CIP - Mini Album Dangle Charm

Hi CIP followers!  I have the dangle charm I've made to go with the mini album I shared in last week's blog hop (CIP and GJS).  I've used the new Resinesence (CIP UV Resin) in the bottle cap, and dyed some seam binding in the Sky Blue shimmer paint to tie with some brown ribbon at the top.  I adhered the picture, added the resin, and then punched holes in the bottle cap.  *Note - Punching the holes after letting the resin set in the sun made it crack from the pressure.  While I actually redid it (punching the holes first) I decided that I really loved the cracks in the original and decided to use that bottle cap.  In the close-up you can see the dangle charm attached to the mini album.  Each of the CIP items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.  
Here is a closer look at the CIP products that I've used:

CIP - Art Journal - Deep Blue Sea

Hi CIP followers!  I'm sharing an art journal page with you today where I've used lots of shimmery CIP colors with my doodles.  The Rose Quartz (between lettering), Sea Foam (between lettering), and Sapphire (background) have all been thinned with water for more of a water color effect.  The other paints I've used in this project are Blue Ice, Copper, Antique Copper, Antique Gold, Buttercup and Garnet.  Each of these items can be found in the Creative Inspirations Paint store.
Here is a better look at the Buttercup tail and background colors:
