Acetate Tag - With Bee Arty!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a tag to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty!

 

I created this tag as part of last weekend's Great Australian Craft Show and you can see a video here. 

  

I've created the tag using some plain acetate/transparency and the new Fearless Brave Free Collection designed by Fiona Paltridge. 

My tag is 8cm wide by 16cm long. I stamped along the left edge and bottom of the tag using Stazon and the Fearless stamp. Then I applied Deep Water Colour Paste through the Directions stencil also along the left and bottom of the tag.

I added some ribbons to the top of the tag and an embellishment cluster along the bottom. The cluster included papers from the Fearless Brave Free paper collection, Black die cuts from the Abstract circles metal dies, white gauze and a flair. 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Tags - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing 4 tags I made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

I dont often make tags but I always admire what others create so I thought I would give it a go, and it was a great excuse to use some of the Prima Tag Pad I purchased many years ago and have never used!! 

The first 2 tags I made were masculine coloured. I started by selecting some chipboard and adhering it to the tag. I also added some magic mesh for dimension. I then applied some Art Anthology velvet dimensional medium (blue, brown, and purple) across my page using a palate knife. These paints are somewhat transparent - sort of like a tinted gel medium.

  

Then I added some Lindy's Magicals (blue, black, gold, brown and pink). To finish I added some stamps, beads applied with soft gloss gel, twine and a metal charm, black paint splatters and I used a Fude Ball pen to define the edges.Here is the finished tag. 

 

For the second tag I gesso'd over the chipboard after I had adhered it to the tag and I added some twine before painting (I also used a stencil). I used  Lindy's Magicals (blue, black, gold, brown and pink) to add colour. To finish I added some ribbon, black paint splatters and I used a Fude Ball pen to define the edges.Here is the finished tag and a closeup. 

 

The next 2 tags are more femenine. I started by selecting some lace and the chipboard, adhering it to the tag and applying gesso (the gesso stops too much paint and water being absorbed by the chipboard).

Then I added some Lindy's Magicals (pink, purple, yellow). To finish I added some stamps, beads applied with soft gloss gel, a metal charm, black and white paint splatters (from a paint pen), ribbon, and I used a Fude Ball pen to define the edges.Here is the finished tag and closeup.

 

For the last tag I've used Lindy's Magicals (blue, green, purple, yellow). To finish I added some stamps, rocks applied with soft gloss gel, black and white paint splatters, lace and I used a Fude Ball pen to define the edges.Here is the finished tag and closeup.

Tickled Pink Stamps Christmas Challenge # 3!

Wowee, This month I'm a guest designer for the Tickled Pink Stamps Challenges Blog!
For the month of May the Christmas Challenge is "Christmas Tags".

This Mollie Mittens image is just gorgeous isn't she. I've always been a "Rubbah" gal, but for a tag I probably would have rather resized the image a bit smaller (one of the benefits of digi!) as this is quite a large tag (approx 8cm x 16cm), I'm going to have to buy a very big present aren't I (lol). I'm also still enjoying colouring in black and white only.
I love the traditional colour scheme and look at Christmas time and these Graphic 45 papers are just perfect.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by today, and for all your lovely comments, I love reading them.
