Caged by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

Todays project is an art tag,

For this I started with spraying the background with various colors, drying in-between until I got the blend I wanted.

Then I stamped all of my images and fussy cut them out.

I used  the impresslit die for the wings. I also stamped the cage on acetate once. I then Colored all of images. I used guliding wax on the wings. I wiped it on with my finger. Next I spattered on some brown ink and dried it and then I spattered some white ink. I then took my brown ink pad and inked the edges of the tag all around.

I then assembled all the parts together. I used foam tape on all except acetate cage front. I used a glow in the dark eye from my stash. last I stamped the barbed wire.  I painted the cage stand with metallic watercolor paints. That is all for this fun tag,

Month Challenge Inspiration Art Journal pages

Hello Everyone!
Tera here again with some fun inspiration for this months challenge board.  

It feels like ages since I've played in my art journal.  
This piece was super fun, and I plan to journal on them later. :D Some days you just need those pre-made bases for when the moment hits! 

Stamps Used:

Girl with bird cage

Stitching

Writing Circles

Wire rings

Butterfly Specimens

Plate 1455

You can find the challenge Info HERE

I started with dylusions paints, a variety of stencils, and some Tim Holtz washi tape. I used gel pens and markers to add details

Next I stamped my main images ... Which of course begged for more doodling.
(I love these stamps!)

Next I added some of my "art journal-ish" fun stamps (yes I know I use these on almost everything, but what can I say, they are fabulous.... I linked to the whole plate also because if you are like me you will need them all!!! 1455 is one of my all time fav. plates!)

Thank you for looking! I hope you feel inspired to create also!!
