Celebrate

Hello. I decided to play along with the sketch over at The Paper Players today.  Here is what I created with it.

I used some digital images for the background panel and tag.  The tag die is from Simon Says Stamp. I used a Copic marker on white satin ribbon to match the colors in the paper.  I used a blue scrap of paper from craft consortium for the middle part.  And the celebrate sentiment stamp is from Tim Holtz.  I also got out my crop-a-dial and set an eyelet into the tag.

To those of you in the US, Happy Independence Day - this year is a big one.  Stay safe and enjoy the festivities with family and friends.

Thanks for stopping by.

Steampunk birthday tag

Hello. Playing in the Monday Simon Says Stamp challenge of steampunk today.

I created the background a while ago and it's been sitting in my stash waiting for me to do something with it. It's made up of antique linen and speckled egg oxide inks. I also added a bit of embossing using one of the Tim Holtz stencils. The fancy baroque one, and also heat embossed it using the speckled egg glaze. 

The steampunk corset is from Inkadinkado. Birthday sentiment is from Papertrey, Ink. Found some cool gears in my stash and adhered it with a brad. Since I had my hardware out, I found a eyelet that matched and used that at the top. Colored the seam binding with antique linen spray stain and tied a bow. Added the dragonfly brad (had to color it black) and then stamped a mini dragonfly on to balance things out. 

As you can see on the bottom photo, the sentiment is also heat embossed over the speckled egg glaze. It came out a bit splotchy, so lesson learned. 

Thanks for stopping by! 

Ginkgo's

Hi everyone. It's time for another challenge over at The House That Stamps Built. This week is our ever popular Anything Goes.

This time around I went with a masculine themed card. I finally unearthed my stash of brads and eyelets and put them to use on this card.  The Ginkgo is stamped on vellum, heat embossed and adhered to a white panel.
