Art Tag

Hi everyone, I hope you are all enjoying the summer and making the most of the 

lovely weather we have been having.

Today I bring you a tag which has been coloured,

blended distress inks.

Spiced Marmalade, Rusty hinge, Broken china and Faded jeans,

were all blended off a craft mat onto a manilla tag.

Metallic ferro from viva deco was used through a CW stencil.

Black card was put through a Tim Holtz die.

taking a white pen i wrote butterflies on the art die cut card. mainly to cover

as the glue had got onto the front of the die cut.

I stamped the Tim Holtz stamps on the bottom and the small 

butterfly's up the left hand side of the tag.

On a separate piece of card I restamped the butterfly and embossed it.

I glued the two bits over the tag and highlighted with treasure

gold.

For the main body of the butterfly I used beads from my stash. 

Well that's it for today. Thank you for reading through I would love to read your

 thoughts on my work so please don't be shy and as I am house 

bound at the moment it will give me something to do and

 I could pop over and visit your blog's.

Gothic Lady

Hi everyone hope you are all well I have been trawling all 

the blogs reading up and came across one 

on the Paperartsy blog.

It was by the very talented Lisbeth using the "peeled paint" 

technique with fresco Finish paints.

Firstly I put grunge paste through a stencil and dried it

with my heat gun. Then I coloured it in with

 oil pastilles.   

Next using Lynne Perrella Stamps, Vasaline, fresco finish Paint

and Stazon ink. 

Grunge paste through a stencil.

Lots of treasure gold.

Lots of embellishments from my stash.

Star shell buttons.

I have just noticed that the bead under the ornamental triangle

had slipped so sorry for that!

I plaited loosely a brass chain and fabric to make the 

rope to hang it from.

I hope you have all enjoyed this piece please leave me your comments as I enjoy reading

 them and receiving your feedback.

Tim's clasic's butterflies

Hi everyone I thought I would try blogging on the move

We are  on our way to Cornwall and as usual Nick 

Has managed to miss the turning of to Salsbury 

and we are now heading to Southampton 

Well I did this card in the week I took a craft tag and stamped the 

Tim holtz  collage page stamp onto it with black archival ink.

I then highlighted areas with white gel pen Around the 

edges I blended faded jeans distress ink.

I used a Tim holtz paper with butterflies on and coloured 

these with red brick and spiced marmalade 

Distress Staines .

Then I used rock candy distress stickles on the wings.

The rock candy picked up the colour of the butterflies

An gold triple embossed strip was used 

Stick on and frame the butterfly name.

Tha dah! As Boots would say one card done. I hope you have 

Enjoyed this half on the go blog.

Jo Firth card

Hi everyone! I have been quite lately but have had a bit of a play today,

and out of it came this card. 

Firstly I put glitter paste through a circle stencil.

Once dry I painted a grey board square with Nougat and

 snowflake Fresco Finish paint.

I then introduced baltic blue and Mocha mousse, knocking it

back with nougat if it got to intense.

I then inked up the Jofy collection 09 plate with Ranger Archival

Once this was done I painted the buds with Claret and Rose Fresco

Finish Paint.

Taking a white gelli pen I then followed the lines and highlighted 

the buds.

I put a bit of white fire treasure gold on my finger and highlighted

the glitter paste circles.

I poped this onto navy blue backing card then stuck it all onto 

A square card.

Ta dah! all done hope you all enjoyed this simple card

Thank you for stoping by and please feel free

to leave me a comment or two.
