I had never worked with paper clay before. It's a nice option to have around when I want a custom embellishment. First, I rolled out the regular paper clay -- probably more messy than I want to get on a regular basis, but I did like the results. Here is the ornamet that I made with it, the filigree border die, and that wonderful "smile" stamp. Really, I promise I didn't use that one on everything I've made this weekend.
Then I turned to the Delight paperclay. That was a lot less messy and die cut well. I decided to try several dies. First, I tried the Trendy Tree Tops:
I colored the tree, trunk and heart with Copic markers. If I had this one to do over again, I'd die cut the trunk out of the top so I could piece it together and wouldn't have to layer.
Then I started with buttons. I had colored some clay with my old SU Blue Bayou ink refill and had put glitter into another batch. I cut buttons from all of it. When I chose the patterned paper (My Mind's Eye -- The Sweetest Thing) I was going to use for the card, I colored some buttons a darker blue with Copics and stamped the white glitter ones with Kraft ink (SU Crumbcake) and BB Text Style to get the right colors. Here is the card:
After affixing the buttons to the card, I covered each one in Diamond Glaze. I love the glazed look for these. The sentiment is from Quilled Elegance -- another set with sentiments I could use over and over and over...
Thanks for looking!
