Peeking.... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all!

This cool weather is really giving the feel of fall- So Is my project this week....enjoy..

For this tag, I used the distress spray stains Dried marigold and spiced marmalade for the background. Spray the color on dry it, drip water on, dry a bit, dab off with a paper towel. repeat until satisfied. Stamp images and fussy cut.

I colored my images and stamped the spider on web line across the tag.

I glued gold holographic stars across the tag for some whimsey. Then I assembled the girl with wings and glued down. Then I added glitter glue to her horns, eyes and wings. I also put it on the web line.

" Fluff " the wings by bending them gently at  the base. For the finish, I wiped my black ink pad around the edge of the tag. 

Hope you enjoyed!

Dorthy..... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

Today I have a very quick tag art to share. With all the stores having Halloween in, I was inspired.

I sprayed the tag with Crackling campfire and marigold and speckled egg spray stains. I  Stamped the horned face, added spray stains with a paint brush for highlights in hair and  used a white gel pen on her eyes. I stamped the spiders and added a sparkle to them using a glitter gel pen. For the finish, I used a stick verbage from a Halloween pack. Finally, I rubbed the black ink pad around the edges of the tag for a distress look.

Radioactive Trio of ATC Cards

Happy Wednesday!

Tina here today with my first Viva Las Vegastamps project post! For my first project, I thought I'd create one of my favorite types of projects, a trio of ATC cards.  I love creating in three's and ATC cards are the perfect match.

When creating a trio of ATC cards, I love to repeat certain elements and design features for a cohesive look.  To create the cohesive theme, I used the following stamps:

Crackle Background  

Whimsical Face with Horns

For the background of each card, I randomly applied gesso, then heat embossed with white embossing powder.  For a splash of color, I sprayed several shades of spray mist, letting me mix and mingle.  Instant background!

For my face element, I stamped the image on white glossy cardstock, then sprayed with a white shimmer spray, just for an added element.

  Now that I've created a common theme, I embellish each card with similiar, yet different elements.  I may either use the same element in different colors, or different elements in similiar colors.  I chose the later for this trio.

 I used red molded resin casts, gold metallic pieces, and white painted chipboard.  Even though the individual pieces are different, there is still a cohesive look due to the background and face elements.

  
 As an added design element, I stamped words for the faces and added them to 2 of the cards.  

Word Stamps used:

Radioactive

Biohazard

 And just like that, you have a trio of ATC works of Art!

 I hope you enjoyed my trio of cards!  Here's to a wonderful Wednesday and beautiful week!

Mixed Media Notecard

Hi everybody! Today I want to show you how I made this 4" x 6" mixed media notecard. I use these kind of cards in my art journals, planners, layouts or sometimes as a postcard.

Step 1: I started with some patterned papers (these are from DCWV). The stripes on top have a great texture. I adhered them with Gel Medium.

 Step 2: I added a thin layer of gesso on top.

Step 3: I used a stencil from The Crafter's Workshop and modeling paste to create some texture. After the paste was dry it was time for the first layer of color. I used the Marabu Art Sprays "lemon" and "chilli". These are acrylic inks so they are waterproof when they are dry.

Step 4: I used more of the Art Sprays. This time I took "raspberry".

Step 5: I added some more gesso with my fingers. For some more interest in the background I used the lace borders from the "Lace Background" stamp. They are stamped with Memento Luxe "Love Letter".

Step 6: I used Viva Decor Inka Gold "Aquamarine" for the color splatters and the "Number Strip " stamp for more texture.

Step 7: Now it was time to prepare the card toppers. I used the "Wanderlust" and "Whimisical Face with Horns" stamps. The borders are drawn by hand with a black PITT Artist Pen on top of the "Dictionary Page" stamp. To give the borders a little bit of color I sprinkled some "Aquamarine" Inka Gold and some of the "raspberry" color on top of them.

Step 8: The stamped impressions were added to the card with 3d foam pads. Before I did that I used some black gesso on the background for more contrast. For the perfect finish I added some doodling with a white and black uniPOSCA marker.

Thanks for stopping by today, Susanne.
