T10# 49 Paper Roses

DragonDream Tag It On theme for this week is Paper Roses. This is a tag I have made using this month's free stamp from Craft Stamper.

Method - First of all I cut my tag and stamped the flower down the right edge of the tag using the masking technique with Black Stazon. I stamped another flower on a seperate piece of card to decoupage over the other flowers I coloured the roses with 3 different Tim Holtz distress inks. Worn Lipstick, Victorian Velvet and Dried Marigold. I cut a piece of lace from my stash and a piece of Core'dinations I added buttons to the middle of some of the flowers and a tag with the word secrets smooshed with Dried Marigold and Black Stazon. I added a dragonfly brad from my stash and distressed the edges of the tag with a craft knife finally I added some fibres to the top. Hope you like what I have done - enjoy your Wednesday whatever you do.

Inchies on Tag You're It

This weeks challenge was to add Inchies to the Tag.

Hello this week I enjoyed making this Tag - First of all I cut my tag to size and cut a piece of core colour card in purple I then smooshed the edges of the white card and stuck the purple card to the white. I stamped with a stamping up cowslip stamp and heat embossed it with a holographic embossing powder. The stamped

butterflies are from a Hampton Art - Tapestry stamp 4506 Butterfly Grid stamped in Stazon Iris. The inchie is cut out and stamped with stazon with glossy accents applied to the purple areas and purple glitter added to the glue before it dried.

Butterflies and Words are from Tim Holtz Visual Artistry

Collection. Finished off with a small purple ribbon some gems and some fibres hanging from the top. I hope you like what I have done this week - THANK YOU for visiting my blog and if you want to see more pop over to Tag You're It at weekend Taggers and have a look at the fabulous work in this weeks collection of inspired tags.

Black White and a touch of Gold

This weeks offering for Tag you're it! challenge

Materials and Method:

First of all I cut a piece of White Mount board to size. I then used a Butterfly Kisses stamp to stamp the background in black Stazon. I die cut a bird cage using a Tim Holtz Alterations BIGZ Die from funky foam and made this into a rubber stamp. I stamped the cage onto prepared tag shaped black card with Versafine and embossed it using gold embossing powder. I then cut a second cage from black card and also cut a bird from the same Die plate from gold mirror card. I then embossed the bird and wing with Tim Holtz embossing folder.
Using Black Stazon ink I smooshed over the embossing to bring out the detail

I placed the bird over the embossed cage. I mounted the black bird cage slightly off centre of the embossed cage using foam pads I then placed the wing over the front cage to give it depth.
I added both a gold jewel and a black one on top of each other to make a beady eye.

I added some paper black and White paper flowers and placed a jewel in the middle of each flower. I added some brads to the corners of the black card to look like studs and coloured them with gold marker pen I also added some chain detail with a gold marker pen and went over it with some real wire to make it look like chain.

I hope you like my offering this week I enjoyed using the Die and am quite pleased with the result I got from making the stamp. Thanks for looking I very much appreciate you taking time to leave comments, Have a good week whatever you do I hope you have a crafty time.

Monday's Bit of Madnes

This tag was made for the Tag Your It Theme for this week which is By The Beach - first of all I cut the tag from white mount board used Faded Jeans and Stormy Sky TH distress inks and a few splashes of water to make the sky - water background - using a piece of turquoise organza I pleated it across the tag and stuck it down with PVA. I left it to dry for about an hour stamped a Tanda Stamp Gallion using Stormy sky again and stamped around the edge of the top of the tag with a recent free stamp from Craft Stamper also stamped same stamp 3 times in the Faded Jeans stormy sky and a Marvy Teal ink and glossy accented the shells - I also used real small shells to embellish the foreground and edged the water with stickles star dust. Finally I coloured the foreground with brown Marvy pen and drew in some birds with a fine line pen. I am very pleased with the results. Thanks for visiting my blog.
