BLOG.MODERNSURREALIST.COM: Modern Surrealist 2 in 1 Bohemian Tea Cup Magnet for the Sizzix Blog Hop!!!

Modern Surrealist 2 in 1 Bohemian Tea Cup Magnet for the Sizzix Blog Hop!!!

Here's my latest creation for the Sizzix Blog Hop. In case you didn't know, the Blog Hop is a periodic online extravaganza of craftiness all centered around the versatility of the new Sizzix Score Boards dies designed by the fabulous Eileen Hull! A group of designers all come up with unique craft projects using the same Sizzix cutting die. It's a great way to get inspired by the many verastile uses and interpretations of these wonderful dies! There's so much you can do with them! Just "hop" from "blog to blog" of the all designers listed under the photo below to see how!

For this project I designed a Modern Surrealist Bohemian Tea Cup Magnet. Well, actually it's TWO magnets in ONE if you count the teabag! Another cool aspect to this Blog Hop project is the "added challenge" of using Brenda Pinnicks "Color U" Palettes. For this project I chose the Palette #1 with the warmer hues.

I used SO MANY different GREAT materials to make this project including:

Sizzix Teacup Die designed by Eileen Hull, Art Institute Glitter, Art Institute Glitter Glass Beads, Art Institute Glitter Fantasy Film, Art Institute Glitter Designer Dries Clear Adhesive, La Mode and Trendy Buttons by Blumenthal Lansing, Ad Tech High Temp Mini Hot Glue Gun and Multi Temp Glue Sticks, Smooch Pearlized Accent Inks, Mod Podge Dimensional Magic, Glue Glider Pro by Glue Arts, Sequin Trim, Patterned Scrapbook Paper by Klutz, Hot Wax Art Bees Wax Pigments by Kandi, Magnets... and I think that's it! If you have not tried any of the great supplies mentioned above yet, run out and get some for your studio right away!

Click on all the links below to see each designers unique spin on the project! When you're done you may vote for your favorite and enter to win a free giveaway!
For complete details on voting and the giveaway, visit Eileen Hull's Blog.
Happy Blog Hopping!

Marisa, the magnet is a great idea! And two for the price of one! You did a great job with the colors. I'm trying to figure out how you made the clear dots on the front to the teacup- almost looks like a transparency with holes in it?
