Mixed media tag - SSC374

Hi everyone! Welcome back to another sketch challenge over at Sunday Stamps. I am the hostess this go around and came up with this.  

I created a mixed media tag using stamps from the following companies.  Texture stamps/Lou Collins, Trinity stamps, Penny Black, Repeat Impressions, and IO.   The dragonfly was created using shrink plastic, Stazon ink, and the dragonfly stamp from Repeat Impressions.  I also used a bit of scrappers floss to tie the ribbon onto the tag. 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you join us.  Link is here.

Natural honey

Hello. I'm playing in the Freshly Made Sketch #700 today.  

The stamp set is from Elizabeth Craft Designs, Every Day Elements from Annette Green, called Honeybee.  The honey comb stamp in the set is used for the squares, and then I heat-embossed the natural honey label. As you can see I also fussy cut another bee and popped it up over the bee on the label.  Added a bit of bling to his wings with a shimmer pen and rock candy glitter. 

I used shrink plastic to create the small organic honey circle and then colored it to match the paper. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Hello everyone. Here is your mid-month reminder about the current challenge going on over at The Flower Challenge blog.  It's a sketch challenge! See sketch below.

Here is another card that I created for the current challenge.

The flower stamp, die and sentiment are from Pink and Main. I water-colored it using Mei Liang watercolors. The dragonfly die is from Stampin Up, however, I made it using shrink plastic and my little pancake maker. I highly recommend that little gadget for doing anything shrink plastic - so much easier than using your heat tool and you don't waste product because it didn't flatten out correctly.

Hi everyone. Playing in the Freshly Made Sketch challenge today. There are so many possibilities with this one and I kept it pretty clean and simple.

The branch is an old rubber wood block stamp from Memory Box. I used Tombow markers to color on the stamp and huffed to get a clean stamped image. The sentiment is from Hampton Arts and the dsp is from Craft Consortium.

Ok - the little bee is from Picket Fence and I used shrink plastic and a mini pancake maker to create it.  I've got to tell you that the $10.00 mini pancake maker (Walmart) is the EASIEST WAY EVER to use shrink plastic.  It's also the quickest in my honest opinion.

Examples of the bees are shown above. So many possibilities. There are a few YouTube videos on this using embossing powders (Marion from Wow is one) and you should check them out. 

Thanks for stopping by.
