Espresso my Gratitude Tag

Hi there,

we are having the Stamp Tramps November Blog Hop over at Skipping Stones Design and I used some crackle paste on my autumn tag:

• cut out a tag from watercolor paper
• stamp the coffee cup from the Skipping Stones Design Funny Coffee Vol. #1 set with Versafine (Vintage Sepia)
• cover the cup with Masking Fluid from the Molotow Masking Pen
• apply Dreamweaver Crackle embossing paste through the ARTplorations Foiled again Mini stencil
• create a background with Distress Inks (Fossilized Amber, Rusty Hinge, Peeled Paint) and a watercolor brush
• ink up the edges of the tag with Distress Ink (Peeled Paint)
• add splatters with Izink (Topaz)
• remove the Masking Fluid
• stamp a leaf grom the Stampendous Trees and Leaves set onto the cup with Versafine (Vintage Sepia)
• color the cup with Distress Markers and ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens
• color a piece of seam binding with left-over inks
• cut out a tiny tag and one of the Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaves from watercolor paper
• stamp the sentiment from the Skipping Stones Design Funny Coffee Vol. #1 set with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder 
• color the tag with Distress Markers and ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens - the embossing will act as a resist
• color the stitched leaf with Distress Markers
• attach the leaf and the tag to a piece of May Arts Natural Twine and thread the twine and the seam binding through the hole of the tag

Here are close-ups of the cup and the leaf/tag embellishment:

Love you Bunny

Hi there,

It's time for our Make your Mark Challenge over at Addicted to Stamps and More and I just had to play with these adorable stamps from Clearly Besotted Stamps:

• stamp the large bunny and the small bunny from the Clearly Besotted Woodland Kisses stamp set as if they were giving each other a sweet little kiss with Memento (Rich Cocoa) onto a heart cut out with the My Favorite Things Pierced Heart STAX from Neenah Desert Storm Kraft cardstock
• mask the bottom of the small bunny with the Molotow Masking Pen and stamp the stump from the same stamp set with the same ink
• remove the masking
• partly stamp one of the sentiments with Versamark and heat-emboss it with WOW! Bright White Super Fine embossing powder
• create your own enamel hearts by using the heart dies from Avery Elle Geek Love die set; cover them with Versamark and heat-emboss them three times with Zing! Rose embossing powder
• round the corners of a Neenah Desert Storm card base with a 1'' corner rounder
• apply Distress Inks (Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick) through the Scrapberry's Mini Hearts stencil
