Things I Did In August (And Didn't Post Until September)...

Since it's now September and my Tres Jolie kit for this month will be here soon, I figured I'd better show off what I did with last month's kit!  Last month was a little hectic for me with some military training, severe weather (to include Hurricane Laura), and some more COVID-19 stuff I didn't really get much done.  I am working on a mini-album with the rest of this kit that I hope to finish up tonight!

Here is the LO:


I really loved so many of the elements that came with this kit to include the mold and modeling paste.  I used the mold to make the fairy below then colored it blue with some Shimmerz mists.  Added some flowers and a little bit of gold glitter to make some sparkle.


I absolutely LOVE resin pieces.  I used the bench from the kit and sprinkled it with some blue and purple mists from Shimmerz (Ahoy Matey and Grape Escape)


Used a couple of the tag cut outs and seam binding to make some tags (some of the rest of the tags will be in the upcoming mini-album).  More sprays from Shimmerz (same colors) If you look closely you can see some stenciling work to add texture behind the cards.


Finally, I used all kinds of paints and sprays to color the chipboard before adding some more glitter and a little gold paint.


There you have it!  My goal is to post at least once a week this month.  Hopefully things will slow down just enough to let me do that!  Hope everyone is staying safe out there!
