"Be in the Moment" with Creative Embellishments

Updated: May 28, 2020

Hello there my fellow crafty beauties! I am back today inspiring you once more this month with Creative Embellishments. I just love our inspiration this month and had to stay with the theme of clocks and the darker colors seen in the image. When we stop and think about it, I mean really think about it life is short and time is always ticking. So, why wait to "be in the moment?" It's too easy to get caught up in the every day, isn't it? Though it isn't tangible time is precious, in fact, it's the most precious thing we have. We make choices on how to spend it. So spend it wisely.

*****Let's get started, shall we?*****

I also have a YouTube tutorial if you are interested.


1.Begin by laying down your rice paper using some adhesive

2. Now start playing with all your gear chippy's and placing them

3. Cut some of the bigger pieces to fit your canvas so they don't come off the edges

4. Alter your chipboard pieces using some paints

5. Now place your chipboard piece down on your surface

6. Get out your resin gears and put a coat of black gesso on them

7. While you have your black paint out distress your edges using the black gesso

8. Once the resin gears are dry place those to your canvas and use waxes to alter them

9. Now splatter the entire surface with watered down black gesso

10. Distress your sentiment using black ink and add your metal roman numerals

I hope you enjoyed the tutorial with me today. Until next time, stay safe and stay healthy!
