A Tag or Two

Morning everyone, a warm Sunny start to the day here, ooooo so lovely to be able to say that I can tell you after all the rain and cold days. Off out with my Son for the day, being chauffeur driven about, so fine i can tell you.   Stop off on way home at craft shop in Oldmeldrum  and in past my gorgeous grandkids.Perfect ending to my day.

Tags, just having a play about using different stamps and designs seeing what works and what doesn't and hopefully won't repeat the mistakes again lol!

Child's Play

 The painting and the mess I created around me, yes!

 Afternoon, it's freezing here today, wind howling and hailstone showers on and off all morning so where am I! All cosy in my craft room, best place I think. The other day I said I was off to have a play with Acrylic paints, well the first attempt went well till I got to the stamping part and all went wrong so into the bin and start again. This is my first attempt, well finished one. Not sure I accomplished the effects your supposed to but it's nnalorac style lol!
First I cut a tag from a piece of Linen card. Painted it with Gesso. Then the fun part. Used Martha Stewart Acrylic paints, various colours starting from dark blue through to Linen White. Paint brush in hand, a dab here, a dab there. Dried in between coats finishing with Metallic Yellow Gold.
Using Staz On, I inked up the Butterfly from Hero Arts Antique Engraving stamp set, well used this one, such a lovely set to have in your stamp collection and sentiment from Live Life set. I then dabbed some Linen White to enhance the butterflies. Added some Pearl coloured pearls to finish.

The flower I made from Linen card sprayed with Cloud Blue Acrylic paint diluted in water, crunched up, dried then cut out with Tim Holtz Tattered Florals. Rolled and pinched here and there, a dusting of Antique Linen from TH and added pearl brad to centre. Finished off with cream lace, and bow.

Kiss from a Rose!

Last of my sample creations for Simply Create this month. Think this is my favourite. Love the vintage feel to it and think it looks great against the dark blue. Mmnn, just had a thought, could mount the tag onto  dark blue and turn it into a card. or maybe not!!  Made the roses by stamping out the images from the Hero Arts Dots & Flowers set using white card stock.Cut out, seperated off one layer and using the hairy side( shame, not visible from the photo but very effective) inked with TH Faded Jeans. Rolled the petals in, glued alltogether and shaped. Dusted with Glamour Dust and finished off with a pearl to the centre. The tag is from Marrianne Creatables, again white Linen card stock, stamped with the Dots & Flowers and HA Grid stamp and embossed with clear embossing powder. Inked edges with one of the browns from TH, can't remember which one now. Leaves cut from stamps set and same technique applied as roses. Sentiment from TH 'Live Life'.
