Growing in Unity–Day 2

Thanks everyone for coming back!!  I hope you enjoyed our metal sheet board from yesterday. 

Now onto today’s project and this may look complicated but I promise you is super simple.  It just may take a few steps.  I’ll show you first then explain.

You may recognize some of those images.  (Top Left going clockwise: Bee – The Best is Yet to Be; Good Times –  The Good Times October KoM 2008; Bird - The Best is Yet to Be; Flowers – Just Be You). 

What I did was get some polymer clay, now don’t think you have to go invest in a whole bunch of new stuff.  I got some from Walmart that was in the craft section but it was more in the kiddie side, it only cost about $6.  You work out your clay, then press your image in.  Use an Exacto knife to cut out each image.  Then into the oven it goes, then 15-20 minutes you have a blank canvas to work on.  Use whatever you like to decorate your surface.

I used Walnut Stain, Copic pen, pencil & Shimmer Blingz to color this pretty.

On this one, I used some more Shimmerz spray.  Then went to town with some Smooch in Gold & Siren for my sunset.  For the bird I just used Pool. 

Now I just have one word of caution when you are making/decorating your surface that you want your magnets to stick to, make sure they are magnetized metal.  I made that mistake first, kinda frustrating when you’re all done & proud of what you did and the magnets won’t stick…LOL.  OH well.

Thanks for stopping by today!
