All Dressed Up Challenge

Sorry I've had nothing to show but I've been having some health issues, slowly getting back to normal.

It is new challenge time at All Dressed Up.
Our theme for this challenge is 

Spring Colours/Flowers

Here is my tag for this challenge


I have used one of the images from Wear with Style

I used a pearlescent card as the base to cut out the tag shape. I then embossed it with a Des'iree gothic script embossing folder and sprayed it with Dylusions sprays. Ive then stamped on it , embossed and frantaged it. The flowers have been made with Britianna rose dies.The image was printed and coloured with Spectrum Noirs and a little clear star and white pen.
This challenge will run until 2nd May.
Head on over to All Dressed up blog to check out the rest of the teams creations, and why not enter the challenge whilst you are there.

Creative Expressions DT Project

Here is my DT project for Creative Expressions for this week.

I've made a tag and because I liked the way the ribbon looked attached to a stamped image I've done it again!!

Also I've made a little tutorial too.

So here's the finished tag.

you will need:

A craft tag
Tim Holtz Distress Inks  Iced Spruce, Peacock Feathers and Ripe Persimmon
That Special Touch - Mechanical Mask

Stamps:
Creative Expressions. Stamps to die for Flower Frame
Creative Expressions. Single stamps. Steampunk Dressform

Ribbon:
Creative Expressions. White Sheer Wrinkled Edge Ribbon
Creative Expressions. White Crochet Ribbon

Gesso

Instructions:


1. Take a craft tag and emboss it using the Mechanical mask.

 

2. With the TH distress inks colour your tag and using the Iced Spruce go around the edges.

 

3. Place the mask on your tag and using the gesso and an old credit card spread the gesso through some of the pattern onto your mask. When dry (I used a heat gun) ink over with the Iced Spruce ink.

4. With some memento black ink just ink up the two bottom corners of the flower frame stamp and stamp the bottom corners of the tag.

5. Stamp out the steampunk dressform onto some card with black ink and clear emboss it.
    Lightly trace around the wings onto the sheer ribbon and cut out. Do the same for the skirt with
    the crochet ribbon.

6.  Using a clear glue adhere the skirt and wings to the dress form. Now adhere the whole thing to the tag using 3D pads.

7.  Add some white sheer ribbon the top and there you go!

 

I hope you've enjoyed my tutorial and will have a go yourself.

This week's Creative Expressions Project

Im on a roll this week, my Creative Expressions project is at the start of the week for a change!!

All sorts of things happening on this tag!! I started off with a manila tag and used the uber embossing folder to emboss it,  I then sprayed it with water. I then smooshed it through some spray inks. I stamped and cut out a Art House and dominoes from the Creative Expressions Sam Poole Art House stamp sheet. I coloured them with distress inks and added a white pen highlight. I swiped over the tag with walnut distress ink.

See you next week for another Creative Expressions project.

Creative Expressions DT post

Friday again and it's time for me to show you my weekly Creative Expressions DT post. This month we are working with two new stamp plates and today I'd like to show you a project I made with the "If the crown fits" plate.

 

Firstly I went over the whole tag with TH distress ink in Peacock Feathers and then I spritzed the tag with a Dylusions spray ink. I then splattered some water over to give it some texture. I then stamped out the border stamp in black ink along the right hand side. I stamped two of the crowns onto shrink plastic, shrunk it and then coloured them with a clear star gel pen. I then stamped, cut out and coloured the lady stamp which comes from the Sam Poole Artful Ladies stamp plate. I adhered her to the tag and attached one of the shrunk crowns onto her head.The other went around the hole in the top of the tag.  I stamped the sentiment from the if the crown fits plate onto white card and cut it out, inking the edges too. I cut out each individual word to help it fit onto the tag.

More Creative Expressions projects next week.

Cute Card Thursday

Another Thursday , time is flying this year. My kids go back to school on Tuesday!!!

Anyway it's Thursday so it's Cute Card Thursday Challenge time again and this week the theme is

Tag You're It

We would like to see a tag or a tag on your project.

I've made a tag.

So I started off with a kraft tag and covered it with ripped pieces of  bookprint papers. I then sprayed them with dylusions inks. Next I stippled cream paint through some sequin waste to make the dots. The image is a Gorjuss girl , I think it's called Owl. I coloured her with Copics and cut her out. The sentiment is from Creative Expressions - Art Sayings. The edges are inked and then I sprayed the whole thing with perfect pearls shimmer.

As always there is a prize for one lucky winner. Hope to see your tag project at Cute Card Thursday.

Studio 12 shabby chic tag

Yay it's Friday and looking forward to the weekend as we are supposed to be getting some sun at last!!
Today it is my turn over on the Studio 12 blog to show a project and I'd like to show you a really easy but effective tag.

When I received my Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 from Nikky I print out lots of papers, sentiments, embellies etc and make my projects. When I've finished I end up with lots of left over bits and I'm definately NOT throwing them away. So I use them to make tags or ATCs. So for this tag I've used left over papers from the Welcome Home kit. I've covered the tag with one paper and then ripped some other contrasting paper into strips and layered it onto the tag. I edged it with walnut distress ink and also inked through some sequin waste to create the circles. I next added some of the tape embellie from the All Sewn Up kit and then machine sewed around the tag. With another scrap of paper which I tore and inked I added the Emily Bronte sentiment. Next I cut out 3 of the roses from the Heavenly Garden kit, inked them and adhered them to the tag using 3D pads. An easy but effective tag!!
