A Little Mixed Media - Heart Bezel

Hello friends - Monday here for me, Monday evening infact and it has been a productive day.  It is always a great feeling to get some projects finished and photographed - getting them blogged is a whole 'nother show!! LOL!! 

I have used the  largest Bezel in the Spellbinders Media Mixage Hearts One - Bronze and the co-ordinating Die, which I believe may have been discontinued.  I have used some recycled Mixed Media paper, stamping some eclectic images onto it and then coating on both sides using Imagine Creative Medium to seal the paper so liquid does not change it.

I have added some embellishments - they are adhered by drizzling a little Ice Resin into the bezel and layering the embellishment onto it.  Once I was definite I poured in some Ice Resin - I love how it is self doming and dries like jewellers glass - perfect.

Some reasonably chunky glitter has been sprinkled onto the Ice Resin - it is heavy enough to sink slightly and has a great effect.  I am still deciding exactly what I am going to do with it - the options are many - maybe a necklace, on a canvas, bookmark.....to name a few!

A Touch of Paris with Ice Resin

Hello Blog Friends - today I wanted to share a combined project with you.  My DH is a very talented man - he does photography and is also upcycling furniture, which you can see here.  I have to be honest and say that he does all of the hard work!

I create the Bezels that he has added to a few pieces - as you will see.  Don't be fooled - these are very easy to create - and a lot of fun!

I have used the medium Oval Hobnail Bezel.  My images are stickers that is created to co-ordinate with the Bezels, it has been sealed using  Imagine Crafts 'featuring' Tsukineko: Creative Medium.  This is applied to the front and the back of the image and also around the cut edges - then allow to dry.  

Mix equal amounts of Part A and Part B of the Ice Resin (use a small measuring cup for accuracy), stir until clear, using a wooden stirrer, Put aside for 5 minutes for the bubbles to settle.  Drizzle a little bit of Ice Resin into the Bezel and spread it with the wooden stirrer.  Add the sticker making sure it is smooth and no air bubbles underneath.

Add any embellishments, including glitter.  Slowly pour Ice Resin into the Bezel using the wooden stirrer until the Bezel is full - remember Ice Resin is self doming - but be careful not to overfill. 

 Set aside for 24 hours to dry properly.  You will have a finished product with Jeweler quality glass - how good is that!!

The finished Bezels have been added to this beautiful french, shabby screen, adding a lovely 'Parisian' touch - what do you think?!  You can find other projects HERE

Media Mixage Cherub Bezel

I have shared a something a little bit different on the Want2Scrap Blog and wanted to share it with you today - a Media Mixage Ornament - made using Want2Scrap© pearls and the gorgeous line of  Spellbinders products.

The Squares Two bezels designed by Susan Lenart Kazmer™ for Spellbinders makes the perfect base for this ornament - I have used red Premium Craft Foils, along with the Music Spellbinders® Media Mixáge™ Texture Plate.  A charm from my stash has been added, followed by ICE Resin® - I love the way this came together so easily.

Want2Scrap© - Baby Bling has been adhered around the edge to form a pretty frame and add to the nostalgic feel.  Some Seam Binding and a silver spacer added to the top and a silver heart from my stash to the lower ring - nice and easy and so effective don't you think!
