Stay Curious by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone! I made a card for my project today - enjoy-


I stamped the four images using memories dye ink. For the waves I used the surfer wave stamp and inked carefully to not include the surfer dude.  It makes a great splashing wave!

Next I   started to put the colors on. A combination of  spraying and using a paint brush with water. I worked to get the blending right.
I then went on to paint  the white Dr. P.H. Martin bleed proof white onto the waves. I also used A Signo white gel pen. I used a sand ink pad for the color of the beach. I felt the ocean needed more darker blue and I wanted it to blend better so I worked it until I was satisfied. Then added more bleed proof white to waves and water and rock. I dipped a toothbrush in the white and then splattered to get the right look.
Last I stamped the birds from the Banksey Hitchcock stamp, and added the stay curious sticker.
I decided a little sparkle would be a nice finish so I added that too- sadly it doesn't show up on the photos.


And that was it- oh, and I filled in the mermaid skeleton using the signo gel pen. 
Until next time!

I made a cheeky art tag for today....

I sprayed the background with yellow spray stain, added a bit of pink with a wet paint brush all after stamping the lady.

I fussy cut the fainted man. I then colored in the people using a mix of alcohol markers and spray stain as watercolor . I stamped the meooooooow twice in black and taped the cut out of lying man in place.

Last I used a stencil and pan pastels to put the background spots on. I used pink and umber. 
And that is it! fun ,cheeky tag- pun intended!

Frog tag by Cathy N

Today I made a tag for you all.

                  
                                                                    Stamps Used:
                                                             7225 astonished frog
                                                           17545 Grunge writing background

I stared out by stamping the from and coloring it with copic markers and layering it on some shimmer black paper.

Next, I took a tag and trimmed it down and add some distress stain to the background, then stamped it with the background stamp.

After that was dry, I added some stencil to the tag.
