Vanitas by Dee Adams

Hi every one!

 I wasn't sure I would get anything done this weekend

 

This Tag started out as a square and like all my pieces!!

it developed into something else.

 I have just purchased the Tim Holtz Apothecary stamp

 set so I wanted to play with it.

I sprayed the original square card with scattered straw Distress reinkers, 

mixed with a small amount of water in a mini mister bottle then I followed with 

iced spruce and a mix of mahogany and red brick

I stamped the skull image with versa fine and covered it with clear embossing powder,

which I then heat set.

I had the oriental poppy stamp from PSX, in my stash 

and did the same with this stamp.

I stamped the poppy onto white card twice, spayed them 

with the red brick mix, and cut out.

I the stamped the writing from the Tim 

Holts plate at  the bottom.

Finally I added the bling from my stash to finish off.

I hope you all like this piece. Thank you for taking the time to stop by,

  please feel free to leave a comment or two as I would love 

to hear what you all think of my art.

Happy stamping

Hi everyone how are you all I hope you are enjoying the sunshine

I have been busy with my proper job at the moment

so haven't had time to do much blogging. 

This piece is a mix of the lovely Tim Holtz stamps and some 

la blanche stamps.

I used distress inks in vintage photo scattered straw and

 stormy sky

I used the alterations cogs die to cut out the gears which I 

treated with a mix of embossing powders to create a 

eroded metal look.

A small piece of garden sacking underneath the cogs.

Metal cogs from my stash

The clock from stampers anonymous and the compass

layered on top of each other.

Two tags washed with vintage photo then areas highlighted

 with stormy sky distress inks

Burlap ribbon placed along the bottom. 

Film strip and small bingo fades brushed with treasure gold.

That's all from me! Thank you for taking the time to stop by,

Clocks & Cogs

Hi everyone! I have another piece I would like to share with you tonight 

Card was cut out and Tim Holtz alterations on the edge Die

 was used to cut out the top and bottom.

Distress Inks Vintage Photo, Scattered Straw, Frayed Burlap, 

Peeled Paint, Mowed Lawn and Broken China 

were blended onto the card.

Stampers Anonymous Papillon plate the script stamp 

was stamped randomly over the card

in various colours of distress ink.

I took a small white tag and coloured it with Scattered Straw and

 Vintage photo them I took a wet sponge and washed the tag

 so the colours blended. 

Once dried I used the sponge from the first tag to go around the edges

 to give a hint of green. 

Next I inked up Lablanche Thistle collage and one clocks and cogs with 

black archival ink.

On another piece of card that had been cut with the same die as the first,

 I stamped the flourish from Tim Holtz  plate in iced spruce distress ink. 

Then I gently sponged iced spruce and a small amount

 of scattered straw around the edges of the main card.

 I then blended iced spruce around the edges of 

where the small tag will go.

I got a small paint brush and rubbed it over the broken china ink pad 

then applied it to the inner of the clock faces.

Bingo texture fades numbers were coloured with brass rub on.

small cogs and flourishes were  attached.

Three Brads were fixed down the right hand side.
