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,

Hi there,

it's time for our Inspiration Week over at Mennys Bastelshop and this week our topic is "DIY Striped Background". I used the Lawn Fawn Capybaras! stamp set on my project:

• cut out a tag from smooth white cardstock using one of the Mama Elephant Fave Tags
• stamp one of the capybaras and the cake from the Lawn Fawn Capybaras! set with Gina G. Designs Obsidian
• color the image with Ohuhu Markers, add extra shading with Faber-Castell Polychromos pencils and highlights with a white gel pen
• add a striped background made from colored cardstock underneath
• stamp some confetti from the same set with Distress Oxide Ink (Scroched Timber, Antique Linen, Tumbled Glass)
• thread two strands of twine through the hole of the tag

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,
