Artchix and Rub on Love and Giveaway!!

The truth is...I love me my Artchix Studio supplies!! When I get a package in the mail...it's like Christmas!!


One of the pieces I was just dying to play with were these sweet natural keyholes...


I first added some Gilders Paste to the top...



Then some Gold Rub n Buff (It's the same as Gilders Paste,I just had it in front of me at the time and was to lazy to reach for the Gold Gilders)... ( :


Then I took some of my second favorite playthings...Rub-ons...Now some of you may know that I started selling these in my supply shop and I am so glad I did because everyone else seems to LOVE them too...


After I added the rub on,I cut out an image from one of the delicious Artchix Collage sheets...glued it to the back and gently hammered in some 1/16" long eyelets to the holes...


and lastly added Ice Resin to the top...for that extra...Pizazz...heehee...


Come on...admit it...these are fun and you know you want to try...
so today I am offering a sweet Giveaway with some delicious ArtChix wood artbits and some of my rub ons from the shop...


For a chance to win,just leave me a comment and I will pick a winner on Monday the 17th!!

One last treat before I go.I came across this video and I Love every single thing about it!! This artist has vision and I can see,hear,feel...every ounce of it.
Enjoy.


As Always,
thank you so much for stopping by

Well who would have thought with a little color, a rub-on and some resin would make a key hole plaque into such an adorable picture frame!!

I have to admit, I looked at the first photo of the keyholes and thought they're cool, but what in the world could you do to them other than paint them. Wow....LOVE what you've created with them! You've turned them into beautiful pieces of art!
