Walk Like an Egyptian

Still lovely and warm here !  Here are a trio of ATC's I have made as part of a monthly swap being run over on UK Stampers Forum.  This months theme is 'Walk Like an Egyptian' and here is my interpretation.

I cut 3 chipboard blanks measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches which I covered with some printed paper as the base.

The stamps I have used are from Tanda and had never been used before even though I have had them years.  The top eagle was stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with detail gold embossing powder.  The lower images of Egyptian figures were stamped in Archival black.

I then used metallic pencils and Posca pens to colour the figures as shown.  The letters are self adhesive.  Each ATC was edged in dusty concord Distress ink to finish.

The themes each month going forward are all song titles and I really enjoyed airing my unused stamps on these why not join us and enter ....... it's free and fun !

Wild Tag

Here we go with another tag in the Rolling Recipe series being run over on UK Stampers Forum.  This weeks ingredients are:

1. Tree/trees

2. Heat embossing

3. Stamped image of an animal

I started with a white card blank cut to size.  I used orange pigment ink and inked a tree stamp (PaperArtsy) and stamped it twice overlapping at the top of the tag.  This was then heat embossed with detail clear embossing powder.  I then used Impress dye inks in yellow and tangerine applied direct to the card from the pads and rubbed off excess ink lying on the embossing with a tissue.

I then applied more Impress ink in olive green to the bottom of the tag in a similar manner.  I then inked a roman numeral stamp (Stamp-It) with tangerine Impress and stamped at the top and then with emerald green Impress at the bottom.

The wolf image is from Lost Coast stamps and I have had it for ages and never used it.  It's quite a stunning image on its own !  I inked this with black Stazon and cut it out.  I coloured its eyes pale blue and pencilled in areas with silver and graphite derwent metallic pencils.  Finishing with Inktense graphite applied with a water brush.  A final spray with Moonglow Glitz Spritz in scintillating silver gave it a fab shimmer.  This was dried with a heat gun before applying with a glue stick.

The tag was edged with Colorbox chalk ink in orange and green and a grey eyelet applied with the crop-a-dile.  Some self adhesive letters were coloured with orange solvent ink to spell 'Wild'. A short length of silver cord was tied through the hole to finish.
