Hi there crafty friends! Today I am sharing one of the projects that I made for the latest Tim Holtz Idea-ology release. I created this colorful tray inspired by the Advert Vignette panel used on the bottom of this tray to make a box inspired by painting supplies. I wanted to create a bunch of colorful bottles of paint to add to this project. Let me walk you through the basics…all supplies are listed at the bottom of the post : )
To begin, I took my Vignette Tray and painted the entire thing with Black Soot DIstress Paint and lightly sanded it. When the paint was dry, I lined the inside of the box with the beautiful marbled looking paper from the Backdrops 1 paper pack, adhering it with Distress Collage Medium (Matte). Once the paper was adhered, I built out the bottom of the tray. I added the Advert Vignette, which fit perfectly in this box, adding some layers of chipboard behind it to pop it out. I added a piece of Etcetera Pinked Trims to the top of my panel and adhered some Hardware Heads directly to the panel.
The next thing I did was create the colorful bottles, I wanted them to have the look of liquid, but not be liquid and spill everywhere. I got the idea for using resin from miniature dollhouse drink bottles on Pinterest. To create the bottles, I painted each one with a thin layer of the Distress Matte Medium and let them dry. I mixed up some resin (per the package instructions and poured a little into 7 tiny plastic cups. To color the resin, I added the tiniest drop of Distress Paint to each cup by picking up the paint with the end of a wooden toothpick and stirring it in. I poured each color into a different bottle and let it dry. To get the corks to stay on, I dipped the bottom of each cork into the corresponding resin color and put into the top of the bottle to dry and harden. To finish the bottles I added different numbers: some Remnant Rubs, some Clippings stickers and some Label Stickers with Remnant Rubs.
Once the bottles were put into place, I wanted to create a focal element for the tray. I embossed one of the Lace Baseboard Frames with Broken China Distress Embossing Glaze, and backed it with a piece of pattered paper. I added a Paper Doll, some Clippings stickers, one of the new Engraving Layers, and a Mini Flair. I topped the tag with a Factory Tag where I had colored in the letters with a Picket Fence Distress Crayons. I used two long fasteners to attach the tag. I popped the frame up on tiny wooden blocks and adhered the frame to the inside of the box. Finally, I added a knob from the Mini Hardware to the top of the box. I hope you enjoyed this colorful painty project. I really like how the Laboratory and Corked Vials turned out, and can't wait to try them out on future projects.
