Elixir of life tag by Cathy N

                                             Good morning all Cathy here with a tag for you.

                                                                 Stamps Used:

                                                              19798 Coffee cup

                                                              19568 double coffee rings

                                                              7603 drink coffee

                                                              20247 grungy strip of stars

I started out by stamping Coffee cup on 3 different papers. I did 1 for the lid 1 for the base and 1 for the band around the coffee cup.

On the band I stamped grungy strip of stars.

I then made a tag from Halloween paper. I was inspired by Dina Wakley new tags. I then stamped double coffee rings around the tag with some brown distress ink. Ater that I stamped drink coffee saying around the sides of the tag. I edged it with the same brown ink, and I added a tag to the top of the tag.

Magical Stamping with Versamark Ink

Are you having a great day? I know I am. I am excited it is my turn to share with you some stamp inspiration. Are you ready to have some fun?

So first off I started with my card base using some Distress Inks.

Once that dried I sprinkled water on to create the ink to create the inky effect. 

Then I gave it a good rub over with the anti static pouch. 

Then I used some versamark to ink the stamp.

I then gently brushed some magical powder over the stamp. 

Now you can stop there and keep going or you can spritz the ink with water and set the magical alive. 

I grabbed some chipboard pieces that had gesso on them and rubbed again with the anti static pouch. 

I then used the versamark ink again to stamp my sentiments into the speech bubbles, covered them with some WOW embossing powder and gave them a good head set. 

Here are some close ups of the cards.

517 - Make Someone Happy

Altered Canvas by Shanna

Hey everyone. Shanna here today to share with you a fun creation. 

I have been wanting to play with this resins I got and had no clue what to do with them. Well I figured that out really quick! What do you think?

I did create a video so check it out. 

I loved using my stamps to create the background of this piece. 

I added some glass beads and glass glitter with a matte gel on some of the corners. 

Of course there is no glass on this but I thought the sentiment stamp Through The Looking Glass - 19353 was fitting. 

The stamp Pair of Butterfly Wings - 19647 went perfectly off the side of the frame too. 

Items Used:

Through The Looking Glass - 19353

Pair of Butterfly Wings - 19647

Stitching Lines -19642

Sawtooth Stitching lines - 19643

Measuring Tape Section - 19565

Double Coffee Rings - 19568

Waybill/Invoice Background - 19416

Feed Your Soul

Hello everyone and welcome to a new and awesome day for inspiration. 

Shanna here with a new art journal spread to share and it was extremely fun to create as I was testing some colors out to see if I would like them. 

I started out with the stamp Writing Circles Background - 19567 stamped it across my spread using the Mustard Seed Distress Paint, and with Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint I used the stamp Writing Triangles - 19571. 

I then splashed some Abandoned Coral Distress Stain on my craft mat, spritzed the puddle with water, and smoothed my pages in the puddles. I also did the same thing using some Mustard Seed Distress Ink. I really love the color scheme of this spread. 

Then I started stamping the rest of my images with some black ink. I started with the Banksy Girl Watering TV Antennae - 19603, then stamped the Three Staples 19576 in a couple places, the

Staple X - 19577 and the Stitching - 19575 too.

I stamped the Double Coffee Rings - 19568 on the opposite side of the journal to help create a little bit of a balance. I stamped my sentiment Feed Your Soul - 18926 on some white paper and cut it up to add it to the journal page using a gel medium. 

I used my Big Brush pen to shadow the sentiment well make it pop and be bolder. 

Thank you so much for stopping by don't forget to keep coming back for more inspiration from the team!

Defined by Stripes

Hello everyone. Shanna here to help give a little inspiration based on the new challenge for March. 

If you would like to watch the video on how I created this art journal piece please check it out HERE!

So I created this art journal page to share with you based on this month's amazing new challenge!

So I couldn't help but use this adorable stamp Sitting Bird - 18889 after I got the background of the pages laid down. 

The background was fun and created by using Distress Inks and water. I also laid down some tissue paper using soft gel medium. Then proceeded to using the stamps Tape - 19572, Double Coffee Rings - 19568, and Writing Triangles - 19571 to create the rest of the background.

I hand wrote my wording this time (I hate my handwriting) but thought it fit the theme! 

I highlighted the Tape - 19572 stamps by coloring them darker with a PITT Pen and adding a white gel pen to it. 

Now don't forget to join our challenge this month!
