Hello! It's Sue here and today I have the pleasure of focussing on the fabulous Wendy Vecchi Art Parts which you can find at an extra 15% discounted price at The Funkie Junkie Boutique!
There are lots of different types of Art Parts, above is just a small selection. All the pieces are pre-cut thick, durable paper board surfaces that are perfect for altering.
I decided to start with the Cake Stand and placed the base on some white card and then hand drew some scallops around the edge. I then cut it out and stamped over it using Cornflower Archival ink and the Reverse Dots stamp. I then stuck this onto the base.
I then cut a small piece of card and stamped over it using Dandelion Archival ink and the Vintage Tapestry stamp. I then wrapped the card around the small post.
I painted the borders white with acrylic paint and when dry I stamped over the top using Cornflower Blue Archival ink and the Reverse Dots stamp.
I then painted the top of the cake stand with white acrylic paint and stamped over it again using the Vintage Tapestry stamp but this time with Orange Blossom Archival ink.I also rubbed some Orange Blossom over the edge of the borders.
I took one of the frames from the Large Flourish Frames set and painted it with acrylic paint and when dry I spread some Crackle Paste over the top.
While the Crackle Paste was drying I painted one of the pieces from the Leaves set then patted Translucent Embossing Paste over the top. I put this to one side to let it dry and then blended Archival Ink over the top, which you'll see in a later photo.
Once the Crackle Paste was dry on the frame I used Potting Soil and Orange Blossom Archival ink and blended it over the frame.
I then die cut lots of flowers using the Tattered Flowers die, pressed Distress Inks on to my craft sheet and spritzed them with water. I then scrunched the flowers in the ink and water to break the fibres of the card.
I painted a piece of cardboard with brown acrylic paint then stamped the word Art from the Approved Art set. The panel was then attached to two little screw eyelets. I had this idea of the frame being the door to a garden, who knows where it will lead!
I layered the scrunched up flowers and then rubbed some Vintage Photo Distress ink over the edges.
The butterfly is from the Natures Art set and I stamped it onto card that I've blended Dandelion and Orange Blossom Archival ink over. I then stamped the butterfly again onto Clearly for Art, cut it out and layered it on top.
The fabulous dragonfly and the little ring handle are also from The Funkie Junkie Boutique.
I hope you've enjoyed today's focus on Art Parts which you can find for that extra special discounted price HERE at The Funkie Junkie Boutique! And remember, there's also a very special mid-Summer Sizzix sale taking place through August 11th on all in stock dies and embossing folders, with an extra 15% discount applied there too (this does not include pre-orders) so grab those bargains!

Friday Focus - Art Parts
Well it is Trace here, and it is time for my turn with the Friday Focus. This time I have been playing with Art Parts which can be found at The Funkie Junkie Boutique. These fab pieces come in such a huge variety of shapes and are a very versatile addition to any ones crafty stash whether you are a collector of Wendy Vecchi stamps or not. So firstly what are they? Well they are shapes made out of compressed paper and are very sturdy (although they can be cut with a really good pair of scissors). To show how versatile they are I got busy playing and made lots of different pieces to show how cool they are!
So here goes with lots of pictures and hopefully some useful ideas. I have tried to keep the details fairly basic as I have made a few pieces..
Piece #1
This is a small hanging piece made from only one rectangular Art Part. I covered it in paper from a Tim Holtz stack and then trimmed round using a craft knife. I then sanded the edges to get a smooth finish.
The flowers and the vase were covered with some of the new yummy Distress paint in Pumice Stone, adding some soft stamping on the flowers and a pumice stone flourish using one of Wendy's fab new stencils! I chose to add a Blossom Bucket piece for the centre, but any embellishments you choose would be perfect.
Piece #2
For my second piece I used some fab instant frames; it's a new design and these create simple pieces so quickly. For the outside of the frame I applied Distress inks direct to the Art Part and heated it. Then I added some stencilled Distress ink and some of the yummy new translucent paste.
For the inside I first covered the Art part piece with some cream card stock as I wanted the paler Distress ink and stencilled and stamped details to show up. The quote is from a Wendy Vecchi set Wildflower Art. The flowers and leaf are also art part pieces inked and stamped .
For pieces 3 and 4 I wanted to show how you can use the Art Part pieces on their own and with their
coordinating stamp sets. So for piece 3 I have used the Wildflower Art parts and Wildflower Art stamp set to create a simple little book cover.
Piece #3
I inked the Art Part flower piece and then stamped the detail over the top using archival ink - cool eh? I added this to some art part pieces with wholes punched in using a Crop-a-Dile and tied with seam binding.
To show how the stamps look great on their own I made and stamped a matching gift bag x
Piece #4
For this piece I used the same Art Part piece with Rock Candy and Distress paint. I also used some patterned paper, more Studio 490 texture paste (white this time) and Wendy Vecchi stencils for a simple but (hope you agree) pretty make.
Well, it would be rude not to embrace my steampunk side and show off the fab Art Part pieces that make these spool pieces so here goes...
Piece #5
I also added cogs Art Parts and the banner and key parts Art Part pieces too, oh, and lots of Idea-ology!
Now for a few other ideas that you may have seen before...
All the shelves are made from scallop art part pieces.
My step x step from a few weeks ago has lots of art parts.
And finally a spool I made a while ago using Art Parts in a different way to the spool piece above...
Well, hope you like my Friday Focus. Now you will need to stock up on Art Parts and you are in luck! As these are in the spotlight they will be discounted by 15% at The Funkie Junkie Boutique through to Thursday, October 31st. So hop on over to the store HERE and grab a few bargains and you too can be creating gifts for friends and family for the coming holiday season.
Have a fun and inky day,
Trace x
