A Couple of Tags

I used oxides on the background, added a piece of fabric which had previously been stamped with spikey haired boy by Teesha Moore which I machine stitched onto the tag. I added some of Seth Stamps from the rotary set in seedless preserve oxide.

I made this tag as Version Scrap is on this weekend, and four years ago I was lucky enough to attend the show and then have a day sight seeing. The Eiffel Tower was ticked off the list of places to visit.

Tags & Atcs

Had a play with some backgrounds today and made these tags. I coloured the images with my zig pens which I haven't used for a while.

A couple more with Lynn Perrella Paperartsy stamps and a compass stencil I bought ages ago but hadn't used until now.

And finally a couple of Atc's. I cut the Teesha Moore boy with the hair image in half and used one for each atc.

Face Your Fears

Using the fabulous ARTZONE stencils designed by Deb Wainwright I created this piece. The background has been coloured with red, orange and yellow Decoart premium acrylics applied with a babywipe. I used carbon black through the heiroglyphics stencils. I wanted to show that you don't have to use it with an egyptian theme for it to work. Hence the Teesha Moore image and the words.

All the stencils (and more) can be found in Debs online shop here. If you get chance, please pay a visit. They retail at £5.75 and are excellent value. They are made from a very robust material and because of this they are very to use and also easy to clean. They are also very versatile as they can be used either way, which you will see in my next post.

Mini Die Passport Book by Eileen Hull

Chris kindly sent me the pieces from the Eileen Hull, Passport Book die cut to make like a mini journal. She also sent assembly instructions too, which was very helpful!

 I thought I'd crack open my new to me DecoArt premium acrylic paints.

Then I used them to create the backgrounds for the inside pages and the cover.

And these are the other sides. The bottom two pages were black, so it's covered them pretty well.

Then I got some bits and bobs out to make some marks with the black paint. I used the white from the DecoArt chalky range. I didn't get the white or buff in the premium range - yet!

So I did a bit of stenciling and mark making to further decorate the pages and covers.

And this is my front cover with my favourite stamp of all time on the front, even though I don't own him yet, but I'm still trying to get my hands on him.

And this is the back cover.

A couple of the inside pages.

And a couple more.

These are the middle middle pages.

And a couple more.

And another couple.

The inside cover and the first page.

And finally the front and back covers and the spine.

I also treated myself to a couple of stamps

And this is a gorgeous gift that I was given by Lin and Chris. The decoration is felted and the little tag to match is superb. Want to have a go at this myself.

This was the fab bag I was given the above fab bag in, together with a little pack of vintage embellishments. Thanks ladies, much appreciated.
