Snowman Tag Duo

Hi there,

I created this Winter Tag Duo using the Gerda Steiner Designs Snowman Friends stamp set:

• cut out two tags from watercolor paper using one of the dies from the My Favorite Things Tag Builder Blueprints 5 set
• stamp the snowmen from the adorable Gerda Steiner Designs Snowman Friends set with Versafine Smokey Gray
• color the images and the background with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens and a damp watercolor brush
• add highlights with a white gel pen
• cut out some Lawn Fawn Stitched Snowflakes from silver glitter paper
• stamp the sentiment from the Gerda Steiner Designs Holiday Friends set onto a strip of Simon Says Stamp Fog cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black and layer a piece of DIY patterned paper (stamped with the My Favorite Things Diagonal Stripes Background and Versafine Onyx Black) underneath
• stamp the sentiment from the Gerda Steiner Designs Snow Angel set directly onto the tag with Versafine Onyx Black
• dye two pieces of seam binding with Distress Stain Tumbled Glass and thread them through the holes of the tags together with some natural twine

Here are pictures of the individual tags:

I hope you got inspired.

Flower Triangle Box

Hi there,

this is my first post as a Design Team Member of Elizabeth Craft Designs and today we are releasing some brand new products in the ModaScrap line:

• cut out the Elizabeth Craft Designs Triangle Box from watercolor paper and cover the whole surface with white gesso
• cut out the Elizabeth Craft Designs Romantic Bouquet from a piece of leftover cardstock and use it as a stencil
• apply texture paste through this flower stencil and let this layer dry thoroughly
• add color using Distress Paints (Salty Ocean, Evergreen Bough)
• add some splatters using watered-down Paper Artsy Fresco Finish Paint Concrete
• assemble the box using Elizabeth Craft Designs Clear Double Sided Adhesive 6mm
• ink up the edges of the box with Distress Ink Evergreen Bough and a Mini Ink Blending Tool
• dye a piece of seam binding with Distress Ink Salty Ocean and use it to close the box
• highlight the raised areas with Prima Marketing Metallique Wax Brushed Iron

Thanks for stopping by.

My Moment ATC

Hi there,

it is time for another Stencil Sunday and the start of a new Mixed Media Challenge over on the STAMPlorations Blog. 

• for this one I also used one of my pre-created ATC backgrounds
• add a thin layer of watered-down gesso
• create a plaid pattern using the ARTplorations Plaid Maker stencil and Distress Oxide Ink (Broken China, Wilted Violet) 
• add some circle shapes with a Derwent Onyx Dark Pencil 
• let some watered-down black acrylic paint drip down from the top of the card and add some dots with a silicone tool
• cut out the intricate CUTplorations Flutter Zen 1 butterfly from watercolor paper and color it with Distress Ink (Spiced Marmalade) and a Mini Ink Blending Tool
• use a piece of thin wire to bring some delicate fabric into some kind of a bow shape and glue the butterfly on top with hot glue
• dye a sticker from the Tim Holtz Big Chat set with Distress Ink (Spiced Marmalade) and add it to the ATC

I hope you got inspired.
