Fairy tag by Cathy N

 Good morning, all Cathy here with a fairy tag for you today. 

                                                                            Stamps Used:

                                                                         20157 the moon

                                                                         18942 Christmas trees large

                                                                        14752 angel/fairy

                                                                         2561 grass and flowers

I started out by blending a blue and green distress ink onto a tag. I then stamped angel/fairy at the bottom and I took a water brush and took away some of the distress ink so I could color in with copic markers.

Next, I stamped the Christmas trees large on the side and the grass and flowers on the bottom. 

After that was done, I stamped the moon on a piece of white cardstock and cut out. 

I also added some sparkle sticker paper to the moon.

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.

I stamped Nosferatu on Kraft cardstock and added some Halloween ephemera to the tag and on top I added washi tape.

Perfect Phase tag by Cathy N

 Cathy here with a tag for you all today. 

I started out with a white tag and made my background with different colors of purple distress ink

I had a lot of ink on my craft sheet, so I ended up making 2 tags. I used the second one to make the tag. I then stamped cross marks background in green and orange all over the background.

Next, I stamped Large Fairy Lady and colored her with copic markers. Before I cut her out, I added a sheet of holographic frosted glitter sticker paper. You can see from the photo the paper has stars on it.

 

Lasty, I added some sticker borders and saying to the tag. 

                                                           Stamps Used:

                                                       18415 Large Fairy Lady

                                                      20615 cross marks background

Tag Tuesday by Cathy N

 Good morning, Cathy here with a tag Tuesday for you.

I started out with some white tags, and I made 2 backgrounds. I used distress ink to make them. I really don't like these tags because they have a smoothness to them that doesn't like to take ink.

                                    

This is not what I had in mind when I started making this tag. I happen to get my grab bag when they had a sale on them today, so of course I had to play with my new stamps. 

I started stamping the Apocalypse and the Bullet Hole randomly around the tag. Next, I stamped the Gas Mask on some white cardstock and colored it with copic markers and cut out. 

I then saw this embossed brick paper that I had left over from another card I had made and thought that would be perfect for an apocalypse tag Tuesday. So, I cut it down, so it looked broken and then added the Gas Mask to the front of it. 

Lastly, I edged it all with some black ink.

Spooky tag by Cathy N

 Good morning to you all, Today I have a Halloween tag for you all. 

To start off this is not the color I was going for. I wanted a purple color. 

As you can see, I have a distress stain dauber in dusty concord. (purple) Granted they are a few years old, but I never would think I would get a different color out of the stain. I said let's just go with it I made a tag and a panel background with it. I decided to go with the tag.

I stamped the Grunge writing background in black distress ink randomly on the background of the tag.  Next, I stamped Vampire boy and the wings from Alis Volat Proprits colored and cut out.

After I did that, I added some Halloween bits to finish the tag.

Not Yours by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all! 

Here is my blog post for this week- In light of what's going on I couldn't help but make this tag.

So, for this tag I used Brushos pigments. I just love them. I used three different reds and a yellow.

I sprinkled  a bit all down the left side with more going out at the top.

Then I spritzed water onto it but not too much. better to add if you need than try to take it off.

I let it soak in a bit then dried with the heat tool. I then stamped the clock upside down.

I then stamped finger lady and open mouth , fussy cut them and painted them with Twinkling H2O's.  I put Glossy Accents on her glasses so they are raised and shiny. Then I went and printed the words from my computer. I found them online. Printed on A transparency.

I took the screaming lady from my stash of paperdolls and attached her on the back. Side note: When you're not feeling super creative, stamp out some images and color/ paint them and put in a box or bag so you have things on hand. Helps when you need a quick card too. I then put the open mouth on the tag and was happy to call it done.

That's all there is to it. Hope you enjoy! Until next time~ stay arty!

Nude Fairy by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all! Happy Spring!

This week I did an art tag- I hope you like it.

So to begin, I stamped the butterfly with staz on ink onto sparkle laminate. Any cold laminate will work. I also stamped the lady on heavy cardstock. 

I cut out the butterfly and the lady. and grabbed a pair of wings from a package. Then I took out my leafing foils and opened it up, don't breathe or it flys everywhere!

Gently pull backing off of wings, I do half at a time and start putting the foil on. Make sure to cover it well. Then do the other half. I use a soft sponge to carefully rub off excess foil.

So you get Gilded sparkle!! Pretty! Then I painted the lady with twinkling H2O's. 

For the background, I used Disstress spray stains and then stamped just the out side edges of  the nature collage stamp all over the tag.

Then she needed some mushrooms to sit on so I made some out of resin and a mould. I painted them with gesso and when that was dry, I painted with the H2O's.

Since the mushrooms were pretty thick, I used two foam squares behind the fairy to help her stand out the best. I also glued the sheer wings before placing her on the foil wings. Add a little moss the mushrooms, glue them on the tag with hot glue, then put her on top and that is it!

I hope you enjoyed my blog post this week...Keep arting!
