Wishing.....

Made a decorated tag for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum .....

I took some re-cycled Kraft packaging and trimmed to a tag shape. I then stamped and image (Green Pepper Press) in Archival black ink directly onto the card. I then used a variety of Waterbrush pens, Posca pens, metallic pens to colour the image.

I then chose a vintage boy paperdoll (TH) on foam pads. I applied a black eyelet with the Crop-a-dile and tied some satin ribbons in matching colours through this.

The word (Happy Little Stampers) was stamped onto white card in Versafine black, trimmed out and applied on more foam pads to finish.

Believer.....

Made a decorated tag for a  virtual swap on UK Stampers Forum .......

I collaged a lot of materials onto a white tag blank. The background consists of torn ink-stained paper & Washi tapes. I used a border stamped and yellow Memento ink at the top, a smudge stamp in red Brilliance ink and a butterfly stamp in Versafine black.

I then added a paperdolls ballerina die-cut on foam pads and a printed sentiment torn at the edges. Two brads were added and the tag tied through with pale yellow satin ribbon to finish.

Butterflies .....

A decorative tag made for a swap over on UK Stampers Forum .....

Made on a base of recycled packaging and covered with a Gelli plate print made with acrylic paints, stamps & stencils.

The Butterfly circle has been die-cut from white card and stuck onto the base. The die-cut waste was coloured with Copic markers and applied over the die-cut on foam pads.

The sentiment is printed and coloured with Copics. The tag top was punched with the Crop-a-dile and a matt silver eyelet applied this was filled with some fine lemon grosgrain and spotty teal satin ribbons.

The tag was finished with clear Dewdrops.

Souvenir ......

I am taking part in a 12 month Challenge in UK Stampers Forum where we choose a stamp which then circulates round to all the 12 participants who each make something using the stamp !  This is my collaged wall-hanger using the postcard stamp ......

I stamped the main image onto Kraft card and trimmed out .... this forms the central image on the collage.  I have also used printed papers, paper tape & a real stamp to decorate.

I have used laser cut edges to frame the postcard which is mounted on foam pads. Some other stamping along with a glass cabochon.

The whole piece is matted on green textured and yellow card with some penwork and brown chalk ink (Versamagic) to edge components.  The collage is hung using a couple of brass hangers fixed with brads and threaded through with some black satin ribbon.

I have tried to preserve the vintage Kraft card look throughout with some little dashes of colour !
