Mixing It Up with Terri Sproul Blog Hop

"I create because I have a need to share the most beautiful part of my soul."
~Nikole Casassa

Welcome to the Mixing Creativity with Crystal Lacquer Blog Hop featuring Terri Sproul Mixers!! You already know that I"m a fan of Sakura Hobby Crafts 3D Crystal Lacquer, and if you have been paying attention you know I'm also a fan of Terri Sproul's Mixers. I loved the opportunity to play with these beautiful micas and chunky glitz vintage glass glitter!! I hope you enjoy my motivational sign that I made for my creative space! 

Here is what you need to make it:
6×6" thick acrylic 
gold thread
Lutradur® Mixed Media weight [shapes cut with Sizzix Big Shot]
a saying--I chose a quote art piece from Niki at MelonHeadz Illustrating.

I cut shapes of Lutradur® with the Big Shot and painted
them with Terri Sproul Mixers and Crystal Lacquer. I used
piece of card stock and a piece of paper for the overage
and those pieces were cut and punched to create
elements for the collage.

I used Crystal Lacquer on the edge of the acrylic and dipped
it in the Tanzanite Mixer dusting of f the excess once it was dry.

Pink Sapphire mixers were painted onto the edge of the saying
and the saying was attached to the underside of the acrylic with
Crystal Lacquer. The elements were attached to the front of the
Acrylic with the lacquer as well as were the Steampunk gears.
Gold thread was wrapped around the edges of the acrylic to
imply a frame. The end was secured with hot glue.

  3. It was hard to find the comment button, but I couldn't give up. This project had to have a comment. Talk about some Springpunk! I love the steampunk elements with the springy colors. This sign was begging me to copy it. I might just have to listen.
