Start Ups: Mixed Media Necklaces

Start Ups Mixed Media Charms

Start Ups Mixed Media Charms

I loved playing with the Start Ups that I received recently.  I started with the Large Tags because I thought they were the perfect size for a necklace pendant.  I haven’t used my Alcohol Inks in a while, so I pulled those out and decided on Greens, Blues and Purples.

The first background I created was a tie dye effect – the alcohol ink has a fluid movement on the Start Ups surface and I almost couldn’t stop layering the colors and watching them blend together!

Tie Dye Butterfly Necklace

I added a chipboard butterfly from K & Company and Making Memories letter stickers to spell the word FLY.

Stamped Mixed Media Charm

For the next background, I dropped Alcohol Ink on the surface of the Start Ups, then blotted off with a paper towel to create a watercolor effect.  I stamped over the background with StazOn Jet Black Ink and set the ink with my Heat Tool.  I added a touch of Starlight Stickles on the dragonfly, the word sticker COURAGE, a flower with gem and a black gingham ribbon compete this mixed media necklace.

Glossy Monogram Charm

The third background was similar to the second, but I sanded the dry alcohol ink to distress the finish.  I then stamped with musical notes and finished with a large monogram M that was painted black and topped with a thick coat of Glossy Accents.

I inked around the edge of each of my Start Ups mixed media charms with black StazOn ink and then set it with my Heat Tool.

Add a jump ring and some ball chain and you are ready to wear your mixed media necklaces – or give them as gifts!
