Scraps of Darkness Blue Skies and Sunshine Tags

Hello Friends...

I'm back again with another project from the Scraps of Darkness' Blue Skies and Sunshine Kit.

I decided to make a set of tags.

I fell in love with those scrabble tiles and couldn't want to use them.

Here are the tags.

I loved using the chippies that came in the kit and the yellow doily.

Below are some close ups of both tags.

Here you can see how I started the background. I mixed some blue paint in with some modeling paste and then stenciled it on.

Here below you can see a few different angles.

 I love adding cheesecloth and that yellow doily.

 A butterfly along with the glitter glass.

 Another few angles and a few flowers.

 I painted the Blue Fern chipboard. It was so pretty.

 I went crazy with the splaters... I did white, yellow and black.

 Wasn't that neat the metal piece.

Thank you so much for looking. You can go in so many directions with this kit.

Make sure to check out the store because we DO have some of the add on's still available.
Check out all the available goodies here: Scraps of Darkness.

Another layout using the January Botanique Kit

Here is another layout I made using the January Kit Botanique. You can find many products and kits here at the Scraps of Darkness Store.






This picture is of my wonderful nephew Bryce! Wasn't he looking dapper!! I love the woodsy feel of the page with the garden of flowers at the bottom.

Here are a few closeups.... I love stencil work... here you can see the stencil from Stencil Girl that is under the photo and peeks out of the top.

I used a little cheesecloth  and some beautiful chipboard.

Below I used the new metal works from Ken Oliver. I think that is so cool.

Thanks for looking!! Remember to join us over on Facebook and show us your work with the kits.

Sketch of the Month for Scraps of Darkness

One of our Design Team members designed a sketch for us this month.

I am using the Botanique Kit... filled with Prima, Blue Fern, Graphic 45, and some Ken Oliver products. Check out other products and kit add ons here : Scraps of Darkness

Here is my take on her sketch. I just had to use these photos of my niece. Her and her daddy planted their own flower garden. She loved it.

Here are some close ups:

Here you can see I used some cheese cloths... a little bit of stencil work and paint splatters.

January Kit for Scraps of Darkness "Botanique"

Here in January we have the gorgeous Graphic 45 papers and flowers from Prima and Petaloo. There are many gorgeous elements in this months kit.



You can take a look at the kit and the add on's here at our store: Scraps of Darkness.

I made a set of 3 tags.

Here are the tags:

Below I will show you close ups and from the base up what I did.
Here I layered a piece of Graphic 45 darker in color and then a lighter green from the Graphic 45 on top. I distressed the edges and inked them in green. I watered down the gesso to give a light whitewash on the tag.

Here you can see I used some sprays  and let them drip. I also used some archival ink and used some Prima stamps to accent the tags.

Here you can see I used some modeling paste and then sprayed some ink and then spritzed it with water to get it to trickle around.

 Here I used some filler beads to lightly decorate the modeling paste.

Here are some close ups of my tags. I did sprinkle some paste on the tops of the flowers. Here I used a Heidi Swapp die: lovely. I used the Graphic 45 paper.

 In the above and below you can see I used some some thread to give accents.

Here you can see the beautiful doily I used in the corner. I tucked in some flowers around the larger flowers.

Here you can see more stamping.

 In the picture above and below you can see I used a blue piece and below a red piece in the center of the doily. I also used a green piece on the third tag.

Thanks for looking and as always...

Happy Scrappn.

Doll Tag Swap for Scraps of Darkness

Hello crafty friends, 
I'm back with a tag I made for the Scraps of Darkness Doll Tag Swap.  I loved using my Julie Nutting Mixed Media Doll Stamp -Mindy.
This beauty is going to Sarah R in Canada.
I actually used two tags and cut them to make one oversized tag. I edged the tag with some paint and then layered on some papers and die cuts. I used a few embellishments in the flower, wood shape and fancy leaf. 

You'll be able to find the products that I labeled in the Scraps of Darkness Store.

Here's the my cutie pie Mindy tag:
I started off stamping my doll stamp with some archival ink and put on the wonderful paper from Blue Fern Studios Serendipity line - Contemplation. You can find the paper I used for my doll here.

and here are some close ups starting with the gorgeous Prima flowers which can be found here. They are called Prima Flowers - Slate:

Here you can see the background paper I used from Blue Fern Studio Serendipity Line -Reminisce paper. As you can see I went around the edges with the Prima Art Alchemey Paint.

I used some Prima dies to pop out of the top and bottom under the paper.

Here you can see the BoBunny Kraft Wood Shapes. I chose to leave it in its natural state.

Another shot of the BoBunny Kraft Wood Shapes coming out of the top of the vase.

Here you can see the purple liquid pearls and Waterfall stickles I used on her dress. I also used some pink stickles on her headband.

Here you can see I used some Waterfall Stickles and some bling from my stash to dress up her shoes.

Along the edges of the tag I used Nuvo Crystal Drops- Metallic Bright Gold and  Prima Art Alchemy Acrylic Paint:  Opal Magic Green Gold 

Here is another look at the full tag including some ribbon from my stash.
