ESF Crackle - Coaster Pen Holder

Hello everybody! Today I am stopping by with this Coaster Pen Holder using ESF Crackle and Chalk it up paints. I had a lot of fun making this project and was pretty easy to put together too.

Products Used

• Earth Safe Finishes ™ Chalk it Up paints: Key Lime Pie, Cherry Jubilee and Plum Preserves 
• Earth Safe Finishes™ Crackle
• Earth Safe Finishes™ No VOC Acrylic Varnish
• Cardboard coasters, ribbon and hot glue.

So you need 5 coasters for this project. First I painted the Coasters with ESF Cherry Jubilee Chalk it up paint and then sponged 2 coats of ESF Crackle paint, you have to let the crackle layer dry before applying the next one. After the crackle paint was dry I added the chalk it up key lime pie paint and let it crackle. I then stamped an image using black ink.

Once my image was dry I painted the flowers in cherry jubilee and plum preserves.

Once that was dry i coated everying the ESF Acrylic Varnish. Then punched five holes on the sides the threaded with ribbon like a shoe lace. the bottom piece was hot glued.

So what do you all think and Thanks for stopping by..........

Where Flowers Bloom...............

Hi, dear Friends today I am stopping by to share my very first tag. Here in WNY we have had a frigid February apparently its the coldest month in the recorded history now thats something!......so this gloomy weather had been making most of us here very gloomy and down so I decided to make something cheerful with a hopeful greeting that may be, just maybe the temperatures are going to get warmer soon. So here is the tag..........

So I started with beautiful tag I recieved from Ann Butler, I used the art daubers and colored the tag using sunshine, tangelo and canyon inks, I then stamped using the basket stamps with night ink color. Now came the making's clay, I rolled out a piece of clay and cut out the flower shapes, then colored them using  Colorbox Crafters by Ann Butler in Canyon, Tangelo,Sunshine, Limelight and used iridescents powders to give the flowers a beautiful shimmer. Then added some stemps and leaves with making's clay. I embossed the sentiment on makings clay and attached it to the top of the tag.
