Steampunk postcard by Cathy N

Good afternoon, Cathy here with a steampunk postcard.

Stamps used:

Plate 1386 all the gears

18477 round lightbulb (from the same plate)

20165 cross marks background

17545 writing background

I started with making a background with distress oxide inks and watercolor paper.

Then, I stamped cross marks background all over the background.

Next, I stamped all the gears on the top and bottom.

I then made a tag out of some Kraft paper and stamped round lightbulb and then I layered that on black cardstock and made a tag. I edged the Kraft tag with some brown oxide ink and then I stamped writing background around it. Lastly, I added some ephemera around the postcard.

Hello all,

All the projects I could come up with for today, seemed…..wrong. In the face of what happened today in Minneapolis. So I will leave this art tag with soothing color and some hope for a kinder world.

FABULOUS by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a tag for you!

To make the background I blended distress oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry.

I stamped the bottom of the tag for a base for my main images to stand on, and I stamped round the edge of the tag for interest, all in Versafine Clair Purple Delight.

I stamped my main images and sentiment on thick paper, coloured them and cut them out.

I glued the images onto the tag, along with the sentiment.

I scribbled round the sentiment in the same style as the edge of the tag, in black fine liner.

I added some ribbons to finish the tag off.

Stamps Used:

Writing and scribbles collage 20695

Typeset scallop 20163

Whimsical Beaked Guy in Crown 19530

Whimsical Lady Grey 19909

Can I help it 17900

Other Items Used:

Distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry

Versafine Clair ink in Purple Delight

Black Fine Liner

Kuretake Zig Pens

Praise the goddess - by ~Arwen~

Hi Lovelies

Welcome back here :)

My project today is a postcard:

some close-ups:

And that's the way, I created it:

1.) First, I select my motifs and stamp the first. I position the second one beforehand using a mask. This allows me to estimate how much space I'll need.

2.) Now that both images are stamped, I need to trace the right image so that the ceiling extends to the floor. I use my Micron Pen for this.

3.) When it comes to coloring, I first start with the background. For this, I use my handmade watercolor paint.

4.) Next, I'll work on the tablecloth. I'll use a darker color than the background for this. I'll also add some shading.

5.) Now that both pictures are finished coloring, I add masks so I can add a few more spritzes of shimmer spray.

6.) Still missing a text. Instead of a pre-made saying, I decided to use an alphabet. This way, I can formulate my own sentences.

7.) To finish, I stamp some cat paws onto the card with chalk stamp ink. Done!

All stamps I used:

- Skeleton Praying/Begging

- Cat on stand

- Paw Print

- Shadow Alphabet

other supplies:

- Watercolorpaper (Canson)

- Cardstock

- Micron Pen

- handmade watercolors

- VersaFine Clair

- ColorBox Chalk

- Edding Calligraphy Pen

- Zig Pens

- Dylusions Shimmer Spray

- Waterbrush

See ya soon *mwah*

Fairy by Tracy Blackwolf

Hello everyone,

I did a tag today , I hope you get a good laugh.

For the background I used a combo of kaleidacolor inks and distress spray stains.

For the wings I used effect paste-phoenix by Finnabair . Sadly it just doesn’t photograph well. It has a lot of fire and is really pretty.

The final touch was using orange glitter glue on the dragonfly wings. A fun tag.

Dragonfly 9830

Wildflowers 18819

Pigs can fly by Cathy N

Good afternoon, Cathy here with a fun tag I made for you today.

Stamps Used:

4070 side view flying pig

4006 flying pig rear

19563 grunge circles

19391 Big Ben

I started out by making a tag from scrap paper that I had. Then I stamped grunge circles with some distress ink around the tag. I then took some dark brown distress ink and inked the edges of it.

Next, I stamped Big Ben on the bottom and colored it in with copic markers.

Lastly, I stamped the flying pig rear and the side view flying pig on the top of the tag and colored them in with acrylic paint pens. I stamped them again after I was finished with the acrylic pens so you could see them again.
