Love......

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

I cut the tag from white card and cut another base the same size from re-cycled packaging. I used Fired brick Distress ink to colour the tag applied with a foam applicator. and spattered this with water droplets, removing the water with a paper towel to leave a pattern.

I then applied some texture paste with a spatula through a chevron stencil and allowed to dry. I then stamped the heart (AAll & Create) in Versafine black onto the tag front. I have recently seen some toilet paper casting done and thought I would try it out and used the same stamp as the base to do this. Once complete I then trimmed out the cast and coloured with more Fired brick Distress ink and used a black Posca pen to highlight the depressed images as shown. This was then stuck in place over the black stamped image.

I then added some torn Washi tape in pink and black as shown. I stamped a few small numbers in more black Versafine ink.

The tag front was stuck onto the base and the tag edged in black Versamagic chalk ink. I added a black eyelet with the crop-a-dile and threaded this through with some wide gros-grain ribbon tied in a knot.

The sentiment (AAll & Create) was stamped in Versafine black on white card and heat embossed with black embossing powder, trimmed out and matted on black card to leave a fine border. This was then added on foam pads as shown to finish.

Florals......

Made these three ATC's for a virtual swap over on UK Stampers Forum ....... in the theme of 'Florals' ....

I used three pieces of re-cycled packaging as the base cut to 2.5 x 3.5 inches. I then cut three more pieces of white card and treated these with white gesso. I then applied a light and uneven coating of texture paste and when dry added red & orange matte acrylic paint with a large brush. Before this dried I wiped off some of the paints back to the white texture paste and dried with a heat tool. These were applied onto the re-cycled packaging bases.

I then stamped some checkerboard & numbers stamps (Dina Wakley) in red and coffee Archival inks. I then added some slivers of book paper.

The flower stamp (AAll & Create) was stamped onto white card and the images coloured with Prismacolour pencils, trimmed out and applied as shown. Each of the ATC's was spattered with yellow acrylic paint and some white paint applied on the edge of an old credit card.

Each ATC had some yellow Posca applied around the edges and three yellow dewdrops were added with Glossy Accents to finish.

Calm .....

I made this card using a 5 x 7 inch white card blank ......

I used a background made with Gelatos & water on white gessoed card. I applied a design through a stencil over this with texture paste and when dry painted the raised areas with Cosmic Shimmer mica paints in a variety of colours in line with the background colours. Pity the mica sheen can't easily be seen in the photo !

I then stamped the Seahorse stamp (Visible Image) on white card with Archival black ink.  This was trimmed out and coloured with Ecoline brush markers in greens and blues with highlights from a white Posca marker before applying on foam pads as shown.

The background with seahorse was them matted on black card and applied to the card base. The sentiment stamps (Visible Image) were stamped in Versafine black ink. trimmed out and coloured with more brush marker before being placed on foam pads as shown.

Final touches were to add a few blue adhesive pearls onto the background .....
