Tag Your It

Whilst blog hopping this morning I came across a new challenge blog Weekend Taggers. The first challenge is "shades of blue".

I cut my card to 6" x 3" and cut the corners off the top to make a tag shape. I used my distress ink pads (broken china and weathered wood) to create the background. I then used one of my Paperbag Studio stamps and stamped it using a versamark ink pad and then sprinkled the image with broken china distress embossing powder and heat set it. I then added a blue button flower in the girls hair and put some blue ribbon across the tag close to the bottom and added a shiny gem flower with a blue centre. Finally I added a blue eyelet and some blue fibres.

Sunday Stampers - Week 11

Hels set this weeks Sunday Stampers challenge which this week is "Travel/Journey/ Transport. Basically, you can use any kind of stamp that features a mode of transport in or on which you could make a journey! This could be a train, car, hot air balloon, flying, sailing, biking or even rollerskating!!" Well I don't have any transport stamps so had to have a good think about this one .... I came up with this card as I figured that walking is a form of transport - hope this is okay.

I used my alcohol inks to make my background onto which I stamped my image. I used latte, ginger and caramel alcohol inks and then added just a touch of demin and then dabbed with a bit of ink out of my gold krylon pen. Once I was happy with the look of my background I spritzed it with some gold glimmer mist. I then stamped the Papgerbag Studio's stamp onto the background using an adirondack black ink pad. I then layered the image onto some green card, gold card and then some cream card and finally mounted this onto a light green A6 card. I added a little grungeboard heart which I coloured in gold using my krylon pen.
