Never too old….. by. Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone!

Today I made an art tag for my project. Fall is in the air and that, for me, means Halloween!!

Enjoy the tag.

So for this, I sprayed the tag with antique linen spray stain. Then I put on a bit of lost shadow around the edges. Then a bit of vintage photo. 

Next I stamped the doll and then the candle stamp around the doll. And then the spiders. Next I started to color everything in. I used a paint brush and Distress spray stains for that.

For the white, I used Dr. PH Martins bleed proof white. I added some black soot watered down around the edges of the card o darken it a bit. For the yellow glow around the candle flames, I used yellow pan pastel.

I used some straight pins for a 3D effect in the doll. And for the phrase I used TH chitchat stickers.

Last, I layered the tag onto black cardstock.

Fun and creepy!

Burning candle. 12996

Steampunk postcard by Cathy N

 Good afternoon, Cathy here with a steampunk postcard.

                                                      17545 writing background

I started with making a background with distress oxide inks and watercolor paper.

 

Then, I stamped cross marks background all over the background.

Next, I stamped all the gears on the top and bottom.

I then made a tag out of some Kraft paper and stamped round lightbulb and then I layered that on black cardstock and made a tag. I edged the Kraft tag with some brown oxide ink and then I stamped writing background around it. Lastly, I added some ephemera around the postcard.

 

Hope. By. Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello all,

All the projects I could come up with for today, seemed…..wrong. In the face of what happened today in Minneapolis. So I will leave this art tag with soothing color and some hope for a kinder world.

FABULOUS by Fran Chalmers

Hi everyone!

Today I have made a tag for you!

 

 To make the background I blended distress oxides in Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade and Picked Raspberry.

I stamped the bottom of the tag for a base for my main images to stand on, and I stamped round the edge of the tag for interest, all in Versafine Clair Purple Delight.

I stamped my main images and sentiment on thick paper, coloured them and cut them out.

I glued the images onto the tag, along with the sentiment.

I scribbled round the sentiment in the same style as the edge of the tag, in black fine liner.

I added some ribbons to finish the tag off.

 Stamps Used:

Writing and scribbles collage 20695

Typeset scallop 20163

Whimsical Beaked Guy in Crown 19530

Whimsical Lady Grey 19909

Can I help it 17900

Other Items Used:

Distress inks in Squeezed Lemonade, Spiced Marmalade, Picked Raspberry

Versafine Clair ink in Purple Delight

Black Fine Liner

Kuretake Zig Pens

Praise the goddess - by ~*Arwen*~

 Hi Lovelies 

 

Welcome back here :)

 My project today is a postcard:

 

 some close-ups:

 

And that's the way, I created it:

 1.) First, I select my motifs and stamp the first. I position the second one beforehand using a mask. This allows me to estimate how much space I'll need.

 

 2.) Now that both images are stamped, I need to trace the right image so that the ceiling extends to the floor. I use my Micron Pen for this.

 

 3.) When it comes to coloring, I first start with the background. For this, I use my handmade watercolor paint.

 

4.) Next, I'll work on the tablecloth. I'll use a darker color than the background for this. I'll also add some shading.

5.) Now that both pictures are finished coloring, I add masks so I can add a few more spritzes of shimmer spray.

 

 6.) Still missing a text. Instead of a pre-made saying, I decided to use an alphabet. This way, I can formulate my own sentences.

 

 7.) To finish, I stamp some cat paws onto the card with chalk stamp ink. Done!

 

All stamps I used:

- Skeleton Praying/Begging

- Cat on stand

- Paw Print

- Shadow Alphabet

 

other supplies:

-  Watercolorpaper (Canson)

- Cardstock

- Micron Pen

- handmade watercolors

- VersaFine Clair

- ColorBox Chalk

- Edding Calligraphy Pen

- Zig Pens 

- Dylusions Shimmer Spray 

- Waterbrush 

 

See ya soon *mwah*

 

 

Fairy by Tracy Blackwolf

 Hello everyone,

I did a tag today , I hope you get a good laugh.

For the background I used a combo of kaleidacolor inks and distress spray stains.

For the wings I used effect paste-phoenix by Finnabair . Sadly it just doesn’t photograph well. It has a lot of fire and is really pretty.

The final touch was using orange glitter glue on the dragonfly wings. A fun tag.

Large fairy  18493

I may be fat…. 147

Dragonfly     9830

Wildflowers    18819

Grassy dune.     9871

Pigs can fly by Cathy N

 Good afternoon, Cathy here with a fun tag I made for you today.

 

                                                                      Stamps Used:

                                                            4070 side view flying pig

                                                             19391 Big Ben

I started out by making a tag from scrap paper that I had. Then I stamped grunge circles with some distress ink around the tag. I then took some dark brown distress ink and inked the edges of it.

Next, I stamped Big Ben on the bottom and colored it in with copic markers. 

Lastly, I stamped the flying pig rear and the side view flying pig on the top of the tag and colored them in with acrylic paint pens. I stamped them again after I was finished with the acrylic pens so you could see them again.
