Hello Snail Tag

Hi there,

I created this sweet Snail Tag for the Karten-Kunst Blog:

  • cut out one of the Karten-Kunst Tags from smooth white cardstock
  • stamp the snail from the Karten-Kunst Ein schneller Gruß set with Lawn Fawn Jet Black
  • stamp the sentiment from the Karten-Kunst Textrahmen Worte 2 set with that same black ink
  • color the image and the background with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
  • thread two strands of twine through the hole of the tag

Have a wonderful day.

Hugs,

Make each Day your Masterpiece

Hi there,

it is time for our monthly Anything Goes Challenge over on the STAMPlorations Blog and this is my creation:

  • cut out one of the CUTplorations Stitched Tags from watercolor paper
  • glue on a picture of mountains and trees with multi medium
  • add some white gesso to let the picture appear to be more in the background
  • apply some texture paste through the ARTplorations Flair slimline stencil
  • add some color using a brown and turquoise Stabilo Woody and Ecoline Liquid Watercolor in gold
  • apply brown Stabilo All pencil at the edges of the tag
  • alter some corrugated cardboard with the same colors and dye a piece of cheesecloth with Distress Ink Ground Espresso
  • stamp the sentiment from the STAMPlorations Softly set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
  • ink up the edges of the sentiment strip with that same brown Distress Ink used to dye the cheesecloth
  • thread torn Sari Silk Ribbon through the hole of the tag

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
