To begin with I cut two of the new Bubbling background dies from the White Heavystock paper. But I didn't use the Chrome cutting plate, I just used my regular old cutting plates and it didn't cut through which is what I was hoping! It just cut through the front so it left the impression or the pattern, but with all the bubbles in place. Many people would have thought it was a fail, but I thought it was perfect! I adhered both pieces to the back panel of the Mini Framed Panels. I put a nice layer of Distress Collage Medium on the panel and then pressed the Bubbling paper into it so it was flat and adhered all over the panel. Then put a thin layer of Collage medium over the top and lightly rubbed it in so it was smooth and there were no brushstrokes.
Spray some water on it and rub the crayon down into all the crevices to make the Bubbling background stand out, then lightly wipe it off, leaving the crayon only in the crevices.
Then I took a piece of black Cardstock the size of the panel. I scored it so that it would be 1/8" smaller all the way around than the inside of the frame to make a mat to go on top of the Bubbling background. The background die doesn't cover the entire inside of the frame as it is a little smaller, so to make it look clean and finished, you need to mat it.
The word tea was cut from the Stretch Alphanumeric lowercase. I cut one from Distress White Heavystock colored with Brushed Corduroy. Then I cut three more from black cardstock. I layered them together with Distress Collage Medium to make the words stand out.
These Cafe Mini Panels are really a straight forward, fairly easy project to complete and will be the perfect addition to a cute tiered tray or coffee area.
All of the new release dies are listed below, as well as the Distress papers and such if you need a place to get them.
Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you enjoy the new Sizzix Chapter 1 dies from Tim Holtz as much as I am.
