You Had me ..... by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

This weeks project is a tag. With Valentines day looming I made art to reflect that. Enjoy!

For this tag I used several distress spray stains. First I stamped the moon. Then  sprayed the yellow on half the moon and down on the left. Then I took Two reds and sprayed all over but in short sprays to get more of a bloody look.

I did it all at the same time and then dried it with my heat tool.

Then I stamped and fussy cut my two characters. I painted them using spray stains and a paint brush.

I stamped the five hearts stamp randomly all over the tag.

I put foam tape on the backs of my characters, and "fluffed" them by bending parts of them so they are more dimensional. Then I placed them down. I used double the tape on the woman so she really stands out. 

it doesn't show well on the screen, but its very dimensional.

Then I stamped the verse on a piece of cardstock, stamped the hearts and foam taped that on. done!

I hope you enjoyed this project today~ until next time, stay crafty!

 Hello art friends!

I have a new card for the blog today- I got the big ben stamp and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with it.....

So to start, I sprayed Squeezed Lemonade spray stain onto a heavyweight cardstock. 

Then I got out my moon mask set and used the large one. after I dried the yellow, I placed the mask down and sprayed salvaged patina and stormy sky and blueprint sketch.

The ink does go under the stencil if you do it too heavy, which I tend to do. But that's okay it will just add to the effect. Then I sprayed a little mustard seed to darken the yellow a bit. After dry, Next I put  the second part of the mask onto the moon and sponged some desert heat oranges through.

Next I put the full moon mask back on the moon and sprayed black soot around all the edges of the card. Then I put the second part of moon mask back on and sprayed with speckled egg to give more depth to the moon craters.

 

I used a paint brush to drag some of the wet black ink into the moon for creepy clouds. Spritzed with water to get the black to run a bit. then dried it and stamped the Big Ben .

Then I got my guys ready, painted and cut out, 3D foam tape on the backs. This is a good time to have some extra stamped images cut out and even colored and ready to go. You can always add more color to fit the project you're doing. I do that when I'm Not feeling project driven but still want to create or use stamps i have or even new ones you're not sure how to use yet.

I found a good font on my computer and made the phrase and inked the paper. I put it on with foam tape. At that point it was done! And that is my blog for today...I hope you enjoyed. Until next time~ stay crafty!

Michele here and I have a HAUNTED card to share with you today.

I've got a couple of layers of stamping on this SCARY card...take a peek at the quick picture tutorials to see how easy it really is.

This is the bloody hand print stamp under a chip ATC from Um Wow Studio to create the window.

This is the wolfman stamp which was fussy cut and popped up.

I used the brick background and tree background to create the house.

The haunted board is also popped up and brings it all together!
