Christmas Tags

Hi everyone, every year Bee Crafty share 24 Tags of Christmas. Today I thought I would share the 6 that I made for this year. They are all made on Ranger mixed media tags.

For my first tag, I have used the Art Stamps Robin stamp set. I created the background by blending Antique Linen distress oxide over the tag after I had added a piece of old music manuscript down the right hand side. I blended gathered twigs distress oxide through the text and distressed diamonds inkables. I added a puece of ribbon diagonally across the tag before mounting it on brown card. I coloured the Robin with watercolour pencils and cut him out before gluing him to the tag. I added more ribbon by stapling it over the hole in the tag.

For my second tag, I began by rubbing the festive berries distress oxide ink pad over the Fernando big one. I spritzed this lightly with water then pressed it ink side down on to my tag. I left this to dry, then stamped the word baubleicious multiple times using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. I stamped the bauble and coloured with festive berries and fossilised amber distress oxide. After cutting it out I used foam tape to add it to the tag. I finished by adding red sequins.

My third tag was created by blending twisted citron distress oxide over it and then spritzing with twisted citron distress spritzer. When this had dried I used Versafine Clair rainforest ink to stamp the holly branch from the XL Poinsettia stamp set. I coloured them with mowed lawn distress and added small red flat back pearls to the berries. To finish I stamped the sentiment with rainforest Versafine Clair, using the second and third generation ink on it to add the lighter versions to the tag. I added some Christmas coloured ribbon.

For my fourth tag, I blended festive berries distress oxide over the tag, making the edges darker. I then stamped the small Christmas pudding, from the Christmas Tree stamp set, several times onto the tag using Versafine Clair nocturne. On separate card I stamped the gingerbread man, from the Christmas pudding stamp set, twice, coloured him with pencil crayons and a white, red and black pen. After cutting them out I used foam tape to glue them to the tag. I added several steands of red bakers twine.

For my fifth tag, I began by using the Horizon 2 Skyline inkable with stormy sky distress oxide to create a background.  I used a quick glue pen to draw along the edges of each horizon line and added silver glitter. I added the strip of snowflakes and the large single snowflake from the Yuletide transparency print sheet. I added a sentiment from the Snowflakes XL stamp set (sadly now discontinued). Finally I added a puece of blue and silver ribbon.

For my final tag, I blended peacock feathers distress oxide over the tag. I then added the Winter words text from the Yuletide transparency Prints sheet over the bottom of the tag. I used the snowflake dinkable from set 4 with texture paste over the top half of the tag. On separate card I stamped the journaling girl Warm and coloured her with distress watercolour pencils. I cut her out and used foam tape to add her to the tag. I stamped the sentiment, cut it out and edged with peacock feathers distress oxide and stuck it to the tag. I finished with some blue fibres.

Quiet Days

Hi everyone today I'm sharing an art journal page created using Stamperia's Quiet Days release.

To begin I stuck the washi background piece to a page in my journal. 

I added gathered twigs distress oxide around the edge using a blending tool.

I also spritzed the page with fossilised amber distress spritzer.

Finally I chose the ephemera I wanted to use from the washi pad, rub on kit and sticker pages. I stuck these to the page.

Be-leaf in your self

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing an art journal page created using two sets of stamps that I bought from Personal Impressions and mixed them with some Shady Designs stamps .

To begin I stamped the main image,  from the Postcard, Leaves, Flowers and Post Mark stamp set, directly on to a page in my 5 x 5 inch journal using Versafine Clair nocturne ink. 

Next, I added three circles and three of the lines and circles from the Blooming Circle stamp set.

Then I coloured around the image using the lavender woodless watercolour pencil. I used a wet paintbrush to blend the ink out from the image.

Next, using a wet paintbrush I took colour from the tip of purple watercolour pencil and added a drop shadow to the image.

I then coloured the circles and stamp with the yellow watercolour pencil and blended it out with a damp paintbrush. 

On separate card,  I stamped the same image and some of the flowers and leaves from the Blooming Circle stamp set. I coloured them with the watercolour pencils and cut them out.

I then used matte medium to adhere them to the page.

Finally I stamped and cut out the sentiment.  I edged it with pink ink and added it to the page.
