Another "pink sheet" in the making, don't you think?
Karen Lockhart is finally returning to Art 'n Soul in August. If you haven't signed up for her classes, you should do it soon because her classes always fill up. The first class is a refresher on her fabulous colored pencil techniques; the second class includes 'doodling' . . . what we call zentangling!

"Judi Kauffman has been playing with Shimmer Sheetz (Gemstones Fire Opal) and the Sizzix "Bow, Create-a-Flower" die again! This time, she put together a medium-size loop and a large loop* to create a character she's named Bow Bird. Maybe he should be called "Beau Bird" - he sure is handsome! (*there is a third, smaller, size loop on the die)
 |
| by Judi Kauffman |
If you can't find a triangle brad to use for the beak, she says to use the flattest round brad you can find to connect the two loops and then top it with a small piece of mat board or heavy card stock cut to size. The eyes are 7 mm Lure Eye stickers from Stanislaus Imports. Judi said that you can use any embossing folder to add texture to the head and body. Plan the placement of the embossing, or let it be random like her sample.
Before connecting the embossed Shimmer Sheetz shapes, she altered them with Tim Holtz's Alcohol Inks and did a bit of sanding to bring out the silver core of the Shimmer Sheetz and tone down the shine just a tad. Her caution flag: If you are making a bird for a child, don't use pins for the legs - paper cutouts would be a safe choice!
Judi's inspiration: The feather she found on her living room floor after dusting with an old-fashioned feather duster. Since Judi often works in series, we're guessing that Bow Bird is going to end up with a few friends some time soon. She says she has two feather boas and some bags of craft store feathers in addition to the duster - plenty for tails and wings or to make crests for the birds' heads!"

From Stamp to Epoxy Embellishment (by Elizabeth Allan)
"I love the look of epoxy and the high gloss finish it lends to projects. While making this gift tag, I infused the layers with multiple coats of embossing powder to capture that lacquer effect.
This project went together fabulously quick since Penny Black’s Round and Round is a perfect match with Spellbinders Standard Circles! A few added fussy cuts and paper piercings gave the pieces a laser cut design.
Instructions:
- Stamp Round and Round on white cardstock with Opera Pink VersaColor. Heat emboss with clear powder. Trim the outside edge with scissors and fussy cut the diamonds with a craft knife. Paper pierce the small dots.
- Pounce a Frost VersaMark ink pad directly onto the design to coat the image. Sprinkle with clear embossing powder, tap off the excess and heat set. Repeat this step two more times or until the desired thickness of melted embossing powder has been reached
- Die cut circles from white cardstock to match the center and middle layers. Follow the same procedure above to create the next two layers. The middle layer is stamped in Orchid VersaColor and the top layer in Opera Pink.
- Layer the pieces with dimensional foam and accent with a gem. This crystal gem was colored with a Copic marker (RV 17) to coordinate with the project.
Tip/Hint: This project can also be adapted to create holiday tree ornaments or jewelry.
