors of Craft Metal.
The Dark Rich Chocolate Metal was used for the Honeycomb and then the other colors were placed in the centers and adhered with Glue Dots.
The Idea-ology lock was adhered to the top of the left page with Glue Dots. I used a Dyan Reavely Stencil and Dream Weaver's Black Embossing Paste to put the quote onto the pages.
The Tag was cut from cardstock and the decorative top was punched using a Stampin' Up! Scallop Edge Punch. It was Distressed using Distress Stains and then Idea-Ology Mini Corners were attached to the bottom and a Linen Ribbon was distressed and attached to the top. The whole tag was then layered onto a piece of Dark Chocolate Metal Sheet that was punched using the SU! Scallop Edge Punch and attached to the page using Sticky Strip.
