Halloween tag - Zombie brains

Hi everyone,

you may have guessed it, but here is another Halloween inspired project from me. ;-)
This time I have a Frankenstein tag to share with you.

I worked on a tag that is about 3 inch wide and has a torn edge at the bottom. To start the tag I used three colors of Distress Oxide sprays and dried the paper between each layer of color. Background done - it's really a simple one.

For my focal cluster I stamped and heat embossed the blood drops in read. Then I stamped the jar, roughly masked the outside and added Frankensteins head inside. I added some little touches of color with ZIG watercolor pens, but to be honest you have to look very close to see that.

I also stamped "Zombie brains" onto a piece of watercolor paper, tore the edges so that I ended up with a little tag and added more of the Oxide spray to that. With a few stitches I adhered it to the tag itself. Then I just added the large tag to a base with my sewing machine and decorated it with a piece of ribbon.

Stamps used:
Blood Dripping (18961)
Mason Jar (18957)
Frankenstein's Bolts (5842)
Zombie Brains (18955)
All stamps from plate 827

Other material:
- Canson watercolor paper
- black cardstock
- Versafine Claire Ink (nocturne)
- Versamark Ink
- Distress Oxide Ink Sprays (crackling campfire, frayed burlap, cracked pistachio)
- WOW! embossing powder (primary pink robin)
- ZIG real brush watercolor markers
- thread
- ribbon or cheesecloth strip

 
See you soon + happy Halloween!

ATC Trio with Distress Oxide Inks by Susanne

Hi my dear crafty friends.

Susanne here today and I'm sharing a process video for these Artist Trading Cards Trio with the Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks.

I like to play with the small size of ATCs. They are perfect to try new techniques or products. I not only collect these cards, I also use them in art/ junk journals or scrapbooking minis. They can also be a great card topper.


Enjoy the video:

Thank you for stopping by today.
xx Susanne.

Wonderland Tag

Hello everyone! Shanna here again to share and amazing creation with you all! 

I am just in love with Alice in Wonderland and thought to create a tag based on that theme!

I loved creating this tag using a variety of stamps and mixed media techniques. 

I used Alice Reaching - 12681 (Plate 1161) and Mason Jar - 18957 (Plate 827) for the main part of the tag. I used lots of Distress Inks to really grunge the tag up. I also used a Twinkling H2o to add some shimmer as well. 

Then I stamped the Butterfly Specimens - 19415 (Plate 1440) using a light colored ink and Wonderland - 19580 (Plate 1452) to make this tag a Wonderland of an idea to add for a tag collection.
