Shine!

Hello and welcome to my blog!

Today it´s my turn to share my second project of the "Tags only" challenge at Country View Challenges I made a pretty simple tag.

I used a Gelli printed tag again.

I used a Oldie but Goodie, one of the Silhouetted Women stamps from Dina Waikley. I stamped the woman with embossing ink and heat embossed it with black embossing powder from nuvo.

To make the lady stand out more, I painted the inside of her with white Gesso.

As you can see, some of the lines got lost, so I took a dump cloth to wipe the Gesso from the lines.

Next time I would stamp the silhouette first with black Archival ink, paint the inside and stamp and emboss it after painting. Well, experience!

When I wiped away the Gesso from the embossed parts, I accidentally took away the printed paint, but I think, it´s a happy mistake, I liked it!

Now I took DI festive berries and painted the dress, face and the legs.

For some shading I used DI fired brick.

Next I distressed the edges with DI weathered wood and some black Archival ink.

To finish the tag I printed with Dymo the word shine and added a red rose.

Last I added a red ribbon - done!

Now I hope, you make also a little tag for the challenge. You can win a 20 £ voucher for the shop!

Thank you for your visit today and have a wonderful week.

Butterfly Tag

Hello and welcome to November!

For the challenge "Tags only", hosted from the lovely Jo, at Country View Challenges, I made a pretty simple tag. I took my Gelli Plate and had a little fun session. This is, what came out.

I made some blue prints in different shades of blue first and diecut the beautiful butterflies from Tim Holtz.

Then I spreat out violet, magenta and light blue acrylic paint on my page and printed it on a tag. Then I put some jeans blue acrylic paint in a thin layer on the Gelli plate, put an old blue jeans on top and pulled the print with my tag. I was so very excited how it turned out (so that I forgot to take a photo, sorry).

When the paint was dry, I gave some modeling paste through a stencil randomly to the tag and put it away to dry.

Meanwhile I made my butterflies. I diecut the pieces and glued them together and glued the butterflies down on my tag.

Now I distressed the edges with black Archival ink, printed the words with my Dymo label maker to embellish the tag and added three ribbons in fitting colours at the top hole and that´s it!

I hope you like my tag as much as I do!
