summer mornings by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone! 

My project today is an art tag. Early summer mornings is the inspiration. I hope you enjoy.

I started by spraying the tag with water.Then I sprayed on some yellow, then orange , then pink. 

next I did shaded lilac and last salvaged patina. I blended with a paint brush and then dried with a heat tool. 

Next I did all the stamped images with a black versafine ink pad.

I went on to use a white gel pen to make all my white sparkles and highlights on the water and the foliage. I used a glitter pen to make some extra sparkle highlights as well. Last, I used white pan pastel to add the morning mist to the scene. I am really happy with the colors of this one.

Catch a man..... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

I made an art tag for my project on the blog today-enjoy-

I started this tag by stamping the lady with the ax. I inked everything but the ax head, leaving that off so I could stamp the  net instead. Then I painted the images. I used a sparkle gel pen for the net rim and handle and her jewelry.

I then Painted the background using salvaged patina spray stain and old paper oxide spray.

Last I made the quote on transparency from my computer. A fun tag that can be used for a book mark or gift tag or any thing else you want.

Happy Birthday by Tracy Blackwolf

Hello everyone!

Today I made a quick card- great for those older folks!! lol

I stamped the woman first and then made a mask to place over her so I could stamp the cake "behind " her.

Then I stamped the fire around the cake. I used the fire breathing dragon but only used the flames.

I needed more candles so I used candle small to add to cake. Once the ink was dry, I painted the background fist using black disstress spray stain as a water color. I left room for the flames by leaving blank space that I filled in with flame colors. Then I finished painting in everything else.

Last I added the happy birthday sticker. 

I hope you enjoyed this quick funny card.

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!
