Too many options

 Hello everyone, 

Welcome to my blog where today I share another project for AALL & Create. This time I have made a Mixed Media tag.

Here's how I made it:

First I put some texture paste through this stencil. The tag is watercolour paper. 

Next I used these sprays to add colour to the tag. Later on I did tone it down a little by rolling over some white acrylic paint with a brayer. This also makes the texture paste stand out more. 

I then stamped the images I was going to use ready for colouring with my Copic Markers. 

I decided to use some die cuts too but in the end I only used the flowers of the yellow one. 

I then randomly stamped the background.

I glued the cup and the bird on my tag. I cut a slit into the coffee so I could lower the bird 'into the coffee'. I also added the die cut flowers. 

I added some shading under the cup and saucer, around the flowers and under the sentiment strips. That was the tag done! 

I have used :

Die #13 - Bursting Buds by Bipasha Bk

Stencil #137 - Coffee Stains by Bipasha Bk

Stamps:

#642 - Caffeinated by Bipasha Bk

#643 - Hot Drinks by Bipasha Bk

This week at Vera Lane Studio

 Hello everyone, 

and happy Thursday ! Today I have a postcard and an ATC for Vera Lane Studio to show you. 

This postcard is made with "Selfie". I printed, coloured and cut her out. I used a white pen to add the lines to her dress. The background is a mix of ink sprays and white acrylic paint. Of course I added some stencilling and stamping too. 

You'll find 'Selfie' HERE. 

As soon as this Moose Hunt set came out I was in love ! Isn't he fabulous ! I printed, coloured and cut him out. I found this ATC in my stash; it has a gelli print on it. I adhered him and some washi tape on the card and added the sentiment. 

You'll find him HERE.

Go fishing..

Hello everyone,

an happy Thursday to you ! For today's Vera Lane Studio blogpost I have a card and a postcard to share. I have used the new set 'Fisherwoman'.

This card was made with the ready coloured fisherwoman which is also in the set. I just kept it CaS for this one to let the image do the talking ! 

For this postcard I printed and coloured the fish 3 times and glued them onto a postcard that I coloured with spray ink. I stencilled the flowers onto it with white paint. I also added some washitape and a doodle line along the edges. 

You will find the set HERE. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today !

Weirdos

Hello everyone,

It is the first of May today and that means the start of a new challenge over at Country View Challenges. This month's hostess is Monika and she chose "be humorous" as a theme. I have made an art journal page :

I have used the monster stamps from AAL&Create (set#53) designed by Olga Heldwein. Aren't they fun ! You can choose the faces for them too ! I started with model paste through a flower stencil. I then coloured the page with spray inks. After stamping and colouring the monsters I cut them out. I stamped the background with a text stamp and I also stamped the monsters again. The cut out ones were then adhered over the ones on the page. That way it looks perfect even if it isn't. I also added some washi tape for them to stand on and the sentiment is from the same set. It actually says 'wierdo' but I added the 's' from one of the other sentiments. 

Anyway, I have filmed the process of making this and if you are interested you can hop over

She was a wildflower

Hello everyone, 

and welcome to today's UmWow Creative Team post. 

For today's post I have created a tag :

I will try and explain how I made this...

First, on a gessoed tag, I applied Golden's Glass Bead Gel through some sequin waste. 

This is what that looks like :

I then added some spray inks. I used Lindy's Stampgang Sprays. 

Next I added a doily. 

It just adds a little subtle detail I think. I also added some background stamping. I used a little script stamp by VivaLasVegaStamps!

Next I started to work on the chipboard:

I used a green Copic marker to colour the stem and added some gesso to the flowers. I then added some colour with coloured pencils. 

Next I put the whole thing together:

I also added some doodling around the edge and a sentiment. I stamped it on white card stock, inked the edges and matted it on a piece of brown pattern paper. I then adhered it to the tag with dimensional tape.  Lastly I added some lacey ribbon. 

Here are some close-ups... 

 I hope I have inspired you to dust off those chipboards and start using them.. they are so versatile..

I have used only one today :

You'll find it HERE.

Floral set, I used the bluebell. 

Trio of Banksy tags

Hello fellow Stampers,

For my DT post at VivaLasVegaStamps! I have three tags to share with you. I love the VLVS! Banksy stamps and couldn't resist playing with them again. I have also used quite a few other rubber stamps, all VivaLasVegaStamps! You will find a complete list at the bottom of this post.

This is the finished result

Paint tags with gesso. Also gesso a piece of card stock for sentiments if wanted/needed)

When the gesso has dried, stamp the images with Archival ink and heat emboss. I used black embossing powder to get a real black image. 

Randomly glue (I used gel medium)  book text around the images and put a thin coat of gesso over it. Make sure you can still see the text. 

Use a stencil, model paste and a paletknife of old credit card and add more texture to your tag. 

After this has dried (you can use a heat tool) the fun can start. Use different spray inks to colour the tags. I didn't spray; I used a brush as, although the images repel the ink, when drying the ink with a heat tool you might melt some of the liquid into the embossed images leaving light spots. If this happens you can always touch it up with a black marker. 

The last thing you do is stamp the background, use a fine tipped marker to doodle here and there, splatter some white ink (avoiding the images),  adhere your sentiments (if using) and add some ribbon. I also used some plaster bandage for added interest. 

I used the following stamps : 

19041 - Pure imagination

19047 - Dream Big

19424 - Where's my mind

19434 - Banksy Gas Mask Flower Girl

19425 - Banksy Swinging Girl

19433 - Banksy Kissing Cops

19423 - Banksy

19565 - Measuring tape section

19567 - Writing circles background

19572 - Tape X

19571 - Writing triangles

19575 - Stitching 

Thank you so much for stopping by !

I hope you like my tags and have inspired you to pick up some rubber stamps !
