Never stop exploring

Hello - playing in the Simon Says Stamp mixed media challenge today.

I used the new Uncharted Mariner with squeezed lemonade for this one. I've had the butterfly stamped up and cut out and in my stash for years and finally put it to use on this one. Stencil from Tim Holtz and I used some of the uncharted mariner glaze on it. Newprint stamp is from fun stampers journey, corners are from Whimsy stamps. The circles are done with a arcrylic round container. Sentiment stamp is from Tim Holtz SA.

Happy Halloween

Hi there. Playing in this weeks Freshly Made Sketch #508 today.  

I used the new Villainous Potion inks on this. I paired with with Kitsch Flamingo and shaded lilac. Also added some VP glaze into the nix too. The spider web is done using Unicorn ink from Hero Arts and a stencil. Deckled die is from Gina Marie Designs.

Halloween sentiment is from the former There she goes company and the bats are from Papertrey, Ink. The tiny spider is a brad (I cut off the ends and glued it on) and the bat is from DCWV. I cut him out three times and after stamping the sentiment and heat embossing it with detail white, I popped him up on an action wobbler. It turned out so cute!

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.
