Epiphany Crafts + ClearSnap = Yumm-O!!!

Hello and happy Wednesday greetings to you! 

I'm so excited today to bring you a couple of projects featuring some of my favorite fun things...  Epiphany Crafts and ClearSnap goodness!  Be sure you stop on over at the Epiphany Crafts and ClearSnap blogs to see even more inspiration too!

For these projects I reached for a new collection that I had found by Simple Stories called Baby Steps.  I loved the colors of the line and how classic they are.  Without further delay, here is my layout:

A bit of detail for you:

Techniques:
I base coated my Vintage Settings in Cabana with my Cream acrylic paint.  I did two coats for nice coverage.  I then used my Smooch to obtain the depth of color that I wanted.  I used Molasses, Lettuce and Cape Cod for my Vintage Settings.

I love that this technique allows you so much control to obtain the perfect color match!  You can rub a little of the Smooch off for a more vintage look too!

I then used my Smooch Spritzes on my Martha Stewart doily and it coordinated with this line just perfectly!  I also used them on my plain white ric-rak.  Can you find it?

Techniques Used:

Again, I base coated my Vintage Settings in Cabana with my cream acrylic paint in a few coats. For this card I used Smooch in Mocha for my Vintage Settings.  I also used the Cape Cod smooch on my white star pin.
